Celise Pereira is 338 TPE, so I guess I should claim the 100 and 250 TPE milestones for 5 TPE https://vhlportal.com/players/playerfocus/5839

I'm not creative, but HSK you can pretend I just posted some custom "you just got Moscow'd" gif here with all the bells and whistles

Be worse smh, I want a better pick

What Eno said + stuff like that only really comes up once others in the community (such as yourself) notice that sort of minutiae. We don't put every Media Spot or VHL.com article into Turnitin or whatever. We don't know every piece of content on the forums to be able to identify plagiarism immediately. And yeah when I bumped it to mods, it was confirmed that head of PT doesn't issue bans or punishment of the sort. So really all it is, is the final person who handles flagged updates. Which a few updaters have been doing for months/years already when flagged updates are left in the queue for days on end. BoG makes changes to PTs and their guidelines anyways.

I'd quit updating to slide into this role, so fuck it. Apply

1. I think I listened to it. I also just released another one yesterday with Twists and Doomsday! Check it out. 2. Well we have a single win now. Pretty on track with the Sharks in the NHL. But I agree, losing sucks and I would like to win more games for sure. But I'm also very happy to continue working on our young players' development on a weekly basis, facilitate their improvement and enter next season and beyond with a fantastic young core. 3. I will say that this is one of the few times in my GM'ing career where I've been this experimental with lines, and at this frequency. When you have a competitive team that performs well, there's rarely line changes to be made. Now when we're having a losing/tanking season, it's a great time to mess around knowing that there's no expectations to be winning games. 4. I enjoy collecting pens and quarters. The quarters is pretty neat, I have the entire 50 US states collection and they released more limited edition coins for parks and locations over the years. And pens are just nice to get since I like pens that feel great to write with. Just makes an annoying task a little better if the pen feels great in my hand and on paper. 5. Leadership tbh. Take the burden off my back. 6. I'd probably try to be a bit more patient with another player. I feel like I've always been very high on all my players and it leads to a lot of disappointment. Maybe not having such high expectations and rushing to load up on TPE would give me a better overall experience. Bonus: I don't review graphics but I usually chat with members who get their graphics denied for low effort. I'm not a big graphics guy, I'm not talented in that area. But I can usually offer some small tips or areas to focus on to try and make a graphic look a little nice. So reviews are off the table since I can't muster up 75 words to tell a graphics maker how I'd do it better.

I did a Spartcast and had @Doomsday and @twists on! We talked about Doomsday's history in the VHL and in sim leagues, older times in the VHL (the S70's), recruitment woes and successes, and much more! Doom and Twists claiming for 3 weeks each

I have been informed that there has been some outreach regarding a recruitment drive. So hopefully it comes to fruition this season!

I'll DM you on discord

Updated OP for S91

Yes, I'll delete the old entry once I see your new one

I also happen to be REALLY nice and productive this season and did some cost checks for folks who had already submitted. @Ahma - 43 @Motzaburger - 56 (There's a link in the form description that shows you player costs. And a fun little tool that helps you put together a roster based on costs. Keep it under $42) @npuBeT - 44 @dstevensonjr - 43 If you guys need clarification, shoot me a DM on Discord or Forums and I can give you the cost breakdowns and how you went over.

Bumping thread to remind all that this will close tomorrow with predictions

Is plagiarism a mods tag or a blues tag, honestly don't know

Can you fix the formatting so it matches the roster template posted above, and also fix the tags to be the forum tags please?

@Gaming Ringleader

Tag me when roster is fully updated

Actually a good idea for those who always stretch the limit and go over. Thanks!

Next pick after 12 hours will be a 50% penalty.

1. I hope so, I play here (and GM here). But I think it's a very young team that should grow into its talent very soon. It reminds me of the NJ Devils of the past few seasons, going from a very young team that needs to get their skates under them to one of the league's premier powerhouses within a few seasons. 2. I don't have issues being loyal as long as team circumstances remain favorable. I've been pretty open with that on every player I've had and I even lay out specifics to teams if needed. Here in Moscow, I'll be the starting goaltender for a contender for a while so I'm happy to stick around. 3. I've never missed out on components within items, but I've definitely had things forgotten if I order delivery. Makes me sad when my drink gets forgotten. 4. I haven't met any hockey players, but I've met Ike Taylor, Antonio Brown and Cortez Allen from the Steelers before. 5. Well....as a goalie, I'd like to be a good one . Not much play style for us here in the VHL, the style is "puck stopper." 6. I hope so

0-5 and I'm not IA, what is this

Approved

Recruitment is one of those positions where I feel like historically, it's been a bit of a renegade group that does its own thing depending on who all is on the team. There have been some points in history where there's strong centralized leadership (Beaviss) but for recent history, there's been no clarity in leadership and just crowdsourced efforts. Which is great for collaboration purposes but as you note, difficult to have a well-organized and documented process. Part of why I hoped YouTube would kick up again is that @Moon does have experience in that area from his prior stint in recruitment, so I don't know if it's apt to say that the burden falls on the new recruiters. I know Moon and Brandon were part of prior efforts, with Brandon's experience in YouTube as a medium providing good advice. And in terms of purchasing, I don't have all access to the recruitment server, but even when Subject was trying some instagram advertising, I'm pretty sure I just saw a tag for the Blues in there with a request for permission and there was some discussion before it went live. So I don't think there's that much complexity behind getting funding approved when at least two Blues were responsive during the last effort. I don't think it's "all" that's needed to keep the league afloat, maybe my wording was too specific for what I meant. Mubbles actually posted an interesting thread about where players over 400 TPE came from, and it showed YouTube as the #2 source for those players. So while there's always bulk creation and a small % that stick around, it's still an influx of bodies coming in which I think we sorely need. I don't mind your idea of it being an every 2-3 season effort, I know the SHL used to call them "Reddit seasons" when draft classes would get boosted by recruitment drives on Reddit before the crackdown. That'd be good for preventing league overloads. I don't know if you need to totally drop social media, but I'd probably advise some sort of analysis as to how the socials have grown over "X" period of time or since they started being focused on, and how the metrics have improved. From Mubbles' post, there's just 6 people who have joined from social media and crossed 400 TPE (inclusive of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok). And at the end of the day, this isn't the league stance, just my own. I'm not giving out any instructions here. Mubbles' post for reference: Hopefully this strong leadership can be provided by @Moon! I think he can do a good job, just needs to have that active voice internally that you're asking for. Recruitment also isn't brought up at all in the BoG, I don't think there have been any threads recently about it. But if you want some general advice, it'd be to evaluate the social media metrics I mentioned above about growth, interactions and members brought in and see if it's something worth investing all of Recruitment's time in. I don't mind it being Recruitment's weekly task if there's also the YouTube/Reddit drives also occurring every so often for some safer/more proven recruitment efforts. Because at the end of the day, the recruitment team should be measured by the number of people brought in. If that number isn't very high, then I think the approach or strategy should be re-evaluated and refocused to try something new. Appreciate your reply, glad to have some chats about it . And love the work you guys do for social media, the graphics and efforts are really cool and much appreciated. Just wish more people saw those and credited them for joining the league.
