This was one of my suggestions when the league did that 5 ideas thing a while ago, I think it'd be worthwhile whether there was a double weeks/makeup TPE or not. Disagree with increasing the games per season though, like having the consistency for stat purposes.

Putting the hurt on. And a shorthanded goal!

Bassolino has finally decided he wants to play this season. I'm good with it

McAllister +5

Hell yeah, another 3 point game. Six straight wins overall, and the last three against Helsinki, Calgary and Quebec!

^ Excellent freeze frame point And happy my offense is finally starting to get back into form!

Copy/pasting what I put on the status: Please don't. I thought it was a horrible idea when I was still there, and I still do. All of the history the VHL has is what makes this league truly unique.

Quoted for posterity.

Big win! Feeling Charmed

Down with the old squad

Yes, tbh. Same way Boubabi gained 734865 TPE for doing graphics around the site. Quality work and time invested should be rewarded.

Should we look at raising the max? With the new update scale, I would figure it's easier to reach 1065, and also easier to catch up for new players even with a bit more carryover TPE.

That's absolutely not true for one, I personally wrote longer content for that exact reason. Second, if you're actually writing something worthwhile, that's a lot easier said than done. If I'm writing a power rankings, for instance, should I write the Top 5 then say "Well, if you want the rest, come back next week!" It makes no sense. If people are going to put in the work to actually have good content, they should be rewarded.

Yeah I'm a big fan of the new updating system, but think this is dumb. All you're doing is encouraging non-researched "I'm just trying to reach 500 words through word vomit" articles at best, actively pushing away people who like to write at worst.

OT winner! Woooo!

Close, and don't like being outshot, but I'll take it

48 HC Dynamo @ Bears 49 Reign @ Meute 50 HC Dynamo @ Titans 51 Bears @ Wranglers

3-1 Wranglers

OK, now we might need that line change

Darn, were bound to drop one eventually. Put up a good fight though.

(This doesn't apply to @Bushito and @tfong, who I needed to clarify something and will be getting one more check)

Nope! (Though I do argue he probably would've been my pick anyway given my normal strategy, maybe Dragon McDragon)

New York (AP) -- It's safe to say that Team USA is officially clutch. For the second straight World Cup, the American squad didn't have one of the top two positions out of the round robin, but it hasn't mattered - they've won the gold. And just like last time, forward Gabriel McAllister came up large, with a first star in the gold medal game and five points (one goal, four assists) on the day. It was McAllister's fourth medal in the World Cup, as he now has two golds, a silver and a bronze, with one more World Cup (S62) likely in the player's future. And don't be surprised if Team USA at least medals in that one too, as the CIA agency has been extremely lucky in the event. In fact, out of the three players the agency has paid attention to, it has won medals in 11 out of 12 World Cups, including 10 straight. Karsten Olsen - Team Scandinavia S32 - Gold S34 - Fourth S37 - Bronze S40 - Silver Hans Wingate - Team Western Europe S43 - Gold S46 - Gold S48 - Silver S50 - Silver Gabriel McAllister - Team USA S54 - Silver S56 - Bronze S58 - Gold S60 - Gold McAllister may not have had the winning of Hans Wingate, but he's had his fair share - he is in fact the agency's only Triple Gold player, with titles at the Saskatoon Wild and Seattle Bears as well. And he's just fine with what he's done. "It feels good to take it home, and we've really gotten a streak going," McAllister said. "Team USA may not have the pedigree of Canada or Europe in this event, but we're carving out a nice niche for ourselves. Next up is the threepeat in two seasons."
