1 with this year near to his end, what are yoir objectives for next year in the vhl?
I'd like for Dvorak to make it to the VHL and become a solid, contributing player.
 
2 What do you want to see changing in the vhl next year? (I want an all star game so bad)
An all-star game would be great. To be honest, I don't have too many changes I'd want to see. Just want this to continue to be the fun and welcoming community that it is as we hopefully iron out the negatives.
 
3 The regular season is near to his end, do you have any regrets? ( did you want to score more goals or make more assists?)
It's hard to have many regrets about our team performance so for me it's all individual. I would've loved to score more, yeah. Although the defensemen who were better than me seemed to not have much trouble, so I can't complain too much.
 
4 With the playoffs so near, what are your objectives for the playoffs?
Win the cup. Nothing else. That's what I want to do in the VHLM.
 
5  What team is, for you, the most dangerous during the playoffs.
I mean, the Aces or the Bulls for sure. But then it'd be obvious that they'd be dangerous since if we met them it'd be in the finals. Within our own conference, I think Philadelphia could surprise some people. There's more talent on that roster than their record might suggest.
 
6 Would you like to have a player who wins always the championship but never a personal award or a player that always wins personal awards but never the championship?
That's a tough one. I think it depends on the team I'm on, and it's a close call, but in most situations I'd go with championships without personal awards. I've had hall of fame players already, so why not just enjoy the team success with a good group of members?

@JardyB10 this guy solved the assassination of david knight

If you leave just give me your pw so I can update your player

User @ajwllmsn has received a 3-week TPE ban (December 27th-January 16th) and temporary suspension of his gm job in Las Vegas for violations of the code of conduct. (section 1.2) The official ruling of his Gm role will come from vhlm commissioners at a later date.
 
The user was found to be claiming TPE for the following accounts that are owned by other individuals. The accounts include:
@PistolP
 @Xalen11
@DeeGoat
@Vinnie
 
These players will be given a 1-week TPE ban for allowing another player to update for them. (December 27th- January 2nd)

I am a hot sexy single in your area

1 the team is having an up and down moment, yeah we are winning some gemes, but we are also losing some, do you think this is normal?
I think it's normal, especially in the VHLM. There's not as much separation between teams in the M, so you can have peaks and valleys.
 
2 How would you fix our problem? would you changes some lines or maybe just make a trade?
If anything I think it's lines - but I don't think there is anything to be fixed. We're the best team in the league and on a seven-game winning streak!
 
3 Who do you think is the biggest presence on the rink?
Gotta be Ragnar Hagstrom. Leading the team in points as a defenseman (plus third in the league in goals/points, fifth in assists) is a big accomplishment. We've got a fantastic defensive core but I think he's the biggest part of that.
 
4 Now, who do you think is the biggest presence in the lockeroom?
There isn't necessarily one biggest presence in my opinion. I'd say Max Torq would be the closest though.
 
5 if you had to pick a hat to give to the first star of the game (of our team), wich  hat would you choose?
Something like this comes to mind. Although wearing a hat that involves killing a lynx seems counterproductive when the Lynx is our team name! Maybe we can have a cruelty-free fake fur version of that.
 
6 Who would win in a fight between me and 16z against a lynx? me and 16z or the lynx?
I have to go with a Lynx. That's a wild animal with teeth and claws, and a fairly big one at that. Unless one of you two is like a UFC champion or seven feet tall (or a seven foot tall UFC champion) I can't see it happening. Assuming you're fighting this lynx with your bare hands.

manipulation is bad.

I kind of think this is where I’m landing on this. What a rollercoaster! I’ve been so concerned about “Horcrux” since “she left,” then this broke and I felt/feel sickened and foolish and kinda mad. But now I’m kind of back to concerned again.

User @Kachur has been permanently banned for creating a fake charity auction item and essentially conning a member along with various violations of the VHL Code of Conduct.
 
In particular:
Section 1.2, user was found to have created and used multiple accounts/players ( @Horcrux & @Horvat98 ), who have also been banned. Section 1.5, user on various occasions made unprovoked antagonizing comments and generally caused unnecessary, drama-provoking, discussions. Section 1.4, user admitted to attempting to bait another user into violating the Code of Conduct.

User @Alexandrehas received a 3 Week TPE Ban (Dec 27-Jan 16) for violations of the VHL Code of Conduct (Section 1.2).
 
User was found to have created and used multiple accounts/players. In addition to the TPE ban, the following accounts have been banned:
@Jacksparrow @Cruze @Thatsurfdude @Sharky @Collusion @Grosgars

So my new recreate is going to be drafted this offseason, and I don’t think I’ve ever really said anything about my plans for this player. To be honest, that’s because I barely have any. I didn’t even know if I was going to recreate right away - I told some people that I was planning on taking a break but ended up deciding not to. My logic was that I don’t plan to be a big TPE whore, hall of fame player this time around, so there’s no harm in just creating at the deadline and claiming 5 TPE pension.
What are my plans past that? I have no idea. I’ve thought about testing free agency a bunch of times with this player (or at least after my rookie contract). That’s something that I’ve thought about doing a lot with past players, but I never really end up committing to it since free agency is always more difficult than I anticipate going into it. I always feel bad about saying no to teams who put a lot of effort into their pitch. So I might do free agency again, but I don’t know if I’ll do the Leeroy Jenkins thing (older members will know what this means) and just sign one-year contracts. At one point I was thinking about trying to play for every single team in the league during my time here, but at this point there are so many expansion teams that I don’t even know if I could do it unless I had like four more players. Being on one team for my whole career with Camus was fun, but of course that was much easier as a goalie when only so many teams have a spot so you’re less likely to be traded. Defensemen seem to be more in demand now. 
Also, I have to say the holiday charity drive has been really fun this year and it’s been nice to be even a small part of it. Time to dust off the old photoshop so I can make rory their sig.

I suggest this $170, extremely boring, platformer with 1000 levels.

At least I'm aware of the first part I guess.

I don't think "island getaway" is a good way to describe the experience of going to Long Island.

maybe we call them Despair Isles

That red line gives my mom a beach house. I've always wanted a beach house in the family. I approve.

This.
 
You can rebalance the attribute costs all you want, but at the end of the day people are going to find out what works best and flock to that. We've discussed some ideas in the BoG regarding this stuff, but my main issue is that there's no real way to change anything. We can dress up the costs differently and make archetypes but at the end of the day, certain stats will dominate regardless. I think that's an unfortunate downside to STHS. But unfortunately, it seems like STHS is our best bet in terms of simulation software so here we are. 
 
Nice thread though Shindigs, keep up the good work. I like seeing new users jumping in and being part of the discussion in a healthy manner. Cheers.

1 As I am writing this, we are finally first in the eastern conference, do we deserve this spot?
Seems that way to me. It looks like we've got a deeper roster than anyone else in the conference so it's hard to say no.
 
2 Who do you is our rival this season? I'm going with mississagua.
I agree. We're in the same province after all. Plus we're the top two teams
 
3 In your opinion are we doing better or worst then last season?
Worse, I think - but it's hard to match what the Lynx did last season. 122 points and a cup is an insane result. The funny thing is I think we could be worse that we could be worse than we were last season and still win both the Founder's Cup and the Prime Minister's Cup. That's how good Ottawa was in S80.
 
4 top scorer predictions: who do you think at the end of the regular season will win the top scorer award?
That's a tough one. I'm going to go with Vasile Lamb - he's got the benefit of comfortably being the scorer on a solid Mississauga team, while his opponents in the points/goals race are all on teams like Houston, Ottawa, and Las Vegas where the scoring is spread out more. Not to mention he's already capped at 200 TPA, when a lot of his competition isn't.
 
5 recently me and @16z talked about what we put on our pizza, now you reply to the question, waht do you guys put on your pizza?
I do like a simple margherita pizza - just tomato, mozzarella, and basil. I think peppers are great too, I really like jalapenos on pizza personally. And obviously you can't go wrong with pepperoni.
 
6 always pizza related, does pinapple belongs to pizza? (you better give the right answer, I am italian)
Definitely not. I won't begrudge anyone who likes it but to me it just doesn't belong.

You're right.
