  1. Forum > Discord It is sometimes but it’s all percentage based and we’ve made it hit less if you are in the VHL fewer seasons so it depends what n the person. The roughest is when you have boatloads of TPE but just don’t perform well anyway because you get hit hard but it seems pointless to fight. Technically there’s nothing stopping anyone from retiring early mine you.
  2. Welcome to the VHL, WithARevelYell! We're happy to have you. You should have received a PM with some more detailed information, but to get started quickly you will want to head over to the "How to Create a Player" topic.

  5. Holy shit we beat Mexico… what a sim for @Elman Diablo! I mean we still lost game 1 but that wasn’t his fault.

  7. For anyone that didn't see the ping on discord that explained it: I'm busy tomorrow night so double simmed tonight to make up for it. Enjoy the boatload of games.

  9. .930 is a bit high for the league average but honestly I think a lot of people have meta-brain and don’t really realize historically how good VHL goalies usually have been.

  13. The metric is capped TPE per week so PF and other uncapped stuff doesn’t count.
  14. Re-opening this, looking to hire a couple more updaters.
  15. Given how fast the individual ones turn into a clusterfuck I can only imagine what a group one would become… a discord version, which I assume is what you’re implying, would be impossible to manage and a forum one would be messy at best.

  17. Let’s be honest that would be your take on anything g no matter what.
  18. Calaway’s first hat trick so I’ll take that even with a 1-1 sim

  21. The Marlins logo is seriously ill suited to our cup banner design; that is all.

      It is also ill suited to most all graphics!  I struggled but got through it.  I get a break now with Geneva lol

      This is partly why obnoxious text logos are stupid. It would probably be a good bit less vertical if we didn't have the giant "SAN DIEGO MARLINS" right in the middle.

  22. Correct. You can play people at any forward position without penalty in STHS (as we have it set up at least) so formally changing it does nothing but showcase the change on the portal. For that reason we don’t really count them as changes, it’s just a visual thing.
  23. Better yet: stop segregating the league by calling them clickers and acting as if they are second class. Welfare and PF have existed for a decade, you know what we used to call them? Members. I get it, from a GM perspective they aren’t going to get as good as quickly as a max earner but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be bothered with. I know this is gonna be a bit “old man yells at cloud” but back in the day welfare earners were looked at as good draft steals, not something to be ignored. You pick one up in a later round knowing their TPE may be lower but if you can teach them the ways of the league you can make a max earner out of someone that other GM’s just overlooked. I’m not sure when that mindset changed and became “they aren’t worth even considering" but I’m guessing sometime in the 70’s when we had expanded enough that depth died in favour of 6-4-1 exclusively again. Ultimately I think the portal is a double edged sword for this, and I’m not exclusively blaming it at all just mentioning it. On the one hand it makes the league easy and accessible to more people and automates repetitive tasks we normally would have had to manually do. On the other hand though it sequesters people away easier, clicking twice and never seeing anyone else. Back in the day when welfare or even updates were on the forum it was much more likely that people would do other things while they were here collecting their welfare and updating their player. They were already here after all so why not chat a bit. In the same vein other people would see their activity, however minimal, and communicate with them. Being able to hide away on the portal and, at best, in a discord LR keeps people from integrating into the larger community. Obviously I’m not suggesting we drop the portal, it’s benefits far outweigh its drawbacks, but we need to do a better job of seeking out those who do not normally join the greater community rather than simply segregating them off as “those clickers we don’t care about”. A member is a member, regardless of how much they earn, and they deserve to receive the same respect as a max earner would.
