I also wanted to refer to Horcrux as she/her even though I knew it was Kachur. can't stop me.
 
l o l  horcrux cared more about being misgendered than i do
 
I think this says a lot about you, and don't undermine my statement
(p.s. i slowed the podcast down to 1x and your voice is much lower than I thought it was. also you talk slower than i thought)
 
lol @ the spartan part. the horcrux v spartan feud was hilarious from my viewpoint. she messaged me, unprompted, not even after an argument between the two of them, telling me that she was trying to get spartan banned. all i could do was laugh
 
fuck you. you know what for.
 
how ironic that she was on that website. sometimes people tell on themselves and you don't even know that they're doing it.
 
-------
 
i've laughed a lot about the fact that we got played like fiddles. i was asking mod team jokingly if we could ban horcrux after various situations where she was causing problems. i was close enough to the situation that i saw what she was doing in public spaces, dealt with the situations, and gained her trust (at least for a time, she probably added me to her shit list near the end where i stopped giving her the benefit of the doubt). the whole thing feels so maniacal that all i knew how to do was laugh. how else do you react to a spectacle like the horcrux personality?
 
since then, though, i've had some time to step back and really think about the impact that the character had and on how many people they impacted. I'm a naturally giving person, with time, information, energy, etc., and i got really lucky to have not been sucked in. when she first joined, she was messaging me non-stop, and we developed a relationship about the fact that we were both queer. that was cool for me even though her energy was, like, a lot, in a way that i didn't really vibe with. we established that initial connection so easily, and, like so many other people, i got the same stories of a deeply traumatic past and a view of someone who very clearly was unwell. i think, just because of my own past and experiences with people like the person we thought horcrux was, i got lucky that my little red flags flew up and started vigorously waving–not from a mod sense in that this person wasn't who they said they were, but a self-protective series of flags that told me to get the fuck out.
 
i don't want to say that i'm an empath because everyone i know who claims to be an empath is next-generation satan. i will say, though, that it hurts to know that people were suckered into this person's shtick. it's so easy to pull people–especially good-hearted people–into a facade to bait emotional sympathy and energy. i really hate knowing that a wide range of folks that i know to be really great humans were manipulated & taken advantage of by this person.
 
it also sucks, jardy, to hear you regret so much of the time and energy that you gave this person. you said multiple times that you felt like a dummy, like you got played, but i don't think it's fair for you to hold that against yourself. we as humans shouldn't expect ourselves or anyone else to constantly have protective shields up. I think it's an admirable quality to feel confident and comfortable enough to navigate life without being on high-alert all the time. it says that you're not cynical or closed off. i understand that you feel responsible for "falling for it" or "not being watchful or perceptive enough" or "not seeing the signs," but it's really not fair to you for you to hold yourself responsible for other people's actions. horcrux did you wrong, and regardless of who that person actually is, their actions can't be undone. they did what they did, and for what reason, we'll never know.
 
i want to have sympathy for horcrux/kachur. i think i said this on the podcast i did with sam–i hope they get the help they need, because i really do think that there's something, even if not what they told everyone, that this person needs to think about and work through. a happy and healthy person doesn't do the thing that horcrux did, creating a persona and extracting information and energy and time from people. at the end of the day, you did what you thought was right, and i commend you for that. i hope that they understood the value of the friendship you gave them.

@Members Yes, you read that right, Trivia!
 
@Squidward0 has put his talents to use and has written trivia onto the portal; don’t go looking mind you, it’s not live just yet. This will allow users to not only to claim trivia immediately upon getting the answers correct (straight on the portal) but also alleviate a lot of the trivia head issues (we’ll still have someone running it, to be hired) AND allow the questions to be randomized from a pool per user so no more sharing 1 person’s answers across the whole league.
 
That last point does bring up an issue though: We need questions! @Victor had a bit of a stockpile of unused questions but we need more. By our estimate the question pool will need to grow by at least 20 questions per season to stay large enough so we need your help. We’ll get a more formal process going once the portal trivia is set up and running (hopefully for next season) but for now we just need things quickly so here’s how this is going to go down:
 
Everyone who wishes to submit a question (or questions) can do so by PMing me the question as well as 4 multiple choice answers (noting the correct one). You can do this for up to 3 questions. Questions should be as usable as possible for many seasons so please try to avoid using things that are too seasonally specific (For example who was last season’s HoF class).
 
We will take as many of these as are valid (ideally all of them) and put them into the question pool. When they all go in I’ll make a claim list with how many questions were used from everyone and for every question you submit that goes to the pool (again, max of 3 please) you will be given 1 uncapped TPE. I will lock this thread once we have put the questions in and are no longer accepting submissions in this manner.
 
Please make sure questions are sent only via forum PM and make sure the subject line reads “Portal Trivia Submission”

Hello all, I will not be recreating at this time. Big thanks to the many people who played a big part in this being my best VHL run and my favorite run I've had in any sim league. It was really cool to come back right before membership exploded and see where that took the league over the past few years 
 
I'll see yall whenever I actually get around to getting this tattoo

Do I get to collect TPE for this podcast since i was essentially 75% of it?

This beast is like 2 hours long!

Why does it sound like a game of Jack box is about to start

join us next week on bite size berocka with: how to use the goddamn search function

@samx you do know that you can search by author. So if you know who wrote an article it will reduce the results when you search.
 
Rest of podcast review coming soon

Hi, you don't get to know who the guest is but there is one. Honestly no idea what was talked about in this podcast but enjoy.
 
 
 
I forget most people mentioned but i know a few for sure so they will be tagged:
 @Spartan@Baozi( i know you wont listen but you were talked about alot lol) @fishy @JardyB10

@fishy, do you have an alt? fishisfishy seems kinda similar to fishy 👀
this was also a great way to deflect attention form yourself but i caught on

who are you

https://anchor.fm/fishy3/episodes/a-huge-fucking-win-e1cfs1l
 
beware your ears. the sound is all over the place and could eliminate your hearing
 
realizing that as i become steadily, increasingly unhinged that i swear a lot
 
count how many times i say "like"

And if we go to a hybrid approach and make it harder to hit 99 SC as a part of it, then I bet goalies will have a much better time anyways.

Goalies have more attributes to update than skaters, so they end up needing to spend more TPE to be full build.
 
As the league has grown, this has led to scoring rising because goalie builds just can't keep up with the amount of full build skaters flying around.

Ultimately it would be a lot of work to keep it secret, impossible to keep it from everyone, and the proper attributes showing up on the index means that people would probably reverse engineer it within a week anyway. Seems like a lot of extra work and secrecy for very little gain.

Disclosing would he 100% essential IMO, it gives too much of an advantage to BOG members in the know otherwise.

Round 3!

i appreciated the fumbling correction and aggressive "they. they. THEY" punching yourself, it was endearing

Honestly the biggest surprise here is that STHS has a slider that does something.
