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.

Welcome to the VHL, lorthion! 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. That topic will offer you detailed information about how to use the VHL Portal to create your player and get you started. We also highly recommend joining the VHL Discord where there is a channel dedicated to helping new members with any questions that they may have about the league or improving their player. Once your player is made VHLM General Managers will be in touch with you about joining their teams. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you have here or in your create-a-player thread. We're happy to have you in the community and we hope you stick around!

Papa Emeritus - Reaction Time

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?

Hey look, I'm doing this again! I could probably have just started the lottery tourney sims and claimed simmer pay this week but whatever, I wanted to try out trivia anyway with all the controversy about it lately... So let's start with trivia shall we? Honestly I think the idea of trivia being too difficult and needing to have answer sheets to be a tad overblown. Yes, I have obviously been here for 15 years so I know things the new members don't but I also have a notoriously bad memory so that hardly helps me much. I feel like most instances of "this is too hard" could be solved by asking for help in the trivia section of the discord rather than trying to find it for an hour or just guessing and then complaining about the question. No, it isn't meant to be completed in a minute, but it's also not likely to take you an hour. People need to be wiling to ask for help, there's no shame in that. If anything I find the trivia channel gets responses faster than most, people are here to assist. Playoffs have started and Moscow is up 2-0 so far over London after a huge game 1 and an acceptable game 2. I'm not really getting my hopes up since they have been dashed far too many times, especially with Papa, but it's a nice start at least. Speaking of Papa, he officially needs 41 wins in the regular season next season to take control of the Regular Season franchise wins record (he already has playoffs). That is doable but dare I say unlikely. For reference I had 38 wins this season and while I have managed 48 and 47 before the team is getting up there in age and most of our main core is already gone or retiring after this season so is it doable? I don't know. Would be something cool to have for sure but I'm concerned. Dear Simon, can I just get 41 wins and 7 shutouts to take both of those records? That would be great. I do have the highest S% for any Moscow goalie that played more than 1 season so that's cool. Getting away from Papa here, I'm going into my last season which means I'm starting to think about my next player. I haven't touched the hybrid attributes yet since putting them in so this is a whole new world for me. I'm considering going defence again actually which I've only done once and that was during PP2 so I had Holik to look at for most of the time. Plus he only played 7 seasons and 1 o those was at forward so is it a bad idea? Probably but I'm still thinking of trying it out.

We should probably just put a disclaimer on trivia stating "if there is a discrepancy between an answer on the portal and on the forum; the forum is correct" but that assumes people even look in both places. Not that you asked but a lot of the time the reason for those discrepancies is because the portal is based on STHS databases which we didn't have for a pile of seasons so we had to try and rebuild them which led to some problems in certain seasons and a fun notable issue in that there are two players named Brick Wahl so their stats are just listed doubled up, or at least they were (maybe we fixed that). Anyway point is the forum was just manual stuff added up over the years, usually by @Victor , and not fighting with a database meant it was much easier to get right plus we can track things that obviously STHS doesn't track. Legit curious which question this was.

9/10 times the answer is "go to the HoF section on the forum and there's an obvious spreadsheet that shows it." There are a couple of questions that are arguably a tad bit too hard but on the whole nothing should be taking you close to an hour to find. Then that sounds like a you problem . A little harsh I know but the point is that if you are refusing to ask for help on questions you find hard is the answer "make the questions easier" or is the answer "use the resources available to you?" I would wager the latter.

That is correct. It always used to just be season 6, 7, and 8 but if people stayed down awhile we were having instances of people in their like second season being depreciated which didn’t seem fair.

The banking wasn’t a choice thing. Everyone started at 30 (catch up TPE wasn’t a thing yet) and carryover couldn’t be applied until a user hit the VHL.

Quintuple now, Nyko hates the WJC confirmed.

That’s an old joke that probably doesn’t need to be a filter anymore haha. Don’t worry about it.

Gotta set up that triple gold club early my man!
