I think the best part of the story is that Dil called @Beaviss's work and requested to speak to Beaviss. Why did Dil have his work phone number, and why did he call over something so insignificant? And I wonder what Beaviss's company thought when some 12 year old Indian boy was calling to speak with Beaviss about an emergency

@Enorama I believe the proposed fight was in a locked forum post somewhere, and either Devise or Tfong locked it calling it 4chan or something I remember I would always try to message you on chat and you would just saying something along the lines of go away and dissapear That and the giraffes

Moscow Menace Press Conference
eaglesfan036 replied to FacebookFighter's topic in Team Press Conferences
New Questions: 1) If every member of the VHL were dropped into a battle royale map like the Hunger Games, who do you think would win and why? 2) If you had to be stuck on an island with one VHL member, who and why? 3) Should locker rooms be on the top or bottom of the VHL forum? 4) What is an unpopular opinion on something that you have? 5) If I gave you $5 for free to bet on any team to win the cup, would you pick Moscow or someone else? 6) What is your favorite joke? -
1) When Jericho figured out Kesler's password and hacked his account messing with him for the day 2) When me, Victor, Ahma, and one other person all played haxball together, and tried to convince some random people we were playing with to join the VHL 3) When @Will first joined the league I received a tip from @d3vilsfire that he could be a steal, which is why I slid in and drafted Will in the 2nd round. Greatest VHLM draft pick I ever made by far. 4) When @Seth knew that a certain draft like 3 seasons down the line would be really good, which turned into a meme #Seth knew 5) When I was VHLM Commishioner and fired @Da Trifecta after a conversation I had with him. I told him he needed to give an active player playing time on the top two lines over an active bot. He said no and that I couldn't make him do it. I promptly fired him for having a stupid attitude in being a VHLM GM 6) My favorite recent memory is when @Bushito and Robbie (Can someone tag him for me) legitimately challenged each other to meet somewhere and have a fist fight, turning the VHL into 4chan.

Story of How I Joined the VHL, Why I've Remained, and Why The Community Should be Emphasized as a Key Part of Recruitment I joined the VHL nearly exactly eight years ago, as I am pretty sure it was around April when I joined at the ripe old age of 14 (younger than @Dil). @flyersfan1453 had already been a member of the VHL for one season, and tried to convince me to join. He initially described the VHL as an online hockey simulation league where you write articles in order to earn attributes to improve your player. I thought this idea was very dumb at first as I was very busy with my high school homework, and why in the world would I want to spend time writing even more papers? I decided to trust my brother and give this site a shot, and I joined during the perfect time as the VHLM draft was later that same day. Flyersfan was already on the Ottawa Lynx, Gmd by @Jericho, and we were hoping I would fall to the 3rd round so he could draft me (I guess VHLM drafts were kind of deep at that time). Then scarily enough @Higgins approached me in chat, as he was a GM of another team (I think Oslo), and kind of interviewed me for the draft. I remember trying to play dumb and act like an idiot so he wouldn't draft me, and it succeeded as I got to play on my brothers team (something that actually has only happened a few times on my eight years here). I used to go really hard writing hardcore hockey articles, not quite realizing what this website was, and actually would spend like an hour or two writing media spots about the best VHLM goalies or my player's training regimen. It took me a while to catch on that the best aspect of this website is not the hockey itself, but the awesome community. Lots of people have built years and years of relationships on here, and you see it now more than ever with people gaming together on discord, playing town of salem together, or having some of the strangest conversations I have ever seen. This brings me onto my next topic; How in the world do you explain this website to a friend you think might be interested without sounding like a crazy person? Also @diamond_ace, did I use the ; correctly in that sentence? I was never sure how to use that when writing papers for school. When Flyersfan initially told me about this league I thought it was crazy having to spend all this time working on your player and was very skepical. The relaxing of media spot grading and usage of welfare has helped in that regard now, as you can make a pretty decent player on here spending no more than a half hour a week. I think the best way to convince people to join this place is to describe the community, with all the social interaction I have listed above. Two things have really impressed me in the VHL community within the last year. 1) The thousands of dollars we donated to the make a wish foundation - This league has made a huge difference in many of our lives, and it was great to see that we were able to spread that cheer to a kid who really needs it most. 2) We unfortunately have seen two members pass away over the past few months, and the outpouring of support and sadness really shows how together we are as a community. We all use this place similar to sports as an escape from the doldrums of everyday life, and a place to have some fun and find kinship with each other. I realize I have now rambled well over the 500 word mark, and want to thank the VHL community for being so awesome these past eight years, and think we should emphasize our great community more in recruiting.

Gritty will be my first 1,000 tpe player
eaglesfan036 replied to eaglesfan036's topic in VHL.com Articles

The 1,000 tpe club is nowhere near the accomplishment that it used to be due to tpe inflation, but it is still an accomplishment for me considering I have never been in it. Without going to the portal to check becuase lazy, I am pretty sure my best player I ever made (Tim TebowGow) wound up with like 850 to 900 tpe. That was a good chunk of tpe back then though. Those were the days when I made a Gow pun for all of my players. I kind of regret letting my real name be known to you people because there are some real lunatics on this website. Also, I have two cups so far with Gritty, which ties my personal record with any player. If I manage to win a third cup, that will be the most I have ever had with any one player, so that would be pretty cool.

Moscow Menace Press Conference
eaglesfan036 replied to FacebookFighter's topic in Team Press Conferences
1) I am not I have a hard enough time keeping up with VHL let alone any other sim leagues. My time to do that would have been in like high school 2) Not as pretty as last season, but as long as you make the playoffs it's an entirely new season from there. 3) Not as good as last year, I will be lucky to reach a point per game. I think scoring is down team wide though compared to last year. 4) Nothing coffee is gross, I don't even like coffee flavored ice cream 5) I can do either or, the more important part is just the pizza being a quality pizza. I guess if I had to choose I would do deep dish though. 6) 6 -

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. 2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. 3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
