hi @zompacttoo! My name is Jacob and I am the Assistant General Manager of the San Diego Marlins! We have gotten off to an amazing start this season and look to be playoff contenders. Where do you fit in? Our roster has been filling up super fast (probably because everyone wants to play for us) but we have 1 more spot, hopefully with your name written on it! We hope to offer you the best learning experience, with plenty of active members to learn from, a competitive roster to win with, and our secret weapon, world-class GM: @Frank! If that sounds like something you're interested in quote this message and reply with #jointhebigfish and we'll send you a contract right away.

oh captain my captain

soon i shall know my place in society

Alright time to flex a little here. So @JardyB10 made an excellent hecking podcast that everyone should check out ( https://vhlforum.com/topic/120320-jardys-nodesode-17-identity-confusions/ ) and mentioned this week’s earning leaders and I thought it would be fun to talk about that some more. So in first is my recent recruit, @JCarson who earned a whopping 45TPE this week, which I didn’t even know was possible but it definitely is. 2nd is @leandrofg, fellow Wranglers prospect and just an excellent member. 3rd is yours truly. Bleh. 4th! @Eynhallow! Red Wolves teammate, tearing it up! Sorry to the few I’m skipping now I haven’t interacted with you at all that I remember. 9th! @Plate , grinding as always for those top minutes with San Diego, and making good on them. 10th! @Brandon, another Red Wolves teammate and my captain! 14th@Kendrick! 16th@der meister! 21st@badcolethetitan! 24th@Insypher ! So many Red Wolves putting in the work this week (yes I know graduation bonus helped but shut up). Anyways, that’s words and hopefully some more TPE in the bank for me, which is what I’m really here for. Happy earning everyone!

I'm hoping that some sort of formal ruleset gets put in place involving this since we saw multiple recreates allowed to do something like this at the beginning of this season. Hopefully that's a good sign!

My goal is to feature in Jardy's Hecking Podcast as many times as I can

@Zackcan have them on weekends

claiming week of May 1st

hey this guy's pretty good

I’m bored so I’m going to just write something about first sims of the teams I’m involved with. Alright so Calgary got 3 games in the first sim, going 1-2. I’m sure they’re alright with that result, despite the lack of points. Nothing really unexpected happened so I guess all there is to do is wait for more sims to help balance it out. They started off with a big 5-2W over NYA, and got all of their players firing on all cylinders. Next was a 5-1L against DCD and despite the score, it really wasn’t a bad game, and they kept up in the shot department. Just hit a hot goalie I guess. And yeah the third game Seattle happened and no one should be surprised. Istanbul waits for some sims. San Diego played 2 games and grabbed 3 of 4 points in back to back shootout games. Great performances by Clueless Wallob kept them in both games, and the Marlins got scoring throughout their lineup. They hope to use their depth to overpower teams. They were shooting well in both games and should be happy getting points out of both games on their charge to the playoffs.

F - Druss Deathwalker best of luck everyone! and i think we're all done here now @fromtheinside@Spartan

i think this guy wants Ryan Li

definitely some important things mentioned in this conversation and obviously we've been having some version of this conversation for... forever really but heres a few things I have to note: - i really really believe now that regular returning players have absolutely no reason to not just skip to the VHLE. They don't need development or learning opportunities they need a competitive environment that they can work hard and earn in. There's no reason they should be stuck capping out in the M, to then cap out in the E. I'd rather a 100TPE returning player in the E than a 200TPE vet in the M before the season has even started. first gens are competing against each other and its purely a learning environment for them. That sounds exactly like the mission of the M, and we've already seen players skip the M draft, we just need a solid rules update to support that. - the JST is incredible. I think that's a huge reason why I agree with fresco that picks shouldn't be traded. Start every VHLM season with a fantasy draft of the remaining non capped first gens and new members. Each team is pretty well balanced and everyone gets to experience the VHLM as both a competitive player and a role member on a team. Waivers still join teams like normal and GMs can improve their team by pitching well to waivers and building a good reputation. The competitive window is open for every team every season so long as the Gm makes semi-intelligent moves. And, if they suck, guess what they can try again next season without worry of the draft damage they've done. - this also makes the VHL and VHLE drafts far more important, because you can truly see who among the first gens is earning well and making a name for themselves, and returning players make a name for themselves on waivers with VHLE teams. - This also gets more active players on VHLE teams, instead of being a resting place for clickers who got pushed out of VHL spots. The VHLE becomes a competitive environment instead of just another roadblock to the VHL. We know people want to skip up to the E anyways.

I'm here to make friends with as many trophies as I can

I have always thought this was an issue, but hopefully the commissioners and board of governors continue to help recreates intent on skipping to the E to allow them to do that. Hopefully this past draft helped them figure out the plan on that. Either let the VHLM be for first gens and truly make it a learning platform like the JST, or give GMs some ability to build decent teams. Just my 2 cents since someone asked lmao

this format is very much great I like doing all of them, so doing all of them at once is simply efficient

if you write 2000 words a week for the whole season, you could claim VHLE power rankings for the rest of your career. that would be insane but i also could absolutely see you doing that out of sheer boredom excellent work on this it looks really good and i definitely read like 3 of the sections and they were all great PS istanbul criminally low but i know you couldn't buff us because of bias and all that blah blah blah but i know you know we're the best
