This is basically why it was changed to the graduation bonus which is straight 10 and everyone gets it upon leaving. Otherwise people intentionally stay down because it was 20 free uncapped TPE to stay down again.

Mr. Retention over here. I get that it’s for charity but at the end of the day even for charity I have no intention of pushing our members away, that isn’t the point of this. As for the underwear…. I personally would t have used that one but Al liked the joke. From anyone but Jardy it would have been a hard no but you know how Jardy is, he know he’s not taking it too seriously. He also has assured it’ll be sanitized in advance and he’s definitely not doing it for any sexual reasons. Honestly I think you’re just reading into this way too hard.

All of the reward levels up to $2000 are exactly the same as last year and we added an 8 uncapped one and something people keep asking for, I’m not entirely sure how that’s an issue but if you don’t want extra TPE you can gladly not claim it if we hit that level.

Thought you’d get the dry comment but apparently not. Considering the meme mute auction last year led to one of our most active members leaving for an extended period of time it was decided this year that auction items like that wouldn’t be included. @Dil was a good spirit about it for sure and it raised a lot of money which is great but I’m not risking someone going inactive over a meme, it’s not worth it.

No we didn’t.

Pull out your wallets and make @Dil the happiest this Christmas everyone. I do not promise a quality stream by any stretch but if you can all manage it then I’ll make it happen. It’s a hefty goal but I believe in us as a community.

@Ricer13 was #4

I’ll see if I can make it work. For the sake of this vote though, you may claim 5 uncapped as the winner.

Maybe? We would have to put it on a rotator and I’m not sure what that would do resize wise. As it stands the poll is closed and you won by 2 votes so if you’d like to have both show then I’m fine doing that but otherwise you did win.

Basically just listened to the VHLE section as I was curious about that (appreciate the time stamps) - So the main issue I have with your “what if” is two-fold: first that third like minutes suck. Like 8 minutes a game is horrible and boring (I did it for two seasons with Lahtinen, you saw how that went) so throwing those players in there just to say they are in the VHL doesn’t make it a good experience for them, I would argue it’s a worse experience than being in the VHLE and getting to actually play. The second part you kinda touched on which is that having to actually check to make sure that all the “third line” players who are being used to bump the cap up are only being used on third and 4th lines over 16 different teams just sounds like a huge amount of unnecessary and unpleasant micromanaging. - You’re definitely right on goalies getting a big benefit from the VHLE, especially when it comes to ROTY. Of course maybe I would have had more of a chance if you didn’t fuck up lines in S79 . Back in the day it wasn’t as common to have to deal with the backup season since there weren’t as many goalies and you could come immediately into a starting spot but that doesn’t really happen much anymore. - Agee I wonder why indeed! If all you see is people talking shit about something then obviously you’re going to start believing it and therefore you’re going to make it shit. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. Back in the day everyone hated being in the VHLM and we set it up to fail so it tended to. Then we got a bunch of new people that didn’t know it supposedly sucked and they all loved it, now it’s doing a lot better. If you allow something to grow and succeed it can. If you give it less than a season before declaring “yup, this sucks” then it will suck. - The speedrun off season was bad and I should have realized how short I was making it when I was modifying the schedule. It was definitely an awkward day of the week for the season to end combined with drafts that happened quickly. On paper it seemed fine but in practice it obviously was way too rushed, even if people do want to complain about long off seasons.

I feel like it’s a balancing act to hit and obviously it’s adjustable. At the moment we designed it to be difficult intentionally but perhaps we pushed that too far, if so we can adjust it to be a bit easier. It’s a tough balance to strike though because obviously if you make it too easy then it becomes that everyone does it and we have solved 0 problems. It’s basically all just TPE though so it’s very adjustable.

Poll closes today and we are currently TIED so if you haven’t voted yet please vote.

We can’t allow people to bid on someone else doing their PT’s.

Totally strats, we all know goalies get worse above 650 TPE.

My string of mediocre games continues (my S% has dropped from .926 to .915 in my last 4 starts) but at least we got back in the win column.
