New challenge: Rookies from the Rockies. enjoy.

Hello @Members! We didn’t forget to put this on the calendar, nope, not at all! Theme week time! Of course, that also means that the Trade Deadline is Monday, September 2nd at 3pm EDT. This also means that anyone wishing to re-create for the S97 draft can do so starting at midnight that same day. --- That’s all you’re here for right? Alright I’ll be in my way. …….. Why are you still here? Oh right! Theme week, that annoyance of blues. Well the theme for S95 is: Let’s shine a spotlight on the new people shall we! Be they players in their first season, aka the actual use of the term, or be they members in their first season within the VHL community; it matters not. As long as it can be justified that the person in question is a rookie in some way you’re good to go! To earn your Theme Week TPE, write an article, create a graphic, or record a podcast with some connection to “Rookies”. --- 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 S96 or older may claim the theme week bonus. @VHL GM @VHLE GM @VHLM GM

So I can expect the MS about me any day now?

It did. In his case it was purely for the sake of build diversity and was also broken to the point that I proved I could have Thompson's exact same build with about 3/4 of the TPE but it was originally his; I simply refined it. TBH I tend to agree with you that simple solutions are good solutions. I just disagree that simple solutions are always the best solutions. You were, and are, correct that hybrid attributes are just limits with more steps but sadly it comes down to the O word I hate so much. People don't like being outright told "you are limited to x" even if it's for the best of the league. The hybrids introduced those caps without having ti be a "no, you can't do that" which is why I liked them in the first place. And this is why I tend to appreciate debating you; while you hold strong opinions you are also willing to admit when things you didn't like still work out.

Welcome to the VHL, minman! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

Just to be clear because I’m hoping I’m reading this wrong… you aren’t saying that a user transitioning into identifying as a woman is a declining mental state are you? It reads as trolling to me but the FACT that’s questionable is worrisome if people take it as serious when it’s not. Or maybe it is and I’m reading it wrong. In either case the league has always strived for equality and while we obviously can’t control every interaction…. No, I would certainly hope not.

@Gaikoku-hito You have 6 hours left on the clock. As that will be 2am for me consider this your warning.

Outshooting everyone, losing every game. Simon really does love trolling us to start the season doesn’t he?

This is pretty much how I feel. I would be interested but timing could be tricky.

Done. I'm on vacation so I haven't been around much to be updating it.

When I saw the banner request for the same player with two teams I was wondering who was gonna get it in first, this was a clever method.

@MexicanCow123 You are over 12 hours but given that the tag was late (that's on me tbh, I didn't notice it wasn't done) I'll give you another couple of hours before you get skipped.

INDEX @VHLE GM You know the drill by now, GM's are required to submit lines using the Team Management section of the portal. If you have manual requests due to roster changes please PM me your notes. Either discord or forum PM is fine. I have made sure your lines can all be made for this first set (IE no bots missing to make rosters incomplete) but please look over your rosters carefully to make sure everyone is present that should be, no one is present that shouldn't be, and everyone's position is correct. If you see any issues please notify me ASAP so it can be corrected for the first sim on Thursday. As has been the case for awhile now all sims will be done live. I cannot promise you a specific time for these (though around 6:45pm EST is most likely) and, likewise, I can't promise you they will be very entertaining; in fact I can almost guarantee that they won't be. However in an effort to be more transparent with our simming you will all be able to watch me click buttons in all it's glory. I will do my best to put a message on discord whenever I go live but may forget some days. If you wish to be notified please make sure to check out the #roles channel for information on how. In any case the live sims will always be in the same place which is embedded below: Good luck to everyone this season and let's have another good one!
