HOUSTON BULLS PRESSER! Hello and welcome to this week's Houston Bulls Presser! Answer three questions for 1 capped TPE or six questions for 2 capped TPE! What are your expectations for your new GM and future AGM? Would you like to be team captain? Now is your chance to say why you would be the best captain (even if you don’t want to be one!) What are your plans for the season? Will you be working hard and practicing a lot or will you be sitting back and watching everyone else work? Not only does the team need a new AGM and a new captain, but the team also needs a new mascot after Bully got fired for bullying. Any suggestions? Juan Ceson, former VHLM legend who filmed his award-winning biopic in Houston, is considering making a sequel. What would you offer Juan to have the opportunity to be in his film (and possibly win an Oscar!)? What book would you recommend all your teammates read and why? (This does not include Juan Ceson’s books as these are obviously essential reads.)

nice try, it clearly says im the gm

@Big_Dyl

it wasnt me that picked the winner, it was bryn yrwy's dad (aka my dad)

there will be a televised ceremony on national tv presenting ITSY with the trophy and ITSY's other winnings you dont get anything

I AGREE DEFINITELY RIGGED THAT CHARLES WON GMS CHOICE PS MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON DIDNT WORK

To take everyone’s minds off the upcoming trade deadline, Halifax 2’s GM Jeffrey Pines decided to hold a dog show and give a huge prize to the best dog. There was much interest in the competition, with even outsider dogs entering the competition against the rules. The following dogs were entered: Gizmo (Inker Belle) Maggie May (Pelayo Bolivar) Fred (Chad Powers) Pluto (Xhekajs middletoe) Kiro (Elf shoes) Charles (Jeffrey Pines) Itsy (Dorji Khan) Lila (Xhekajs middletoe) Unfortuntely, we were informed by the Pets’ Union for Performers (PUP) that we are unable to use photographs of the dogs without paying them and Halifax have already spent all their budget on shoes for the former GM. Halifax were able to afford to hire the world’s best dog judge, former Halifax captain Bryn Yrwy’s dad. He was hired as an impartial judge as it was thought anyone else connected to the team would be biased. The winner of the first Halifax Best Dog Award is Itsy, owned by former player Dorji Khan. Bryn Yrwy’s dad choice Itsy because of their wonderful disguise as a cat. It was so good one might think they are a cat! The runners up were Kiro (disguised as a rabbit) and Fred (disguised as a fish). There was also a special prize award for the GM’s choice of Best Dog which was awarded to the cutest dog not in disguise, Charles.

he did though

I'm shocked what happened to them!

thank you rory!

Jeffrey Pines is the best detective in the business. Okay, he has never solved any crimes before but he is totally going to ace this murder investigation. The brutal murder had been found in the middle of the Halifax 21st practice rink first thing on Wednesday morning, a scene so horrifying and gruesome that practice had been cancelled and all the players offered therapy to try and recover from what they had seen. Jeffrey’s first suspect was Chad Powers. Anyone with a name like that is more than capable of carrying out this grisly crime. He showed up at Chad’s house to interrogate him and was surprised to see Chad busy in the kitchen. From what Jeffrey knew of Chad, he wasn’t a big fan of cooking, but traumatic events can bring out strange sides of people. He could see that Chad was making some soup, probably to take as a sympathy gift. Jeffrey visited his AGM Smelly Sox because they had also been acting highly suspicious. Smelly Sox denied that they had even been to the rink that day which was a complete lie because they had been there when the murder was found. Unfortunately they also had an alibi as Jeffrey had given him a lift to the rink that morning and so Smelly Sox couldn’t have been there earlier than him. Next, Jeffrey visited Xhekajs middletoe who he highly doubted was the murderer but he also just wanted to visit because Xhekajs is the coolest and the nicest player on the team. But Xhekajs didn’t answer the door when Jeffrey rang the bell. Jeffrey sneaked round the back and used the key under the flowerpot to get inside and was shocked to see Xhekajs lying on the floor in the kitchen. “Help me, Jeffrey. I’ve been poisoned!” he cried, pointing to a bowl on the counter. Next to the bowl, Jeffrey saw a post-it note with “Love, Spartan” scrawled on it. The same handwriting that had been found next to the crime scene that morning on a matching post-it note saying “This is just the beginning!”. Now Jeffrey knew who the murderer was and they had tried to kill one of his player’s and they would pay for this. Jeffrey called the police straight away to report what he had found and in case Spartan came back to Xhekajs' house to finish the job or clean up the evidence. He also called an ambulance because he didn’t want to have to try and find another right wing. Then he drove to Spartan’s house so he could watch Spartan get arrested. The police were quick to arrest him and Jeffrey got to watch as he was dragged outside in his pyjamas screaming “I’m innocent!”. Jeffrey Pines had solved the murder! Jeffrey was very happy that the murderer had been caught before any more damage could be done. He also knew he needed to fix this. He picked up the grieving former Halifax GM Lexie Leitner out to buy new shoes to replace her beloved old shoes that Spartan had so horrendously murdered. So many shoes, all gone, just like that! Also Xhekajs middletoe was fine and is totally healthy now. Unfortunately, Xhekajs littletoe had to be amputated. @rory@LucyXpher@Xhekajsleftankle@Big_Dyl@SMYLS4@Spartan

Chad Powers Fast Facts Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chad Powers - then it runs away. Chad Powers is an official brand ambassador for ZYN, Red Bull, Anheuser-Busch and Pit Viper. They pay him not to be seen using their products. Chad Powers thinks fast therefore he is fast at scoring own goals. @Big_Dyl

1. With the recent folding of the VHLE, we'll be getting a few players from them as we begin S96. Do you think the E shutting down was a good idea? no i am sick of the vhlm. i want to leave this league. 2. What has your player been up to this offseason? i helped my dad fire the gm. he just wasnt up to the job. 3. What are your goals for the upcoming season? i have started making plans for opening a new airport and i have read that it can take just months to open so hopefully i can do that this season. 4. Which VHL city would you most want to play in? i dont know what teams are in the vhl. i have never been to the vhl. 5. What can I do as GM to keep this an active community? be nice to dyl. give dyl everything he wants. 6. Where do you think we'll end up finishing this year in the standings? i think we will finish somewhere between first and tenth. if we finish below tenth i will be really disappointed.

thank you so much!

1. The Aces have continued their tear into the final stretch of the season! What are your thoughts on how the season has gone for the Aces? The season is going great thanks to our star player Manny Ceson. 2. We recently picked up two players in trades? How do you feel about the Aces going all in this season? Of course they are going in. They want the best players to help the best player, Manny Ceson. Everyone wants to be on the team with him. 3. How do you feel about our odds making the Founder's Cup Final? Any concerns or points of optimism you want to share? We might make it but if we don't Manny already has a vacation booked to Mexico instead just in case. 4. The theme week this week was rookies! How do you feel rookies in the VHL, be it new to the website or to text based sim hockey leagues in general, contribute to the atmosphere of the VHL? We should ban rookies. New users have to adopt old players who can keep playing forever but only in the VHLM. 5. What are your favorite hobbies outside of playing for the best team in the VHLM? Manny has lots of hobbies but he can't tell you what they are as they are top secret. If you would like to know how to be great like Manny you can buy his new book which details the best hobbies to do to be the best. 6. Thoughts on revoking Manuel Ceson's captaincy? This is the worst idea I have ever heard. The only reason this would be a good idea is if Juan got to come back and be captain instead.

1. Where did the inspiration come for each character (Villain, Mad Villain, Pinky)? i don't know who those people are but i think there is a show called pinky and the brain so maybe that? 2. Will there be more characters in the future? i would assume so. theres only so long a character can play in the league. 3. Where will this end? the season will end in a few weeks. if we are lucky we will get to go to the playoffs. 4. Can you really tell me such a thing? dylan. that is the coolest thing i know. 5. Why you gotta be so cool? damn how did you know i was the thing i said? i am cool because i am. 6. When you gonna take me out? i had considered taking you out but i decided to let you live since it wouldnt be very cool of me to take you out.

i think youre onto something. i heard they even made the mad villain one of the team captains.
