As has been the case with a couple others missing picks yesterday/today, it's the holidays and folks are with family. He'll have until tomorrow morning to make his picks otherwise I'll DQ him myself. Please continue the draft and I'll check in tomorrow morning.

I've been made aware that people are busy with family during the holiday season so I'll give @GreenGatountil tomorrow to make his final pick or risk being DQ'D. Tag me when you make the pick Green, and I'll update the roster for you, Bek.

can I get an updated roster please, on mobile rn and on the go

Y'know, I actually looked to see timestamps specifically. When I first looked at this, I thought you had missed a pick before yesterday, and the ping yesterday at 11 am was to remind you to make up the pick. I see now that you were tagged to make your final pick at 11 AM, which would have expired at 11 PM, and then 6 hours after that would have been 5 AM. I'm going to give you 100% payout because I understand you were traveling quite a lot, therefore making the pick by 5 AM in accordance with the rules was unrealistic. Also, you only had 1 skip and as explained, were mostly impacted by others delaying their picks. Although you weren't really given the penalty until 5 today, I'll be nice because its Thanksgiving. I was grumpy in DM's with you because you pulled me away from playing Mario Kart with my cousins . Though as I explained, and for transparency, the reason you were initially given the 50% payout was due to the rule stating that people with 1 skip had until 6 hours after the final non-makeup pick in the group to finish their roster. This was to prevent someone with 1 skip from delaying as long as possible into the season to make a well-informed pick that their peers did not have the advantage of. Following that reasoning, @Vice you will be keeping Lemiuex as the selection since another set of sims just occurred, and allowing you to use 2 sets of sims to make a selection would not be fair to the others in the group. Hope this is fine with you. Happy Thanksgiving

Hi! Didn't make a hiring thread or public announcement about it, but with @BrutalBoost getting a promotion to Sasky GM, Moscow's AGM spot was left vacant. Fortunately, we were able to hire a fantastic replacement in @STZ, who will bring many, many seasons of VHL experience to our management team! Congrats Steez, glad to have you . Moving on to our captain announcement, we unfortunately lost @IHateBobNutting, keeping the Moscow captain curse going. He really was a fantastic captain, and I will really miss him around. However, we're lucky to have plenty of fantastic members on this team who show leadership potential on the team. First Alternate - The Seabasstard - @Seabass Seabasstard returns to the first alternate role, one that he held last season as well. He took huge steps forward, and his appointment to the leadership team reaped immediate rewards, as Moscow made it to the Finals last season. We'll be counting on the veteran leadership from Seabasstard to make another deep run this season! Second Alternate - Hard Markinson - @STZ Markinson, draftmate of The Seabasstard, joins the Moscow captain team for the first time. One of the leaders on the back end, he will be tasked with mentoring the young defensemen of the team such as Arvid Johansson and rookie Zdeno Chara. Under his leadership, along with the pure skill of Aurelian Moreau, expect the Moscow defense core to take major steps forward moving forward! Captain - Duncan Idaho - @OrbitingDeath The clear cut leader of this team with stoic poise, Idaho leads the team with few words, but plenty of actions on the ice. OD is the top earner on the team as well, and serves as a role model to everyone else. Co-MVP of the S80 season and certainly Moscow's Team MVP, I'm very pleased to name the anchor of our franchise as the captain! I'll do my best not to trade you.
