Yeah it would be cool but it's also hard to manage as you can't see in-between Sims you don't know how many games your goalie will play that day

1. I think you would probably have to go Seattle or Coyotes, new team and new fan base you can have an identity with the team and be apart of the teams history 2. I would have to say I have a top three and they are @Banackock & @Gustav & @dasboot. Bana as I have spent some time with him IRL and had some good chats since he drafted me in S67, Boot for similar reasons as well as our hour long podcasts we would do almost every week. Gustav as have always had some contact with him since joining his team in S66 as well as trying to create a sim league together 3. Two point goal if you score from behind the blue line Q1. Which VHL member would you like to see come back Q2. What is your least favourite point task that you do each week Q3. If all the blues were to step down at once who should replace them to keep the sim league running

REVIEW: Firstly I would like to say this is a good article that looks at the snapshot in time for all three leagues. I do have a couple of ideas to make it easier for the reader to follow along. Firstly, I would include a screenshot of the ladder for each of the leagues so that way a person has not only your words as a reference point but also a visual representation as well. This way they can quickly line up what you are saying to the graphic. Also I would probably include Headings between each paragraph so it is easier to see which paragraph belongs to which league and you can also reference each of the ladders that way as well. Good article and would like to see more analysis stuff in the future

REVIEW: This was such a great and interesting read, this is such a great premise to bring in history and the sim league together. Not only did you tell a story about your character but you touched on an important real life story with enough facts and information that I felt like I learnt something whilst reading this. I honestly wouldn't change much at all about this media spot I think it is quite well written and hits on the emotial notes of that day in history. I might have to go back and read any of your previous media spots if they meet this quality. Very well done

1. Removing the Louth rule and the other side of the Louth rule. This would allow GMs to play whichever keeper they wanted as many times as they wanted. Now on this first observation of the rule, you think oh why not let everyone do what they want surely that would make the league a better place right? Well there are some scenarios where this would really hurt the players. First of all, you are a backup goalie who has just walked into the VHL, you know you will probably only play 8 games as you are one of the top teams who needs as many wins as possible. Well if there is no Louth rule, you probably don’t even get one start and if you need to play the back up role for 2-3 seasons there is almost 6 months of you not seeing your player do anything. Why would you keep updating and trying to improve if you aren’t even going to start. Also the same thing applies if you are a seasoned vet who has built up your player but your GM decides that they want to tank this season well that Bot goalie is going to see a whole lot more starts than you will that is for sure. There is another reason why this rule is beneficial to the players imagine you are a new goalie in the draft but all teams already have a star goalie no one is going to want to pick you because they don’t need a goalie at the moment and they can use the picks to get better players instead of a bench warmer. 2. Promotion/Relegation between the leagues This seems like a cool concept in theory where players can help get their teams up from the VHLM into the VHLE and then win the VHL one day, you can see how this works in the English soccer system where you climb the ranks and your little local team could one day play Manchester United to win the Premier League. However this doesn’t really work without a full overhaul of the league rules including the draft and the waiver system. What it will lead to is three pretty set leagues where the same teams play in the same leagues every season and some yo-yo teams that are two good for one division but not good for the one above so they win the lower division, move up then get demolished in the higher divisions so they bounce back down again. 3. GM Maximum Terms This sounds like another good idea in theory where your GMs can only be a GM for a maximum of 4 seasons then they need to reapply or get hired again. This however fails when you look at team identity when a GM knows that they can only be a GM for four seasons they need to make sure they go and win in those four seasons so by their last season they will make sure they are stocked up on players and they won’t care what the future looks like. This means when the next GM takes over they will have nothing to work with and we will see the old boom bust style system that the VHLM had for years.

55. I think that we have made some great strides forward, excited for all three to hit the ice with us 56. A+ well and truly but we truly won't know until we see some results 58. All the players dress up as zombies and Dixon fires his crossbow at us 60. I hope I score 5 more goals 61. The bear mobile would be a passenger van that is covered in fur 63. Plan my recreate obviously

@Banackock is there any chance of making the point task affiliation two ways?

Probably would've gone with a redback spider if there was a spider as they are much cooler looking

Canberra is in the Australian capital territory and not technically a state. The same as Darwin is the capital of the Northern territory but it isn't a state either

I just print off everything I write and she replies with a red marker and gives me a grade. Not really she would just call me a nerd

A teaser for my upcoming media spot So there has always been discussion over the VHL and job pay, I remember way back when there was a job pay audit done by member Proto or who is more commonly known as (one of those other AGMs Gustav had). This I believe didn’t change to much but I think that it is time again that one of the people that worked under Gustav delved deep into the VHL underworld to see who is being paid what and where we can reclaim some TPE back from the members, leading to more forum content when the ones with jobs have to go back to doing tasks. No one is safe from my reaches and I will make sure that everyone is doing the amount of work needed to receive their TPE. Could we see massive changes in how things are done, almost definitely not. Could we see major shake ups of weekly TPE brought in by those with jobs, again it is really not likely. Will I still do this task I have assigned myself. Well if we look at my previous history there is like a 5% chance. Will anyone care about what I write, maybe just my Mum. Anyway enough rambling see you when I finish my task or need more TPE.

So we all know that the VHLE is the leagues most hated league and we also know that the leagues two most beloved members are @BOOM and myself the two Australians this makes total sense then to move the VHLE to become the VHL Australia and rebrand all 6 teams. Well luckily enough for me there are 6 states in Australia and each state has a capital city so I have already selected my 6 cities and they will be in alphabetical order Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. So now we just need to come up with some names and identities for each of the cities. When deciding on the towns below I tried to pick things that were innately Australian, aren’t currently used by other teams in Australia so there are no stolen logos like there were with the Helsinki Titans and the Oslo Storm. Adelaide Kookaburras This is one of Australia’s native birds and it is known for it’s call that sounds like a laugh, most people of Australia will have seen and definitely heard the famous Kookaburra. The colours of the team would be a Brown and White to go along with the identity of the Kookaburra, the Burras as they would be known for short would suit Adelaide which is the 5th biggest city in Australia and is the capital of South Australia. Adelaide is also known as the City of Churches due to its wide variety of faiths and cultures in the area. This would surely be a great hub for some VHLA action. Brisbane Bushrangers My Home town of Brisbane, there were a few ideas I could have gone with here but I love the idea of Bushrangers. Bushrangers are an interesting subject when you are learning about Australian history, they were originally just escaped convicts but the whole idea changed around the gold rush and they became people who robbed under arms. Though throughout the years bushrangers have become symbolic as those who were rebels to the authorities. The most famous Bushranger is the of Ned Kelly who has had countless movies and TV shows made about him. The colours for the team would be Gold and Purple. Hobart Devils The Tasmanian Devil is an extremely popular animal and is even featured alongside Bugs Bunny in Looney Tunes, The Tasmanian Devil is a small marsupial that is pretty much only found on the island of Tasmania which is the smallest state in Australia and Hobart is the capital of that. The colours of this team would be Black and White in line with the animals colours Melbourne Crocodiles One of the most scariest animals in all of Australia in my opinion is the salt water crocodile, not only can they demolish you in the water they can run faster than you on land as well, plus they are angry beasts who are very territorial. Now Melbourne doesn’t have any crocodiles apart from those in the aquarium/zoo but it is a scary animal and its cool. The colours of course for this one would be Green and Blue for the crocodile and the water it swims in. Perth Quokkas The Quokkas are definitely Australia’s cutest mammal apart from our very own Boom. They live on a small island just of the shore of Western Australia where Perth is the capital. I am sure that the mascot would have gritty level of popularity due to how cute the animals are. The colour for this team would be an outrageous blue and pink because why not. Sydney Platypus Last and last for a reason Australia’s worst capital. But I have given them probably my favourite Australian animal the Platypus the animal that all around the world thought was a hoax, there is endless crazy facts about this mammal. But the Sydney team would feature a colour way of Red and Orange because we need some contrasting colours in this league. Well that is all for today let me know which team you would love to play for and who would be your rival team. Thanks

I don't know how

41. It is a little known fact that Zeph is trying to get out of the way of the pucks but because his ankles are so sore he can never get out of the way in time 42. They bring a mini net and just snipe goals in the locker room as everyone else is getting dressed 43. I really hate if I have to sit next to them in warm ups they like to juggle throwing knifes to boost adrenaline and get their hand eye going 44. Someone wanted me to autograph a kangaroo which is weird as I am from the USA and not Australian at all 45. They always eat a donut as that is how many goals they want to allow every game 46. I just skate really fast and aim for the knees

Boo one of my ideas didn't get chosen, but in all seriousness, I like this topic

Dear @Banackock I am writing to you at this time to apologise for the tardiness of myself last week as I didn’t attend any training sessions and it is quite obvious to see I did not get any better. I fear it was the week between myself going on a Holiday for my Sister’s wedding and the weekend of going to my in laws for Easter that I in fact forgot about my duty to the team and did not do any updates. I want to apologise not only to you but to the whole of the Seattle Bears franchise as I have let you all down. I know my performance on the ice has been subpar and that missing training is not the way I need to fix this so I wholeheartedly apologise to each and every fan. This is not what you expect from this great franchise and I will endeavour to make sure it does not happen again. I hope you can all forgive me and that I can repay you all by bringing a cup back to Seattle in the near future. Yours forever as a Bear Gustav Mattias

Hi all let us talk about the ideas I have for the upcoming theme week 1. April Fools Jokes Yes I know we just had the one with Josh embezzling all of the league funds as well as Beketov not being able to pay bills due to his opium addiction but what else could we do in the future? Look I know that broadcasting what the joke will be in the future is like the worst idea for a joke but lets here what you have to add. Or maybe you talk about what we have done in the past and if you thought it was a good idea or not. 2. Hall of Mediocre Who were players that played a full career and updated regularly but didn’t achieve much, write about what they did and how they could have achieved more if they had built differently signed elsewhere or if they had slightly better teammates. Like could Kunibuni UnGuri been one of the greatest goalies the league has ever seen if he played for someone other than Davos in his career. If Jerry Garcia was drafted to the Seattle Bears and been a part of the dynasty there could he have broke into the Hall of Fame 3. Rule Changes Do you have anything that you want to see the VHL add, no it doesn’t have to be realistic. Like could it be that teams that don’t make playoffs need to add two people to the latest PGA 2K game and the best golfers receive the best draft pick. Do we need to retire teams when GMs that have achieved more than 500 wins retire. Do you put anyone who has been banned into the VH Jail League and they need to win a cup before they are allowed to play back in the normal VHL. Let me know what crazy wacky changes you would make. 4. Trade of the Season So usually trade deadline is pretty quiet and there is only a few small trades here and there, but make a blockbuster trade that would rock the boat come playoff time. Give us your craziest predictions on what trades would make and break each team. Could a wildcard team with the right pick up suddenly become a cup favourite. Does a team that is rock bottom suddenly sell everything and look to the future. Tell me what you think would fill the forums full of forum content if this trade happened. 5. Offseason Shenanigans There have been people wanting to get the off season tournaments more hype around them. How would you go about doing this do we need to abolish them all? Should we make a new one, should there be a knockout cup based on all teams in one big tournament. You tell me how you think we could make the offseason great again where people aren’t just waiting for the next season to start they are waiting for the season to end as the offseason is where you want to be. Let me know of the 5 ideas which is your favourite and if Beketov choses one of these ones my fee is 2 TPE this season.

I'm not telling you, you'll never find out

35. The Very High Launch Rocket or the VHL Rocket for short 36. BanaCoin it is tied to the win/loss ratio of Bana 37. Three more Russian teams and that for Moscow to always make playoffs 38. Give free tpe to those of us in the southern hemisphere 39. Mentally just don't have any ideas on how to contribute at the moment 40. I haven't been paying as much attention as I should have

This weekend will be a write off as at my sister's wedding but going good

You already know it's bad advice my job here is done
