Not yet Bana, save it for the award ceremony if you lose top-GM again.

Your opinion so I can live with that. Same as DeGrath getting votes; it’s their opinion. You’ll never get every vote for every award, it just won’t happen. The sooner you realize this the happier everyone will be. @CowboyinAmerica‘s post literally proves that all you are doing is hurting your own case, not improving it. So once again, just let it go. It’ll be better for everyone.

Proof of what? That you are missing people off? This isn’t a vast conspiracy, this is literally you angering people with your antics to the point that they’d legit like to vote against you. If people are against you it’s entirely being done by you.

Why? So you can drag them through the mud and bitch at them like you are doing with @Bring Back Player 2 (Tri)? Having the names doesn’t provide proof if you’re likely to just claim “X member has it out for me” anyway.

He made his vote. He’s allowed to vote the way he sees fit, just like you are. Let. It. Go.

Again, where is the evidence? I’m not fighting against you and I’m not bias against you. However you have it in your head that me and the rest of the league is. It’s honestly bordering on paranoia at this point. Award voting would be the most obvious if people were against you and yet you’re still winning awards so what other evidence do you have?

Because he couldn’t possibly think DeGrath had a better season right? Here’s the thing, people all vote differently. Just because you (and clearly a majority as well) think you had a better season doesn’t mean EVERYONE does. You can’t infer that everyone voting for someone else is an “anti-Boubabi” vote. You have literally 0 evidence of that. For that matter, if people are voting that way do you think trying to argue with them is going to help? Pretty sure that will just make people more upset.

Its not a per vote setting, it’s a global setting so far as I’m aware and not one I plan to turn on. We don’t publically release who voted for who with any other awards so why would we with these? Edit: Scratch that, it is per vote, never noticed that. Still not turning it on though. Votes for every other award are private, this one should be the same. If people want to come forward that’s their choice. Can you politely though? When it comes to you and awards you’ve only ever shown hostility so honestly I do not expect you’d be able to have any kind of polite discussion about this.

I can see them but that doesn’t mean everyone deserves the right to. They have a vote same as you do and DeGrath did have a good season. Before you say it as well, no, I did not vote DeGrath.

Bumping this back up; we're once again looking for interested people to join the BOG. We've got a few people in mind already that we may approach but if you'd like to throw your name into the ring PM me an application.

@Beaviss recruited himself, clear multi

I was asked this morning what tasks were available, fear not, I brought up reviewing. With a regular PT, a VHL.com article, a press conference, and reviewing people can hit the weekly cap even without a job. It’s all about opening up the possibilities. Hopefully we can get a “reviewing team” more or less going again with these new guys.

Vote for which player you believe was the most outstanding of S59.

@dea5shot

I doubt I’ll get it recorded pre-draft since it’s so soon but worst case I’ll answer them in regards to the S61 VHL draft since it’s the same players. I’ll make it work.

Just for the sake of transparency when I record (since I will be dodging billets and such while recording haha) do you mean the VHLM draft, this season’s VHL draft, or next season’s VHL draft where you (and I, and a bunch of others) are located?

THhere are no bad questions, just mediocre answers strewn together with a series of “uhhhhhs” haha. Thanks for the continued support.

Not sure when I'll have time to record next but let's see if we can get some questions in case it's soon. @der meister @Phil @tfong @Banackock @JardyB10 @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @Smarch @Beaviss @Devise @Shaka @iRockstar @Ahma @Quik @diamond_ace @TWalkerFC @dea5shot @jacobaa19 @MaikTheRed Added a couple of our new first gens to the tag. Don't ever feel obligated to give me any questions guys but if you'd like to get involved and have some stuff answered it could be an entertaining way to do it. Plus podcast questions can count as questions asked for Press Conferences so easy TPE.

You can add the flair to it however you’d like. Kendrick liked doing it with GFXbut it isn’t necessary. So long as you can make it look decent (however you choose) and be interesting that’s all that matters.

Those S61 1st’s could be huge for Riga if the draft pans out even half as well as it’s looking.

I’ll leave the questions to the new guys but, for what it’s worth, I would be interesting in bringing Thompson’s talents to Saskatoon.

With all the influx of new members to the VHLM it’s about time we brought back the VHL Prospect Rankings. @Kendrick used to do these before moving onto the recruitment team role he has now and the position has been vacant ever since. Whomever gets the position could put their own spin on it but Kendrick’s looked like this. You would be in charge of creating the prospect rankings however frequently you deem fitting. I believe the standard was 4 times per season so every 2 weeks. Pay is 3 TPE per article plus it counts as your weekly PT.
