    Is 170 minutes and 4 seconds a good length for a hockey game?

    1. marlins gm doesnt know any of the players you listed
    2. marlins agm is not worried about marlins gm and in fact was recently given a pay rise by marlins gm
    3. you keep mentioning everyone going to the juan ceson zoo. the zoo is not in every single city in the world. this is very unreasonable.

    @rory this appears to be the record corroborated by @JardyB10 https://vhlforum.com/topic/29912-fun-facts/?do=findComment&comment=331139
     
    The link to the game itself seems to be dead even going through the index.
     
    Ironically, I may have misinformed Kit at one point that he had 7 goals in this game... which led to his fake news player name: https://vhlportal.com/players/playerfocus/5852
     
    So Anisimov @McLovin appears to have tied the record unless someone remembers more than 6 goals in a game between S43 and now.

    “Tfong” has not been a member of our league for years at this point. Yet to me and many others, “Baozi” is not a member of this league. For years, our head moderator was known in the league as Tfong, making the switch over to Baozi seemingly in late 2021. I have been in this league for nearly 5 years and have shared more time with Baozi then I have Tfong, yet I will always know the head moderator to be Tfong. 
     
    I believe this is the case for many older members, and a cause of confusion for the younger ones. This week is all about rebranding, and I think rebranding yourself is the hardest thing you can do.
     
    TXC is a name that I used in the VHL for a brief period of time. I coined it after less than a year of joining and its original intention was to draw away from Hogan. Hogan was meant to be my player and I didn’t exactly know what I was doing when I created my player. I did actually receive many people calling me TXC, but as you can see, I’m Hogan again. Hogan never left people's minds, many still referred to me as it and I think now if I was still TXC many still would call me Hogan. 
     
    In response to me telling Gorlab my name is no longer Hogan.
     
    Gorlab- “it is to me…and it always will be”
     
    N0h- “Calling you txc is just weird”
     
    As I learned from Gustav’s most recent 30 for 30. Instant Rockstar once tried to rebrand as “Goonie”. This was a few months before my time but it seems as if the Goonie name was shed very early, but late enough for him to get a VHLM GM job. 

    Diamond Ace- “@beketov just so you know, the new member was actually ir the whole time”
     
    I believe the VHL’s most notable rebrand was one done by Kachur. Many know the legend of Horcrux, and those there to experience it know that the legend lives up to the stories. For those who don’t know, Kachur was an old member who was banned and generally not heard from in a long time. On the other hand, Horcrux was a huge piece in the current landscape of the VHL and the moderation team .Horcrux presented themselves as a queer woman, which we now know to not be anywhere close to the truth. Horcrux was only in the league for 2 months, Oct-Dec 2021. 59 Days in the VHL with 323 posts equally out to about 5 and a half per day. This number does not include the discord which would bring our totals up immensely. Around the middle of Horcrux’s time in the league, there was a large change in the COC, while not directly caused by them I believe they had the second largest hand in that whole scenario. But not all things last, shortly after Horcrux was found to be Kachur and was rightfully banned. 
     
    I don’t want to bring up the specifics behind everything. Kachur was a horrible member who caused a lot of pain for numerous of our members and I do not wish to bring it all back up. 
     
    In the end, rebranding yourself in the VHL is something that is so incredibly hard to do. Once members know you as one name or character, it will stick. But with true dedication I am sure it’s possible. Or in the case of Horcrux, pure delusion.
