VHL needs more meet ups. Pretty sure I live within 3 hours of 4-5 members ( @Higgins and @Will for sure) but have never met anyone here.

So long as I put a space between them I’ve never had an issue with it. For example: @Tyler @DollarAndADream @Beaviss

Between a slight dip in activity levels and the general time you joined it was unfortunately a rather rough storm. You'll get yourself on a team soon enough and it gets significantly better from there, just keep working at it. As for the political stuff. Do you mean like actually political for league political? League wise we're at a bit of a crossroads regarding big decisions so that means more stuff getting drug through the muck. If you mean actual political: that likely has to do with the simple median age of our members. The VHL is a forum of slightly older members so politics naturally are important in our daily lives (unfortunately) and therefore get discussed sometimes.

NY set themselves up seriously well this season between trades and getting the top dispersal draft pick. I fully expect them to flip from missing the playoffs to being top 3.

For that season. I’m sure it’ll totally last.

This appears to actually be the case, not sure why. We will definitely look into it. Thanks for bringing this up.

If there are any issues let me know ASAP. (S53)C - Franchise Cornerstone: 910 TPE (S53)G - Jacob: 633 TPE (S55)D - Felix Savard: 565 TPE (S52)RW - Sami Zayn: 412 TPE (S52)LW - Conrad Jenkins: 369 TPE (S54)D - Luca Volkov: 356 TPE (S52)D - Alexander Thrower: 303 TPE (S53)LW - Luigi De Rossi: 247 TPE (S55)D - Michael Kinkaid: 213 TPE All other VHL free agents found HERE

It’s very nearly done. The first couple of rounds took awhile but the later ones have been flying. I agree that it might have ave sparked some activity but because of the nature of it (everyone not being in to pick at the same time like a normal draft) it would have been far too long and dragged out for any kind of public excitement.

Discussion with the Free Agents coming from contracted teams (Frank, Kyle, and Higgins) can now be contacted prior to Free Agency officially opening. Their rights don’t belong to an team in particular so they would normally fall under Wednesday’s deadline but there’s no reason to wait on them. Let’s offer some extra time to talk with them, shall we? @Bushito @STZ @Frank @Banackock @DollarAndADream @Tyler @Higgins @hedgehog337

For the record, we did think about it. Carryover wasn’t a complete after-thought. Don’t just assume we left it completely out of the discussion. Admittedly though, we didn’t assume people would stop updating because they would t get carryover. I still don’t believe that. Seems a little much to stop caring because it doesn’t help your next player but maybe that’s just me. I don’t think realistically letting people add the two together makes sense though. Every single person with a carryover amount would be hitting the cap basically, even if we put it to 120. If we assume people retire in their 8th season it means 7% carryover. To get 120 at that rate you’d need 1700 TPE (give or take, it comes out to 119 and change) which isn’t that extreme over 16 seasons. I had 1000 with Holik and I’m at 526 with Sokolov and still have I think 3 seasons left. A much bigger TPE whore than me can hit that with basically no effort at all. There’s also the issue that we want to bring new members in. Carryover is capped for a reason. If new members come into the league with 30 TPE how long do you think they will stay facing off against people from the same draft class as them that started with 4x as much? I offer an alternative. Either the higher of the two amounts (as it is now) or a combined amount totalling less than the currently capped 75 TPE; whichever is higher. Keeps the cap so that new members don’t get scared off and still allows the second player to be useful if one player wasn’t enough to hit the cap with. That way if one player isn’t quite enough you can still use both but only need ~1100 TPE combined to hit max carryover. You still get a benefit of the second player but it does t massively inflate TPE levels and scare new members off.

Don’t mind the edit in the OP. I accidentally clicked on the wrong one so I went and changed my vote.

Didn’t check the teams tbh, went by what they were listed as in the vote haha

Congratulations to everyone who was voted (either publicly or in the BOG) as an All-Star for S57! Historically the game itself has not generated huge interest but it is possible for us to sim one so if you’d like to see the all-stars play let us know. In any case, to the stars (that wasn’t intentional) of the show!

That’s actually pretty good for someone that’s rusty. Just a suggestion though. This forum GGX wise is usually just smaller stuff like player cards for less TPE. If you want to gain more from this signatures are usually posted Here for 6 TPE. That is assuming you haven’t done another PT this week which I haven’t noticed if you have or not. EDIT: Went and looked and you have done a regular PT, someone has been busy. There’s nothing wrong with this, just wanted to let you know for the future. This section doesn’t require full signatures or anything since it’s for far fewer points. Good to see you engaging so much though.

Bye @Phil Bringing in some good assets but always sad to see Phil go.

Because every post is an attack on you. Watch out game threads.

And this isn’t murder. The fact that you think the situation is the same regardless of all circumstances proves that you can’t look at things rationally. If we banned every member for making one rude post we’d have no one left. That’s all this was, one rude post. What you did wasn’t. It may have been 1 rude post that pushed us over the edge but it was far more than that working against you.

Really? Punishment for first offence should be the same as repeated offenders? So prison sentence for an ounce of weed should be the same as dealing meth too? Your arguments don’t make any sense. If I just laughed at what he did and responded with “yup, fuck Boubabi” then you’d have an argument. Thing is, I didn’t. I reacted acccordingly given that it was a stupid joke and a first offence. Same as I didn’t suspend you over a first offence. But once I started to lose count of the complaints it became necessary. Your irrational dislike of me has completely made you incapable of seeing things as they truly are. Instead you have decided that every decision I make has the end goal of making your life miserable.

If you had only one offence as well then sure, I could see your argument. But you don’t so comparing the two situations isn’t the same by any means.

Are you really that far up your own ass that you think you can say and do whatever you want to whoever you want and it’s fine but as soon as someone says anything back it’s hypocrisy? Do you not understand the definition of that word? I told him not to do it. It’s a first offence and he hasn’t done anything else so why would it warrant any kind of further punishment? That’s not being a hypocrite. I’m fsirly certain if I banned people for first offences you would complain I’m abusing my power.

If you think what you have been doing over the past few months is the same as one bad joke that got edited away you seriously need to check your own entitlement issues.

I am making a decision. I’m making a decision to not put up with your crap and you’re acting like a toddler over it. Doesn’t change the fact that ts still not what you brought up. Don’t try to skew history to fit your perspective.

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.
