Which is why I said you can bring other criteria into it if you so choose; it's a public vote, we don't expect it to be ridiculously strict or else the top scorer would likely just win every year that a goalie doesn't have record setting numbers. All I was saying was that by definition of the award most outstanding means compared to everyone, not most valuable to their team. They can be one in the same, obviously DeGrath and Cornerstone both had MVP worthy numbers as well, but they aren't necessarily. Louth was valuable to Quebec but not necessarily Most Outstanding (despite being in the vote here).

This is your response to me being transparent and on your side? You wonder why most posts seem to be against you. Maybe it's because you come back at people agreeing with you like this. It's generally common knowledge of the difference between the awards so we haven't posted the difference in ages, if ever. Given the argument I figured it was worth posting it now. Sorry if it being "late" offends you.

Honest answer? Wanted someone that wasn't Toronto or Helsinki haha

For the sake of being transparent to both sides of the argument as well, this is most outstanding, not most valuable. I'm not telling anyone how to vote but I will say that this award is based on stats, not team. So saying that DeGrath got NY into the playoffs, for example, isn't entirely relevant based on the stats. With that said, more than just stats can be considered if you think that's what makes a player the best but this award, strictly speaking, is for the best player.

You've complained about the Slobo being public every season for the past what, 10? Trust me, I know plenty about your dislike of it. Won't be losing any sleep. Literally you've gained a vote since you started complaining though and are still up by 4. Clearly you're making a bigger deal out of this than is necessary. Every vote for someone else isn't some kind of slight at you; it's just someone with a different opinion. I'm sorry that you can't understand difference of opinion but that's how the world (and this vote) operates.

This just in, Top-GM is now based entirely on comparisons to your predecessors

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?
