1. Honestly stunned. We had an incredible team, very much deserved a ton of wins. This was definitely the best team we've put together. But Simon said otherwise! 2. Always had a soft spot for Calgary, but with my new player heading to Moscow next season, it was conflicting to see them beat us, and I guess I'm rooting for them now? 3. After working really hard the last couple seasons Sjin really stepped into his own this season, keeping up with Kerr and Triller, and really giving us that 2nd unit we've needed all this time, and showed a glimpse of what we'll be missing this post-season. 4. You lmao 5. "Played" once, it's alright, too expensive for me, but I like a nice walk with the fellas and perhaps an alcoholic beverage. My hobbies are anything that involves making a spreadsheet, and trying fruitlessly to find a creative outlet that isn't exhausting. 6. I mean there's a couple answers here, Simone Biles is untouchable, but we haven't even seen her full catalog yet. Gretzky's records are mostly untouchable, but can you really compare him to any modern player style-wise? Does Max Verstappen hit untouchable? He's still so early, but he's made a fascinating sport so incredibly boring, and they've changed the rules to try to beat him a couple times now.

Did the same, tried to put Dixon in after I brought it up to Josh that he wasn't on the list (happens every time someone retires after the deadline but before the season), and then when I saved him in there it left it blank, so that could've been what happened to you as well

I'll consider it depending on the team! (anything but Vasteras)

No inactives, and didn't encourage anyone to stay down. Perfect performance!

Jacob's VHLM/VHLE/JST/WJC Manifesto and Theme Week Entry

4/4 gotta yap again soon! -
90 points in the M, 90 points in the E. Is Jillian Woods destined to only score 90 points in the VHL? We’ve proven here that games played doesn’t matter, as 92 games in the M, and 72 in the E still brought us to the very same place. Will she only manage a measly 90 points in 576 games? Will Moscow even want a player that seems so bound to such a total? How long do you hold onto a player knowing they can only score 90 points. If they score 40 in the first season, is it worth even keeping them around? Let the dogs fight for the remaining 50 until they’re all gone? Should Woods just retire once she hits 90, to avoid the pain of never scoring a point again? Does she rush it, or does she see how long she can hold onto her VHL career?

Looking ahead at the potential S94 Team USA roster
jacobcarson877 replied to scoop's topic in Media Spots
Exactly why I picked USA! Should get a shot with Syko, and Richmond, Ninefingers and Martin leading the way up front should be a great combo! -

The VHLM's Top Goal Scorers - A Build Analysis
jacobcarson877 replied to der meister's topic in Media Spots
I remember right around when the hybrid attributes were coming out Shindigs and I put a lot of work into theorycrafting VHLM builds. Interesting to see how the meta shifts little by little on such a small scale, not something you'd notice in the big leagues. I never would have thought some of these builds would be the leaders, but once you lay them out, the similarities are certainly there! And in response next season some will steal the ideas for themselves, and others will find a way to overcome these builds, whether accidentally or not! Either that or STHS is just a whole jumble of nonsense, which is equally likely! -
Offseason tournament to bridge the gap between the regular season and the drafts! GMs draft teams of players who haven't played in the VHLE or VHL yet and we fight it out! Great place to learn to GM, or just to have some fun and meet players you haven't met yet!

More blame @Triller and the rest of the 86 gang for being the last ones out the door! The only question I had was whether I would start the rebuild and pass it along, or just let someone else take it.

Hey everyone! I know you all have read a lot of words from me in the last little bit, but I’ll ask you to read just a little bit more here. When I cam to consciousness in S82 with my second player Landon Wolanin, I was immediately sucked into the world of GMing. @Frank taught me everything I needed to know and then I just kept grabbing onto more and more. I honed my skills in the JST and the WJC. I took over from Frank in the VHLM with my beloved San Diego. I had the honour of coaching in the World Cup. And when my friends (and family) called, I answered. @Dil was stepping down from London, and many of the users that I had come to know, love and respect asked for me specifically to come take them to the next level. And so we did! We won a championship right out of the gate, something that had always been a dream of mine, and a very strange way to start a career. We turned the identity of the London United around, from a perennial wildcard to a championship contender. We got good, and then very mediocre. We learned a lot, and we got better, and better, and better. We went to back to back finals, losing in 7 both times. But both times we came back stronger. We hung 2 (and a half) more jersey retirements in the rafters, and not just for fun. I would have been stupid not to honour their achievements. We’ve had great players, and particularly people come through our roster. I want to specifically thank @Dom, @badcolethetitan, @MubbleFubbles, and @MexicanCow123 for placing their bets on me. For some it paid off in full, and for others I wish I knew what I know now, because I would have done better this time. I want to thank @Triller, @JCarson, @aimkin, @Sjin, @VattghernCZ, and @Uncommon for being my rocks through many seasons now, for being leaders on and off the ice, and for always hyping me up. And lastly I want to thank @Ricer13, who I am actively nominating as my preferred candidate as the next London United GM. I learned much of what I know about VHL GMing from him, and always hoped to do it as well as he does. Hopefully now I can be sure that what remains of my team will be in good hands going forward into a new era of United hockey. With that I will be stepping down as United GM at the conclusion of the S94 Playoffs. I have done everything I wanted to, I have seen through the players that I came to see through, and it is now time for a fresh set of eyes. But don’t worry I’m not going anywhere! I want to get back to being more involved in the BOG, make forum content, enjoy my current player, and get moving on the next chapter of my real life. I want to get involved with the new members again, work on bettering the Pre-VHL experience from start to finish. Thank you all for being a part of the past few seasons, and best of luck for the remainder of S94! @Acydburn@Beketov@Josh

@Beketov@Josh@Acydburn can the draft class switch happen and this player be adjusted? -

I assumed it would be harder to manage roles on that large of a server than just start from scratch, but the implementation does not really matter. I just copied how SHL does it. -
