Ledge

As the current curator and protector of the Victory Hockey League's famous lawless land known as the Thunderdome. After the post-game debrief in the general chatroom, I have collected the various theories that have formed in the aftermath.
 
1. Achilles is their very own person, and is a troll.
Up yours, woke moralists. The most obvious selection that I'm going to offer is that this is a true first generation member on an absolute rampage against the Victory Hockey League moderation team. A victim of Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson's incel bait, Achilles has bite the onion and is here to create chaos. Hijacking Jruutu's thread that was previously hijacked by Tate, and an attempted hijacking by OMD is the leading evidence we have here. Once the tap was dry his creation of 3+ threads in the media spot section to juice up the attention point towards this theory. The various references to snowflakes and leftism are an obvious troll attempt.
 
2. Achilles is their very own person, and is not okay.
One of the theories floating around the post-game chat was that Achilles was having a Ye-style mental break. He made a lot of references to being a gay trans man, which is genuinely one of the most discriminated groups in history. I have a hard time believing this theory because of certain language indicators that have been frowned upon in the trans community in recent years. This is one of the saddest results of this is the true theory and I hope they can get the hope help if it is true.
 
3. Achilles is former VHL member JACK JOHNSON!
I have got to admit, this is my favorite theory. With the similar spelling, and similar points being parroted against the moderation team, the relation to the master of multis, Jack Johnson, is uncanny. Do you think Mr. Joey Pizza of critically acclaimed party school Arizona State University wouldn't create a Canadian alter-ego in an attempt to continue undermining the sanctity of the Victory Hockey League? The main detraction to this claim is of an alleged discord call between notable members of the VHL and Achilles, which claim he is NOT a 13 year old as previously alleged by Dil.

4. Achilles is former VHL member KACHUR!
Truly the king of VHL trolling, Kachur was a fiend that used an alt account to spew shit on as many members as possible, almost got hired as a moderator, but did lead directly to Dil being hired as a mod.  This final point is the most notable - the former competent moderation team was already running smoothly, but Kachur creating a shit storm on the forums and discord led to this explosion of VHL's "over moderation".  There is no evidence of this theory being true.  Writing styles between Kachur and Horcrux were generally consistent, and both are different to Achilles nonsense off-brand of English.  Of course, this could be a direct way to throw people off of his scent.
 
5. Achilles is current VHL member FISHY!
The favourite pick of conspiracy theorists across the Victory Hockey League - an inside job. The DAY after Fishy is no longer a moderator, "Achilles" pops off on anti-moderator rhetoric. This wacky behavior by "Achilles" can truly and utterly only lead us to one conclusion: fishy in either an act of REVENGE, or to show their worth to the moderation team wanted to throw shade on Baozi and his moderation gang. What is fishy's end game in all of this? Cement their legacy as VHL's best moderator and force Josh and Trollketov to name them new VHL HEAD MOD! 
 
Everyone please inform me of any theories you may have regarding the user Achilles. Remember: these are all just theories! Only "Achilles" truly knows what was going down, which will certainly lead to their legacy of being one of the members in VHL's history.

GO SHARTASS!

I personally would prefer if a fight broke out. 

I think I may be putting in too much effort for my TPE.

Ah it's been too long since we had a "sims need to happen at exactly the time I want them to happen" thread. Not taking a shot at you but this is something that pops up every so often and it's usually from someone newer who doesn't (yet) get how tough it can be for a simmer to do things exactly on time, every day without fail. That point has been made, though, so I won't harp on it.
 
Something else to keep in mind is that our simmers do coordinate how sims play out over the course of a season--it doesn't really matter if a set of sims is happening later on in the day; your season will start and end on the same days as the other two leagues, with the same number of games in between, and very rarely will your simmer miss a day altogether. In the case that that does happen, too, it's more than likely you'll see a day made up after the fact (and then you'll get 4 games instead of 2).
 
To be a simmer in this league, you have to show that you're a mature, dedicated individual who can be trusted with a lot--and if that's the case in this league, it's probably the case out of it. And if it's the case outside of the league, chances are you've got a lot of important things to deal with in life as well. Speaking as someone who's getting a lot busier IRL, it's impressive that our simmers are as consistent as they are. 
 
So it's really not ridiculous at all. You're not the first to think it is, and won't be the last, but most eventually get that things are fine as is after a while.

damn nobody tell him about devise degen hours double sims

1. Davos in a playoff spot tbh
2. That's a tough question. Obviously we're a rebuilding team, and although we looked great early on, we're a young team and it shows.
3. Someone enthusiastic and competent
4. Big spart hedge and kaleeb, they're all great guys
5. I'm gonna add crampon spikes to my tires (no sliding on the road for me)
6. Ambush children on their way to school (with snowballs)

Working on a Saskatoon Wild Arena and decided to get the logo going in it.

Figured I would do up an animated gif of the VHLM logo!  Hope you enjoy!
 

@Ledge

Miami is pretty awesome you should sign there 
 

You all should be so ashamed of yourselves.

This wraps up our S84 VHLE Awards presentation. I hope you have enjoyed our evening, and more importantly, I hope you're ready for the season that's about to start!
 
Congratulation to all the winners, to the nominees, and the not nominated but deserving of it!
 
On behalf of the VSN team, I thank you.
 
Good night and take care, everyone!
 

ISTANBUL

Thank you all for voting for me, it was an absolute pleasure last season GMing such a great group of players!!

Tonight's first award will be for Top Two-Way Forward.
 
We have three nominees for this category.
 
Cobalt Burns had an amazing campaign with the incumbent champions, Anton Bielas, who of the three nominees seemed to have a more difficult path towards finding their place offensively, and Alessio Simeoni, who capped a three-year campaign in Cologne with the best effort of his career.
 
Your winner, with 7 of the 8 votes, is...
 
 
Next up, the Top Goaltender!

ISTANBUL

Hello and welcome to this season's VHLE Awards!
 
We are a few minutes away from revealing this season's winners, so let's reminisce on a great S84 campaign and congratulate this season's statistical winners.
 
Renaissance Cup
Istanbul Red Wolves
 
After dominating the regular season, it didn't take much for the Red Wolves to assert their dominance on the ice. Throughout the playoffs, they showcased themselves as the team to beat, but no one was able to. In the end, they met a valiant Vasteras team who was looking to avenge their S83 run but couldn't match the Red Wolves. Now the team says farewell to their beloved GM, @KaleebtheMighty, but welcomes their new leader who hopes to quickly lead them out of this upcoming rebuild. Good Luck to @Daniel Janser!

I will grab a cup of ice cream while you do the awards. The question is which one. I have like 12 lmao. Kinda leaning towards coconut chocolate almond.

Chocolate Fudge Brownie is the choice for tonight! Mainly because it's the only one we had in the house. Not my favorite, but good enough! 😅

Woof. We're 56 minutes from the start of the winner announcements, but so far we have only gotten word from one of the nominees. His words? "Istanbul."
 
As I stand here, sitting down actually, past midnight, with a pint of Ben & Jerry's in hand, I start to wonder if this was a good decision.
