Don't think anyone is necessarily against the fact that there was a punishment, I'm just more confused how making 6 multis has the same punishment as updating a couple players for a month. Maybe the mods can see or determine at what point AJ started updating for the other accounts, but I'd think that if it was more recent as he claims, it isn't *as bad* as what Alexandre did. The family members are free to use their players once their ban ends but the Alexandre multis are getting yeeted from the league. Much more of a wide ranging impact to the community than AJ's recently turned IA family members getting a tpe ban. If they're IA, most of them will still be useful players for some E teams, but their teams still keep those players. Add on top that AJ is temporarily suspended from his GM job and at risk of losing his job completely while Alexandre has been kept on as AGM and has the avenue to redemption as stated by mods. It seems a bit hypocritical. Yes, AGM's have no pay and aren't a league appointed job, but to a team, they are the #2 in command, have portal powers, and exert a similar level of influence as the GM on the players on the team. It just seems like AJ was slapped harder for a less severe infraction, which is what some folks disagree with. Not advocating for AJ to not get punished.

Regardless of whether you choose to max earn again or not, I enjoyed the couple of seasons of casually/informally competing against you for most TPE in our draft class . Do what you gotta do to make sure the league doesn't become a chore, hope you don't fade away. Send music recs pls and ty.

This is actually a pretty interesting point that I called out from a different perspective - moreso the timing of recruitment and how it puts strain on our existing structure. As M GM's, we'd complain when there'd be a recruitment push that was between the end of the regular season and the M draft. I don't think it's been as large an issue recently, but I feel like there was a recruitment event a couple seasons ago that brought in players when playoffs were starting up. The issue we had this past season was that we had another large and successful recruitment ad on youtube right as we decided to contract the VHLM. It didn't make sense to me that we were going to try and get an influx of new players right after contracting the M, especially on a large channel. I don't know if I'd say that the goal is to keep the league size constant, sustainable growth is good for the league. I just think that maybe we need to be coordinating recruitment and league structure changes together instead of as two separate entities. As long as we aren't running the recruitment well dry, and we have the capacity to make room for everyone (which we have in the form of 3 leagues), I have no issue with growing the league size. As always though, we can't kneejerk react with EXPANSION every time we have a surge of new members, hence the need for more intentional and cautious recruiting.

It'd serve the same purpose for me, but more work for you. I'm fine with either.

yes

I'd be fine with one massive, total payout thread for the week, but I'd imagine that's more work for Lose to be compiling them all into totals by user. We have VHL/VHLM Fantasy Zone as claim types in the portal already, they're just hidden from users when claiming. Bringing them back and renaming the plain "Fantasy Zone" to "VHLE Fantasy Zone" would also just solve the problem with less effort needed from Lose's end, and users would still be claiming each league individually anyways. Edit: I think each league pays out at different times each week as well, depends when the games/criteria in the fantasy zone for the week get completed.

Basically when updating these claims en masse, it'd be easier to have them broken up by league, as there are up to three different links used. Think of trivia updating. We can keep the payout thread open, and ctrl+f everyone through the list, because it's all in one thread. Now fantasy zone updating. We can't differentiate the three league claims from each other in the queue unless we open the link. Which means we have to open each link every time to see which of the three payout threads we need to use. If we could sort the claims by the league, then we could open the VHL Fantasy Zone post, approve all of them in one go. Then VHLE, then VHLM, instead of having to keep opening every link to see which league it belongs in.

wow thanks!!!!!!!

Currently, VHL/VHLE/VHLM Fantasy Zone claims all get claimed under the "Fantasy Zone" claim type. This makes it difficult for updaters to bulk update claims for each of the three individual fantasy zones, as each league's payout links are scattered across the same claim type. I believe that this occurred when fantasy zone opened up to people regardless of the league they were in. Ex. allowing VHL players to participate in VHLM fantasy zone. However, the links in each claim vary, which causes the aforementioned issue. Please bring back the specialized claim types to make updating a bit easier. @Beketov (tagged per @Josh request since you asked for the change to the current system)

All I wanted for christmas was a Bek ZT2 stream

As of yesterday's one game sim against Toronto, two players have hit the 100 point mark this season for Moscow - Duncan Idaho, and The Seabasstard. Idaho has just tied his previous single-season high for point totals at 110 (52-58-110) with 15 games left in the season. This is the first 100 point season that Seabass has ever had, and it has also shattered his previous single-season high of 85 points. At just 103 (37-66-103) points, there's a possibility for The Seabasstard to hit 120+ points on the season at this pace. Coming along down the road are Aurelien Moreau (14-82-96), Paul Atreides (41-49-90), Hard Markinson (22-65-87) and Lexi Glass (33-47-80). With 15 games left in the season, one could realistically expect that the former three would easily hit the 100 point mark, but it's pleasant to see a more depth scoring player in Glass also have the plateau in sight. It's a testament to the offensive prowess the team has developed, and one that has helped to jumpstart the Menace out of their rebuilding years of S77-S79. Interestingly enough, the top 5 point scorers listed above all have one thing in common - top 5 draft picks were spent on them by Moscow in some fashion or the other: S77 - 1oa - Paul Atreides S77 - 3oa - Duncan Idaho S78 - 2oa - Hard Markinson S78 - 3oa - The Seabasstard S79 - 4oa - Traded to Toronto for Aurelien Moreau Add in S80 1oa pick Papa Emeritus in net, and it's looking like a successful rebuild on paper that has started to pay dividends. With a finals appearance last season in the first "competitive" season with this core, the future is looking bright! Tags: @OrbitingDeath , @Seabass, @Frank, @Mr_Hatter, @STZ, @AW13, @Beketov

Moscow Menace Press Conference Week of December 20th - 26th Claim six answers for 2 TPE 1. We're holding a 4 point lead on first place in the EU conference, but Malmo is in second place with a game in hand. Will we maintain our standing? What do we have to do in order to maintain it? 2. Along the same lines, we held first place in the league for most of the season, but have been passed recently by Vancouver who are 4 points ahead with 2 games in hand. Can we retake first place? What needs to change to make it happen? 3. We currently have two players, Duncan Idaho and The Seabasstard, who have crossed the 100 point threshold on the season. What makes them so successful? 4. There are a few more folks in the 80-96 point range on the team. Moreau at 96, Atreides with 90, Markinson at 87, Glass at 80. How many of them do you think will hit 100 points on the season? 5. Papa Emeritus is yet to record a shutout this season. What's causing him to keep missing out on that elusive stat? How can we get him his first CAREER (wow) shutout? 6. We recently tweaked the lines to experiment with what our team can do. How do you feel about the line changes? Who would you like to be on a line/pairing with on the team?

Moscow would like to sign you to a future's deal, completely exclusive to us and we will own your soul. No need to accept, I'll just forge your signature!

Are you claiming it as a vhl.com graphic? That's the category you need to be using for 2 TPE.

good work, make sure to claim it though

Hi, just noticed this now, but please keep in mind for the future that reviews can only be claimed when done for full PT's - 6 TPE Media Spots, Graphics, or Podcasts. In the future, reviews done on VHL.com tasks will be denied.

wait can we add in a late $50 so we get the zoo tycoon stream?
