Being able to use tools and technology should be all good so long as you’re the engineer. I’m fortunate in that I have software on my work computer that feeds me synonyms and grammar corrections. I’ve had to stop using this for submitting PTs because it makes people think I’m a computer. I’ve accepted that for now but I think this is the way of the future. @LucyXpher said it best imo above, AI can’t replace humans for now. Not trying to open an argument on Milo Fox Scouting Report but I literally spent threes hours of my life writing and editing that. As stupid of a move that was I was trying to blow everyone’s socks off with the best scouting report ever. The whole debacle is THE reason why I came back with an unrealistic player so that people couldn’t claim it was AI. So I think this is a war that will be lost, concessions will have to be made to allow for further enhancements in the tools and technology available to us. I will not respond to anyone wanting to debate me on this because I don’t care enough to fight it. Which is why I genuinely dumb down my work before I hit submit.

Review: Okay, let's start by saying that the sig is the perfect size. Nice choice of render and great work on the color swap of the jersey. LOVE that font, holy heck is it perfect for the name Johnny Tsunami. I also like the background choice, and where you placed the render, and font. It all looks sweet! My only criticism is the logo on the jersey, you could use the perspective tool to shape it more to his body. When I do that with logos I focus on the shoulders and hips of the render. I am by no means an expert, still learning, but it's something I have started to do. Great work! 8.9/10

Doing sims five days a week instead of every day actually makes a lot more sense for the health of the VHL. First off, having to run a sim every single day is a lot, even if it only takes a few minutes. The daily grind can wear down the league's simmers and admins. Everyone needs a little time to breathe, and weekends off give that much needed pause. It allows people to step away, recharge, and come back more engaged. Another key thing is the excitement factor. When you have sims every day, it becomes routine. There’s not much to look forward to because the next sim is always right around the corner. But with a couple of days off, anticipation builds. People get excited for the next sim day, and that energy helps keep things fresh. From a logistical standpoint, the weekend pause allows for better scheduling too. Admins have a bit more time to handle any behind the scenes work, check stats, or fix bugs. For players, it’s easier to fit the league into their schedules without feeling like they have to check in every single day. The break gives everyone some flexibility, and the structure is easier to manage for everyone involved. Sure, daily sims might keep things moving fast, but having those two days off keeps the league feeling more balanced, helps prevent burnout, and ultimately leads to better participation overall.

This was a good response for me, lol. Thank you for being such a great friend during my time here, you make it fun! You rock

1. Who do you think will draft Mad Villain? 2. What teams would you like to draft Mad Villain? 3. What teams would you not like to draft Mad Villain? 4.

Well, here it is, I am weeks from the VHL draft, and I don’t really care. I remember years ago when I first began my time here, I could not wait for the draft, and now I’m not sure I’ll bother to sign in on the day. What does that mean exactly? Not much. I remember when I recreated and I thought at the time, who cares if it’s just a welfare check once a week? Weeks have passed since I last recorded a Mad Villain episode, and I haven’t missed it. I don’t really care. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved the interaction from my number one fan, @Thunder, who is a person that makes being active fun again. I just can’t shake the feeling that I don’t feel like I have much of a place here anymore, time has passed, and the fire that was once lit inside has now extinguished. So, what should I do? For the first time since recreating I thought of retiring again, but rather than do that at the very minimum I can go inactive, and some teams can make use of Mad Villain before he depreciates. I guess I would tell all VHL teams to be hesitant when drafting me because I don’t view myself as an everlasting member anymore. This might be it.

1. When are you going to answer your PC questions? 2. Will you do it in character or as a real podcast? 3. Is this just a way to cheat the system so you can gain PC TPE easily? 4. Why has no one caught on that you've done this for four years? 5. You think there is a better way to go about getting this kind of TPE? 6. Why you looking at my like that?

VHLM Rookie, Mad Villain:

Review: I don’t understand how Bana could possibly rate this boring as there is a lot going on in this graphic, and it’s pretty damn sweet. First of all, hell yeah to Kirby, and I like the placement of Kirby over the font. The render of the lady is perfectly placed and the effect you put around her really helps her stand out. The Davos logo placement and blending is a work of art, wow, what a great job to make it as the background. Love the font of the name, just not as much of a fan of the font that says Davos Dynamo AGM. Otherwise, this is a beauty! 9.7/10

Review: I like a lot about this graphic, the choice of render is solid, and the colorization of the jersey is seamless. The logo swap is solid, and I like the Toronto Legion printed at the bottom. For some reason I don’t want the name at the top, but it works well with the whole design, and does not look out of place. I think what I might do would be to add some kind of frame to the picture so it feels a little more like a card, but otherwise this graphic is solid! 8.5/10

1. Do you think Theme Week was specifically designed for your player? 2. Would it be narcissistic to think so? 3. Who would you say is a classic narc is the league? 4. How would you go about systemically taking down this narc? 5. When will this happen? Do you have a timeline? 6. Is Montreal smoked meat so bad, that's it's good?

The great news about theme week is that I get to write about my player, Mad Villain. The good news is that Mad Villain’s journey in the VHL has been nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster, a rich blending of chaos and charm. Don’t you just love it? From the moment he was drafted by the Las Vegas Aces, his time in the league has been marked by unpredictability. Initially a tool in the Villain’s grand plan for domination, Mad Villain’s innocent nature and pure joy for the game has quickly won over the hearts of fans. SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME- SAY IT! Despite the Villain’s attempts to mold him into a fearsome competitor, Mad Villain’s positivity shines through, with a heart that captivates the audience and leaves everyone guessing what he will do next. His growth, both as a player and a character is bringing a refreshing energy to the league that no one has done before, at least not to my knowledge, and certainly not with the kind of commitment to acting that I have undertaken. So, take that, naysayers and nonbelievers, just try and stop us now! 191 words

1. Where did the inspiration come for each character (Villain, Mad Villain, Pinky)? 2. Will there be more characters in the future? 3. Where will this end? 4. Can you really tell me such a thing? 5. Why you gotta be so cool? 6. When you gonna take me out?

Can you please add me to the ping list again, @youloser1337? Thank you

What was your initial reaction when you heard your name called as the 5th overall pick by the Las Vegas Aces? How do you plan to bring your unique style to the Aces, and what can fans expect from you this season? How do you see yourself fitting in? How do you handle pressure on and off the field? What are your personal goals for your rookie season with the Aces? How do you plan to develop your game to meet the challenges of the VHL?

1. Are you ever going to change your profile signature? 2. If so, are you going to create one of Mad Villain? 3. If not your player, what would be a good image for your profile signature?
