The new management of the Helsinki Titans are proud to announce their captaincy squad for Season 78! Team Captain: Valtteri Vaakanainen @Jubo Assistant Captain: Patrik Laine @PatrikLaine Assistant Captain: Dan Dan @MMFLEX

In fairness I was here first before I became an EFL guy

I'm the Tom Wilson of the VHL

Only kind of, the meta that we thought was so good isn't really the one doing the best anymore. Now that may be luck and bounces but it's not as black and white as it once was

Yeah was just trying to confirm the stipulations for a 45M cap. I think I would've rather seen everyone get the increased cap and just seen a pick docked for it, this feels real jank.

Wait so there's no penalty to going over the soft cap? Just a roster count requirement?

I can tell you who and what, can't tell you what the argument was about though

Applying. Well done in your time with the team @Jubo

Smd

Frank Funk Jr FO 70>50

Fuck you quoting me for Mr. White Knight? I was actually just trying to be polite and saying we stand with RJ and who he is. I didn't say fuck all about the OG post. All I said was we as a group aren't fighting and we stand beside our fellow GM. You could've picked anyone who actually commented on his post but you decide mine was the one? Fuck outa here with that shit

Based on this response I was misconstrued in what you said. From what I was reading you were saying IR had to cheat or underhandedly get his GM spot when that's not the case at all. So if I was wrong then I do apologize but if not I won't stand for the slander.

I can actually tell you exactly how, why and what the discussion was that lead to the ADV and IR hirings. So stop spewing more shit out of your mouth than your ass when you don't actually know the going one behind the scenes

Here's the thing though, none of us are fighting lol. We're all in unison and stand by RJ whether it be shown publicly already or discussed in our GM chat (which trust me it has).

I think you mean by that is it was confirmed in GM chat, caused a shit storm and had a rule change the next day or two

As a GM at the time of both of these incidents I will call you on this utter bullshit

Man the good old days or the dark days the toxic days, whatever you want to call them if you were a GM in 66-69 you know what I'm referring to. Being a GM none of this is surprising to me. I never had any internal view but I knew the mindset of Philly and how the team and players felt about the league and others in it. It was a very cult like collective which we've seen before, but I don't think to the strength of this. All of that said, things have changed and people aren't the way they used to be. The VHLM has gotten away from those kind of issues (not to call it perfect but it's getting there) and continues to thrive. Too bad they had to kill off that authoritarian dictator Banackock. Good read from you as always

Before I go on my little tangent/opinion piece I'll say it for y'all: Oh look a GM and Ex-BoG member who's part of that asshole Seattle crew Okay with that out of the way A lot of what I was going to or wanted to touch on was already done or touched by another great member in the likes of Beketov, Gustav, Devise and so forth but I'll go anyways. "I think the BoG should be abolished or at least drastically downsized" ~Dmax So I don't really get this. BoG is an advisory role. Blue Team has 100% power (unless somethings drastically changed) and can ignore BoG if wanted. That said the tendency was to find a middle ground. Size of BoG should be kept to sub 15 imo and it is as such atm (from my count). "as a regular everyday user, can have even a tiny bit of input to be made into consideration" ~Jiggs You can and do. What can be public is public. You could chime in on the BoG update threads or open up a suggestion thread. I'm sure you want to hear you can have more direct but it's nye impossible to open it up without giving the entire league an option. "we just got an update in February. And, well, quite a bit has happened since then" ~Fishy Touched on by another member but I'll reiterate. Yeah we had 4 GM changes and a commish step down. Historically BoG had some ability to input suggestions but commissioners have the final shortlist and final say. I can't speak on anything else but doesn't seem like much else would be going on atm "It's literally a group of individuals who are able to have focused discussions about possible changes to the league. Key word is "focused" - there's a reason that not all discussion or decisions is opened up to the league at large. It becomes much harder to stay on topic and keep a focused conversation about a single topic." ~Flyers(?) To put it simply: Fucking Ditto "I bet there’s a BoG thread telling all members to assemble in this thread to defend the board" ~Dasboot Based on history there wouldn't be a thread but it would be mentioned/discussed. But never encouragement to to go *Defend the BoG from the public*. Just what can/should we do to understand/address what's going on "This is why I'm saying this debate is a two-way street--I want to help the community and so does everybody else. I want to listen to constructive criticism and so does everybody else. Points that aren't points at all but are rather just "lol stupid BoG is dumb and bad" accomplish neither of those things." ~Gustav Again just one I want to Ditto on and reinforce So for my little TLDR: BoG is not perfect and never will be. It's a conglomerate of minds who are used as opinions to help Blue Team make a final decision. They are advisers and had only have power on HOF and Awards really. BoG isn't out to get you or anyone else BoG's "We've discussed that before" is actually true almost every single time. I've been there and been through the entire history of what's accessible to BoG. There's not much that hasn't been suggested before. BUT, that's not to say that those suggestions should be dismissed. There are times in the past we had told someone it's been suggested before and then brought it up internally to run it through again in a new capacity to confirm it doesn't make sense now as did it then. BoG get's shit on and thrashed far more than is needed and I don't understand where all of the hate sprouted from. They're good people and do their best to improve and help manage the league as a whole through their input.
