We actually made it a few months without needing one of these! As you have likely seen by now @JeffD has decided to step down from the GM position of the Chicago Phoenix; the only GM the team has ever known I might add. This leaves us with another GM vacancy that needs filling it. As always the league would like to thank Jeff for his time behind the bench in Chicago. If you are interested in the opening, please post in this thread. Please do not contact the Commissioners outside of this thread, we will reach out to the chosen candidate privately. ***Please refrain from making comments regarding any candidates and their "worthiness" of being hired for this job, positive or negative. Any comment that is not an application will be removed to maintain a clean list of actual candidates, and (I hate that this actually needs to be said, but...) any member bashing will not be tolerated.***

In the interest of fairness the originally requested name was the London Plague which is bad enough given, you know, the bubonic plague but it was also in 2020 so... yeah it was problematic haha.

VHLM* The Moscow Red Wolves were never in the VHL. Also at least in part, much like Quebec, blame the terrorist nutjobs. It's not the only reason for Istanbul's removal by any stretch but it certainly didn't help their case.

Parts of it are on the way back machine so watch out on your thanks haha

what if they just light mode on the forum and dark mode the portal and discord?

PLAYOFF INDEX @VHLM GM Here is your index for the playoffs, we will be starting these tomorrow so please get your lines and such ready in the meantime. The schedule will be the same as always. Games 1 and 2 simmed day 1; 3 and 4 simmed day 2, and any subsequently required games simmed 1 per day. Also as per the rules adding any new players is unfortunately now closed, this is a physical limitation of STHS. However anyone new up until right now have been added to your rosters so you can put them in your lines. As they were during the regular season sims will be live and available here: https://www.twitch.tv/beketov_vhl I will update discord each day when I'm going live. Hope you all had a great regular season and looking forward to some playoff action.

War for sure.

Well that explains all the bots yesterday, was signalling the apocalypse.

Re-simming doesn’t work that way. You can’t just selectively choose “I need these X games” you have to redo the full days so every game would be affected by that.

The amount of people that have come into leagues during the VHL / SBA / EFL era is kinda crazy so I think a lot of people just have the mindset that leagues lasting is the norm when it REALLY isn’t. We’re all kinda the exception, not the rule. Pre-VHL leagues were lucky if they lasted a year, like insanely lucky and it was incredibly uncommon. To be at 16 years and nearing 100 seasons is honestly completely unheard of as far as I know.

Crazy idea, you could just not skip it... I mean literally if you are giving up TPE to stay down you aren't getting the benefit of the additional VHL season anyway, you're just straight losing TPE. I'm not gonna ruin the party with an argument though, do what you want.

I mean that sounds like a you problem. Wasting TPE is pretty much never the answer.

Why?

That is precisely the vibe I go for haha.

My reading comprehension at 6:30 am isn’t the best I guess haha. Not my best moment.

So basically yes, the post needs to be made this week (which you’ve just done) but you can claim later so long as it’s before the end of the playoffs. That was back in March for me, it’s a weird feeling. Made weirder by being a crazy person that never had a huge hiatus. 16*

The league is older than I was when I joined. It’s fucking madness.

Hey VHL @Members! Old hands of the league have surely been waiting for this but for any youngin’s out there that aren’t aware July 18th, 2007 is the day the VHL opened. That means today marks the league's official 16th birthday. Our little league can officially drive! Fucking wild. Anyway, it’s been an absolute wild time over the past 16 years but we know you all didn't click on this to read about how fucking ancient I am. You came in for the TPE and I intend on delivering it! To commemorate the league's 16th birthday, we are giving all members a Triples Week, which adds 12 Uncapped TPE to any 6-TPE Point Task (Welfare/Pension/Affiliate PT are not included but as usual if your pay covers your PT that counts), as well as 4 Uncapped TPE. To claim these perks, which naturally add up to 16 Uncapped TPE (aren’t we so clever) all you need to do is post in this thread and then link to that post in your update; that's it! No scavenger hunt, no clues, no catches! Do a PT, make one post, and the sweet TPE is all yours. That’s not all though! We’re gonna also put everyone who claims this birthday TPE into a draw for even more TPE, we know what you all like after all. At the end of this season we’ll draw for 16 prizes of 10 more uncapped TPE each. So, to summarize quickly, that's 16 uncapped TPE just for commenting and doing a PT with the possibility of even more later curtesy of the VHL. All you have to do is post in here and you're good to go! Notes: • This thread will remain open until 11:59PM PST on Monday, July 24th. • All claims for the birthday bonus must be made by the end of the playoffs this season. • Birthday perks may only be claimed on one player per member (IE if you are re-creating you can't claim them on your current player, re-create, and claim them again, pick one or the other).

Distinct lack of questions is disappointing. Come on people, you can do better than this! Poor @Ahma and @FrostBeard are gonna be up super late to do this interview, gotta at least give them some good material haha

Basically. There's options when you delete an account and the one that they wanted was "hide all content". We manually unhid a few of the more important pieces.
