Could we chart this as “commishes killed in relation to time” though? I mean I’ve been at this way longer!

We really can’t. Our server provider literally thought they were getting DDOSed last time because of how poorly it was coded.

You know what’s crazy? For the first time since S64 or something (I don’t recall when I started simming the M, I know it was a few seasons before the VHL) I am not simming and therefore can’t just claim 12 Monday morning when I wake up and move on with my life. That creates a complication during theme week because I can still get the bonus from my job pay but I need to actually complete minor tasks to finish up. Therefore I’m here with one of these new fangled rambly 590’s (drop a comment if you get that reference). This paragraph alone was probably close to the word count but anyway: - I was without power for 65.5 hours so that sucked, still kinda trying to adjust to having lights again, it feels wrong. That’s part of why I’ve been pretty absent this past weekend though. Newborn already dropped my activity levels a bit (obviously) but that on top of having no power for nearly three days while she has a cold (at 10 days old, that’s just mean) pretty much did me in. Hell my phone was dead 95% of the time. I’m alive though and didn’t get washed out to sea so… hi. - I have seen some rumblings (via @Tate) about how we should have a third blue and that’s probably true, @Josh and I have discussed it. Especially since we came very close to having baby brain at the same time (his munchkin is due next month I believe) it’s probably not a great risk. We’re just trying to decide on the right person for the job since APPARENTLY I keep scaring everyone away. - Papa is playing kinda mediocre this season which is annoying. Still, we’re doing alright. I set the franchise record for playoff wins last season and am only 56 away from taking the regular season crown as well so hopefully I can get there. - Finally had to use the portal trivia tool so that was cool, hadn’t used it before. Questions were easy. What the hell do you normal people do for the last 2 TPE though? Oh right, PC is a thing. Maybe I’ll go and do that now.

FWIW my power has been off for the last 62 hours on top of having a newborn with a cold… so yeah the VHL hasn’t exactly been a priority.

Should I just do that now before I read further?

I misunderstood. So VHLM and VHL draft dates would still be set at creation but VHLE would move depending on TPE? It makes sense on the surface but it might be confusing if someone gets drafted to the VHL before the VHLE. Mind you depending on dates I guess that could happen now anyway and it would probably be rare.

Draft date being set at creation is still an integral part of the VHL though. I get other leagues handle it this way and while it has some advantages I stand by the fact that it’s far too easy to cheese with people generally being asked if not forced to do so, which can result in a lack of activity. What I mean is that if we say “your draft date is the off season after cutoff X” then what you’ll get is people earning up to X-1 so that they can have a full “uncapping” season. This congests the VHLM with top end players who don’t need to learn and are just taking ice time from new players while also making it so that people may have weeks at a time where they are told to earn nothing in order to be “optimal.” I know I went inactive in the EFL because of this because I was literally told for 3/4 of a season to earn nothing or else I would go over 199 and lose my optimal “uncapping season.” Personally I find that drawback outweighs the benefit.

It’s true that something can be simultaneously the best solution right now and potentially not needed later. While it would hardly be the CLEANEST thing I have always stood by the fact that removing the VHLE would actually be easier than removing teams. Removing teams, as we have done before, involves having to distribute their players around to the other teams and is inherently messy. However with all VHLE players being also drafted to VHLM and VHL teams it would just be a matter of setting the TPE limits and pushing people to where they belong. But yes, right now I stand by the fact that the VHLE is still our best course of action.

You could argue it’s the lack of games more than the lack of team mind you and if so that wouldn’t change anything aside from rushing the GM’s into a decision and making the GM’s in the playoffs focus on scouting while they also are trying to win.

I’m not sure what I’m looking at but I know that mobile really hates it hah
