Bit of an early one boys but it's the time I've got so going live in a minute.

Dil freaking out because of three seasons missing the finals. Come talk to me when it’s 20 seasons and you win the Victory Cup in 15 of those, Kay?

The wife is actually going out this morning so I’ll do games 1 and 2 before I play CoD.

Good luck with that. Also fuck off

Alright boys let's get this done.

Welcome to the VHL, thekillamon! 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!

We've always allowed purchases early for depreciation so long as the salary you'll be receiving (or the league minimum if you are entering FA) will be enough to cover the purchase. So if you're waiting on $4M for example in contract and need another $2M to afford the purchase you can go into the negatives to get it because your contract will cover it.

Couple other quick things from further listening, again there could still be more. I'm kinda listening to this over a full week when I have the chances haha. 1. Kendrick is 100% around as an alias. The admins know who he is and aren't about to go shouting about it publicly and revealing so I'm not going to say. But yes, I know who he is and if he wants to keep his head down that's his choice. 2. The reason for the auto-theme week stuff is very simple and I stand by it: some jobs can't be on theme. For example, simming replaces my PT. I can't sim on a theme obviously so it would either be do my job for free that week, don't do it and do the theme week instead, or forfeit the theme week bonus. That's not realistically fair. It's also not realistically fair to say "okay, some jobs that replace PT's can get the theme and some can't" so I make it universal that if your job replaces your PT you get the bonus that it replaces. That last part is important because, to use myself for example again, simming pays 7 TPE. That means it only replaces my main PT. Thus I claim an extra 6 but only get the last 2 if I do a 590 on theme like everyone else. I don't think it's reasonable to say anyone that has a PT replacing job has to either forfeit the theme week bonus, work for free, or ignore their job. It just doesn't make sense. So that's the reasoning behind the "free" theme week. As I already said I don't think applying it to the 12/week affiliate guys was fair. Ultimately that's still welfare and no other welfare guys get it so I should have considered that. However I stand by the job replacement ones.

It really does make me look bad that you aren't wrong about this haha. Dominate game 3 and 4 that I didn't have time to do live but get our ass kicked in 5 and 6.

Going live in just a minute fellas.

I finally listened to this, at least win part. Might have more thoughts once I get through the rest. To discuss your point about the 12 welfare thing. It's true that maybe we should have discussed it more but we didn't really look at it as something that "only affects" the people making the decision. You make a good point that it's the case but we more or less looked at it as "We're the people doing the most work in all these affiliated leagues but also the ones who can't enjoy the other leagues because of our time commitments." So the idea behind it isn't to have people come in for 2 seconds and then disappear all week. I know Molholt and Doc have both been a bit more active than that here and I have tried (unsuccessfully) to do so in the SBA. can't really speak for anyone else. Was it a bit naive? Perhaps but our intentions were relatively pure enough. I do think that uncapped opportunities and stuff are enough that someone truly active here should still be able to get ahead more as well as just figuring out the engine more but you bring up a realistic concern. I also do agree the theme week was a bad idea. I was busy as hell and said it on a whim. I'm not gonna pull it back now but future ones definitely should not count, you are correct on that. I know I didn't claim any bonus in the SBA theme week.

While I would love your gratitude the extra time commitment probably won’t make that possible and certainly not at my usual simming time. I will do my best though. Also good to know my monotonous “I’ve been awake for 15 hours and working for 9 of those” voice is entertaining still haha.

Could you like, not though?

I'll be posting in here any time I can manage to do a live sim during the playoffs. Link will always be the same: Going live for sim 3 in a minute.

I honestly just didn’t realize that it wasn’t the norm. Didn’t want Shawn saying he thought he submitted when really he was just dumb Nope.

Look look I did things and we still won. Can I come out my my cage now @GustavMattias

I know, I’ve been meaning to try and find time to finish this up. FWIW he only sent me questions for week 4 so I couldn’t put up another one anyway and you can back claim it.

Do you dominate on paper? The shots are kinda surprising but I’d hardly say you dominate on paper when we all know STHS prefers offence and our offence is far stronger.

Never underestimate a @Devise goalie in the playoffs.

Probably tbh

This is the kind of tight game I expected from these two teams. Nice to get the game tying goal with only a minute left and a huge triple OT thriller. GG @ShawnGlade
