Well look at that, a couple of games where we actually remembered we can score!

Man Simon really decided to just fucking kneecap is in the second half of the season didn’t he? @Josh I’m never doing backup sims for you again, I cursed myself somehow.

I was hired September of 2017 so however that relates to you.

Can't say I did. Did you have "Bek is still blue" on yours?

The VOD is up on twitch for anyone that missed it and wants to see it in full with the chat and everything. I think they only keep them for a month or so though so it’s also uploading to the league YouTube. I’ll get a link when the processing finishes. Edit: Youtube VOD is finished. I still suggest the twitch one while it's up but if you prefer YT:

@Members We're live! Everyone come hang out! Also blame @samx for the idea of the members tag

So I hate to do this so last minute but due to a number of unforeseen circumstances (worked later, high winds and thunderstorms freaking Luna out, etc) I’m gonna have to postpone Zoo Tycoon night until tomorrow when things should hopefully have calmed down enough that it’s less likely my power goes out or my dog loses her mind the entire time. Start time should still be the same if everything goes to plan, just one day pushed.

I do try to convert people 1 at a time. I did not come up with the name but I will certainly defend it haha

You are Green and shall forever remain Green. I must solidify my claim of having the most successful rebranding.

@Tetricide can’t be bothered to google “Halifax” and “21” confirmed. The name continues to be divisive purely because people don’t want to understand how perfect it is for the VHLM. FWIW as well there was a period where it was the basic thought that VHLM cities should be the smaller cities and save the larger ones like Montreal for the VHL. We kinda got away from that mentality when we moved all the M teams to NA but we were also rapidly expanding at the time so figured “eh, we’ll get some teams in the big cities later” and then kinda just didn’t. It’s also why Boston and Detroit have long been ignored. It wasn’t really intentional, it just kinda happened.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a wild fox in NS but I can confirm that they definitely are here, you can hear the little buggers all the time.

14 game win streak and now we can’t buy a fucking win.

Fun fact: I had that post scheduled since last night so it was already written several hours before this.

Hello @Members! Man the two months between these seem to fly by every time don’t they? Or is that just for the blues since we have to come up with ideas. It is, however, that time of the season again, theme week! Everyone’s favourite week (aside from the blues) since you all get that sweet extra TPE. Of course, that also means that the Trade Deadline is Monday, April 15th at 3pm EDT. This also means that anyone wishing to re-create for the S95 draft can do so starting at midnight that same day. --- Trade deadlines are boring though, you wanna know about theme week don’t you? The theme for S93 is: It’s your lucky day @Frank! Have a team whose location is bugging you? Or maybe you just really hate the team name or logo? If everything bent to your whim what would you do with the branding of a team, or hell multiple teams, whatever you’d like? What would the league look like? To earn your Theme Week TPE, write an article, create a graphic, or record a podcast with some connection to “Rebrand”. --- In order to claim the theme week bonus of 6 Uncapped TPE, simply submit your Themed PT (Graphic, Media Spot, or 6-TPE Podcast), and claim it as normal. After claiming the PT portion, you can use the same link, and claim the uncapped portion as follows: Claim Uncapped > Other > Doubles Week. (Note: you do not need to post your link in this thread to claim either portion of TPE). If you have already submitted a Point Task for this week, or are in the midst of claiming a multi-week Media Spot/Podcast, you may still submit a Theme Week PT this week, and claim the capped portion on the next available week, following your multi-week claim. Also, if you have a single job that pays 6+, you may claim the theme week bonus as long as you complete your duties for the week. If you are in the SBA and have completed their most recent Media Week, you may use that to claim the Uncapped theme week bonus, but a PT must be completed this week in order to claim the Capped portion, whether that is completed here or through Affiliate Welfare. Note: Only players who are S94 or older may claim the theme week bonus. @VHL GM @VHLE GM @VHLM GM

As I work in film this has been a hot topic for the last couple of years with opinions ranging from “we’re all fucked, it’s gonna replace us all” to “it’s fucking dumb and doesn’t stand a chance in creative fields.” On the whole I fall in the middle, I think it’s a useful tool in some circumstances but people need to not trust it too much. Ultimately it is easily mistaken and fooled because it’s pulling from incomplete information. As for specifics, I think stuff like coding can benefit from it greatly because it’s the kind of thing it understands well and you can save hours of debugging. As for what it should stay out of: almost anything creative. It’s a machine, it lacks creativity. All it can do is effectively copy and steal from others and badly mimic it. Useful as a planning tool for something maybe but not as an end product. I had the above all written already when @Kisslinger took those questions so I’m gonna just leave it and answer his haha Well I first started in S1 when no one knew anything about any of the teams and also, I’ll be honest, most of the logos were fucking terrible ripoffs. With that said Amstel had the first pick so I was quite pleased to be taken with it haha. I mean wrestling seems the obvious choice, IYKYK I would say… and if you don’t well google my player’s name. Probably teleportation. It’s not one of the more obvious ones but man, it would be such a time saver wouldn’t it? ————— 1. If you could pick one food item to be banished from existence and you’d never have to risk tasting it again what would you choose? 2. How do you think the league is going to celebrate its centennial season? 3. If you had to choose a player, both real or VHL and from any era, to emulate who would you choose?

Another week without simming (well aside from that one day and I'm not gonna claim for that) means another week of needing to earn how the peasants regular members earn so time to spit out a bunch of random words and hope they make a coherent sentence: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you! Like the post if you got that reference ANYWAY if you haven't seen I have finally set a date for the zoo tycoon 2 stream. I've been avoiding doing it while the kids are around because their rooms are right above where my computer is now and they'd be in bed so I don't want to wake them up. Just so happens that I've been mostly the one travelling lately, not my wife and kids, so that timing hasn't come up. The wife is taking the kids up the Ottawa next week though so time for VHL members to become zoo animals again! Hopefully I can remember how to play again haha. Kinda a rough week for Calaway and the Dragons. We have fallen out of first place in the league and I've dropped out of first in the assist and D scoring. We had to get our backup games in and oddly decided to do them when we had a lot of tough games so we'll see how it goes, hopefully things turn around. Still a great season all around, just a bit more of a dip than I would like. Trivia was a bit trickier this week but I still got both answers right so clearly people continue to just complain for no reason: I continue to prove this as fact.
