These are all it spat out. @Will?

Couldn’t resist throwing some shade haha. Points for confidence in your team mind you.

Still didn’t get the cup right though

A few quick notes: 1. We did have a bug related to the fact that predictions opened as "Finalist 1 and 2" and were then changed over to the Marta and Fong. This means that some people picked the wrong conference for the trophy. It's being fixed for S69's predictions and didn't affect the predictions of most but Myself and @Matt_O correctly predicted Malmo (but for the Marta) and @FrostBeard correctly predicted Seattle (but for the fong). We will manually add 1 TPE to the affected people. 2. Several people seemed to forget that conferences were a thing and predicted 2 European teams. the worst of whom was @ShawnGlade who predicted Davos for both the Fong and Marta. 3. I'm probably wrong but this is the most zeros in recent memory. 4. Frostbeard was the only person to predict Seattle as a Finalist.

@Members Please note that you do not need to manually claim prediction points, they have already been added to your account. This is just a reference.

Normally I would say yes because we revoked your trivia answers from last week but they appear to be back on your player? I might have messed up and not realized they go back into the queue or something. Stand by. Edit: Yeah, I think that’s what happened. I revoked it but it went back to the queue or something and was re-approved. I went in and revoked again and then denied it so yes, you’re covered.

Welcome to the VHL, Cusemode! 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!

Doubtful, I’ve had one beast out of 10 so odds are another dud.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Best two players of the last decade retire: time to make the top player list. Clearly rigged against us.

Hedge was taking his time and there was definite discussion about #16 going BPA which would have actually been you at the time haha

Honestly anyone can learn graphics, we all start somewhere. My first sigs were made in gimp and were terrible. We’ve got great members and great resources if you want to learn.

Much worse GM’s have won with much worse rosters haha

Oof, those first two periods pretty much sealed it. Wahl and our Defense forgot the start time I guess.

I’ll take 3 points and a win against a strong Scandinavian team. Those shot totals though, not great.

@Beaviss drafted his last player if I recall correctly.

I don’t think @hedgehog337 dares try and pick an @Ahma player but who knows, maybe he’s feeling rebellious.

And if there’s an issue like that we’ll talk to the offender privately but I don’t think we need to go into the etymology of most words to establish their meaning. I have to assume our members have enough common sense to recognize when their words could come off as harmful.

As I said in the OP context will be taken into consideration. We’re not going to immediately punish someone for uttering a word but we are obviously going to look at the context it was used in to help decide. For example, a GM saying “well that’s gay” after they lost the cup final clearly does not mean “that’s cheery” and everyone involved knows it. Just as saying gay when discussing homosexuality isn’t automatically a bad thing because obviously the context of the conversation calls for it. We aren’t censoring words and saying “these ones can be used, these ones can’t” but we all understand context so the argument that a word could have different meanings when 1 particular meaning was obviously meant doesn’t hold a lot of weight.

You’re a member like anyone else, you’re more than welcome to voice your opinion and offer examples, even if they don’t come from here.

Obviously you are supposed to be keep an eye on your players to not have them go to FA on you though. In any case I already said it’s fine so there’s no need for us to get into anything over this.

You’ve got the banked so if you’d rather I just revoke that and you earn no more this week that’s fine.

We both know you’re being ridiculous to prove a point and it’s not working so this conversation is over.

Stupid means stupid, that’s literally the definitely of the word. Using gay as a synonym for stupid is basically saying all homosexuals are stupid because what they are is a synonym for stupid. You see the issue?

I mean yeah but someone’s gotta try haha
