Ricer13

Great way to cap off a career.  Probably won't have another player that wins as much as uhtred.

Congrats Warsaw!!!

1. Hell naw! That would be too realistic. Tucker doesn't want to end up on the Quarantine List.
2. Being a new user & late season pickup for Miami, and then promptly winning the Cup (my only sim league championship to date) while I did nothing.
3. Hell naw! I love pineapple on my pizza. I'll go down for that if he goes down.
4. Vancouver, then Calgary. Ricer's a great guy, and so is Fonzi, I've had some fun times DMing them.
5. I would love to tell you that I know, but I don't.
6. That would be me! Tucker keeps sleeping through his alarms.

As always, reach out to me if you'd like to know what you got nominated for.
 

It's been a crazy year for @LuluSalesAway and me. Between switching jobs, moving states, and still being in school it seems to never end. Well, we decided that it wasn't enough and that we wanted more to add on. 

Since I consider the VHL to be another family of mine, I wanted to share with you all some amazing news. Coming January 2022 the VHL will gain another member (don't worry, I'll manage their player until they're old enough...kidding of course).

Here's to our first baby!

What a great week and weekend it has been overall and what a very special day it has been. I've been incredibly busy with work and everything going on, but things in the VHL have been going "swimmingly". Was gonna do this as a normal blab for VHL.com, but turned out to be media spot length and I am feeling lazy this week, hehe. Let's not even waste time and just get into the blabbing, OI?!
 
Let's build the tempo slowly but then quickly, okay? We beat Calgary climbing back from being down 0-2 and 1-3. Throughout the entire series I was very concerned with our position - even before it started. With the start that Calgary got, I had good reason to feel that way. Somehow, with a line change and bit of luck, we clawed back. When we made it 1-3 (first line change I believe), I still didn't think we'd come back though! It was a positive sign that we won a game, but 50% wasn't gonna cut it when you needed 300% the remainder of the way. One more quick line change reverting back to a certain set with a combo from the season and we somehow did it. There's a lot of people I like on Calgary and the team is full of excellent players and members. Some I'm fairly close to. @Ricer13 was a member of the Bears, we do have some interesting history being on opposing teams and we talk quite a bit. I really respect him as a person and member on the site, appreciate and value his opinion and with his new role, also respect the him as a manager. They built an excellent team this year and he really put wood on the fire at the end of the season with some trades. To the point that Calgary became hot at the end and made some damn good noise. I root for them too but nice to move on!  We beat Chicago 4-0 series and I think were told we weren't classy (and were toxic) despite being the only team, manager and players to wish the other team good luck and were the only team to tell the opposing team "good series" or "good season" etc (or comment GG day 1). I reached out before the round started and wished them the best of luck (even if I don't like Jeff), told them Chicago scares me and yeah, GOOD LUCK (and meant it). Hell, even after the series ended I said "good season, Chi" and did an NHL hand shake thing in the GEN Discord to which it was mocked by another gif by their leader. Bad blood between the teams and probably for reasons that are first world problems. I mean, we were a bit salty a couple seasons ago losing to a team we found to be weaker. It is what it is. Basically, there's always two sides and it isn't always as black and white as people seem to think or make it seem. Most of Seattle (frigging @gregreg) wished Chicago well, showed respect and didn't toss anything until it was thrown our way. Probably shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house. Very happy to sweep them. What a time in our LR! Best series win in a very long time! I still extend well wishes to most as they're a good team with good people but that victory was too damn good!  Prague and Warsaw fight it out to head to the finals. Warsaw scares me because their offense is absolutely lethal. Similar to us probably winning all the time, it doesn't make sense as they use different strats and blah blah. It works though and it's just something I've never done. They're a good team and have been very, very dominant for a long time. This could easily be their season. On the flip side, you have Prague. They've been battling to get to the main stage for a long time and while I think they're a bit of the underdog, it's doable. They're tied 2-2 in the series. With the right luck, chemistry and lines, it's possible. I like people on both teams but have known DA for so long that I have to root for Prague.  GOOD LUCK TO BOTH!

(POSTED FROM THE LIVE PHILADELPHIA REAPER AWARDS ON DISCORD IN THE REAPERS LOCKER ROOM)
 
Welcome Philadelphia Reapers players, fans, and VHL participants to the first ever PHILADELPHIA REAPER AWARDS! We had an exciting season and – although it didn’t end exactly how we were hoping – finished strong with a playoff appearance. Now that the season is over, the Philadelphia Reapers Management sought to bring forward a sense of recognition for some of the players who really stood out on the team this season in multiple ways. We’re bringing forward 5 exciting awards to present! They are:

THE RIGHTEOUS REAPER
THE ROUGH REAPER
THE RESILIENT REAPER
THE RISIBLE REAPER
THE RESERVE REAPER

Each of these awards will be given an explanation on what they mean and why they are awarded. Additionally, a list of nominees that were selected by the Reapers management will be listed before the winning player is mentioned. We thank you all for tuning in and are once again grateful for an exciting season with a very exciting team.

Let’s begin the show!!

------



The Reserve Reaper award is awarded to a player that might not have had a whole lot of playing time this season but still contributed heavily to the team when they played. Even with their limited time, they never backed down in a game and more than once showed they were a valuable player.

The nominees for this award are:

Taylor Mourning, @scoop
Zakary Delisle, @Zakary Delisle
Gregory Bates, @Tyler

And the winner of the Reserve Reaper award is…

------

TAYLOR MOURNING, @scoop! Congratulations!!

This award recognizes a member of the team who was constantly active in the locker room. They worked to lift everyone’s spirits and were always there to great people and help other members with questions.

The nominees for this award are:

Alex Johnston, @Alex_J32
Darth Kaprizov, @Darth Kaprizov
Tobias Reinhart, @Spaz

And the winner of the Risible Reaper award is…

------

TOBIAS REINHART, @Spaz! Congratulations!!

The Resilient Reaper award is a testament to stamina and longevity. They held some of the top ice minutes and were constantly helping the team perform. This award is not necessarily made out for the player with the highest goal scorer or point total, but a player who was a force when playing for the team.

The nominees for this award are:

Zelkjo Ranogajec, @ColeMrtz
Vasiliy Grigorev, @Noxalpha
Alex Johnston, @Alex_J32

And the winner of the Resilient Reaper award is…

------

VASILIY GRIGOREV, @Noxalpha! Congratulations!!

The Rough Reaper award represents the brutality of a Reaper. This is the player who was known for their hits, their fights, and their physical game on the ice. Whether it was a physical line strategy or picking a fight to boost the team’s spirits, this was the player most remembered for that contribution this season.

The nominees for this award are:

Ron Gorgonzola, @Ron Gorgonzola
Zelkjo Ranogajec, @ColeMrtz
JaredN Jr, @jared

And the winner of the Rough Reaper award is…

------

RON GORGONZOLA, @Ron Gorgonzola! Congratulations!!

------



And finally, the Righteous Reaper award. This is the cultivation of a Reaper. Incredible skill in all categories, an absolute force on the ice, and was counted on the most when we needed them. They contributed in all aspects of the game and were certainly a focal point of our team.

The nominees for this award are:

Alex Johnston, @Alex_J32
JaredN Jr, @jared
Vasiliy Grigorev, @Noxalpha

And the winner of the Righteous Reaper award is…

------

JAREDN JR, @jared! Congratulations!!

------

And that wraps up the first ever Philadelphia Reapers awards! Thank you all for an exciting season, and I can’t wait to see what each of you do in your careers down the road. You all deserve a special place in the Reapers history books.

Always remember, once a Reaper, always a Reaper.

FEAR THE REAPER!! 

Review:
Although the timing wasn't great ;). This is would make a solid magazine cover. I like the filters you used over the canvas as well as the text placement. I feel like it's missing sone elements to be a magazine cover or poster maybe a proper header or some logos. The overall feel is nice though. Also minor tweak to Wranglers maybe more of a Calgary colour scheme. 8.5/10

If only our sim gave a shit about lore or logic...
 
You would be better off telling them to try to steal whatever lucky bear paw @Banackock has been hoarding for 10+ seasons. Honestly at this point I'm starting to think Bana and Simon having a torrid love affair lol

Cheaters! Lame Bear cheater lame boys!
 
Go Prague!

Welcome to the VHL! 
 
Here's an extremely handy article on how to get started:
 
I found the league in a similar way to you, so I know the feeling. A quick summary of the VHL is a hockey simulator where you and all the other members create players and add 'TPE' to their player's attributes to make them better. Those players are entered into a simulation engine, and you get stats and standings and a cup winner. The ultimate goal for most is to become a GM, but it's a long journey, albeit an extraordinarily fun one. The community here is great, and I would recommend joining our discord, but again, there are members who thrive without discord. For me, I didn't have discord for the first few months of my time in the league, and I survived, but it is very helpful, so I got it.
