Hellooooo VHL! I’m fishy, and I’m currently a college student. I’ve decided to write a paper about the VHL, and I’d like your input on a few things. This is, of course, completely voluntary! If you respond to this with your thoughts, please be sure to indicate whether you are comfortable with me including your statement in my paper. I will include only the information you provide and your username. If you would like to use a pseudonym, please reach out to me directly, and we can work that out together! If you’re active on discord and I refer to activity there by a user, I will not include the #0000 at the end to maintain anonymity. 

 

1. Why did you join the VHL? What’s made you stay?
2. Are you on the league discord? Why or why not? What do you think the discord is for in relation to the league?
3. Do you have any thoughts about “anti-American sentiment” that has been a reason why people have left the league? What do you think it is? What is the moderation like on this topic? Note: If you could include whether you’re from the United States, that’d be great! It’s obviously not necessary, so if you have thoughts but don’t wish to disclose that kind of information, don’t feel hindered!
4. How do you feel about the efforts that have been made to boost activity on forums? Why do you think Commissioners are pushing for it? If you’re a Commissioner, care to elaborate? Do you think the efforts have been effective? Do you agree with the efforts?
5. Would you consider the VHL to be a fantasy league? Why or why not?

 

If you could quote the question to which your responding, that'll be super helpful. You can answer as many or as few as you'd like - any and all thoughts are helpful! 

 

Let me know if you all have any questions/concerns for me, and I’ll be happy to answer! Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

1) I joined the VHL with a couple friends trying to learn more about hockey as a sport, people made me stay as the community it's really tight. 

2)I am, as an assistant GM it's a key tool to communicate with every gm or player every time I have the need to. 

3)anti-American sentiment? Would you care to elaborate? I don't feel like that's a thing honestly, this league has people from places all over the world so I don't really feel like anti-American would be a thing, yeah there might be some USA chants when a world cup event comes but that's about it. Before you ask, I'm from Argentina. 

4)honestly? I'm against them, sadly it answers to the views of the older people around here that wants some things to take priority on a world where the communications are faster, yeah it's a good tool for media and the update web app it's brilliant the best I've ever seen on a Sim league, but the argument that people will only chat inside his own timezone it's a falacy as teams have ausies, Americans and Europeans having timezones well spread and they share even while they are in opposite sides of the world. 

5)no,a fantasy league use real life statistics and analyze them to get scoring, a Sim league simulates the game using no real life statistic or measurement.

5)any suggestions for the coaches? 

6) are you happy with the team? 

After a heated discussion that ended with him getting shipped out of Yukon.
Byrne get's back to the team that bought him into the league.

Having played 5 games already he manages to snatch over 1 point per game with 3 goals on the last 2.

Byrne, a natural lockdown defenseman, it's slowly maturing, by suggesting of it's coaches onto a two way threat that should manage to disrupt defenses by being both the last man defending and the long range shooter that Miami desperately needs to keep any playoffs hopes.
We can only hope that this last performances develop into a consistent and exciting season for all the Marauders fans across the world. 

The Irish beast is slowly awakening from his slumber so everyone on the VHlm should be aware of it. 
He will fight and won't take any prissioners on his path to be the best player this league will ever see.
