How..... Unfortunate.

Just wanted to showcase some of 701's work, for those who weren't around for his time being active here / on other leagues. Really underrated graphics guy and he taught me a lot and helped me progress as far as I have from scratch. I'll never forget when he taught me Filter > Distort > Ripple.... The rest is history. Son was nice with it, without a doubt. RIP MY GUY!!! and a couple sigs I dug up where he and I collabed... I dont think these were the final versions, but it's all I could find: RIP

I'm sure some of you already have heard the news but a former VHL member, and long-time sim league community member, David Theusch aka @701 passed away on Monday, April 13th. He was only 24 years old and his passing was tragic and unexpected. David was a bit of a polarizing member who was never afraid to speak his mind and bring his thoughts/suggestions to the community. This rubbed some people the wrong way but also endeared many people to him. Speaking from my own experience, Dave was a genuinely caring and friendly guy who, like most of us, used sim leagues as an escape from the tedious grind of day-to-day life. He was always down to chat about anything and was fiercely loyal to his friends. Although he hasn't been active on VHL for the past couple of years, he was an important and active member when he was here. He was a very underrated graphic designer and loved to represent his hometown of Minot, ND, playing a pivotal role in establishing/rebooting the Minot Gladiators VHLM franchise. I'm making this post in honour of his memory. Dave was somebody who, although I never met in real life, talked with very regularly. There was a good period of time where he and I spoke every day. He had a great sense of humour and was just very easy to talk to and was a major influence in helping me, and others, learn how to make graphics. He was always willing to help, give advice, or just shoot the shit. Over the past couple of years, as we got older and more irl responsibility took up our time, we slowly lost touch and the news of his passing hit me pretty hard. I truly regret not reaching out and catching up with him when I had the opportunity to do so. Regardless of knowing 701 or not, please feel free to pay your respects or post any memories of him you have in this thread. Also, I want this post be a reminder that, even though most of us have never, and will never, meet each other in real life, real human connections are made between members in our community and to be thoughtful of this. Let people know you care about them and that they've brought a positive influence to you and your life. RIP David Theusch. You were always a real one and a guy I'm proud to consider a friend. You will be missed. I'm also including a link to a memorial fund that was setup to support his family and help alleviate the financial burden of his passing and funeral. If you have ability, please consider donating to his memorial gofundme page: Here.

I will confirm that v2 looks superior to me. ty ty

CGY 4-2

331 Helsinki Titans @ Malmo Nighthawks 332 D.C. Dragons @ Calgary Wranglers 333 Toronto Legion @ Vancouver Wolves 334 Riga Reign @ Moscow Menace

If your player doesn't get forced onto Malmo (which is what I assume happens) then I'm sorry....

what glorious stock usage and the text is fireeeeeeeeee

1.) Are you active in any other sim leagues? I am not. I usually tend to be active on one league at a time, and I'm permabanned from most of the other leagues, so it's just VHL for me. 2.) What are your thoughts on Moscow's season so far? I think we're doing really well, honestly. We may not be as dominant as last season, but we're still one of the clear strongest teams in the league, and we've set ourselves up for a good shot at the cup again. 3.) What are your thoughts on your individual season so far? Slightly disappointing but the last 4 games have been lit. SIM GODS PLEASE KEEP BLESSING ME. I BEG OF YOU. 4.) What is your favorite coffee based drink, if it's not "just coffee"? I'm a coffee fan but I disgrace the lifestyle by adding sugar and cream. Double double gang. I don't feel so bad because I know some real animals who order like 3 sugar/3 cream or even quad-quad. 5.) On a scale of thin crust to Chicago style deep dish, how thick do you like your pizza dough? Not a big fan of thin crust tbh. I prefer a nice bready pizza. Never had any true Chicago/NY style deep dish, but I do like stuffed crust pizza tbh. 6.) How many other players have you had in the VHL? Two others, three total. Jody 3 Moons, Bobby Digital, and Jet Jaguar. No HoFers among them.

Please enjoy your retirement, John.

More games against Davos, pls & ty.

Lord Karnage vs any two mid-tier HoFers

dw jubis, I got it I got it... Calgary Wranglers, RJ Jubis - Goal!Moscow Menace, Jet Jaguar - Stopped by Jacques Lafontaine ???

For my own misguided personal justification why my former players should be HoFers: Jody 3 Moons vs Tom Lincoln (hof) OR Mathias Chouinard (hof) --- whichever one is the closest comparison Bobby Digital vs Mats Johnsson (hof) OR Fabio Jokinen (hof) OR Jeff Hamilton (hof) --- whichever one is the closest comparison

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!

I'm in love.

Victor hasn't said a damn thing about this tournament and it's been a week. I want a refund.

TOR 3-2

Feels bad man

NEW QUESTIONS 1.) Do you have any thoughts on the recent SBA/VHL drama? Highlights for you? 2.) If you pay attention to sims, do you remember a specific game this season where your player really performed? What game is it? 3.) Which HBO television series is superior, Oz or The Wire and why? 4.) Moscow still hanging in there, 2nd in the VHL, even on a 4 game losing streak. What should we do to break our losing streak? 5.) You've signed a contract with a sports card company to autograph some cards. On 10 of the cards, they want you to write your player's catch phrase under the signature. What is the catch phrase? 6.) Will Victor be active at the trade deadline?

If you play on Moscow I will make a sig for you too!

Jeff Downey let it all hang out in this one.
