  1. 1. Yeah, I didn't expect us to do this well so I'll take a 7th. 2. They're all gambling addicts, just get a slot machine in the rink and we'll be fine. 3. We need EMERSON back!! 4. Yes. More coke and hookers is needed for better play. 5. Mexico City is the only team with budget rory and budget hylands. Dealbreaker against any other team. 6. Can I say me? I'm gonna say me because I have almost the most tpe.
  2. yes...paying for photoshop...its definitely what we all do
  3. Talking more NKs. Arso is easier to fake, but if you claim Doc in an SK game, you'll catch some heat. Same with Sheriff in a WW game
  4. RJ Thatcher - Scouting Report Rodney-Jay Thatcher (RJ Thatcher) was born in Papua New Guinea. He worked his way up and signed with the Mexico City Kings in the middle of the season. He proved himself to be a promising player so the Kings decided to draft him 9th overall in the S74 VHLM Draft. In his short S73 stint, he scored 3 goals and 4 assists in 19 games. Currently, 55 games into S74, Thatcher has put up 38 goals and 34 assists. He's 7th in the VHLM in goals, best on his team, while also having the 3rd-most assists on his team. This is very good production from someone who's on a playoff team and was considered to be "too raw" at the 9th overall pick. Physicals RJ Thatcher stands at 6'1" (185 cm.) and weighs 200 lbs. (91 kg). This is a very standard physique, as when comparing to the NHL, their players have an average weight and height of 199 lbs. and 6'1". Being 18 years old, there's a chance he could grow a bit more, but it's unlikely that he'll deviate from these numbers. Thatcher won't wow you at first glance, but his stature also won't be detrimental to his play. Mentals This is one glaring weakness of Thatcher. He's only 18 years old and he started playing ice hockey at the age of 13, albeit playing field hockey years before that. Compared to other prospects who have been on the ice for life, his awareness and in-game intelligence is far behind theirs. However, given his insane raw talent, a VHL team with a great youth development program can help him get this part of his game up to speed. Technical Skills - Pros --Scoring-- Thatcher is a scorer, plain and simple. This is evident by his current rank in the VHLM's goal leaders, that being 9th-best. His number of shots is also 6th-best, proving that he isn't erratic with his shooting. VHL GMs: if you want to draft RJ, be prepared to let him shoot the puck. --Defense-- This one is a surprise, eh? Despite playing at the LW, Thatcher is known to be a very strong defender. He's not the type to try and level the puck-handler, but he has good positioning and poke-checking skills. Technical Skills - Cons --Puck Handling-- "Puck handling? Why would I need to grab the pucks?" Safe to say that puck-handling is a weak spot of Thatcher. Early on in the season, it was impossible to run the offense through him because he kept turning the puck over. However, he's starting to improve in this area. --Discipline-- This one ties into his lack of experience, but Thatcher isn't a very disciplined player. Although he won't be dirty on the ice, he commits simple errors that gift the opposition the puck or a powerplay. 472 words

  8. Rodney-Jay Thatcher, or more commonly known as RJ Thatcher, currently plays for the Mexico City Kings in one of the most popular leagues in the hockey world - the VHLM. But how did he get this far? Thatcher was born and raised in a very uncommon place for hockey stars, that being Papua New Guinea. His parents were born in Australia, but decided to move together to Papua New Guinea about two years before Thatcher was born. The official language of their country is English and Thatcher learned how to speak that, as well as another local language in Tok Pisin. Learning English proved to be invaluable when he later started playing hockey professionally. In his youth, ice hockey was not popular at all. However, field hockey was popular where he lived and RJ took to it quickly. Thatcher dreamed of representing Papua New Guinea on their Olympic field hockey team, but when he was 11, he and his parents moved back to Australia. Thatcher did not have any troubles assimilating into his new environment, but his field hockey skills did not carry over. The field hockey scene in Australia was way more competitive and he simply did not have the skills required to excel. However, Thatcher started to follow the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) and wanted to learn how to play. The first step was to learn how to skate, which did not take RJ very long at all. After he could skate well enough, he started to practice on his own. He found that his field hockey skills translated very well to ice hockey. Despite his lackluster skating abilities, he was even better at ice hockey. At the age of 13, he started playing it competitively. While his skillset needed some finetuning, the raw talent was certainly there. The fluidity on the ice complimented Thatcher's game a whole lot. He worked his way up the ranks before being noticed by VHLM scouts at the age of 17. By then, his skills were sharper and he was one of the best prospects at his age, despite picking the sport up so late in his life. He signed with the Mexico City Kings mid-season and impressed them enough that they used their 9th overall pick on him in this past draft. Today, Thatcher is one of the best players on his team and he looks to bring a title to Mexico City. 402 Words
  9. 1. Winning more games than they do. 2. Mike who? Where's Emerson ? 3. Moar players, we almost have no bots playing. 4. Why would I play for other team when the Kings exist? But probably the Wild. 5. Spike their water of course. Drugged team is not a good team. 6. I'm a taco person personally.
  10. +5 RJ Thatcher (I have 5 carryover from last player, Will said that I could claim the first-gen stuff because it outweighs the carryover. So I'm just subtracting the amount from this bonus)
  11. neutrals might just want to stay silent and hope for the best tbh. They have enough firepower to potentially win after 3-5 days. It's also harder to pull off a fake claim as literally everyone wants you dead. For Maf and Coven, it's best to try and get someone else on your side to cover for you. For instance, have someone claim to be a TI and clear your name. It is true that if one of you dies, the other is probably going to be lynched. But I'd take your chances.
  12. 1. Yeah, this is peak Kings tbh. 2. There are a lot of new players yes, super exciting times. 3. No, probably not. We weren't supposed to be this good and I doubt we can do better. But we will see. 4. Uhhh I dunno, we have tacos and we have Emerson. 5. Riga would be cool as I'm already in their LR. 6. We will. We'll drop to just outside of the playoffs then get back in surprisingly.
  13. 1. I did not see this coming at all, I thought we'd be very bad. 2. Markus goat. He's been in the 3 Stars a lot more recently so I'd say he's helping us. 3. I don't remember my goals, but I do want to score goals. 4. More good players and more TPE. 5. Sometimes I'm a god, sometimes I play like myself IRL. And I don't know how to ice skate. 6. Anywhere on the beach, I like beaches.
  14. 1. Thatcher is very hot and cold. He should be the new IcyHot sponsor. 2. I'm surprised by how well we're doing. Cup push is next year guys. 3. I have no idea what the difference is. But I will say forechecking. 4. I'm going to surprise people because I am max earner boi and I will come straight from the underground on these bitches 5. We have a chance. I'm not sure if we'll maintain this chance but we do have a chance. 6. Probably a lot of wood. At least 3 wood.
  15. Sure. But generally, you don't want to lynch possibly 2 townies before getting the evil. It's a waste of time and more detrimental to the town. Of course I'd like to get the evils found and prove my innocence, but aren't we all innocent? Like I said before, the Physic results are moot at this point because everyone has the same (or better!) chance of being evil. I'm only open to voting Jeff because he has yet to defend himself
  16. did I just forget to vote? lmfao Vote Jeff
  17. Fair enough. I'm not a fan of lynching based off of early physic results, but considering Jeff has been online and chose not to respond, I believe he's suspicious enough.
