I’m going to say no. As that replaced the Junior Review it would have had to be done before you got past the VHLE anyway so either the task was “already complete” or you weren’t available to get it at this point anyway.

I feel like we tried that before.

Berocka: the shadow BOG

@Members A few seasons ago, and by a few I mean like 15 or so I think, we re-worked the career point tasks because league surveys showed that people were interested in having more tasks valued lower rather than 2 large tasks valued higher. People also wanted some extra meaning behind the tasks, themes if you will, since the old Rookie Profile and Bio had become basically the same thing. On the whole this change was well received but the amount that the new tasks have been completed has been, shall we say, lackluster. Despite having full careers come and go within the new system for example not one person (as of when we got our data anyway) had completed a bio. Therefore the @BOG set out to re-tool the career point tasks again to try and hopefully give them a bit more of a spark. On the whole these changes aren't as large as the last overhaul, more of a tweak than anything else, but should hopefully make the tasks less spread out (since fewer people di the later tasks) and less specialized to specific time periods. Additionally we are adding, for the first time in the VHL, the ability to podcast (10 minute minimum) your career tasks which should hopefully produce a bit of diversity. The lengths and TPE payouts will remain the same and the new tasks will go into effect immediately (more details on that at the bottom of this post). The new task layout is as follows: As I said, these go into effect immediately so what does that mean for current players? Rather than blocking them until X season like we did (confusingly) last time we have decided to go for the easy route this time. The tasks are open to everyone immediately (the rubrics will be updated soon) with a few small caveats: 1. If you have not already claimed a bio you can write one any time before the end of your career; you no longer need to wait to your 8th season. 2. Veteran Presence has been formally removed; therefore if you have not claimed a VP already you can claim a Career Reflection in it's place. If you have claimed a VP then that is considered the same thing and cannot he claimed again. 3. In the same vein as above, Hello Europe is officially replacing Junior Review. Therefore if you previously completed a Junior Review you are ineligible to complete Hello Europe even if you remain in the VHLE. If you are still within the VHLE and did not claim a JR you may claim Hello Europe. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Maybe I’m just overtired but I’m not sure I follow. How does having it update on the forum side automatically make it any easier? Saves loser some time I guess but doesn’t make it any easier to find your name does it? It’s far more work to set up, especially with Josh currently away (I already tagged him once today for this, no reason to do it again) but a portal implementation would surely be a cleaner solution. Much like trivia really. Beginning of the week Loser sets the questions up, can even still go tag those that want the tag every time. Once set users just make their selections on the portal instead of Google forms and then at the end of the week the correct answers are plugged in and anyone that had it right is automatically awarded the TPE. No giant tag list to claim from, no updater involvement needed, less work all around. With that said I believe that has been our eventual goal for awhile now, implementing it is a bigger issue mind you.

Honestly most of the filters just come from staff getting annoyed at people saying the same things over and over so we filter it into something comical. I assume that’s the same for the circus monkey.

And that’s fine, we have had plenty of teams do a “player of the sim” type of deal before. I remember the golden pick fondly from my own days in Yukon. We just can’t have any money put into it. I get the intention is good but it’s just a slippery slope that the league realistically can’t allow; I’m sure you understand.

If I recall we always found that correlation to exist. The issue was that it didn’t equate to more assists any more than adding more scoring did so it was more cost effective to ignore it.

Rude....I assume anyway, I haven't had time to listen yet. Also we're gonna share a draft class again, aren't you excited?

Big old no dice on that one bud. We cannot allow this for the same reason that we can’t allow people to donate for others: it unfairly incentivizes players to play for your team over perhaps picking others because of monetary reasons that other GM’s may not have access to. I get that you’re trying to do a good thing here but “buying loyalty” has always had to be disallowed.
