  1. Welcome to the VHL, Xang! 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, you will be placed in a pool of players eligible for the next draft. You may also choose a VHLM team to play for this season if the season is ongoing. While you wait to get your first games in 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!
  2. I don’t recall when it was to be fair; you might have weaselled out simply on account of me not simming the M that season.

  4. In b4 next season’s theme week we go meta and make the theme simply “theme”. Coming up with these is a pain, especially when we forget to add it to the calendar and have to scramble at the last minute.
  5. I just went through and made all the S95 ones inactive since the 8th round was still set to active for some reason. In theory that shouldn’t break anything, if it does then it’s easy to undo at least.
  6. @Spartan just saved your jobs so you should be happy. I have a longstanding threat out to the M GM’s that the next set of GMs to swap 8th round picks (or similar) is getting fired.
  7. I'll be recreating Monday and think a classic feeding frenzy from the @VHLM GM's would be funny, just saying. I'll obviously still pick on the portal, I just think it would be fun to have the old pitches a bit.

      I don’t even know where to start with Beketov. This guy has got to be the most insufferable personality on the entire Victory Hockey League forums. He logs in every single day, acting like he’s some gift to the league, as if he’s been handpicked by the hockey gods to grace us with his genius. But let me tell you something, nobody is as obsessed with Beketov as Beketov himself. It’s almost like he thinks the league would fall apart if he didn’t log in daily to give us an update on his latest “legendary” player. And the worst part? He genuinely believes that every time he types something, it’s groundbreaking. His ego could power the entire VHL for a season—and we’re all just supposed to fall in line and thank him for his “service” to the league.

       

      Every time he hops on the forums, it’s like he’s rolling out the red carpet for himself. I swear, he must think we’re all sitting here, eagerly refreshing the page, waiting for his pearls of wisdom to drop. Newsflash, Beketov: we’re not. Most of us are here because we actually care about the league, about playing the game, and about supporting each other—not about inflating your ego with every post. But that’s the thing about Beketov; he can’t even see past his own reflection. This guy could be drowning in his own self-importance, and he’d still look around for applause.

       

      It’s not just that he’s old school; it’s that he’s convinced his time in the league makes him untouchable. He has this almost pathological need to remind us how long he’s been here, like that automatically makes him better than everyone else. It’s like he’s got this delusional fantasy where he’s the wise sage of the VHL, here to guide us all through the path of enlightenment. And while we’re on the topic of his “experience,” let’s be real—if we had to take a drink every time he brought it up, we’d all be unconscious by noon. We get it, Beketov: you’ve been around. Congratulations. But that doesn’t make you some immortal VHL god we’re all required to worship. Half of us have been grinding here too, but you don’t see us turning every update into a self-congratulatory pat on the back.

       

      And then there’s his latest player—oh, my God, this guy acts like he’s reinventing the entire sport with every new character he creates. It’s not enough for him to just roll out a new player and keep it moving. No, he has to make a spectacle of it. He’ll go on these long rants about how this player is going to “shake things up” and “bring something fresh to the league,” as if he’s delivering us a gift from on high. It’s like he’s living in his own movie where he’s both the hero and the director, setting the stage for his triumphant arrival while the rest of us are just extras. Every time he starts hyping up his new character, it’s the same tired story. But he acts like we’re all waiting with bated breath, like this is some historic event that will change the league forever. Spoiler alert, Beketov: it won’t. It’s just another player in a league full of players, and the only person making a big deal about it is you.

       

      I swear, this guy thinks he’s untouchable. And it’s not just in the way he talks about himself—it’s in the way he talks down to everyone else. He has this patronizing tone, like we’re all children here to learn from his vast wealth of “knowledge.” Newsflash, we didn’t ask for your guidance, Beketov. He’s constantly dropping unsolicited “advice” like he’s some benevolent overseer, but we all know it’s just another way for him to feel superior. This guy’s ego is so massive, it could probably form its own gravitational field. And the worst part is, he’s so busy basking in his own glory that he doesn’t even realize how tired the rest of us are of hearing it.

       

      It’s almost tragic watching him parade his own greatness, oblivious to the fact that most people are rolling their eyes at every word. Every time he logs on, it’s like he’s performing for an imaginary audience of adoring fans. He’ll type out these epic monologues about the “journey” he’s on with his new player, as if we’re all supposed to care about his little self-aggrandizing stories. But here’s the thing—nobody’s here for the Beketov Show. We’re here to play the game, to improve our own skills, and to build a community that’s not centered around one person’s ego. But to him, we’re just the supporting cast, the “loyal fans” here to applaud his every move.

       

      And if you try to call him out on it? Forget it. The guy’s got this impenetrable wall of arrogance. He’ll just double down, probably start lecturing about “respect for veterans” or “understanding the spirit of the league.” It’s like he’s so wrapped up in his own hype that he’s completely lost touch with reality. Half the league has probably tuned him out by now, but he still barrels on, convinced he’s the star of the show.

       

      So here’s a suggestion, Beketov: take a step back, let someone else share the spotlight, and realize that the VHL doesn’t revolve around you. We’re here to play, to compete, and to support each other, not to inflate your ego with every single post. And until you figure that out, most of us are just going to keep scrolling past, waiting for the day when the forums are no longer dominated by your relentless self-promotion.

  9. I don't see why not.
  10. You got the VHLE killed, don’t you touch my autocorrects
  11. I mean they won't autocorrect for me if I was to say them but there are definitely a lot more than just those two. For sure there's "Rainbow flavoured unicorns" and there's a variation on "the best people here". There's a few others that we rarely see as well. I had just woken up, frankly amazed I got as much of it correct as I did haha
  12. The lore behind all the autocorrects would be a fun MS.
  13. Hello @Members! One of these days we’ll remember this before the day before I swear. Anyway! The part of this post everyone wants of course, the Trade Deadline is Monday, November 11th at 3pm EST. This also means that anyone wishing to re-create for the S98 draft (hey that’s me!) can do so starting at midnight that same day. --- We can be done right? You don’t actually want a theme week… Fine. The theme for S95 is: What the hell does that mean? Well as we approach S100 there’s been a lot of league history and lore to explore, weird trends, curses, Anderson alts, you name it. If you can justify it we’ll count it so let’s get that VHL Lore going! To earn your Theme Week TPE, write an article, create a graphic, or record a podcast with some connection to “VHL Lore”. --- 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 S97 or older may claim the theme week bonus. @VHL GM @VHLE GM @VHLM GM
  14. I kinda love that the "ghost ship" is the dead logo haha

  17. Based off my quick search it appears S73 was the first. I think we might have had it before and then removed it and brought it back mind you; I feel like I remember wildcard games back in the 50’s or 60’s.
  18. It would be interesting to compare this to pre-wildcard days. We have morale turned way down but anecdotally it feels like wildcard teams knock out the victory cup winning team far more often than bottom seeds were doing it before and I’ve long wondered if it’s because the extra 3-5 games of morale make a difference.
  19. In theory sure but in practice it’s about the league standard to have 1/4 of the league in a rebuild so it’s not really that unusual. It’s just made more apparent here because they are basically all in one conference. It’s basically an impossibility to remove the concept of rebuilding teams.
  20. FWIW we could keep the character of the conferences and still have playoff crossover, we’ve had it before and that’s how the M works. It’s a bit more work but nothing too insane.
  21. The last post in there is glorious.
  22. The rare double shutout.

  24. I mean that would make 20 games so 4 over or under I guess. Personally I probably would have just gone over but that’s just me; maybe he went over yesterday and I just didn’t count.
  25. 12 Games? Seems low.
