You claimed people weren’t putting effort in. Not people were stealing shit. Don’t try to pass off two different things as the same.

Plenty of people have been calling for that exact punishment. You have no idea how many people were thankful I suspended you for as long as I did; it was the best activity we’ve had in ages without you. But yes, I’m a hypocrite and unfit to be in my position. Everything is my fault and he almighty Boubabi is right about everything. Learn how to be an adult and take responsibility please.

Have you even considered giving us any time to fix the issue? Let me fill you in since you weren’t here: we had a busy couple of days. Re-working graphics rules wasn’t exactly high priority. Instead of assuming that I just hate you and refuse to do anything you bring up perhaps you should consider that we have other priorities and we’ll get to things. Being a dick to prove a point won’t speed that up because now we need to deal with your hissy fit instead.

For the record @Banackock, we can see Edit history. I get the point you’re trying to make but this isn’t the way to do it.

How long are you going to keep up this “woe is me, everyone is hanging up on me” attitude before you realize the common denominator is always you. Like Jardy said, it’s not what you are saying it’s the way you are going about it. If you act like a dick people are going to treat you like one. It’s easy for you to say that I have it out for you or whatever but it’s apparently much harder to just accurately look at the situation and realize that you are the one acting unreasonably. As for claiming anything here is a personal attack on you, have you heard he simple phrase “what goes around comes around?” If you think it’s okay to publically attack others then why is it not okay for anyone to call you out? You are not immune. You are not above the law. You have been allowed to have your way for far too long and if I need to be the “biased admin” to put a stop to it then so be it. Also, if you didn’t care as much as you claim you don’t then you would have left after you were suspended like you said over and over again that you would. You have no one left on your side. Look around you. Regardless of whether or not the points you are making are valid the way you are making them is still wrong. You can cover a Ferrari in shit and people won’t want to drive it. It’s still a Ferrari but it’s not worth what you have to deal with.

I specifically remember you telling me before that you’d leave if “you even suspend me for a second” and then 2 days ago you again claimed you’d leave if you were suspended. I’m sorry but your threats to leave simply aren’t holding weight anymore.

The rule is what I quoted above. Original and effort. If enough work is proven to be added then it’s borderline but still fine. Dollar’s judgement is word of law on this.

Each case is different. There isn’t necessarily “consistency.” The fact that you are doing this out of spite isn’t helping your case any.

That’s still up to @DollarAndADream. It’s his job to make the decision. Claim it all you want but we can and will take it away.

I asked you to PM proof since you claimed he’s been doing it for years. I put that specific post in Dollar’s hands the same as I am doing here. Here’s the difference with the situation that you don’t seem to recognize though. As you stated yourself, we can’t go back and remove all boom’s old TPE if you are in fact telling the truth. What we can do is enforce the rules now when people are caught. The rules, I remind you, state I’ve bolded the important parts for you. This is up to the Head of PT staff, not me. I’m not saying you can’t do it. If he does that’s his choice. So don’t decide that I have double standards against you. All I’m doing is pointing out the obvious, same as you did.

Not broken for me.

So just to confirm the hypocrisy here. When someone else does it there’s a problem but when you do it [worse] it’s totally fine? Social Justice Warrior doesn’t suit you. I get it, you don’t like what we told you. Here’s the thing, I’m still waiting for proof PMed to me and maybe we can do something about it. As for this, I’ll leave it to @DollarAndADream to decide.

Since when is cornerstone a goalie? Considering he isn’t, and also you know, this: I’ll leave this for @DollarAndADream as well but want you to know that what you’re trying to do won’t fly.

I’m good with a Halifax franchise. Considering 3/4 of the blue team is from the area is seems like a perfect choice haha

Well winning this one gives you a shot at Keller again so that kinda makes up for one of those at least haha

Considering both Devise and I play for Toronto if it were about blue team preferences I’m pretty sure we would have had better than 4th haha. At the end of the day everything luck related in the VHL goes @STZ‘s way. How else can you explain how much the sim engine loves him?

https://i.imgur.com/AP2dGJQ.jpg It's far too big to post the full image so link will work. Something I wanted to work on based on some ideas we have for what we would like to do with the VHL. Obviously heavily influenced by the NHL.com site but it is still an early version. P.S yes, the cursor is supposed to be there in order to show the active link. You aren't seeing extra cursors on your screen.

NY looking potentially scary this season. Could easily jump from last in NA to a solid playoff spot.

We’re still working out the specifics of the S59 pick you own but yes, chances are we will slide a bonus pick into the middle of the first round for you which would be 5th overall. That’s still subject to change but it’s what is likely right now as it’s both where they would likely fall and a fair system considering it’s dead centre of all the current teams drafting. Luckily for the league (though a shame for you I admit) is that is the only pick we need to concern ourselves with in S59.

Honestly I think lowering recruitment incentives down to basically nothing was one of the worst “band-aid” fixed the league has ever had and I hope to get that fixed up. As you said, it may have crippled a few TPE whores down to normal levels but it also crippled recruitment for the league. People won’t bother doing something unless there’s something in it for them (like dead hookers as you pointed out) so why shouldn’t we incentivize our the ass? What’s the worst that happens, we have some powerhouse players? Maybe some of Scotty’s rigging scoring records might actually be beaten.

Let’s get this back on track shall we? Draft picks won’t be released until after but I see no reason that’s you guys can’t get to know the draft order. Just in case you want to do some mock drafts or what have you. 1. NEW YORK AMERICANS: 2. SEATTLE BEARS: 3. HC DAVOS DYNAMO: 4. TORONTO LEGION: 5. QUEBEC CITY MEUTE: 6. CALGARY WRANGLERS: 7. RIGA REIGN: 8. HELSINKI TITANS: As we said in the OP, this was 100% randomized with every team having the exact same odds. Congrats to the Americans for picking up that first pick. Draft is going on right now.

It’s going on in the GM forum right now. We could probably publically release the order. I’ll do it in the morning unless @Will wants to post it earlier.

Subtle haha FWIW I’m sure Toronto would love to have you.

I agree it’s more interesting but it isn’t fair to the players. Since it’s officially the off-season they are officially Free Agents and thus not part of the teams getting contracted. I mean I guess players could claim they’d rather be in the dispersal draft if they want to but I can’t see many going for that. @Higgins @Frank @Kyle (probably others but those are the obvious 3) any takers?

It would have been fun to have them in for sure but it just doesn’t make sense. Should be interesting regardless. Like you said, top picks here could really make a difference for teams immediately if that’s what they are after.
