The Thunderdome used to be the place where there was no rules, and people could go at each other like a good pack of 14 year olds on 4chan. Unfortunately this is no longer the case as today's generation is too much about having their safe space. What if we make the Thunderdome into it's own version of a safe space, but only for degens such as @gorlab? Currently the Thunderdome is considered an extension of the forums, which it isn't supposed to be. Anything is supposed to go in the Thunderdome but that is not the case. And the only thing the VHL discord Thunderdome is good for is people spamming weird pokemon things, people telling mods to unmute them, and people occasionally getting into a pissing match with each other. As is tradition, I will use the remaining words of this article to talk about how great of a member Victor is. He makes some of the greatest VHL players ever and is the #1 preserver of our glorious history.

1) @Dil has a habit of speaking.sentences.like.this. 2) On the very rare occasion that Malone loses a game he makes some of his world famous chili to cheer himself up 3) Philadelphia because then the party could be located in Philly, the best city on Earth 4) I would want Malone to play forward so he can learn what's it's like to score instead of be scored upon 5) Absolutely no toppings, toppings on pizza masks the taste of a good pizza 6) I couldn't tell you a single equipment company name so idk

I would agree with this nice article. Also Tebowgow was a center and he was indeed my GM player

Maybe I am saying this wrong because so many people seem to not understand the idea: Teams keep NOTHING from one season to the next. All of their players who remain in the VHLM get redrafted

@Mr_Hatter there would be no trading of future draft picks. Teams carry nothing over from one year to the next. So there is 0 incentive to tank. Only trades would be teams trading up or down in the draft with the current years picks, or player for player trades during the regular season

1) Snake draft negates that point. Teams with 1st pick doesn’t pick until pick 24 then. Team with the 12th pick also picks 13. So i dont think i would even want 1st overall as a gm. 2) Maybe im just a boomer but i hit view new content every day and just check game threads that way. Maybe if we had a system where teams or people could opt in and the portal notifies them when there is a sim

good save percentage good games

bad save percentage bad game

Congrats Acyd! Now that this is settled, please fix the VHLM

Genius!

PREACH GUSTAV Also, this is the perfect opportunity for me to plug my latest VHLM proposal of running a re-draft every season. This completely removes the boom or bust of teams and stops teams from the tanking competing cycle.

That last sentence was amazing - made the article! tcookie this was awesome great writing!

Victor is the GOAT member

2 shots is absolutely ridiculous @Victor please fix this

Ez clap

@diamond_ace I would be curious to hear your thoughts on this

1) Everything really. We are outshooting our opposition by a lot which means all the skaters are doing well, and the goalie is cleaning up everything coming his way. 3) Saskatoon ain't got nothing on us and come playoff time I expect a sweep. 4) Better than expected, I knew Malone would be among the top goalies in the league but he is having a historically good year 7) GregGreg is a beast every time he steps on the ice 9) The NHL series is by far my favorite. Me and some friends/family have been running an EASHL club on there for years and we are really good 10) Definitely Shawn since he plays hockey meanwhile Dil is a tiny little coder boy

Back in the day when writing a media spot, if you wanted to bold, color, highlight, italicise, or center text, there was an exact order you had to do it in or else the coding wouldn't work Media spots would be graded on content and grammar - at the time I just accepted it but looking back why did we grade on grammar as if it was an English class - who really cares? Updating had to be done completely manually. You created your own updating thread, had to post the links, tpe earned, and do the math yourself for attribute brackets. You then had to wait for the updater to come in take a look and do your updates, which could take up to a week Even if the updater had updated your player, it didn't guarantee your player was actually updated in the sim. Player updates in the sim only happened like twice a season. Getting your updates in before the playoffs was always a big deal

Kevin Malone had 9 saves. He is good. There 2 sentences not hard

Same rule could be implemented for VHL practice facility too yea. It's lame no one ever comments on game threads in either league

Randomized Redraft of All Players Each Season - Snake Draft Recently in the VHLM Commissioner application page, I discussed two areas that I believe are currently major painpoints for the VHLM at the moment - VHLM Parity and lack of posting on game threads. The game thread posting solution is quite simple, just re-institute the rule I formerly put in place of requiring 2 game thread posts per week in order to use practice facility. With the portal this should be really easy now, and is not worthy of an entire article. My initial thought on how to make the VHLM more competitive was to implement restrictions on draft pick trading. In the past, we have capped teams to only have x number of 1st or 2nd round picks in a draft, and I am not sure if this policy is still in place. Even with that rule, it was still too easy for teams to go through the cycle of tanking or fully going for it, with not much in between. The more extreme measure would be to completely limit any draft pick trading, but that also creates a variety of problems. While many VHLM GMs are great at helping develop new members, they understandably want to enjoy the manager part of the trade in trades, drafting, etc. If we eliminate all trading of draft picks that takes away from that aspect. Additionally, it would make it very difficult for rosters to be flexible in accommodating other players, say if one team needs a defensemen and another team needs a forward. Lastly, I am just not a fan of implementing such strict rules like this in general. The easiest solution to solve the parity problem in the VHLM is to hold a re-draft every single season where every player in the VHLM gets re-drafted. The draft order would be randomized and in the form of a snake draft to keep competitive balance from the draft as fair as possible. Teams would not be allowed to trade future draft picks ever, but trading up or down in the snake draft would be allowed. The benefits of this method are as follows: There would be 0 incentive for teams to tank, as they hold no pieces going into next season. Every team would be trying their best to win GMs would still maintain full flexibility in building their teams how they see fit Competition between teams every season would be extremely high, as everyone should have close to an equally balanced amount of assets With players equally spread out from the draft, there will be more competition for waiver players as there won't be full teams right off the bat from the draft and then other teams are empty. More competition for waivers makes members feel more wanted if many teams are calling for them As for the negatives to this approach, I can only think of two. Let me know if you can think of any more negatives or positives: Players would not build loyalty / remain with the same team more than one season. I don't think this is a huge problem though, as most players don't spend more than two seasons in the VHLM anyway It would be more work for the commishes and the portal to re-draft players to a new team every season. It seems like it would be reasonably manageable though. Please let me know your thoughts VHL. This seems like an extremely simple solution with minimal downside, unless there is something I am missing here. I hope this great big beautiful idea gets the attention it deserves.
