AJW

Hello VHLers, I want TPE and so I am writing a Media Spot on how I can make it fast and easy. I am going to be going through the routine I use each week to earn myself the weekly cap of 12 TPE. Point Task Media Spot - 6 TPE For the beginning of each week, I like to start off tackling the biggest form of TPE earning, the point task. A point task is worth 6 TPE and can be done in the form of a Media Spot, Podcast, or Graphic/Video. You can only do one point task per week though, the rest of your capped TPE must come from supplemental tasks which I will cover later in this article. As you can tell from me writing the media spot that you are reading right now, I like to choose Media Spots. They are 500 word minimum written articles that are VHL related. I feel as if I have so many ideas to write about, so usually I just grab a bunch and throw them together in a general topic. For example: This past week I wrote a media spot talking about the first week for the Houston Bulls in the VHLM. Being their GM, I am around the team a lot, I know what is going on, and I see all of the talks in the locker room and around the league. So this is a pretty easy topic for me to write about. I wanted to showcase my players, their earning abilities, their activity, I wanted to showcase the team and how they are performing, and I basically just wanted the community to see how great this team and the members part of it are. So I threw that all together for a 1000 word article, starting with talking about the team, and then specifically talking about each player on the team. With my article being 1000 words, I was able to claim it for two weeks and not worry about making a point task next week. One week claim is 500 words, Two weeks is 1000, Three weeks is 1500 and Four weeks is 2000+. Your media spot does not have to be serious, it can be as creative and funny as you want. You can talk about players around the league getting in fights, teams in the off-season playing golf and partying, you can even talk about your player's dog and how it has boosted their morale so much that your player is now a god in the league. I don't know, think about anything you want, make it VHL related, type 500 words, there is your 6 TPE Point Task for the week. Supplemental Tasks Press Conference - 2 TPE Press Conferences are hands down the easiest supplemental task to do. Anyone can post or answer anyone else's press conference, it does not have to be your own team's. When posting a press conference, you write 6 questions for someone to answer, preferably about the VHL. When answering a press conference, you answer those 6 questions someone wrote for you. The answers do not have to be paragraphs long, a sentence or two is perfect. Answering press conferences with a couple of words is frowned upon though, and the updaters will most likely not approve your TPE. As Houston's GM, I post weekly press conferences for my players to answer which takes me a minute to do. I think of 3-4 questions about the team, their players, the league, etc., then I think of 2-3 questions about random stuff. Like what is your favorite meal of the day? Where is a travel destination you would want to go to? It is super simple and fast to do. If you do not have a team or just do not want to answer your team's press conference, another option is our Ask 3, Answer 3. You ask 3 questions, and you answers 3 questions from someone else in the thread. Trivia - 2 TPE Trivia in my opinion is the second easiest supplemental task to do. You get two trivia questions per week worth 1 TPE for each question. If you struggle on a question, you can easily ask a teammate or GM and they will most likely have the answer. I have had a lot of fun helping my Bulls players with Trivia this season and seeing how happy they are for quick and easy TPE. For Trivia the main three things I use to find answers are: VHL Forum HOF https://vhlforum.com/forum/77-vhl-hall-of-fame/ VHL Portal HOF https://vhlportal.com/hof/ VHL Forum Search Bar Most questions I see are about team/player records, so the Hall of Fame links are key. I mainly use the first two bullets, but if I am really stuck on a question, the search bar always has the answer I need. If you use quotations (") around your phrase it will specifically find those topics with that phrase in it, which is very helpful. VHL.com Article - 2 TPE Like the Media Spot, a VHL.com Article is a written article that is VHL related. The reason this article is worth 2 TPE is because you only need to write 250 words. These articles are where I like to focus on my player. I may talk about how he is doing through sims, or I could go right off the board and talk about his personal, fictional life. It is pretty fun making up random and weird scenarios talking about your player's life. One time I made up a random fine for my player since he was out past team's curfew. Another time I wrote about my player's vacation trip. These article do not need to be serious, they can be funny and creative. As long as they are in some what way revolved around the VHL they are totally fine to do. And there you go, 12 TPE done just like that. On average it takes me around 20-30 minutes per week to earn my maximum cap TPE. I timed myself writing this 1000 word article and it took me only 25 minutes. Writing a 500 word article would then be about 12.5 minutes. Now I can claim it for two weeks and not have to worry about making a point task for the following week. Two weeks of 6 TPE Point Tasks done in 25 minutes! It is not rocket science! So really it is not hard to be a top earner in this league, as long as you take a bit of time out of your day each week, you can grow your player immensely.

Hey @Jrocket09! Welcome to the VHL. My name is AJ, Houston Bulls GM in the VHLM. We are a quarter way the season and are looking for more players to fill out our roster. Houston is currently 4th in the league and wanting competitive players to help us keep moving up. In the VHLM we praise members who work hard at earning TPE, so for now I would be able to offer your player 2nd line pairing minutes, but with time and effort I would love to boost your minutes! Houston would be thrilled to have you and give your player a new home. If you would like to join the Bulls, quote this message saying #FlamingHorns. Thank you and good luck in the league!

Presser! 1. We’re a little over halfway through the season, how do you think the team is performing? 2. How has your player been doing? 3. Who has been the team MVP so far? 4. What do we need to do more of to climb the standings? 5. What do we need to do less of? 6. Do you prefer breakfast lunch or dinner? Why? @l1l KRZY l9l @ShawnGlade @ThePerfectNut @Big Newff @izaak @TMGSosa @glass @Gage2 @Bruh @KzooJohn

2/2

Dylan needs his number retired once he’s gone. This is gold

Being on the last place team sucks I get it, my first team in the VHLM was the same. But your player is great, honestly the main reason Sask won 5 games. You beat us in Houston twice and both times it was because of you lol! Keep earning like you do and move up in the leagues and you’ll see lots of wins in the future.

I have never been a New York hater and I really think you should stay with the team. Who cares what other’s say about New York, everyone here is a hockey nerd geek sitting behind a computer screen. We’re all not worth you quitting your job. Please reconsider!

LETS GOOO

A perfect graphic for Rory wow lol

Welcome back! I knew I remembered you from a couple degen hours long ago but I completely forgot. Also going for a passing build makes me smile. On Seattle I currently have Jonathon Ori as my linemate. He’s a passing build with 0 goals and 15 assists in 14 games lol I love it.

Hey @KzooJohn! Welcome to the VHL. My name is AJ, Houston Bulls GM in the VHLM. We are a good chunk through the beginning of the season and are looking for more players to fill out the roster. In the VHLM we praise members who work hard at earning TPE, so for now I would be able to offer your player 2nd line minutes, but with time and effort I would love to boost your minutes! Houston would be thrilled to have you and give your player a new home. If you would like to join the Bulls, quote this message saying #FlamingHorns. Thank you and good luck in the league!

Hey @im Bored! Saw you on the discord saying that you are bored, so to help with that I feel like you should come play in Houston!! I am the GM of the Houston Bulls in the VHLM. I would love to have you on the team and in our locker room. We have a great group of people that are active daily. For your player, I can give you top 6 minutes as well as special teams roles. If you interested in joining the Bulls, quote this message saying #FlamingBulls. Welcome to the league

Payne has been totally going off for Warsaw. Go win @dlamb a cup this season he deserves it.

After a solid first 12 games of S84, Houston holds a 7-5-0 record and sits 4th overall in the VHLM standings. I am really impressed by this 5-2-1 roster and the fact that they don't quit even when matched up against top teams in the league. For starters, being in the West Division we have been seeing two teams a lot already: the Las Vegas Aces, S83 Founder's Cup Champions, and the Mexico City Kings, who had the best draft this past off-season. Both teams have more depth and higher TPE players than us in Houston, but that doesn't matter! We have a 3-1-0 record against Mexico, and then unfortunately a 0-3-0 record against Vegas. All of these games have been super close though besides a 6-0 Vegas blowout against us. I am super pumped that we are able to compete with the big dogs, and as the season progresses, I feel like we will be able to take more games. For the roster, the 8 players we have are all a pleasure to have on the team. Our discord is such a fun place to be as there's always multiple players popping into the locker room daily to chat. Everyone is a great person which motivates me more to be a better GM. I feel like the way their players are performing also boosts morale in the locker room, as the whole team is doing great so far. Starting with our top scorer, Daniel Weaver @ThePerfectNut. Weaver was drafted this past off-season 6th overall. I recently GMed in the JST and had Weaver on my team, I knew I needed to take him again. 9 goals in 12 games, 5th in the league for goals, and our team's leading point scorer, Weaver has been performing extremely well to help lead Houston. Weaver also leads the league in hat tricks with two under his belt already. I am excited to see how this capped TPE left winger can compete against the league for the remainder of the season. Todd Cooke @l1l KRZY l9l is next on the list. I drafted Cooke 10th overall in the draft after hearing good words about him from his former GM in Ottawa. Cooke is another one of our capped players who plays big minutes as our number one center. Cooke and Weaver have been paired together all season and both lead the team with 14 points. But while Weaver scores goals, Cooke is there to assist them. Cooke already has 8 assists in 12 games to lead our team, as well as 6 goals to go with that. It is a lot of fun putting Cooke on all of the lines because he is a player you know can play anywhere, in any role. Our first waiver pick up is next! Brayden Albrecht @Gage2 has been a total treat in the locker room and on the ice. Albrecht is a point per game player with an even 6 goals and 6 assists so far. Gage earned a gorgeous 10 capped TPE in his first week of joining, something to make a VHLM GM tear up. Gage has been hard at work, willing to learn, and a super chill member. I am so happy we scored him and Albrecht this season, as I've only had good things to say. To finish up the forward core, we have Cash Aleksic @glass and Alex Ovechkin II @Bruh. Both quality top 6 forwards who have been performing above standards. Starting with Aleksic, a recreate player of glass' who we signed to waivers. Aleksic joined a few games late and has already put up 9 points in 8 games. He also is already tied for game winning goals for our team. Glass has been nice to have in the locker room, and is willing to learn the TPE earning ways, so I am super happy to have him on the team. Moving over to Ovechkin II. I snagged Bruh's player in the 4th round of the draft at 34th overall. Unfortunately I haven't heard any word from Bruh since, but he is updating weekly still and his player is good, so that's a W. Ovechkin II plays a lot of second line minutes, usually playing with bots but still has held his own. With 9 points in 12 games and our team's leading hitter, he is on pace for a really good season while not even being 100 TPE. Moving onto the defenseman, the lone soldiers on the blue line Jani Karppinen @ShawnGlade and Izaak bobs @izaak. As a skater, you usually look towards the point column each game and hope for the best, these two players though have been our lower point getters this season. But with 8 and 9 points in 12 games, I really don't see that as horrible at all. When I look at these two I see Karppinen with 28 shots blocked, being the highest on our team and 2nd in the league, and then I see bobs as our big body defenseman with 27 hits, 2nd highest on our team. These two play a great defensive game which we extremely need since Houston has such a small roster. Both players sit above 150 TPE already and should be capped by the end of the season. They are great pieces to have on our team and we would be struggling without them. Shawn has also been fun to have in the locker room. Being Ottawa's AGM, I figured he would be quiet, but he is in there everyday chatting with the team and having a good time. Last but not least, our saviour this season, Bill Nye The Puck Stopping Guy @Big Newff. Coming out of the draft without a goalie scared me quite a bit, so I ended up scrolling through the VHL discord in hopes of a user without a team. I came across Newff and saw that he had created players before, so I gave it a shot and sent a message. To my surprise he answered back and was down to play between the pipes for Houston. Since joining the team, the players are pumped to not have goalie troubles, and Bill Nye has been killer for us. 3rd in the league for wins, 6th in SV% and GAA, and has already secured his first shutout of the season. Newff has also been one of our best TPE earners. After a bit of discussion, he found his way and has been max capping on TPE each week!! 114 TPE after two updating weeks in the league is insane and it makes me really proud as a GM to know I can help players achieve that goal. It has been amazing having Newff on the squad and I'm excited to see how he grows this season. I also need to shoutout my AGM @Minion. Minion had been looking for another management jobs for a while and I knew I needed to snag him. Lots of GMing experience, lots of energy for the team, and just all around an amazing person to work with. I went away this weekend on a camping trip and Minion held the fort for me perfectly. GO BULLS GO!

Weaver will be top in scoring by the end of the season

Your articles are so fun to read

1. Weaver has been a scoring machine for us already with two hat tricks, so he's my week's MVP. Bill Nye and Todd Clarke have also been top performers as well. 2. Better than expected! It's so hard to predict how a team will do with such a small roster. But we're over .500 and even had to play Vegas three times already. 3. With 8/10 teams making it, the key will be to just keep motoring and doing what we're doing. 4. Jimmy MacElroy from Vegas. We're hurting for defence and Jimmy leads all defenseman in points. 5. I think we're doing good for now, but always open for suggestions. 6. D. HELL YES! At the rate Newf is earning TPE, his attributes will be boosted even more by the end of the season.

Hey @TMGSosa! Welcome back, Houston’s got some good minutes for you this season if you want to come hangout. Quote this message with #FlamingBulls to join the squad!

@Shindigs chill out man please
