Ahh dang that sucks. I was definitely most worried about Europe after round robin, I wish World could have beat them in the semi-finals. I ought to thank @Flames1Fan for even getting us to the gold medal game. We came up just short though!

Oh right! Those top and bottom ladder folks are fucking me up. Never mind me then, continue being a good Fantasy Group Manager!

To my understanding, it moves back to you, and we carry on, and if he doesn’t jump in by the time we get back to him again, THEN he faces DQ, no? If so, I suppose it’s your turn again.

No worries dog, I definitely understand all that, I just thought it was funny that you happened to pin point hit on something I’ve happened to roll my eyes and rant about on the podcast in the podpast. Naturally I had to bust your balls about it . FWIW, contrary to my DISGUST WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION that I expressed in this show, I would have been totally fine with being drafted by the Wolves. Now prepare for 8 seasons of bad luck for this transgression!

USA D loses the game for the country

I’m certainly rooting for you! How and why were you on Team Asia last season, by the way?

You’re really on top of those 12 hours! D - Hard Markinson @Matt thunder Also @BladeMaiden

“Grinding for our 12 TPE per week!?” Excuse young missy, but back in MY DAY the most you could make was 9 TPE/week, and the only way you were doing that is if you got a gosh darn JOB! You dang kids these days and your free 14 TPE and being able to make 12 TPE/week just through answering questions asked by the GM, WHO ALSO GETS PAID! Makes me sick. DAMN ZOOMER SNOWFLAKES ALWAYS WANTING MORE AND MORE TPE WITHOUT HAVING TO EARN IT!

I was in absolute stitches listening to this, hahaha. The Juicextaposition of Thad’s angelic church choir voice really made this. As did the “Why did we do this?” “I love you, Juice.” It amuses me that there’s a reality where Yukon truly was 2 gud, and Thad just does a genuinely nice cover of Chug Jug With You.

Juice just didn’t want to be humiliated with food and karaoke anymore.

Super pretty!

I agree with probably everything in this thread and I'm here to echo the sentiments! Discord genchat is in fact dogshit if you're wanting the classic sim league interpersonal experience. I was definitely like you in feeling compelled to check all unreads at all times, but my work schedule makes that truly impossible. I've been able to get some enjoyment out of Discord through the following means: 1. Mute EVERYTHING, no push notifications. It's handy enough to have the channels let you know there's unread messages, but if there's 25-50+ unread messages in that channel, it's done-zo. And that's okay. If I do get pinged, it gets to wait just as much as a ping on the forum does. I've recently found that even if I get pinged in a buried genchat or something, the search function is handy enough that I can search for my pings and address them accordingly. For me, it's responding to the pinger by calling them a fuckface or something like that, even though it's a long dead topic. No regrets. 2. Stick to smaller channels or servers. Like everyone else said, team LRs are WAY more manageable, and are a bit more akin to classic forum LRs. As for the main VHL server, I get my kicks being able to keep up with only the Gaming and Puppy channels, because those ones don't get 1000s of messages every hour. Moreover, I'm probably going to purge my older servers soon to keep things clean. I'm still in Houston and San Diego's LRs, and while the people there are lovely, I can't make time for their stupid bullshit so they have to die. I'll stick around Miami for a bit, maybe even the whole season, since I'm curious how they'll do this season, but they'll be cut too. 3. Foray into the shittier channels at your own leisure. I'll always poopoo on genchat, but there has been a couple occasions I've enjoyed myself there during degenerate hours while I'm playing CK3 or something. Once again, it gives me the opportunity to bully @Dil, @a_Ferk , and @rory while keeping it very low committal, much like my relationships with women. I'm pleased with my balance of forum and Discord since my return, but it was definitely a slow process to integrate myself into Discord. It's nice for what it is if you manage it to your very own specific desires. Which for you may well be not using it at all, and that's totally valid. ... As a side tangent at Albert mentioning culture wars, I can see why that would be, as there are some Discord behaviours I find a bit sickening to be very over-dramatic about it. As you probably realized, the VHL has a pretty substantial populations of users who don't use the forums nearly whatsoever, or enough to claim free or easy TPE now and then. I'll notice some or perhaps many of these users on Discord in their respective LRs. In these LRs there's always this neat channel where you can type ".player" or whatever and a bot will pull up your stats for the season and TPE levels and whathaveyou. However, it's insane to me that some users will use these functions as the ONLY way they're keeping up with their knowledge of their own player and the league. Once the off-season hit, I would still observe people checking their player's stats as though they'd expect them to change, and it was as if they didn't even know we were in the off-season. I know it's different strokes for different folks, but it baffles me that one could get ANY enjoyment out of the league with such minimal engagement. I'd almost feel bad for going off on members who very fairly choose to be less active like that, but I know there's no chance they'll ever see this. Anyway, I'm a boomer forum elitist, so I approve this message!

Davos (PP) - When Poopy Peepants got the call that he was drafted 4th overall by the Davos Dynamo, he was just finishing his shift at his local Independent Grocery Store. Here at the Poopy Press, we got in touch with Peepants to recount how that phone call went down. "Well, I wasn't able to physically attend the draft because I wasn't sure if I was going to get selected at all, and I already agreed to relieve Kathy so she could watch her son's baseball game," Peepants began. "Then when Mr. Garcia called again...well I'll remember that conversation forever... PP: Hello? JC: Hey there Poopy, it's Jerry Garcia here again. I wanted to let you know that it's official: You're part of the Davos Dynamo, congratulations! PP: That's great news sir! But I really insist that you call me Paul, it's really embarrassing to me that everyone calls me Poopy... JC: Hahaha, you're hilarious Poopy! Anyway, I spoke with Jardy, and he's already been in touch with your manager at the store. You're done there kid! We'll work out contract details soon, but you won't have to work at another grocery store ever again! ...and after that I was in tears. I didn't want to leave my job here, and no one is ever going to call me Paul. Now I'm going to be on national television, and everyone in the world will be saying it. Poopy. Poopy Poopy Poopy Poopy POOPY! I can't handle it," Poopy said between sobs before abruptly ending the interview. The Dynamo have been making a lot of noise this off-season, and seem to be gearing up for a playoff run. They're hoping Poopy Peepants will be able to contribute to the team's success this season, and help bring the Continental Cup back to Davos. 300 words

1. We've made some BIG moves since the last time we talked here, bringing in Patrik Laine from Helsinki and acquiring the rights to free agent Gunnar Odinsson. Do you agree with our decision to try to turn things around this season? I do! I can't check the portal right now without @Esso2264 yelling at me, but I'm pretty sure there were a few players on the team that have a limited window to win before they die of old age, so I'm glad we're taking advantage of their remaining time there! 2. Speaking of Odinsson, what's one thing you'd say to our friend @BOOM about why we're the place to sign over anyone else? I'm here now @BOOM, and I will gladly collect all your lewd photos and deposit them in my spank bank. 3. I've hinted that there's one more big move on the way this offseason--what do you think it is? Wrong answers only. You're stepping down as GM and giving the job to @gorlab. 4. As there's no trivia in the offseason, what do you do instead? Do you do an extra .com task or try reviewing? Do you skip your last 2 TPE entirely? I often forget to do Trivia to begin with so I'll do Podcast (6) + Podcast (3) + Press Conference (2) + VHL.com Article (1). 5. Today it was announced that bigAL will be taking over as the VHL's third commissioner. How well do you know Al? Do you think he's the right one for the job? That wasn't today, that was on Wednesday. I haven't been around too long, but Albert seems like a top quality bloke, and he got my personal seal of approval for the position. 6. With VHLE GM applications open--would you like to be a VHLE GM? If so, why do you think you'd be a good fit? If not, who would you like to see get a job? Absolutely not, my days of leadership are over I think. I'd approve of seeing @InstantRockstar moving to the VHLE, and maybe a guy like @ajwllmsn getting a job if he's up for it.

Bro almost all of my podcasts are while I'm driving. Audio only, sadly.

Welcome!

Peepants looking down like he just peed his pants!

Shut the fuck up Matt, you're great!

IT’S NOT THAT SILLY @Zetterberg!

Those pathetic numbers for a forward are why he’s dropping to Warsaw’s pick!
