Hello Everyone, Couple of really small notes today just to get them out of the way before playoffs start which should be within the week! First up, as you like likely noticed I didn't use the members tag at the top there. The reason for this is pretty simple: it's busted. Most people have likely noticed this already but best to make a point of it. Group mentions do still work, just not the members tag specifically. We're pretty sure the group is just too large. The dev is working on it right now to add a queue for larger tags so that they can function again but for now it doesn't work. Shouldn't really affect anything but if we do have announcements to make we won't be able to tag everyone so make sure to keep an eye on the top of the forum where announcements will still show up. To make it a bit easer as well we have made an announcements channel on discord which will be used to link to any announcements we make. @Joshis planning to automate this in the future but for now we'll just do it manually. Speaking of discord, that leads me to point number two. Pardon the grumpy old man in me bit discord has created a bit of an issue with the community; namely that it has fragmented it. Having no lasting conversations means the community is often split up so you really only see the people who are online at the same time as you. This has it's uses for some things but is problematic for others. For that reason I'm killing discord effective immediately! Obviously that's not actually true but some of the staff are concerned about this fragmentation, especially as it relates to game threads which have seen a distinct decrease in activity as of the last few seasons. I'm sure many of you have noticed as I know several of you have commented on it, though ironically not on the game threads. Part of this issue, we believe, has been the discord bot. While useful in many ways the discord bot posting game links directly in each team's locker room has, we believe, caused even further fragmentation. Why come out of your locker room, let alone come to the forum as a whole, when you can see everything you need while hiding away in the locker room? For that reason we have decided, as a trial run, to disable the game posting bot during the playoffs this season. Simmers will still mention when games get simmed (and being playoffs these sims will be live for some extra content) and people can come check them, and hopefully have some actual discussion, but the links will not be sent directly to locker rooms. This is a trial run, if members as a whole dislike it then it's easy to turn back on. On the whole, while we appreciate discord's usefulness, the entire league cannot run from discord and the community aspect is potentially weakened by it. We are not asking for universal acceptance, we just wish to try and see if people enjoy it. Hopefully the pitchforks aren't raised too high and you can all enjoy your day. Sincerely, @Commissioner, @Admin

No, 1 player at a time. I meant more as in more Phil players OVERALL to add to the list of past Phil players.

Time flies when there’s a guy on the ice knocking your fucking head off every shift.

Always good to have more @Phil!

God damn that was a badass roster

I’m sorry if this actually works but I need to test it out. @Members I know this is in the thunderdome but please let me know if that actually tagged you without just fucking around. Just need to see if things are actually broken or not.

#spoilers yeah, the claim is fine.

Man, it’s been so long since I looked at trivia that I forgot I even asked that question haha

What did they actually change? IMO the best BaP I’ve seen (and admittedly I don’t buy many sports games) is still the first one back in Madden 08 or whatever it was. So much behind the scenes stuff.

The only thing is that if they can find teams they do get that great chemistry with they can manage good individual numbers as well. See @Advantagein S68 when he was put with Thompson. The tricky part is that a scoring focused player can do well mostly anywhere. A passing focused player needs the right linemates to succeed.

How dare I answer questions. DON’T PANIC @GustavMattias

Free weeks replace a weekly PT, and thusly are capped. Capped -> Free Week (6 TPE). A full free week (12 TPE) is also in there if that’s what you’re looking for. I don’t recall which donations give atm.

I’m clearly too tired to understand this Australian humour

Oof, they went in dry didn’t they?

I would like to clarify that @Berocka is not “the league”

Isn’t this basically the old lotto? @GustavMattias will be happy, he’ll have something to complain about again!

If by “on pace” you mean “have already passed” then yes! At least in my case.

Stupid name is stupid

@Sixersfan549 as per your request I have moved you to the S76 draft and set your TPE accordingly to 30 base + your 19 carryover. You may now update as usual. @VHLM GM have at him

S44 Wranglers was definitely one of the most fun teams I've ever been on. That underdog run was legendary.

Just a heads up, reviews are for main PT’s (the ones found here). This one can count but under normal circumstances VHL.com articles don’t count for reviewing.

Snubbed

Lahtinen clearly sick of @Patrik Tallinder having the goals lead.

@Jubo07 @Banackock Just a heads up I had 5 minutes so I just went and processed this trade and updated the index so you guys can set your lines accordingly without any bots and such.

The Sponsor's Shield tournament (RIP) actually had us together. It went very poorly. (Looks like Vic beat me to this point) I actually did change it for a couple of days but then everyone complained that it was red and they didn't immediately recognize me so I changed it back.
