Hey there @Enorama! Welcome back, Las Vegas is looking to bounce back from a rather dismal season and start fresh for this up and coming one. So with that in mind, we'd like to offer you 2nd pairing minutes. So are you feeling lucky? If so quote this and come on down to Sin City!

Happy birthday VHL!!!

I'm interested!

So hey! Guess who's back? Before I shamelessly go off on this season's theme week. I first want to apologize for my more than lackluster activity as of late. School, as it's winding down to the last week or two, is starting to throw everything at once for me. Heck I have a major 2 part assessment coming tomorrow and Tuesday on a subject I really need to boost my marks in. So uh... yeah. I know I haven't been putting as much time on the VHL as I used to. Heck I'll admit that I'm not doing my part as GM to keep LR activity up, but once this week passes, I should be able to contribute more to the VHL and LVA as a whole. So again sorry for my lack of activity, and thank you for putting up with me. NOW. Moving on, let's talk about the VHLE. I'll be honest, this announcement was a surprise to me when I first heard of it. We didn't just expand with new teams, we expanded with a fucking whole other league. It's was a shocker alright. Though with the announcement of the VHLE, it means a lot more implications that apply to both the VHLM and VHL. With the stand-in for the KHL now in the VHL, this means that the VHLM is hammering down on it's purpose of being a developmental league. I think it's well established that your goal in the VHLM, in terms of GMing, is not to win cups but to develop players. The announcement of the VHLE emphasizes that. Personally I feel like the VHLE further removes the competitiveness of the M in a way. Now before you start bombarding the thread with objections, let me further explain on what I mean. Yeah the VHLM might still be competitive. There will be teams who want to win a cup, there are M players who desire to win something in the M. But with the VHLE as a competitive middle ground, it removes the competitiveness of the M as players can easily just move up to the E for a better competitive experience. The VHLM will still have some compete to it, but with the E, it will look much, much more like the CHL of sorts. A complete developmental league meant to hone the skills of potential talent into stardom. I personally don't think this is a bad thing. In contrast honestly. It really makes us M GMs think of the M as solely as developmental. Something I've started to really take into consideration as of late. I wanna be the guy people look back to when they talk about how they got hooked into the VHL. So far, I don't think I've done a good job, but I'm still trying to do so whenever I have the time. So now let's talk about the VHL. You can choose to skip the VHLE entirely and just go to the VHL if you desire. However, my question is why? First of all, you need to hit the VHL cap requirements WHILE you're in the M to be able to skip the E, and that's not a super easy feat. For your average clicker or new player, you're going through the E nonetheless. I'm not sure how this will play in terms of advantages in the sims. All I know is that depreciation seasons will only count as soon as you start playing in the VHL, so you technically can play more seasons in the VHLE. However unlikely it might be. I think spending more time as a player in the E and having some nice competition with a pretty level playing field is pretty cool. Not counting towards your retirement seasons is just an added bonus. If you max earn, you're most likely going to play only 1 season in the E, and that's alright. One shot is all it takes right? Anyways, the VHLE is such a cool concept and I really am excited to see what this new league would bring. It's to the point where I honestly wanna recreate earlier, but I'm still on the fence for that. Hopefully some of my input/thoughts of the E regarding the two other leagues might find some interesting conversation, but yeah. I apologize, again, for my lack of activity, but it does feel good to spend half an hour typing a long ass article. (740 Words)

Hey there @seboi! I'm JigglyGumballs, GM of the Las Vegas Aces! We are a team that prides itself in developing future stars! I'll be blunt here, we're having a terrible season. The Aces that previously dominated have now been reduced to a bottom feeder. However, no matter how bad the odds are against us, we strive to be the best we can. That's where you come in! Yes, you! We're offering you our Backup Goalie position. As our backup goalie, you'll be guaranteed starts in this season, but primarily, we would like to offer you the ability to learn how the league works and establish youself as a star! So are you feeling lucky? Well come on down to Sin City by quoting this post and replying with "Going all in!"

Niceee. I thought I recognized that model. I thought it was a Panzer IV at first lol.

Forgot to ask this but is the tank a Tiger I??

That's it, I'm recreating as an Italian when my player retires

When 3 bots lead the team in scoring that game

Welcome back @Kmatt! I'm JigglyGumballs, GM of the Las Vegas Aces! We're looking to offer you Top 9 Minutes for this season! I'll be blunt here and say that we're definitely not in a position to compete. Heck we don't even have a defenseman. However, we are still looking to at least provide an active locker room experience and help you be a top prospect in the upcoming drafts! So are you feeling lucky? Well come on down to Sin City and "Go For Broke!"

So here we are, back at it again with another AGM announcement! Before I announce the next Las Vegas AGM, I would first like to thank each and every one of you who applied to this position. The fact that I only have one AGM spot open is one of the things I hate the most. As everyone who's applied has been a great candidate for AGM. Again, my DMs are open if you ever need any advice. I may not be the best (especially regarding trades) in terms of GMing and all that, but I'll try my best to offer up any advice I can give. So to keep things a bit shorter compared to last time, the new LVA AGM is....

Why did I think the title was business related? Like for a second I thought you were gonna talk about the 20% increase in revenue compared to the last fiscal year or something.

QUICK PRESS CONFERENCE FOR TPE: Answer these 6 questions for 2 Capped TPE. To claim link your response and go to "Claim Capped" -> "Press Conference". You can claim this PC for this week or next week. 1. How do you feel about Emi stepping down? 2. We've had several blowout losses this season. How is that making you feel? 3. What do you think about our defense? 4. The VHLE (Victory Hocker League: Europe) was announced recently! What do you think about it? 5. How will the VHLM change with the introduction of the VHLE? 6. Cats or dogs?

But what if I do??

You want one

Claiming Week (3/3)

I'm surprised you haven't noticed with all the 7 bombs we've been giving up

Ha ha...very funny

@Juicestop bullying me smh

So it is unfortunate to announce that @Emi will be stepping down as LVA's AGM, and before I go further with this, I want to give a big thanks to Emi for being my first AGM. It was a real pleasure working with you, and I'm glad that you were able to put up with me trading all my picks away. With Emi stepping down, this is now the perfect opportunity as now the Las Vegas Aces is looking for a new AGM to take the reigns and work along side me to run this team! Again, I wanna remind anyone applying that I'm not the best when it comes to teaching how things go, but that doesn't mean I won't take in anyone who's new. So if you wanna get into GMing in the VHL, please apply as this is a great opportunity to get to know the league from a managerial standpoint! As was last time, the things I'm looking for in an AGM remains the same: 1. Be able to run STHS to do line changes whenever I'm not available to. 2. To help promote locker room activity on Discord and the Forum LR (If we don't forget about the Forum LR in the first week). 3. To bonk me in the head for trading picks away. Keep in mind that it is necessary that you use as much force as possible when you are bludgeoning me in the head. 4. To do weekly pressers If you're interested in the position, please leave a reply or even DM me on Discord and I'll send you application questions shortly. I've been pretty busy this week, so sorry in advance if I don't get to you immediately. I'll remind everyone who's interested again that giving me constant blunt force trauma to the head is very enticing
