Hall of Famers Across Leagues: Who's Reached the Top in the VHL, SBA and EFL?
 
About a year ago, I had an epiphany. At that time, I wasn’t yet back in the VHL, but I was kicking around the SBA and the EFL, the two leagues that are perhaps considered the closest to the VHL in terms of member crossover, affiliate TPE and more. It was then that my SBA player, Solomon Serrano, was winning his first MVP, while my EFL player, Jurgen Flugel-Hagendorfen won Wide Receiver of the Year and an EFL title in just his fourth season. And when both happened, I started to think: Wait, could I have a Hall of Fame player in all three leagues?
 
It became my sim league goal right away. I already had two Hall of Fame players in the VHL in Hans Wingate and Gabriel McAllister, but most of my attempts in other leagues had previously crashed and burned for various life-related reasons. But if I could get a Hall of Famer in all three, I reasoned, it would be something that not many others had done and would be a feather in my cap. I didn’t know who exactly had done it, but I knew it was an exclusive club.
 
Yesterday, Serrano entered the SBA Hall of Fame. And with three WRotY awards and three EFL titles, Flugel-Hagendorfen is on a solid trajectory as well. So with that in mind, I decided to do some research to see who exactly had accomplished the Hall of Fame trifecta and, to my surprise, it’s even fewer people than I thought. There are a number of people with Hall of Famers in 2 out of 3, but I believe there’s only two members with Hall of Famers in all three of the close leagues.
 
Of course, this could be 100% wrong, especially with people changing usernames fairly frequently. Also, while the VHL and EFL have pretty easy Hall of Fame indexes (props to Victor and NSG), I was doing a lot of manual searching on the SBA, so there could be something I missed. Still, I tried to check everybody with at least one VHL and EFL Hall of Famer from what I can see, and here’s what I came up with.
 
(Also I'm aware this is leaving out the SHL, PBE and other leagues, but I've always considered these three the tightest, and they're the ones I've been in, so I'm rolling with it.)
 
@OrbitingDeath
VHL: 4 (Remy LeBeau, Thomas O’Malley, Pietro Maximoff, Condor Adrienne)
SBA: 2 (Miles Muad'Dib, Oberyn Martell)
EFL: 1 (Bryce Larkin)
 
OD is the first name I would have figured before compiling the list, so this one didn’t shock me at all. Green/OrbitingDeath didn’t enter the VHL until Season 30, but he’s been a force since then, with most of his players (including the current Duncan Idaho) being Hall of Fame worthy. In the SBA, OD was a force from the beginning, with his first two players making the HOF and Miles Muad'Dib going in the third ever HOF class. It actually kind of surprised me, then, that he only had one EFL Hall of Famer, and a kicker at that in Larkin (granted, the player the EFL’s Kicker of the Year award is now named after). I wouldn’t be surprised if third time’s the charm for his linebackers.
 
@.sniffuM
VHL: 1 (Tukka Reikkinen)
SBA: 1 (L’Royal Stokes)
EFL: 1 (Joplo Crittenden)
 
Especially as the other name alongside OD, this one actually did surprise me a bit—I’ve always considered Muffins a pretty VHL-centric member. But perhaps I shouldn’t have. Alongside all of his accomplishments in the VHL that led to him being named a Builder a few seasons ago, including Reikkinen’s career as an Americans star, his SBA point guard Stokes was part of a mid-30s SBA dynasty under Shaka that saw him win four titles and be named first-team all-SBA four separate times. The most successful of the Crittenden line, meanwhile, became the namesake of the EFL’s Tight End of the Year award after winning four straight awards between S9 and S12. Only one HOFer a piece, but it’s good to for the trifecta for Muffins.
 
In addition, there were a number of people that have two out of three, including names that I could have sworn had completed the trio but hadn’t actually done so. For members who had VHL and EFL Hall of Famers but not SBA (that I could find), there were three: @Advantage, @solas and @Bushito. All three members are VHL primary members with multiple VHL Hall of Famers who also picked up Hall of Famers early in the EFL’s lifespan as it picked up steam. But for one reason or another, none have had a breakthrough in the SBA—even including Advantage’s time as an SBA GM. I’m not sure I see an SBA Hall of Famer coming from any of them imminently, but you never know.
 
There are a few members that have SBA and EFL HOFers but no VHL Hall of Famers, which makes sense as those two leagues shared affiliate TPE early and are built off the same portal. One in particular stands out to me as VHL relevant though: @Cornholio, the agency behind current London lifer That Dude. A longtime sim league member coming from the olden MSFL days like myself and Doomsday, Cornholio’s had a few bites at the VHL apple, with Dude being one of his most successful at 100+ points each of the past two seasons. Dude has no award wins to his name, however, and my conversations with Corn have intimated that a future VHL Hall of Famer probably won’t be in the cards. (Shout out @MMFLEX who I wrote about here as well before double checking - do you not have an SBA HOFer? Would not have guessed that.)
 
And finally, I’m sure there are probably a few members with VHL and SBA HOFers but no EFL HOF player, given the longevity of the two leagues and how they shared members in the early days. But there’s one name in this category I would have bet 100% was on the above list of triple winners: @Molholt. The owner of the SBA, his players there have rewritten the league’s record books up and down, with multiple Hall of Famers. In the VHL, his Max Molholt helped lead what is for the next few days the only threepeat in VHL history. But to date, Molholt doesn’t have an EFL HOF player. His recently retired kicker Mowannabe Bad will be a very interesting test case then—he has three Kicker of the Year awards, but will that be enough to become only the fourth Hall of Fame kicker in EFL history? I think he has the best shot of adding his name to the above list regardless.

@Devise is it majority to vote someone to be jailed?

Looks like many unique roles. Specifically stated in the rules.
 
Harvey Bullock
James Gordon
Barbara Gordon
Luscious Fox
And then all the Bat-Family Roles, all the Mob Roles, and all the unaligned.

Since we probably aren't going to get a lot of info today with everyone trying to figure out what is going on, I'm just gonna go with the tried and true method of voting people up for a role claim... starting with the first person on the role list @Ricer13!
 
What's your role?

lol rip
 
So, hopefully with Devise mentioning Ra's Al Ghul they are actually in the game. Bringing back Gordon is probably the best town they could bring back. I just read up on Ra and they win by bringing back 3 players from different factions, but there is a 1 night cool down. Since there aren't any other dead faction members I think it would be very nice of ol' Ra's Al Ghul to bring back Gordon tonight.

For balance reasons all ToG games will include the following roles:
*All 4 Legendary Unique roles from each faction. (Commissioner Gordan, Batman, Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul)
*At least 1 Blackgate Jailor (Depending on the size of the game, the 2 Max could be mandated as well.)
*At least 4 members of both Gotham and Mob, 2 total members of both Bat Family and Unaligned. (This includes the legendary unique roles in each faction.) 

Well the locker room is cleared out and it's been days since we spoke but you cant get rid of me yet! I'm here one last time to pass on some season awards. Thanks for updating and having fun with me this season, I'll be keeping track and crossing my fingers for everyone's career.. In the VHLE or VHLM next season. GO LYNX GO

Welcome to VSN’s VHL playoff preview and predictions, in this article we’ll break down each series and discuss what players could be key to turning the tide of the series and potentially pulling off an upset. This was truly an incredible season, and we should be in for a few upsets in the playoffs While you’re here be sure to check out some of the other recent VSN articles and podcast.
 
VHLM Illustrated 1st Edition 3/6/2022 | VSN Podcast Podcast W/Sam & N0HBDY Ep.3 | S82 VHL Trade Deadline Recap
 
Wildcard Series
 
 Seattle vs. Toronto 
 
Our first playoff series could be a really interesting one with the youth of Toronto taking on all the veterans in Seattle. For Seattle this series could very well come down to their offense, led by offseason acquisition Taro Tsujimoto @Gustav who finished 3rd in league scoring with 139 points and S81 MVP Justin Lose @youloser1337. For Toronto, they will once again lean heavily on Oskar Lindbergh @Doomsday in the hopes that he can carry them out of the wildcard round for a second consecutive season. This Toronto team is very much still really young and as they approach their prime, they could be in good shape to take the league by storm. In order for Toronto to advance they will have to get the better of Kunibuni UnGuri @Berocka, who was acquired from Davos shortly before the trade deadline.
 
Prediction: Seattle in 4 (best of 5)
VSN vote: SEA 6, TOR 4
 
 Moscow vs. Malmo 
 
After making the playoffs on the final day of the regular season both these teams will have something to prove. For Moscow it is that them making it to the finals the 2 previous seasons wasn’t a fluke and that they still have it. For Malmo it will be to prove everyone wrong and go on a deep run and try to replicate their success from S79. Malmo will need their offense led by Nathaniel Minion @Minion and potential Boulet Trophy favourite Taylor Mourning @scoop to be firing on all cylinders to out-score Moscow. For Moscow, the other Boulet favourite Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath , will need to be at the top of their game as well. This series could very well come down to goaltending as Artem Tretiak @Molholt and Papa Emeritus @Beketov will go toe-to-toe all series. With that being said given their previous performances Moscow is the clear cut favourite here.  
 
Prediction: Moscow in 3 (best of 5)
VSN vote: MOS 11, MAL 0
 
Conference Semi-Finals
 
 Los Angeles vs. Calgary 
 
This series could be a really interesting one as Los Angeles won the season series 4-2, in what was for the most part some very close games. Dan Dan @MMFLEX is coming off of an incredible season that will likely see them take home a majority of the offensive awards and will likely continue their play in the playoffs starting off with a series against their former team. Calgary will likely lean on their scoring depth with all of Reylynn Reinhart @Ricer13, Tom Eagles @Greg_Di, and Gustislav Nasherov @Vat scoring over 100 points this season. Calgary has a real chance to pull off an upset here, however it’s very difficult to bet against Los Angeles after the season they have had.
 
Prediction: Los Angeles in 5
VSN vote: LAS 8, CGY 2
 
 Vancouver vs. Seattle 
 
After what Vancouver did in the regular season it’s hard to debate a reason on why they will not make it at least out of the conference semifinals. In the regular season Vancouver took 4 of the 7 match-ups losing in 3 very close games to Seattle. For Seattle to have a decent chance Kunibuni UnGuri will need to stand on their head in every game to shut down Vancouver’s offense. For Vancouver it will likely be Jerome Reinhart @MexicanCow123 who will lead their offense and will try to run over the Bears.
 
Prediction: Vancouver in 4
VSN vote: VAN 10, SEA 0
 
 Prague vs. Riga 
 
Possibly the closest first round series we will see, with Riga winning the season series 4-2. Additionally, since acquiring Alex Johnston @Alex Riga has gone 17-5-0, the best record in the VHL during that stretch. In that time both Johnston’s and Battre Sandstrom’s @Acydburn production skyrocketed, and they will likely propel Riga’s offense past Prague. With that being said Prague is not without offensive options as Darth Kaprizov @Darth Kaprizov led the league in scoring this season with 60 goals. This series could prove to be an offensive show, which will truly be a show to watch. Riga gets the nod here as they won the season series.
 
Prediction: Riga in 7
VSN vote: PRG 5, RIG 5
 
 London vs. Moscow 
 
Despite a dominant regular season that saw London surge to the top of the regular season standings in the European Conference, they will not have an easy road to the Conference finals as they will likely have to get past Moscow to win their first series ever. If Moscow’s defense led by Hard Markinson @STZ and Aurelien Moreau @Frank can limit London’s rookies offensively, this series could quickly turn into Moscow’s to lose. For London, they just will need to simply score more than Moscow, defense has been anything but a strength for London, and they will need Matt Avens @Mr Bohannan, Nils Godlander @Moon, and Zaza Colors @McWolf to carry their play from the regular season into the playoffs to get past the back-to-back European Conference Champion.
 
Prediction: Moscow in 7
VSN vote: LDN 4,  MOS 5
 
Conference Finals
 
 Vancouver vs. Los Angeles 
 
The  series that most people could see as the de facto Continental Cup Finals, the top 2 teams in the league will go head-to-head in the North American Conference Finals. Both teams tied for the least goals against in the regular season with 220, however Vancouver scored 26 more goals. Of note, Los Angeles heavily out played Vancouver in the season series, winning it 4-2 and outscoring Vancouver 22-15 in those games. Vancouver will likely lean heavily on their offense as always with Jerome Reinhart and Henry Tucker @NSG leading the way, although they will likely need Thadius Sales @thadthrasher to be at the top of their game for the duration of the series. Los Angeles defense could actually be the difference maker for them in this series with Tui Sova @v.2, Jan Hlozek @Bojovnik, and recent addition Tavish DeGroot @rory forming a very solid D-core in front of top goalie Rara Rasputin @Victor. This series will probably go the distance and should be anyone’s for the taking.
 
Prediction: Los Angeles in 7
VSN vote: VAN 3, LAS 4
 
 Riga vs. Moscow 
 
During the regular season Moscow took the slight edge in the season series winning 4 of the 6 games. Although Riga won 2 of 3 since the trade deadline. Similarly, to the NA Conference Finals, this series could prove to be a close one. Riga’s defense gives them the edge here though with Battre Sandstrom, Linus Zetterstrom @Ledge, and rookie Biggie Cheese @a_Ferk forming a very solid core and is the likely reason for Riga allowing  23 less goals than Moscow during the regular season. Similarly, to the previous series against London, if Moscow wants to stand a chance they will need to force some low-scoring games and heavily limit Riga’s offense which has been on fire since the trade deadline. This could force a lot of pressure onto Papa Emeritus who put up a respectable 0.911 SV% in the regular season. No matter who comes out on top of this series it will be a true joy to watch and it’s anyone’s guess who will come out on top.
 
Prediction: Riga in 6
VSN vote: RIG 6, MOS 1
 
Continental Cup Finals
 
 Los Angeles vs. Riga 
 
For the first time in 3 seasons, we do not have a Moscow vs. Vancouver finals. In the season series Los Angeles swept Riga 4-0, out scoring them by 7 goals in the 4 games. At this point for both teams it will likely be a battle of their offense with Dan Dan, Pistil Stamen @DMaximus  and Florida Man @zepheter going at it with Nils Tallinder @Patrik Tallinder, Isau Damoose @Eynhallow, and Alex Johnston. Offensively, Los Angeles has the clear edge. On the blue line things tilt in Riga’s favour with their very solid top 4 defensemen. Lastly, in goal Los Angeles has a slight edge with Rara Rasputin compared to Tobias Reinhart @Spaz, however this past season Reinhart outperformed Rasputin statistically with a 0.916 SV% and a 2.97 GAA, compared to Rasputin’s 0.915 SV% and 3.20 GAA. This series could go either way and will likely come down to the wire if the playoffs work out this way. 
 
Prediction: Los Angeles in 6
VSN vote: LAS 5, RIG 2
 
Thank you to everyone for reading and best of luck to each and every team in the playoffs! If you have any predictions of your own feel free to post them in the comments.
 

Muff did, let's go

Hey all. As some of you may know, I’ve been dealing with some stuff lately and it’s all come together to put me to the point that I will have to step away from the GM world. So, following the conclusion of the Season 82 playoffs, I will be stepping down as Warsaw Predators Los Angeles Stars GM. Hopefully by opening up the job now the league can have someone solid in place for as soon as the offseason begins.
 
After I failed at guiding Vasteras  Halifax in their post-curse-break years way back when, I didn’t think I’d ever try my hand at GMing in a sim league again (at least not in a top level league). I’ve been blessed with amazing players and good luck, but to be able to have the sustained success that Warsaw Los Angeles has been able to have these past four seasons has been awesome. I proved to myself that I could do it, which was pretty cool, and I ended up enjoying the job more than I ever thought I would (most of the time ;)).
 
It's tough to nail down one recommendation with the team housing multiple stellar newer members that will eventually be VHL GMs one day, but I was told I could only pick one, so my recommendation will go to @dlamb @v.2. Constant VHLM GM snubs aside, dlamb v.2 has a ton of experience with GM leagues, knows Warsaw Los Angeles hockey inside and out, and has proven to me over the years that, as someone on the team I could always lean on for another opinion, he can succeed in a VHL GM job. I hope he and any Warsaw Los Angeles player interested in the job will get legitimate consideration.
 
Now I just gotta go win a cup real quick then I’ll be out.
 
didn't want to write my own post so i stole  @.sniffuM's okay goodbye.
