You know… that’s correct. I’m an idiot and was thinking of it backwards but yes, NY finished worse so their odds are better already. I think we made that contingency for if NY passed LA but we didn’t adjust our line of thinking for it.

INDEX Please send lines directly to me either on the forum or on discord. If you don't send in new lines your last used lines will be. @InstantRockstar @Acydburn @hedgehog337 @Doomsday @Rayzor_7 @thadthrasher Draft Lottery odds (Pre-Tournament) 1. Riga: 30.0% 2. Helsinki: 22.5% 3. Toronto: 17.5% 4. Prague: 12.5% 5. New York: 10.0% 6. L.A: 7.5% Lottery Results:

I do hate doing this but rules are rules and the Louth Rule was once again broken. While the league does understand that @InstantRockstar had a rough time personally at the end of the season there was still more time earlier to get the required backup games in and sadly that was not done. Since LA missed 2 backup games the following punishments will apply: 1. NY Shall receive the higher odds during the lottery tournament given that they were tied for points (and only lost on the tiebreaker) and the two extra games may have had an effect on standings. 2. LA shall be required to play their backup for 10 starts in S86. 3. LA shall be docked $2 Million in cap space for S86. - @Commissioner

I’m so good I can rig without even simming.

I’ll do my best.

Wow. Honestly I think I predicted us losing in 7 so really did not expect a 4 game sweep. A way closer series than that 4-0 implies for sure. Back to the finals though! Papa’s 5th trip (probably getting close to some kind of record, @Victor would know) so hopefully we can finish things off on the right side for once.

Do we though?

FWIW I lost 1 game against London. This has been a fun goalie battle though. Papa and Wumbo stars 1 and 2 in both the games.

@Fire Fletcher gonna be a fun battle bud haha

1. Well my first player predates the VHLM so he didn't play there and my next bunch it was a waivers system so I didn't get any choice. Honestly I don't recall the first team I actually chose because I don't even know what player it was. I can say with confidence though that my first VHLM team was the almighty Jonkoping Warriors (RIP). 2. Probably more than I should as a functional adult. I pop in pretty frequently to check on things, make sure the drama isn't getting out of hand, read some interesting articles, that sort of thing. I guess it kinda comes with the job right? 3. I mean I don't dislike where I live by any stretch, the maritimes are beautiful. Hard to top Scandinavia though for quality of life so probably somewhere up there. I mean I can deal with the cold already so I'll be fine. 1. Vancouver vs. DC is the only undecided series thus far, who takes it and moves on to face the Cinderella Story Phoenix? Alternatively if this is answered after tonight, who do you have going to the Continental Cup finals from both sides? 2. What's most important to you and why: Cups, Individual Awards, or the HoF? 3. What is your go to Potato Chip flavour?

Anderson would like a word about someone usurping his throne. Almost made it through a whole article without a shot at me, I was getting worried I’ll admit.

You serve a specific purpose, what can I say.

That’s how you finish a series! Revenge time Warsaw!

I also tell users to fuck off

Just to be clear, if you mean me then you should know that the welcome PM and topic are both auto-generated as a way of giving people information and a spot to introduce themselves. I couldn’t possibly have time to welcome every single member that joins.

I’m kinda amazed you could even read it. The formatting made it nearly impossible.

No thanks, no need to feed the drama tonight. Staff can see edits but we also respect, especially in an instance where their seems to be regret like this, the choice of a member. It was edited for a reason, I simply wanted to make it clear that calling it “mistake” and editing away the text doesn’t make it go away.

Honestly people need to learn that not everything is personal and how to have a discussion without making it so. Also that causing drama right after a punishment is likely just going to result in more drama and more punishment, it’s an endless circle. To my first point though. Take @Gustav and I. We differ in opinions on a wide variety of subjects, pretty vastly most of the time. So why would I hire him to be green? Because I think he’s be good at the job. The fact is we can differ on a lot of things without me thinking and treating him like a horrible person because he understands how to have a discussion and not then if I do a giant heated argument for no reason. A lot of the time I feel like it’s less about mod overreach / abuse or being SJW’s or whatever and far more about just remembering that every username on here has a person attached to it and you should treat those usernames no different than you would an actual person on the street. You can have a conversation without it needing to blow up into an argument. I just want to say as well as a final point that no one takes a staff position here because they hate the league and want to see it or it’s members burn. It’s a tough, thankless job with way more pressure and stress than it should have. So if your argument starts with (and FTI I know I’m quoting you but I don’t mean yours or even @Tate’s this is just a general thing) the idea that staff has it out for you then 99% of the time you are incorrect. We just want to keep the peace. This has been overtired 4am Bek; I hope it made sense

We reserve certain powers for the big boys I guess. Believe me, “mistake” is an accurate take here…

You know staff can see edits right?
