EFL +6

Post in this thread to claim welfare/pension for this week.  If you are claiming welfare/pension, you cannot claim any 6 TPE Point Tasks for this week (Media Spot/Graphic/Podcast) or League jobs paying 6+ TPE.   VHL Welfare Plan - Members with fewer than two 700+ TPE players may claim 4 TPE VHL Pension Plan - Members who have created two or more 700+ TPE players (past or present) may claim 5 TPE VHL Affiliate Plan - Members who post a Point Task this week, in either the EFL or SBA, may link to that Point Task to claim 6 TPE Once you reach 700 TPE with your current player, if that is your second player to reach 700, you are allowed to claim the pension plan. So instead of only taking in account previous players it also accounts for your current one.   Example:  Green has had Remy LeBeau (TPE: 1301) in the past. Thomas O'Malley, his second player, is now past 700 TPE, he is eligible for the VHL Pension Plan. Note: Welfare/Pension Plan are not eligible for Doubles Weeks. Affiliate Plan is only eligible for Donation Doubles.

don't you dare, we'll triple shift letang and adrienne then ?

There's some real cruelty towards Vegas lads this week

I think that this last point hits home here. If you look at the game log, Las Vegas is trending in the opposite direction than we were going before the TDL. Let's look at why. Before I inherited the team, LVA was basically running a 6-4-1 with multiple IA's taking up top 6 minutes. The 1st line was getting double shifted onto the 3rd line, and the 4th line was a random mess of barely active first-gens. To me, if this team shouldn't have had this many IA's or holes going into the TDL, it should have been brought up well before the recreate day. If a VHLM GM is clearly prioritizing competition over players to the extent that new members are being harmed, this should be a matter handled by the commissioners to gently remind a GM that their priority is to continue to pitch, assist and mentor new players. I attempted to combat that issue by offering on waivers at positions of need, which got my my current 2nd line center who I communicate with daily, and try to foster his interest and passion for the league. Due to the point in the season I joined the team, the TDL occurred shortly. Instead of continuing to play 200+ TPE forwards on multiple lines, I decided to pitch active players who are significantly lower TPE, but for two reasons. 1, they're active players and it was a moment for me to practice my pitches on players who are experienced in this league, and 2, a few of them are people I truly enjoy in the VHL. I had no idea that a group would choose to package themselves together, but my first wave can attest that I pitched them purely on the merits of the team and the LR, and told all that they would receive 3rd line or lower minutes. If LVA had picked up only 3 recreates, I could still have double shifted my 1st line and let recreates replace my barely earning "actives" on the 4th line, but instead, the entire bottom 9 got shaken up through signings and trades with other teams. If this is truly a problem, it should have been blocked by commissioners or admins, but absolutely no new member or recreate was harmed. Las Vegas is performing mediocrely, but the LR is having a great time, and that's what matters to me. I highly doubt that people can say that recreates truly make a team a contender when they're making up most of your bottom 6, when other teams are double shifting their 200+ TPE forwards. In addition, I strongly oppose the cap of recreates signing on a team, simply because it's one of the few times users can choose which team they'd like to go to, which allows them to play with friends for very brief periods of time. As I've proven above, some ~130 TPE players come playoff time won't make that much of a dent against contending teams who have drafted and retained players who are at 200+ TPE. There simply isn't that much of an impact recreates have on success to limit recreate signings and change the recreate deadline. On this point, I think the whole part of carry-over TPE is to reward users for committing to that extent with their players. Sure, first-gens have a disadvantage, but it's not that extreme. As a first-gen who joined right before the VHLM Dispersal Draft, I recognized that I didn't join at the optimal time, but with the right mentoring and support from fellow VHL members, I ended up being a first round pick, and I credit @McWolf and @Poptart greatly for that. Even McWolf is dominating in terms of earning in the S72 class, but that's because he puts in the effort to get to that level. Having the recreate advantage shouldn't be disheartening for a first-gen or new member, but rather an accomplishment or badge of honor that they should aim to work towards. However, I totally agree that a recruitment drive shouldn't happen at the same time, as that's totally counterproductive and disadvantageous to new members on the TDL itself. Plus we really need to make it clear that we're not a NHL20 sim league, because 95% of the new recruits simply don't get that. Anyways, that's my 2 cents, and thanks for coming to my Ted Talk ?. I should be able to claim this for a media spot lol.

You'd probably have to boost carryover TPE then to offset the 2-3 weeks lost after the TDL, and I'm guessing that isn't preferred.

+4

1. I don't dance. That is all. 2. I think it was 30 bucks on nuggs 3. Tbh I don't care, it's their life, I'll u follow them if I find it annoying. 4. People eat food in the mornings??? 5. @fishy because she's done it before and it doesn't hurt lol 6. 5 days and no, since I wasn't around people 7. Listen, I'm still holding out hope ok. 8. .....no

It was a move to try to engage the community and try something to be more involved in this league. We need to start letting new members fail forwards instead of attacking them for their mistakes. This isn’t a move for attention.

Alright folks, let's simmer down a bit. New member accidentally used a tag he wasn't supposed to use, he gets it now, cut him some slack.

same pls fix

Much, much, much better, well done Beav. Nice to see public response being considered, it's truly appreciated and valued.
