Yeah I knew damn well this wasn't going to be short when I started recording it, but I didn't want the questions thread to marinate any longer than it already has, because I'm not super likely to get to them otherwise before 2022.

*LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED* I say bad words and butcher people's voices. https://anchor.fm/jardy-b/episodes/The-Nodesode-3-Conquering-the-Question-Thread-e1bhp6c In today's episode, we get through the rest of my question thread before they sit for the remainder of the year! - @a_Fork prods our generational gap - @Phil asks the important questions in life, and I realize after the fact I don't sound anything like him. Or maybe we sound identical? - I ease @Shindigs' addled mind with sound answers to his inquiries - @Dil tees me up to say kind things about him (listen to find out if I swing!) - I attempt to imitate @Beaviss' voice and fail spectacularly - Boomer reunion with @Arce Other mentions: @GrittyIsKing @bigAL @diamond_ace @Ledge @Banackock @Ricer13 @GustavMattias @McWolf @Kendrick @Victor @Renomitsu @FrostBeard @BladeMaiden @Tate @Sandro @CoachReilly @Will @Higgins @Knight Barely mentioned: @Peace @Rayzor_7 @thadthrasher @nurx

That's right, save the computers so you everyone can keep VHLing This sounds hilarious! I love watching people eat shit, especially on a playground

I'm not sure what this says, but keep up the good work Frank!

I looked at it too

First

I’ve been had!

@Rain and @SeanL17 both netting their first goals in today’s sim!

As would be your right

No

It’s never too late, Commies do what they want! Besides, bidding opens tomorrow. Also, re: DnD: I’m likely a barbarian-bard multiclass. A bardbarian if you will. CHA is probably my next highest stat (i.e “VHLGMGMEVHLEMGMMGGGM”), which I guess answers how I got to be VHL staff to begin with. Proof: my bonus action Drivecasts definitely gave inspiration. Definitely a weird subrace of Dwarf. Still renown for drinking and still resist poison, but can’t hold liquor anymore and also I’m decently tall and also my beard sucks.

CoC says I can’t leave most DNA on there. I can package some of my head hair too though if you’d like, I’ve got a dope hairline.

Yay! I missed you and these very much! Your voice is strong and confident today. Highlighting rookies is a wonderful thing that I’ve fallen off doing lately. Hearing about Kisslinger was quite nice! And I never knew any specifics about Dec 25, so that was also a nice educational beat. That’s why you’re the man Phil. Now buy my underwear in the Christmas auction.

The blue team before I was blue team myself. I guess Slobo, @sterling, and @Knight? I wouldn’t be against it, but the First Gen 10 TPE at 100 might be banned because TPE inflation. Also, it led and would perhaps lead to people sacrificing TPE to stay in the Minors longer, which is something @Beketov hates a lot, for reasonable reasons. My Constitution score is AT LEAST 16, probably more like 18. I’m also proficient in CON Saving Throws (though I roll with disadvantage when making alcohol related checks). FUSSY*! Damn Swedes, learn an English why don’t you. Obviously I cut the fuzzy bits off, jeez. What’s a VN? To be fair, he doesn’t NOT look like Weird Al! They have identical hair.

What a rollercoaster!

I’m super impressed you were able to get a laptop screenshot of that Audi, you’re a true multitasking talent! RIP to your drink

That could ruin your Euro Truck stream then!

Mexican #1 for me, hard to pick a #2, but I went with Indian because I pretended it encompassed Middle Eastern cuisine as well, which I also enjoy.

I’m fine with muting @Beaviss for charity. As long as we don’t introduce a 4th league I’m sure he’ll stick around for 6 months. Does muting include VC as well?

Poopy peaked :’)

- “I think the point of podcasts is to ramble for 30 minutes.” - “I have 69 shots right now.” Nice. - Shindigs is a fucking nerd. See the above post. - “I don’t know how useful Fighting is.” Not a lot of people do! - “No one cares about Faceoff stats.” Just you wait, S88 greatest faceoff player of all time coming at ya! - Forwards and goalies are definitely the “sexiest” positions, and that is ultimately why there’s a surplus in those positions. - I blame Morale for some of Miami and Halifax’s losses. I don’t know how significant it actually is, but I blame it all the same. - I think what a lot of VHLE naysayers who only make the “stepping stone” case forget is A. VHLM was and is just as much of a stepping stone, and B. I forgot my second point. I promise Increasing the cap in the VHLM and making it more competitive in that matter would not be good. That was literally ground zero of the VHLM’s very first problem, no new member wants to hang out and get pummelled in a league of 300 TPE semi actives. Additionally, as Beketov stated in another thread, your take on the VHLE is nearly identical to a common take on the VHLM half our lifetime ago. There’s always changes to be made, but the one that needs to be made the most is the attitude toward the league. I understand it’s hard to get too hyped up about a league that represents a small percentage of a player career, but again, that’s always been the case for the VHLM

- I’m an annoying piece of shit, so I guess the precludes me from being in the Moscow LR - I feel like perma-signing VHLM players could be problematic. I could see that leading to severely imbalanced rosters, not to mention it doesn’t fully get rid of the draft. Also, it’s not like the incentive to sign waivers doesn’t already exist. If a GM isn’t offering players, it’s for one of three reasons: 1. They suck, 2. Their roster is already too full and they feel the player would be better served on an emptier roster, or 3. The player already signed with a different team before the GM even had a shot at offering. Making the players permanent signings won’t make GMs suck less, it would encourage overloading rosters which isn’t good, and it would put even more pressure on GMs to be on constantly, which is maybe “good” but very unhealthy. I think if we wanted to restructure waivers, we’d need to address the issues you laid out AND some of these issues. Maybe we could develop a system in the create a player process where the new member is sent to a page where they can quickly and easily analyze each VHLM team, they can submit a Top 3 or 5 wishlist based on that info, and GMs are then notified? (Essentially, players offer GMs instead of vice versa) - Porn - I think large recruitment drives are ALWAYS good, there just needs to be some more coordination between recruitment and VHLM. I work in construction so I know that’s easier said than done, and lots of processes take time, but a couple extra teams would have been nice this season - “One and a half Aussies does a good job of checking teams for compliance.” I’m fairly sure they just stumbled into the DC thing, lol - I agree 100% that the anti-VHLE culture is way more harmful to it than anything about the league itself. It’s poisoning the well, as Al put it on our podcast. Overall, very well presented podcast despite the stresses of driving and all that fun jazz. 6/9.

I just assumed that our most renown TPE ho may have written some HOF or 40 in 40 articles

This sounds awesome but there’s a 0% chance I’ll be available. Have fun!

Wait, these aren’t the same thing? You really ARE old
