I mean sorta but the idea would be more of how an all-star team would actually be logically built so maybe we go back to the EU vs. NA instead of the free for all ones or whatever.
 
It’s pretty open ended honestly; we aren’t that picky.

Hello @Members!
 
Sorry for the delay in posting this, bad storm hit so I didn't have a chance to this morning as I had planned. It is, however, that time of the season again, theme week! Everyone’s favourite week (aside from the blues) since you all get that sweet extra TPE.
 
Of course, that also means that the Trade Deadline is Monday, February 5th at 3pm EST. This also means that anyone wishing to re-create for the S94 draft can do so starting at midnight that same day.
 
---
 
Trade deadlines are boring though, you wanna know about theme week don’t you? The theme for S92 is:
 
No I do not mean the absolute banger of a song by Smash Mouth but rather the all-star game, or our lack thereforeof. Maybe you want a case for it to return, maybe you just want to talk about who would be involved in it; honestly it's up to you but make it on theme and you're good to go.
 
To earn your Theme Week TPE, write an article, create a graphic, or record a podcast with some connection to “All-Star”. 
 
---
 
In order to claim the theme week bonus of 6 Uncapped TPE, simply submit your Themed PT (Graphic, Media Spot, or 6-TPE Podcast), and claim it as normal. After claiming the PT portion, you can use the same link, and claim the uncapped portion as follows: Claim Uncapped > Other > Doubles Week. (Note: you do not need to post your link in this thread to claim either portion of TPE). 
 
If you have already submitted a Point Task for this week, or are in the midst of claiming a multi-week Media Spot/Podcast, you may still submit a Theme Week PT this week, and claim the capped portion on the next available week, following your multi-week claim. And no, posting something last week that happens to relate to the theme this week doesn’t grant you the theme week bonus.
 
Also, if you have a single job that pays 6+, you may claim the theme week bonus as long as you complete your duties for the week. If you are in the SBA and have completed their most recent Media Week, you may use that to claim the Uncapped theme week bonus, but a PT must be completed this week in order to claim the Capped portion, whether that is completed here or through Affiliate Welfare.
 
Note: Only players who are S93 or older may claim the theme week bonus.

FWIW as well the raffle is ultimately something separate from the charity drive. Aside from people who donated getting a bonus entry the two aren’t connected. Holiday themed giveaways and stuff existed lo no before the charity drive did. It’s just easier to lump all the holiday stuff together to we in one announcement.

Fun times! Nice to see a few of our newer members mixed in with some old hands winning, was a good mix.

Can’t say it has ever come up.
 
We would probably assign a certain limit to when it needs to be applied by but if it’s relatively soon it would probably be fine even if it’s a new player.

Second “fuck it” of the topic but we have a lot of new members since the holiday events and I can do what I want so here’s what’s gonna happen:
 
Any member that joined after Christmas Day and comments in this thread before noon (EST) on Sunday will get 1 entry into each of the 4 tiers! This way the new members potentially get to be involved in the raffle as well.
 
@VHLM Commissioner  and @VHLM GM if you guys could make your new people aware that would be great.

I’m sorry but where is it written that only content that generates TPE counts as valid content? I don’t often agree with your hot takes but this may be one of the worst ones. Like I get that you don’t agree with how much welfare earns vs. PT’s; that’s a fine enough argument, but the fight to get people interested in producing genuine content without payment is hard enough without people throwing out the mindset that VHL content is worthless if you aren’t doing PT’s.
 
Like do you understand how great it is to see new guys like @Chillybro in the sim streams for me every night? I literally have never looked at whether he’s done a PT or not, ai don’t care. He’s active, he’s engaged, and he’s enjoying himself. That’s what matters!
 
Again HARD disagree. The raffles are done as a way to give back to the members and that means ALL the members, not just those that are well off enough to give some extra money. Now those who donated DO get rewarded with extra entries but I have absolutely no interest in making it exclusive to them. Any active members deserve a chance to win something; you shouldn’t have to pay for that chance even if it’s for charity.

Better late than never right? I promise we didn't forget about the holiday prize raffle! The draw will be taking place Sunday, January 28th, around 7pm EST. As previously mentioned the prize pool consists of 14 prizes spread over 4 tiers.
 
Tier 1 - 5 Winners
5 uncapped TPE
 
Tier 2 - 5 Winners
$15 donation equivalent (IE you get the reward choice of a $15 donation without donating, can be claimed even if you have donated this season.)
 
Tier 3 - 3 Winners
Video Game of your choice (up to a max of $90 CAD, on any system)
 
Tier 4 - 1 Winner
Nintendo Switch (OLED) console OR an NHL Jersey of the winner's choice.
 
The draw will be streamed to my twitch channel which can be found here: https://twitch.tv/beketov_vhl
 
The draw will be at random and the number of entries you have is based on the number of 12 days of Christmas threads you responded to. Everyone who responded to at least 1 day has at least 1 entry and everyone, staff included, are allowed to win. As usual if you win something and would prefer to receive the prize from the tier below you can do that. Additionally we will not exchange any prize for cash value but a difference in prize that costs the same or less can be negotiated under certain circumstances.
 
Good luck to everyone and I’ll see you all for the draw on Saturday!

We should definitely hold a March madness style bracket for the most adorable VHL pup award.

About time this doesn’t say “he hasn’t held any major positions” when give been blue longer than anyone; even if I still don’t remember that VHLM GM stint haha.
 
Whoever made the choice to use Papa Nihil for the graphic was a genius, kudos.
