Must everything come with a punishment? Can we not just do something because it’s literally easier for you and causes less spam in here?

Been over 12 hours so I’m just going again. D - Robert Malenko @bukss_a

Seriously, we just talked about this. You don’t need to post again for the 2nd week. Just claim it as other without a link and mention it’s the 2nd part of your donation.

It hasn’t been solved, they are over the prime cap.

I long ago accepted that STHS decided if goalies will be iffy or god tier at creation regardless of TPE.

Honestly parity has been a longtime goal of the league and I think we’re finally realizing what parity truly can mean: random results. Ultimately the sim is random so if two teams are both good it’s gonna act random. Does that explain Toronto’s two cups and Seattle getting nothing or Vancouver missing the playoffs? Not really. Also doesn’t fully explain Malmo but my guess there is simply what we’ve known for a bit now: the first 500 TPE is more important than the next 1000. Their players aren’t monsters but they are good enough. Combined with some nice chemistry gets them success. Maybe I should have signed with Malmo. Would have cursed them to the “middle of the pack” spot they logically should be in.

Welcome to the “Beaten by Seattle in S66” club. It hasn’t been making much sense haha.

How in the world do I play 29 minutes with 99 scoring and take 0 shots?

It would be my luck.

So this is clearly why you started that trend again, you sly fucker. Anyway, Happy Birthday @Phil!

If I already had a cup in the career I probably would have gone to Malmo for some fun times.

It’s automatically created upon your registration. It’s possible that because it’s so early the tagging system doesn’t quite function as intended yet. An Auto-PM will also have gone out, all of this is automated.

Can’t really do that though because teams can easily sign someone and then get under the cap before the season begins, like Seattle did last off-season for example. It’s not the league’s job to make sure GM’s get within the cap, that’s on the GM’s. If anything we made it easier this season offering a free buyout but thus far that has not been used. I get that it’s frustrating from your perspective but your complain is ultimately with Spade for not getting under the cap.

Honestly for @leafsman‘a sake it would need to be soon if @Spade18 can’t pull something off.

They aren’t according to @Victor unless something has changed that I don’t know about. Last I heard they were $1Mill over the prime cap. Nano, being the last one added, sits until that cap is figured out.

I’d be more open to it for something like that where you aren’t talking something that happens frequently but could be interesting if done correctly for big games. We would need to figure out a method to get the announcer the game file though without it being leaked. If we output the index for example the box score is gonna be on there for anyone to look at. Easily something we could work out, but something to be brought up. Definitely don’t think it’s something we could frequently do though. Way too much work for little payoff.

If you’ve been skipped you can always pick whenever you notice. Also, tags don’t always email. I believe the default is set to not email from tags but I could be wrong. You can set how you’d like to be notified by things.

I’ve personally always looked at it as not worth the effort. We can sim easily 10+ games in a matter of minutes vs. Doing 1 with PbP that takes multiple hours for a single game. Maybe it’s just me but I’m too busy to even sit around for that and even if I weren’t, as you said, the PbP itself is rather boring. A PbP announcer could certainly fake it to jazz things up a bit but it’s still ultimately a huge undertaking for what I deem minimal gain. Realistically the reason the VHL took off 12 years ago is because we became the first league to run a text based sim instead of running off a video game that needed to be watched and PbP’s by an announcer. This ease of simming is a huge advantage because it means that we can have a pretty decently long season without having to kill our simming team in the process.
