Oh damn, Vancouver trading away their star.

I didn’t set any rules, I’m just following the last set that we’ve had which has any country not mentioned as being somewhere else goes to world. I honestly don’t care one way or the other, it just doesn’t make sense to me to re-draw the placements for a single country that has become a meme. By all means though if people want them in Nordic they can be. As a Nordic player I’ll gladly take the extra help. I just find world makes more sense.

It does not matter if they haven’t played for either team (also have you gone back and checked every single World Cup to make this claim? I’d be stunned if this batch is the only Greenlanders ever). Precedent exists, we know what countries are part of what WC teams. If you are not part of that list you go to team world, period. This isn’t about who the country belongs to or where they are geographically. It’s straight up what rules have we set in place and those say Greenland = World. Now, could an argument be made that the WC needs to be expanded: potentially. The rise of the Mercs lately does kinda show that there’s a lot of top end talent getting left behind. If such a discussion existed and we decided to add more WC teams then maybe we could re-draw the map but to me, right now, it makes no sense to go against the precedent that already exists.

Of note as well, Puerto Rico is also listed as Eligible for Team World.

They have not played for World but they were available per the S76 Eligibility List. Just because World didn't pick any of them doesn't mean they didn't belong to team World.

Again, IMO, World. We aren't here to figure out geo-politics, we're here to sim some fake hockey. We've already laid out what countries go to what teams, if you don't fall under one of those countries you go to World. Yes, Greenland belongs to Denmark and the above belong to the US but for the sake of our conversation it's easier to call them their own countries. Hell there's already precedent that Greenland goes to World; they had 8 players eligible for the World roster in S76. I'm not sure where this discussion is coming from.

The way you ordered the poll makes no sense to me, why include Two teams in each option? I would say it’s Nordic or World, I see no reason to bring Europe into the equation at all. For the reasons I said above, Greenland should be World.

There’s EU countries in Nordic. Our teams are moreso just groupings that we created to where countries fit best and if they aren’t in any of those specific groupings they go to World. Which is why honestly I say Team world. Sure, Greenland isn’t technically a country but for our purposes there’s no reason to not treat it like one. Therefore without being present in any of the specific team lists we have created it should go under World.

This topic is not for hiring an AGM, you can discuss that with whomever gets the job after.

@ThatsGreissy I only just realized you’ve been making a new topic each week, I merged them all together. Please use this one for any new press conferences instead of making a new topic each week. It just keeps everything cleaner.

Update: Since I had to move back to work from home anyway I just took the desk along with my computer and such. Everything should fit a bit better with my smaller computer / second monitor / speakers but it definitely feels way less cubicle like which is nice. I’ve also replaced the chair with a better one from the office, I just don’t have a photo with that.

Curse you deductive reasoning!

Not much but the main page from like S2 is archived on the wayback machine. I’ve posted it on this forum before but I can’t remember where at the moment. You can’t see many posts mind you, it’s mostly just the main page.

Maybe it wasn’t more than a season but it definitely had games, I remember them pretty distinctly. I wonder if I can find it on the way back machine. Edit: doesn’t look like I can find the link as easy as the OG VHL one so I’m guessing I can’t find any archives of it. I’m sure we had some games though.

That would make sense. I also remember Pavel more and I spoke to Manship a lot more than Tyler. Deductive reasoning!

Pavel definitely sounds right. Can’t for the life of me recall which is which kind you but one was Manship and one was Tyler. Actually wait, @Tyler are you still around any? Which one were you?

ESHL was before the OSHL, it ran for quite a bit longer. OSHL only ran for I think 2 or 3 seasons.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually spoken with anyone who was on that team, at least not in the last decade. Didn’t Robbie’s team only lose like 2 games that season or something? Was he super obvious in the locker room that it was rigged because it was pretty clear to everyone else anyway haha. On the plus side it was there that I was linked to the VHL so that worked out.

They both made Dubnikov’s

Back to those S10 sigs with text slapped into a black border.

That’s not how layers work…. I mean admittedly, who else could it be for, but that doesn’t change my opinion that it needs text.

For altercations made here (originally in the Helsinki GM application) @BladeMaiden has been suspended from the forum and discord for 2 days under the CoC, specifically this section of it for making unprovoked targeted attacks against another member.

We can't really decide based on "which team needs them more" though. I'm fine saying it's more like Puerto Rico but you said it yourself: they fall under World not US. I would say that applies here as well and that's coming from someone who's player does fall under Nordic and may benefit from having the extra help.

I don't recall who ran them but it definitely wasn't me.

As I understand it Greenland is it’s own country, just under the kingdom of Denmark. Sorta similar to the commonwealth with the UK. So saying it’s basically Denmark would be like saying Canada is basically Britain. I would say Greenland goes to team World. They aren’t specifically listed in any of the other groups which has historically always meant World.
