If you need any advice on how to set up a RNG to make your decision, let me know!

Welcome to the Mercenary Club!

Get fucked Simon.

1. It's been a tough week in the EU with the standings going all over the place. Moscow is currently in 3rd place, but London is within range with games in hand, and even the wild card teams have a chance to catch up if we don't perform well. How do we hold our non-wild card playoff spot? We held it easily and I don't know what everyone was worried about. The Menace play best when our backs are against the wall. 2. As it stands now, we'd play Davos in the first round. How do you think we'd fare against them in a playoff series? Davos Schmavos. I'm not scared of some Swiss team. WE ARE MOSCOW! 3. Is there any team in the VHL, NA conference teams included, that you wouldn't want to play in the playoffs? No, as you may have guessed by now, Hammar Voss does not fear any team in the VHL, so bring it on. 4. Helsinki might be one of the most shocking rollercoaster teams this season, going from dominating the EU at the start of the season to fighting for a wild card spot. Do you think they'll make the playoffs? I have no feelings towards that Finnish team. I have erased them from my memory. 5. Our very own Ronan Lavelle leads the VHL in points, with Tomas Sogaard close behind in 3rd. Do you think it's likely that a Moscow player finishes the season in first for points? Of course I though that and in the end he did. I'm impressed that Lavelle took 162 less shots than Marner but still ended up with 3 more points. He's an efficient mofo. 6. Do you think any of your prediction picks look like they'll hit? Which ones? I have no recollection of who or what I picked, so it will not be a shock if I only hit one or two correct.

I need to change the way I pick

Dear SimonT(again),

"Retiring". More likely that he's....

1. What's up, Wranglers?! Theme week is over. Did you have any favorites among the bunch? I generally liked all of them, but the GFX entries were my favorite. 2. The trade deadline has also passed! Were there any trades you saw that were surprising? Not really. I've been focused on Moscow to be honest. 3. Where is your player's confidence level right now from our strong comeback? Well obviously my reply is from my own perspective, but Voss' confidence is OK right now, but he's only a pointless game away from having zero. 4. Which hole against the goalie does your player love to go for? Goalies: which hole is your least favorite to defend? Hehehehehehehehe. Umm, whatever gives me the greatest chance of scoring. 5. Are you watching any Star Wars this month? (May the 4th be with you!) No, not this year. Just don't have the time to dedicate to sitting down for that long. 6. What was your favorite game played growing up? Tabletop, video, and even physical (like tag/hide and seek) included here. Massive nerd as a kid, so Trivial Pursuit.

I'll consider it.

I feel your pain.

Hey SimonT....

1. We made a trade! F - Nick ShaunYoungca for D - Eurydyka Sklodowska Dudzinska. Do you think we made a good move? Well I'm not privy to the workings of the Houston Front Office, but if the very capable team must have thought this was an excellent decision. 2. Do you think we should make more moves before the deadline? Houston doesn't need to keep adjusting the roster. It's an honor to play for the Bulls and I expect the current roster to explode. 3. What did you think of the Retro Theme Week this season? I think it was a good theme, allowing users to reminisce and highlight past glory or aspects that they remember fondly. 4. After hanging out in the LR for awhile now, anything you want to see changed or added? Well I'm not in the Locker Room, so now I feel sad and disrespected! 5. With Summer coming for most of us, do you expect your TPE production to drop? Nope. I really don't have much of a life, so my TPE earning is incredibly consistent. 6. I have a friend that only drinks water. What is your favorite drink? Alcoholic and non! Alcoholic is probably Bushmills/Jameson Irish Whiskey and non-alcoholic is Monster Moscow Mule(but it's not available here any more...and I'm having withdrawal issues)

Guess what moron got a trivia question wrong(Fuck you Theo Axelsson)? Looking at this graphic, the first nice aspect of it is the dimensions. It looks great as a "poster" type size and allows you to do more render work and still use the text without ruining the overall result. The coloring and fade effect is nice and I'm a fan of that style of font as well. I like "Rashkal" in particular. The throwback theme is great and I think the whole thing works really well(as usual). Easily a 9/10.

Dear SimonT, Go fuck yourself. Warm regards, Vladimir Putin.

28. How was your player done so far this season? He's been OK, with some ups and downs along the way. It's only taken 1400+ TPE to have a decent season(Fuck you @SimonT) 30. Seattle is renaming their mascot. What are some of the most popular names for the fans to choose from?? Fozzy, Grumpy, Itsa(bear), Cocaine or Izthatafuching(bear) are my choices. 31. It’s theme week. If you were in charge of choosing a theme week, which theme week, would you like to leave to do? My theme would be "The Greatest VHL player that you hate". 32. Trade deadline can be a nervous time for some players. What does your player do on that day? It doesn't bother me really. I'm rarely traded and prefer to walk away via Free Agency! 33. Seattle is having a fan appreciation night. What are they giving away to the fans? I'm not sure about the Seattle fans, but in Moscow we would probably give away the most potent Bear Spray commercially available. 34. A local company has come out with a new beer. They branded it after the Seattle Bears what did they name it? What does the can look like?

Someone(ahem), got a trivia question wrong and therefore needs to find 1 TPE this week(FFS). I really like this logo. Everything from the colors to the font and the Hawk itself, work well together. I see what Triller is saying about the Head extending past the border, but even as is, it's a fine logo to throw onto a jersey etc. I think the grey tones near the render help to highlight it and add another dimension to the end result. Really nice one tbh, easily a 9/10.

I stand by my statement.

Jesus this sim engine is shit.

1. Moscow has certainly found a groove recently, having gone 8-1-1 in our last 10 games. What would you attribute to our success since our extremely inconsistent start? I think the sim is poop, but eventually the talent is too difficult to keep down. You suck ass SimonT, but you can't keep Moscow subdued! 2. Who would you say has been the team MVP so far into the season and why? Based on the stats page, I'm going with Lavelle. AK has also been good, but when you sit on top of the points leaderboard, you get a shoutout. 3. How would you grade your performance about 25% of the way through the season so far? What are you going to try to improve from here on out? Voss started slow again but has been a bit better lately. I'll give him a B- right now. I'll just keep trying to stay consistent, especially on the PP. 4. If you could make smoothies for the entire team, what would you put into them? Vodka, Lime Juice, caviar and cocaine. It's called a Super-kick Mule. 5. If you could fight any other player in the VHL (even your teammates), who would you fight and why? I'm a lover, not a fighter. 6. Would you rather play a game with a stick with no blade (the part you control the puck with) or without a skate blade in just one of your skates? To start the season, I think I was actually in scenario 1(stick with no blade). It accounts for my shitty beginning.
