  1. I apply, i don't have facebook knowledge but i have run some pages on instagram, if i would be appointed to this i would start to use a lot of hashtags as they are the main way to gain followers that are interested in for example hockey, as i said earlier i have run some pages which i think was successful for the amount of followers in the days i had it, i do have a lot of time as there isn't much in school rn, the only time i'm not active is when i'm in school or at practice there might also be a time zone differential as im in GMT +1 and i have no idea on what timezone your in.
  2. Oh wait, that's true lmao, i need to get some glasses
  3. New-season new me This is the last week the extended off-season will end, this is of course very exciting due to that Gustislav Nasherov will finally get to play some games again, but this season he will be playing for a new team, Mississauga Hounds, I got drafted here yesterday and got picked 3rd overall. And this season we are looking good one of the reasons is of course that we had pick 3,4 and 5 in the VHLM draft. Since this season is looking exciting I, of course, want to do the best I can, In the last 2 weeks I have earned a ton of tpe. 2 weeks ago I had about 170 tpa, after all of my updates this week I should have 206 tpa, how you may ask? This off-season I have max capped once and planning to max cap this week also, and I'm planning to write my career point task which together grants me 10 tpa, and lastly, the training camp which grants me 10 tpe, all together this should grant me 44 tpe in 2 weeks unless I cant count, 24 (media spots x2)+10 (training camp)+10 (career point task x2)=44
  4. 10/10 first time being included in this type of media spot. Also well written with all of the players as i think they should feel special (which i do), +points for putting Nils Höglander as me and that he was in a Rögle jersey
  5. 10/10 I really like the concept of going back to Founder's cup winners and look at where they are now, more teams should do this as well. I also really like how detailed it is with several rows of text for each player
  6. Regular season After I had created my player I got offered a contract by the know Yukon rush GM aka Juice At the time he was the AGM of the Mexico city kings which he offered a contract to Mexico. As it was my first time in this league I accepted it and got invited to the Mexico discord, I got a warm welcome and Juice helped me with everything from what things were important like tpe, taught me how to acquire tpe, basically everything you need to be taught about here. In the first couple of games I produced 0 points which wasn't surprising considering my low tpa count, after about a week or two I started producing points for Mexico and that's when things got exciting. we were on the top of the table on second to Houston, we stayed there basically the whole season until towards the end when Minnesota made their way to 2nd place. It was a close battle for the 2nd place but in the end, Minnesota took 2nd place with us only 2 points behind them. This was about the time I wanted to get into the league and become a "max capper" every time I could, so I could do good for Mexico in the playoffs and also potentially get drafted in the first round. games played Goals Assists Points Regular season: 62 4 12 16 Games played Goals Assists Regular season stats: 62 4 12 16 Playoffs I was super excited for the playoffs because it was my first playoffs and we were doing well, and in the playoffs we were sweeping everybody, 2 series where we went 4-0, I was hyped, the locker room was hyped, everyone was hyped. After 2 series of dominating our enemies, it was our time to shine, the founder's cup finals, Mexico vs Houston. And this series was super exciting as Houston had arguably the best team in the VHLM and if anyone wanted to win the cup they would have to take down Houston. And what an exciting series it was, we went back and forth, Mexico won then Houston won, it was very close until the last game. By last game, I, of course, mean the most notorious and exciting game in all of hockey, Game 7. Up until this point I was doing good and I along with the locker room was more than hyped, we were ready for the last game to unveil, and when the live stream post was posted we were stoked, the game ended in our favor and we had won Mexico's first-ever founders cup. I'd say I did pretty well in the playoffs. Games played Goals Assists Points Playoff stats: 15 4 3 7 Draft Despite the draft taking place at 2 am in Sweden I still stayed up until that time to witness the draft. This was my first time watching the draft and I was tired but still awake, I had gotten some draft interviews and a guy mock drafted me to pick #25. It was a big surprise when I got drafted #12th overall, I got drafted to the Helsinki Titans which I now am a part of and I'm ready to take on the coming VHL season.
  7. Imagine having rep points smh
  8. I I really like how you formulate your message, im sure no one could miss it, you are inspiring me to write and is my daily motivation from now on. I am really looking forward to your next media spots like this, honestly we should have a HOF for best media spots and you would be my pick. 10/10
  9. Offseason time!1. This season, the offseason is 2 weeks long. With the extended offseason, what do you plan to do with the extra time? Just take it easy and rest so i can get 12 capped tpe later on and be active, and honestly getting acquainted with my new team 2. Will you be tuning in to any of the major international hockey events (WC, WJC)? If so, which one? I will keep and eye on the WJC but i'm not in the team 3. What do you believe is the best part of the offseason from both a player and management perspective? Getting to know new faces and making friends with them. 4. Is there anyone you think we should have on our radar for the upcoming VHL draft? Heard of Gustislav Nasherov? 5. There have been a lot of GM changes in the VHL recently. Are you excited to see a lot of new faces get into management? It's always fun to see new faces but this is my first time in the VHL so these will probably be the og GM's and AGM's for me 6. What do you think is more important: Winning or an active locker room?Just for fun: Active,not fun winning and no-one caring, i would much rather have an active locker room than winning.7. Do you prefer homemade or store bought? homemade for the win! 8. If you are still in school (or if you have already graduated) what is (was) your favourite subject and why? P.E, throwing balls at each other 9. If you were to play any professional sport besides hockey, where would you be playing? Handball which i already play 10. Let's say for a brief moment that the VHL is considering adding 1 team in NA and 1 team in EU. Do you have any cities/team names that you think would be cool? Rögle, and Ohio 11. We have quite a few new faces coming up to the big league this season. How pumped are you to have the rookies coming in. Im super pumped to meet the players here! 12. We recently made a trade to acquire Magnus Verlander (jbeezy) from the Calgary Wranglers. How excited are you to have a familiar face coming back to Helsinki? If he's coming back then i'm stoked and hope that he will do good.
  10. It has soon been 1 full week since the off-season began and not much has happened in the off-season yet except for the draft (coming in form of a media spot). I have not had anything to do this off-season and have just been taking it easy, but now i don't have anything to do for some time, and honestly it's quite relaxing as i really can take a break and go 100% on school. It will also be exciting to watch the WJHC unveil as that is the only form of games this off-season and of course i cheer for the EU team as i am from Sweden and that's in europe, i also find it exciting that other continents are in it too as i have never seen a team Asia or a team from Asia at all ever except from Kazakhstan, and as it scheduled now the semis and finals will be played on my birthday which is pretty exciting. Overall i look forward to the season start and how it goes for me and my new team, especially since it's my first time ever in the VHL.
  11. I would like to thank each and every person in the league for an awesome season! This is my first time i ever heard about a sim league and i am very fond of this idea and im also enjoying talking to the new friends ive met during this season But i would espescially like to thank everyone in the Mecico city kings for this amazing season and Juice for signing me on waivers and giving me the chance to take a spot on this team and the players who were bery friendly towards me and welcoming me to the league and the community. I hope to meet these people once again, even if we are enemies or teammates, this is a season that i wont forget and i have not regretted my decision on starting here for a single moment. Im really excited for next season and im looking forwards toward the draft.
  12. 10/10 Really good information for someone like me who is very new to this league and well formatted
  13. 8/10 i really like the effort you put into this, and im really looking forward to the next weeks roundup.
  14. WOW, what a season this has been, I cant believe I have already taken part in 62 games already, after starting my player mid-season I have become proud of my advancements, and I'm really happy being in this league due to all the friendly people I have met on a daily basis! So today I will go over my season and different things that have happened. REGULAR SEASON After having created my player mid-season and getting a lot of help from @Juice with basically everything you can imagine, what to do, grabbing links, teaching me about tpe, literally anything you can imagine. I have also met several new people and made some new friends, and been getting acquainted with people that I think are funny and that like to chat about dumb things til' the sun doesn't show us light anymore. For my first ever regular season ever I think that I did well, to be honest, I got a total of 16 points, 4 goals, and 12 assists. I know this isn't the best "all-star" stats but I'm pretty proud of it myself for being the first time in the league ever. This was also @Hylands last season as the GM of Mexico as he now has become the GM for Malmö, this meant that he was going all-in for the playoffs to make one last chance for him and his squad to take home Mexico's first-ever founders cup. If I had to summarise my first regular-season I would say that I'm happy with the results and I am also happy about how we placed in the regular season and also got to experience what making a last playoff push is like. PLAYOFFS Houston, they were stacked to the top in terms of player-wise, Houston has 16 available players and only 2 of them was under 235 tpe, this is insanely good as Mexico had 10 of 19 players under 235 tpe. By reading this we can see how incredibly good Houston was player-wise and if anyone wanted the cup they would have a very tough opponent waiting for them in the playoffs. The playoffs started and the Mexico kings were ready to make a playoff push for their first-ever founder's cup, and we were cruising, we swept every team in our way with 4-0 in the series every time, we felt unbeatable and no one could take a single win from us in 2 whole series, While our playoff supremacy continued to rain down on our opponents the Bulls lost a game which meant that the Mexico city kings were officially on the top of the playoff leaderboard, and the locker room was hyped to the maxed, After going unbeaten in the playoffs it was time for our ultimate battle this playoffs and season, the founder's cup finals, Mexico VS Houston. And what a battle it was there was no certified team who had the lead in the finals, it was back and forth, Mexico won a game then Houston won a game. This went on until the most exciting and nerve-racking game in all of hockey, Game 7. And what a game 7 it was, the final score was 6-4 to Mexico. WE HAD DONE IT! The Mexico City Kings had won their first-ever founders cup + it was on Hylands last season here due to his GM job in Malmö. The locker room was banging, we were so happy and the feeling was indescribable. Since this was Hylands last chance to get the cup as the GM of Mexico he was stoked. #FORHYLANDS I think I did pretty well in the playoffs to be fair, I put up 7 points with 4 goals and 3 assists Again not any "superstar" stats but I'm still proud of the points I put up considering that this was my first season ever. As we won the founder's cup I had already completed my first goal for my career, in my first season which is pretty insane for me. The playoffs were amazing and I want to thank each and every person in Mexico for giving me the chance to tag along on this incredible journey and I look forward to when I will meet them again, maybe we're on the same team, maybe we are enemies, either way, this is a season I will not forget about as I am very thankful for being picked up by them on waivers and being met with such friendly people. THE DRAFT As I got picked up on waivers by Mexico I am still undrafted thus I have about a 0.0001% chance of staying in Mexico because Mexico only has a 6th round pick in the s77 draft + a kind fella mocked drafted me to the 2nd round pick 25 which I think is good considering that I haven't even played a full season, despite not playing a full season I have still got some draft interviews that have noticed me which I'm very happy about. The draft next season will be very interesting to see how it plays out and who picks who and if I get drafted to see who is willing to choose me and my player. Either way, I don't care about where I'm going to get drafted or how they are doing in the league I'd rather be drafted to a team that is active a lot and I can have conversations with and have fun with. SEASON SUMMARY This is a season that I will never forget I've -Almost played a full season -made new friends -been in the playoffs -produced points in the playoffs -advanced to the playoff finals -scored a goal in the playoff final -Game 7 in the playoff finals -Won the founders cup and I'm overall proud of my progression and the making of new friends, thus I'm looking forward to the next season I will play. #FORHYLANDS 1005 words and claiming for week ending 3/7 and 3/14
  15. 1. We are CRUISING through the playoffs, however we are at the final destination as we all expected. The finals against Houston. We are currently at 1 win and 1 loss so far, what do you think we need to approve based on the first two games? Hype the locker room up as much as possible 2. How has your player done so far in the playoffs in your eyes? BAD, at this time ive only generated 4 points in 12 games, if i dont step my game up i will probably stay in the VHLM another season. 3. With Hylands departure soon and the newly appointed GM being @Advantage, what is one thing you hopes stays the same and what is one thing you hope Advantage looks into to change/adjust? Theres a very good chance im not playing in Mexico next season, so i have no say in this. 4. In one sentence, what would you want to say to @Hylandsbefore he goes off to Malmo? Frick Malmö. 5. What is your go-to snack when watching a movie? Chips 6. If there was one place you'd want to see an expansion team move to, where would it be and what would it's name be? Rögle, Rögle BK
  16. After spending some time in the VHLM it's finally time for the notorious playoffs. Since I joined mid-season these will probably be my last games with the Mexico city kings, I'm going to be drafted into the VHLm and Mexico has virtually no 1st round picks, so I won't be able to stay there. This is the first time I will be participating in a playoff tournament because this is my first time in the playoffs I have actually completed as many capped tpe tasks (besides press conference and trivia), so I am hoping that the updaters will give me my tpe so that I can apply them before the games start. After my tpe has gotten approved I will have 140 tpe which is a big power up for the playoffs. I am hoping for the best this playoffs and I think we can go really far if we find a way to take down Houston, Houston has been atop of the standings the whole season. I would say that if we are able to win over Houston we got a big chance to win the playoffs and take home the cup to motherland Mexico. A playoff win with Mexico would be very convenient because it would be my first cup, Hylands and Juice will be leaving Mexico for Malmö. So it will be a memorable goodbye.
  17. After starting my first player in the vhl I have made many mistakes and learned stuff I have also done things which I am pretty proud of. So to pull a hard flex of my 4-5 weeks of experience I will try to explain stuff for people that may have just started their career. WELFARE At the beginning of a player career, you will read the rules and try to get a general understanding of what to do. After I read it I got the understanding that tpe is good and you want as much of it as possible, I saw that you could claim it from the "my player" tab. After pressing around the tab I found a button which was welfare, for a newbie like I was then it was very tempting because it was fast and easy tpe. After being offered a contract and accepting it I got some help from an AGM which guided me through tpe. After some explaining later I got to understand the dangerous yet tempting welfare button which gave you easy tpe but you couldn't claim max capped tpe, I was lucky because this was on a Saturday night and I didn't have to wait a full week to utilize the max potential of capped tpe. So the underline for welfare is, Welfare sucks if you are planning to claim maxed capped tpe, but is good if you don't have the time to write for example media spot where you earn 6 capped tpe. Note that welfare cuts your max capped tpe per week down to 10 instead of 12. PRACTICE FACILITY You could say practice facility is the nice version of Welfare, you get the same amount of tpe, your capped tpe limit isn't reduced and it's uncapped which leaves more capped tp for your player to earn thus makes him better. There is no reason whatsoever to not claim practice facility because it the most accessible and easiest way to earn tpe. CAPPED TPE Capped tpe is the Jesus of VHL. Capped tpe is the best way to get tpe as you can earn up to 12 tpe per week from it. Capped tpe is also the main source of tpe the whole league uses, if you claim max capped tpe per week every week you will produce a lot of points and will be drafted highly. The biggest mistake a new person who is looking to be active makes is claiming the welfare option as it reduces the max capped tpe you can earn in a week. Capped tpe lets you do tasks such as media spots, trivia, press conferences, articles, podcasts or writing reviews. These are only some of the many ways to earn capped tpe. As you can earn at max of 12 capped tpe per week you will be drafted highly if you average 12 capped tpe per week. UNCAPPED TPE Uncapped tpe is like capped tpe but there is no consistent way of earning it week to week. There is nothing bad about uncapped tpe but as I said there is no way to get tpe from it every week. Although there is no consistent way to earn uncapped tpe there are events like for example the theme week last week. In that event, you earned an extra 6 uncapped tpe from media spots, since it was uncapped tpe you could earn the usual 12 capped tpe from the week which allowed many layers to earn up to 18 tpe 1 week which for me a fairly new player was very generous because it allowed me to get more into the league thus making me get more points per sim instead of just getting a point after 1 or 2 sims. There is another way to claim uncapped tpe which is the first-gen bonus which allows a fairly new player like me to get into the league by giving players who passed 100 tpe a free 10 uncapped tpe, I recently claimed this which gave me 10 tpe to apply which I did today so I am hoping for some points today, especially if I can get my capped tpe from other tasks I've done. SPENDING TPE Now that you have some tpe to spend you shouldn't just throw it out into the different categories. Especially if you just started out, one category to avoid too 100% at the start is leadership. If you just started out you should avoid it at all costs because it is meant for captains and if you just started out you will not be a captain and the points you could have spent on that you could've spent on for example passing or scoring to help your team perform better. If you are unsure on what to use your tpe for you should ask the "newcomers help" channel in the discord, I started out my tpe spending there and got some advice from nice players, I would recommend spreading your tpe throughout defense, scoring, passing, puck handling and skating. This is what I'm doing and for my first 60 games, I've got 16 points and +13 +/-. This does not mean that you will get the same exact results as I have, you may get worse results or even better results. THE DRAFT Depending on when you join the league you will get drafted or not, since I joined mid-season I have not got drafted and I will next season. After accumulating 250 tpe you will be forced to move up to the VHL where you can get drafted by different teams and such, one thing I like with this league is that there are draft interviews where you can basically choose where you want and don't want to end up, for example, I don't want to get drafted by a special team so if I get an interview by them I will say that I don't want to get drafted to them because in my case they are rivals to the team I actually support IRL. 1020 words and im claiming this for week ending 2/21 and 2/28
  18. Very good article first article and it was pretty exciting for me to read. Im really looking forward to read another media spot like this when it comes out. 9/10
