    If the skill is making friends and knowing how to manipulate the tpe outcomes to keep the little man down then yes i am not skilled. but if not that then i am the most skilled man you will ever meet. i have had 4 vhl players and 1 is actually very good. i have no kids, no wife, i am ready to committ my full future to the vhl. you dont want to even push me to use my skill

    mediocrepony reacted to Spartan in S88 VHL Super Coach   
    Hello! 
     
    The BoG and Commissioner team has approved a new fantasy game for S88 - one that was created by @Berocka well over a year ago. Many of us like to play DFS styled fantasy games for IRL sports, so the VHL is rolling out a new, seasonal, fantasy option.
     
    How it works:
    - Each team will compose of 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, and 1 goalie.
    - Every player has a cost. Remove the last 2 digits of their TPA, and that is their cost. For example, Nico Pearce is 1197 TPA - remove the last two digits and his cost will be $11. Vasile Lamb has 945 TPA, his cost will be $9.
    - Your total budget for your team is $42. You may go under budget, but you may not go over. 
    - Scoring works the same as VHFL. See VHFL scoring rules here in section 3.
     
    Payout:
    Like VHFL, this game will pay out at the conclusion of the S88 VHL regular season. However, the payout structure is different since you are not competing against just a group of 6 users, but rather everyone who participates in Super Coach.
     
    Position TPE 1st Place 6 Top 20% 5 Top 40% 4 Top 60% 3 Top 80% 2 Everyone Else 1  
    Special Rules:
    I hope to flesh out the official rules post here with Berocka's help, but for now, I will list a few notables below.
     
    1. In order to encourage unique teams, a user with a unique team will receive a 10 point bonus added on to their score. This is to prevent everyone copying the same person's team. I will also not be showing submitted teams until after Super Coach is closed.
     
    I thought there'd be a 2nd one but I don't think it'd quite make sense on a large scale. So TO BE DETERMINED. This is a first run on a large scale so there will likely be changes for future versions. Please let me know if you have any feedback.
     
    Deadline: After first VHL sims on Wednesday, April 5th

    mediocrepony reacted to Beketov in Forgive my Sentimentality   
    Hello everyone,
     
    Not gonna bother with a members tag on this, if you see it then great, you will be rewarded for that. If you don’t then…. Well why am I writing this because if you don’t see it how can you read this part?
     
    Anyway, today marks 5717 days (that’s 15 years, 7 months, and 26 days if you’re curious) since the VHL opened its doors. What a random number you might say, why does that matter? Well if I do the math, and I have, I was born 5717 days before the start of the VHL. Given that I joined on day one and have been here ever since that means today marks the official day that I have been in the VHL just as long as I was outside of it. Is that a stupid thing to celebrate? Probably but that won’t stop me; so please let me indulge in a bit of sentimentality for a moment.
     
    When the VHL started I had not yet completed high school, I had never had a girlfriend, hell I had never kissed a girl. I was a lonely nerd turning to the internet to find something to do; and I found it. The VHL was not my first sim league, wasn’t even the first one I joined ran by the people who ran it, but it was the first that felt different and felt like it had a good chance of surviving which so few at that point had done. I found a community here. I cannot honestly say that everything went perfectly or that my start in the VHL was without fault; I very nearly left for good within 2 months, but I stayed. I have now not only finished high school but university and going on 10 years working post-schooling. I have now not only had a steady relationship but a wife and two children, a life. All the while the VHL has been there, constantly evolving with the times sure but present. Over 5 years ago I took up the mantel of commissioner. I did it not because I thought I was necessarily the best person for the job but because I thought the league needed something, it was in trouble and I didn’t want to see it fail. I like to think that in these 5 years of growth I have at least stalled that failure.
     
    5717 days likely means nothing to any of you, just as that paragraph likely means nothing to any of you, but it means something to me. This league, this place, this community has been a standard in my life for longer than most anything else. I’m not going anywhere right now, that’s not what this is, but I did want to mark the occasion because this league does mean a lot to me.
     
    So if you’ve made it this far feel free to take 5 uncapped TPE for your troubles, on me. I’m not sure the insane total I’ve had over the years (probably over 10k by now) so 5 for everyone that I bored with this story should suffice as a thank you for being my weird extended internet family.

    I love the effect on the outside of the jersey in this! Both logo swaps are really well done, I can't see any places where you messed up with it. The background fits well with the render, and the text has a nice appearance although maybe could be spiced up a little as it looks a tad bland. That's really just a nitpick, as it definitely fits well with the rest of the graphic. 9/10, really nice job!

    Review: 
    First of all, I would like to say that your work appeals to me a lot. It is incredibly well-done graphic with nothing superfluous there. I am really excited about the background. It has warm and enjoyable colours as well as you font. More than that I love the style and how you placed caption. It is pretty extraordinary. Talking about logo swap, it was not a big problem and you made it looks nice and fresh. Overall, this player render impresses a lot and I suppose it as one of your best graphic ever. 9/10

    Like how simple yet effective this graphic is!  I love the setupand how you let the colours flow with the picture making it into a work of art. Your logos fit in relaly well and were formed down nicely with the player. I also love the helmet sticker addition. You also did a great job creating a theme for the player and sticking with it. Next time mabye use a different font the the cursive that way its easier to read and move the "Leandro" text over just a bit so its not inside of the visor! But overall this is a sick graphic!

    mediocrepony reacted to Beketov in 2022 Holiday Celebration   
    Hello all @Members!
     
    Another absolutely amazing charity drive has come and gone, our largest one yet! The total amount donated through the league was $2063.04 (CAD) to which the league will add an additional $1000 which means both SickKids and St.Jude’s will be receiving $1531.52! We’ll be making that donation shortly.
     
    But wait, I said this was our biggest donation drive ever didn’t I? Well that’s because the above does NOT count all the amazing direct contributions people made. Add those in and, even without the league’s $1000 matching, we raised a total of $3607.73!
     
    That means of course that we have some amazing rewards for everyone! All of our reward tiers were hit which means everyone can claim 20 uncapped TPE plus a PT doubles week! To claim just link to this post, you can claim all the 20 at once and the doubles week can be claimed with any PT made between now and the end of January 2023.
     

     
    Of course you can! Hitting all those tiers also means we get some bonus gifts from myself, @nurx, @Phil, and @DarkSpyro so get ready for some ridiculous streams and things in the new year. We’ll get the dates for their drops figured out and added to the events calendar soon.
     
    Speaking of adding things to the events calendar: I’ll be streaming the results of the 12 days raffle sometime in the coming weeks so I’ll let you all know when that’s gonna be.
     
    Thank you to everyone for once again making the VHL holiday season an amazing time and for your great donations to worthwhile causes. Go and enjoy your TPE and we’ll see you later today for sims!
     
    - @Commissioner
     
    Edit: It has been pointed out that math and I don’t get along well, I have corrected the post to 20 uncapped as it should have been rather than the 18 I originally said.

    mediocrepony reacted to Beketov in Christmas Sim Break   
    Hello @Members!
     
    First off, great job all with the charity auction and what has been raised thus fair with the donation drive! We’re going to be tallying everything up soon but I would wager we’ve done very well from what I’ve seen and it should be a large donation to some great causes yet again! Raffle entries wrap up tomorrow and I’ll be doing the draw for those prizes a little after Christmas most likely.
     
    Now to the matter at hand. Obviously myself and the other members of the @Simmer crew don’t take a lot of vacations or breaks. Daily sims are honestly one of the great things that sets the VHL apart.l, however we are still human and it is still Christmas, playoffs or not. For that reason I would like to point out that there will be no sims on the 25th or 26th so the simming team can spend some time with family instead of you all, as much as we love you. I hope you all can understand.
     
    So, sims will run tomorrow and Saturday but will only resume on Tuesday after that regardless of what stage the playoffs are at.
     
    Thank You,
    @Commissioner
