You aren’t the first to do it and you won’t be the last.

While I never expressly asked for this crackdown (there is a glitch at least one person was exploiting which SHOULD be cracked down on but that’s different) I will say that I could have sworn we re-outlawed it when we changed the trivia to the portal. Looking through the announcements and the rules though it appears we didn’t, it was just implied by the fact that questions get randomized. I still think the questions are reasonable enough that people shouldn’t need someone else to tell them what to pick but that’s beyond the point. As for why this was a “mod issue” … I present two things: 1. The CoC specifically mentions cheating which if this is interpreted as such it would cover. Therefore that falls under mod jurisdiction. 2. The aforementioned glitch is more of a dev thing which I think is where this all started, thus @Dil’s involvement at all. I do wish we would have been consulted before any kind of crackdown since there’s obviously a discussion to be had but that didn’t happen. I’m not sure exactly what evidence is present and perhaps it indicates something more than just a pool of answers but I’m uncertain. That’s not necessarily Dil’s fault, I just didn’t know anything was going on aside from the aforementioned glitch abuse.

It will be updated with new info when we hit the off season. We started using it a bit ago instead of our usual “off season schedule” but it’s the same basic idea. Can’t really update it before the season ends because playoffs vary so much in length depending how they go. Regular season we know the number of games so it’s much easier to estimate a month ahead of time when it’ll end. Not in the slightest, some of us are just old guard and remember a time where the forum was the only means of communication so we use it. If an article seems interesting I will read it. The “view new content” button at the top is amazing for this because it’ll just show you every new topic or post that you haven’t seen yet instead of having to painfully go through sub forums 1 at a time. I wouldn’t agree with that stance at all but again, I’m old, and am used to the various places things might be whereas newer members expect everything to be, shall we say, more organized. The nature of people submitting their own questions though kinda makes it impossible to consolidate everything and even if we could I wouldn’t want to. Yes, trivia is not always the easiest (though some questions are painfully easy) because it’s not meant as a way to just min/max as fast as possible and be done in 2 minutes. Take it as an opportunity to maybe find out some league history that’s interesting. As an aside, 90% or so of the questions have their answer in the HoF forum. It’s mostly a matter of deciphering the best way to find it. Honestly it just blows my mind that anyone would have the mindset that it is, especially around half a year (you said third season, so like 24ish weeks) in. I know we have people who literally never come to the forum but it just kinda breaks my heart because this is literally all we had so it was designed in a way to be used. Personally I think the forum is a far better communication tool than discord really. I mean you wrote this 3 days ago and I’m responding now. You think that’s doable on a discord?

And this was made like right after he was drafted, or at least a few weeks after. I specifically remember Toast wanting to wait until the draft to get it. So yeah, I’ve had it awhile.

Pretty much. Unless you’re Chicago and then somehow you have 8.

You know that and I know that but does someone brand new know that? They just are an insurmountable mountain and 8 minutes of ice time, where is the incentive to stick around?

The problem that has always existed with that is simply that 400 TPE is far too high of a threshold for the VHLM. Imagine coming in as a fresh first gen with 30 TPE and seeing teams filled with second and third year guys with over 4x as much TPE as you. How much would you really want to stick around knowing you’d be buried in the depth chart behind those guys for multiple seasons? Even at 250 we started to get this problem a little bit, it would be rather unbearable at a cap of 400.

Because I’m an idiot and just looked on the goalie stat page quickly and forgot to account for Chicago, DC, and Calgary haha. Will check them individually later unless you’ve got the numbers in front of you.

A little late on this but I try to keep the @VHL GM's updated on their required backup starts at the deadline so I will do so now. If your team name is bold you're good to go already, the number indicates the starts out of the 8 required. Calgary: 7/8 Chicago: 8/8 D.C: 8/8 Davos: 8/8 Helsinki: 5/8 London: 8/8 LA: 0/8 Malmo: 14/8 Moscow: 7/8 NY: 3/8 Prague: 9/8 Riga: 4/5 Seattle: 3/8 Toronto: 0/8 Vancouver: 4/8 Warsaw: 7/8

Each league is run as it’s own sim so STHS actually isn’t a factor at all. It’ll just take whatever players we plug into it.

Low blow I had intended to change it more often and have it always feature Papa instead of a traditional render so it would kinda be a running gag but that obviously didn’t happen haha
