Review: Holy shit this is good. I don't know how I missed this one but you did an amazing job with this team graphic. The detail work is top notch and the effects and your layering is also a few steps above greatness. Some of the things you did are not easy but you pulled it off in grand fashion. I really like the gritty look and whatever sketch overlay you used. It really makes this unique, and I love unique. Parts of this remind me of an old 70's porn film but in a good way. Great job. 10/10

Review: I haven't reviewed any theme week graphics but this one caught my attention. Not that others are bad, yours just has a certain look to it that is bold and has some action. Great pick for the render/background. I think it represents what an ad should be. It has all the points of interest about the league and the font you used is epic. Epic in a way that looks good but the kicker is, it makes you read every line. I'm not sure you did this on purpose or you just happen to like this font. It works and looks great. This ad is so convincing, I almost joined again. Great stuff 10/10

Instead of reflecting on this past year, I think I want to look into the future and try to imagine how life will be in the league. It seems like we are shrinking a bit and some serious attention needs to be focused on getting some new members. Members that will have a good experience and do all the things needed to become a great player and member. Sounds so simple but I know if it were, we would have a lot more coming into the league already. So I have no answers to the recruitment issues but I hope the league makes it a topic of the highest level of concern. Without new members, ones that will actually want to stay and be active, I fear the league will lose even more and make it even harder to rebound. I do have faith in the leaders and will keep a positive attitude towards the league. I just want it to be the best sim league there is. Not much to ask for. Happy New Year!!! Word count: 176

Presser for the week ending 1/7/24 1. The team has been shaping up due to most of the team has been earning. What are you thoughts going into the season? Playoffs? Too soon? 2. Do you have any regrets about what position you created? I have had 2 dmen and 2 centers. I really like dmen, thoughts? 3. With the new year comes a new beginning. Do you have any plans on changing the way you do something? Job, car, new bf/gf? 4. What is my favorite 6 point task? 5. What task do you like the most? 6. Do you have any "New Years" resolutions? I aim to meet and get to know more of the team. Happy New Year and always stay safe

Review: I always like reviewing you work. I can copy and paste my comments for most of them. I still like your text stack you use. You might consider trademarking it. The render looks well processed and what doesn't work with blue and gold. The background is strong and the render plays the part. I am a bit confused about the small render and why it was needed but hey, that's in your head, not mine. Overall, fun to look at and well done in the BOOM fashion. 9/10

Review: Good professional looking player card. I looks like you thought this one out and the results are solid. Nothing has been over baked and all elements are working together nicely. The text and stats are positioned perfect and the logos are placed in a manor that adds balance. Overall a great job. I would think that a VHL logo on one side would have looked good and maybe that black framing could have been a bit lighter. I like it, the effort is there. Great job. 9/10

What great time to have an off season. The holiday season with no sims and everyone is happy, the Christmas charity event. It's just a fun time to be alive. Moscow looks to gain some wins with the addition of active players with a history with the coach. The locker room is like a boys club filled with old friends. So it is very active and I hope that stays that way throughout the season. Gunner is looking to keep his career moving in the right direction and should hit the 800 TPE mark fairly early into the season. His build is shaping up well and looks to be a dominate force in the near future. Of course winning a cup or three is in the cross hairs and anything less than a cup streak would be less than ideal. I always set the bar high for my player and the team I am on. It's really the right way to do it. Have a fun Christmas and stay safe. Word count: 170

Last one.

Presser for the week ending 12/31 1. Have any expectations about your Christmas gifts? Want something special? 2. The team is shaping up really well, what are your thoughts on the team? 3. Spartan is going to be our goalie. Does that motivate you in any way? 4. What's the best part about the VHL you like the most? 5. What's the worst thing about the VHL? 6. Do you have your own family get together or does your whole family have a feast for the holidays.

If you have an itch, scratch it.

Review: Being a captain has always been a special moment for a player. They earned the respect of the team and deemed fit to lead. This graphic has all the right elements to express that feeling. The player looks pumped and looks well cut and positioned. You can't miss the text as it stands out bigtime. I think Helen Keller could read that. I can only find a couple of things that might have been changed. The background is a bit dark. I know there is a picture there but a little lighter would have been nice. The font could have been almost anything that had a bit of flare to it. I do like the back glow to the text. Overall this is a great take on becoming a captain. 9/10

Review: I really like graphics that use fewer elements but executed well compared to multiple layered graphics that are thrown together. This one is a very pleasant graphic to look at. The effects with the shadowing and super cool darkened cityscape is a notch above the rest. Your use of 3D on the logo and text looks really good and you don't have to look hard to find the focal point of the graphic. I really like the font you used. It works well with the offset and zero fill. Great job that was made in a proper way. 9/10

God it is fun to be in the off season with a non playoff team. It seems like the days go by really fast but the weeks take forever. Don't get me wrong, I knew we would be here as Moscow is in the tail end of a rebuild. I think next season we might even have a few strong string of wins. I am very excited to play with the talent we have and will have. Just, for the love of God, get me through this off season. I know once the playoffs are over, the league flips the switch and shit gets crazy. Before you know it, you are playing in the next season. I want to get there without the boredom of the early off season. It will never change. I spend less time looking at the forum and I am sure others are enjoying the break as well. When it comes time to play, we will be there ready to play. I hope everyone has a happy holiday season, however you celebrate it. Stay safe. Word count: 179
