aimkin

1.  The team is looking awesome!  I'd say basically everything has been improved on offense.  Hopefully we can grab a big Dman and as much as I like Dilson, they are no Teno but they will still be an amazing goalie to have!
2.  Liv Slater!  My wife would be a wonderful addition especially because she is a top Dman!  Been stuck in Vancouver, caged by Frank lol
3.  Absolutely!  With the pieces Jacob added we are heading to the playoffs again for sure.  I want a taste of the finals one last time!
4.  You!  Aimkin all the way! Lol I suspect Sjin would take it if offered but with Ricer in the LR now we know who the successor would likely be.
5.  While AGMing in Helsinki it felt like Simon had limited capacity for great goalies.  Rask went from very good the season before to not great with a flick of that slider.  The separation between the best goalies and everyone else was significant.  Hopefully Dilson is chosen lol they deserve it!
6.  When it's open?  I don't know lol I feel like the main function of a door is to be closed, keep things out or in but if it's open, it might as well just be a hole in the wall.

For week ending 5/19/24
Answer 6, get 2 TPE. Answer 3, get 1 TPE
 
1. Whole bunch of moves this off season including some new teammates. How are you feeling about the shuffle?
2. If you could bring one player to London (no limits) who would it be?
3. Do you think we have one more good season in us before the true rebuild begins?
4. If Jacob were to leave his GM position to one United member, who do you think it would be?
5. What do you think is going to be our biggest struggle this upcoming season?
6. Riddle: When is a door not a door?

Well I didn't want to scare off the new people.

While the VHL Forums are crawling with guides and how-to’s, I have, since day one of joining, thought that the one guide we are missing here is a rundown of all the slang and acronyms that we use daily here both on the forums and in the discord server. So, I present to you:

Aimkin’s Guide to Understanding VHL Veterans
 
I won’t be covering the STHS attributes as, thankfully, the portal provides that information.
 
GM – General Manager; runs the team. They come and go but some just stay and lose final after final after final.

AGM – Assistant General Manager; helps run the team but usually just does press conferences. Or nothing at all.

BOG – Board of Governors. Things that go wrong are usually blamed on them. Justified? Sometimes.

PRESSERS – Short for Press Conference. Easy weekly 2 points if you just answer some questions.

THE E – Refers to the VHLE despite having the same number of letters.

THE M – Refers to the VHLM despite also having the same number of letters.

FA – Free Agent; a sports term used to describe a player who is not currently on a team or contracted to join a team. They are available to be added to a team.

S## - The letter S followed by numbers is how the VHL shows or talks about Seasons.

$$M – One or two numbers followed by an M is the price of a contract for a player (generally considered to be in US dollars).

TPE – Total Points Earned; these are the points that you receive for completing tasks and can be applied to attributes.

TPA – Total Points Applied; TPE becomes TPA after it has been applied to an attribute. When depreciation hits, TPA will begin to differ from TPE as the Applied number will decrease, but the Earned will always be the total.

MS – Short for Media Spot. This is a point task worth 6 points and is required to contain 500 words minimum.

IA – Inactive; used to describe a member/player who has not earned TPE in a few weeks.

BLUES/ COMMIES – Refers to members who are League Commissioners. Their names are Blue in the forums, hence the nickname. The other nickname is due to the perception that they are the overlords of the VHL along with the mods.

OA – Overall; refers to the position within a draft. (1OA = 1st overall drafted, and so on.)

CLICKER – Refers to a member who logs in to click the Practice Facility and Welfare/Pension buttons as their only interaction and earning within the league.

GMOTY – GM of the Year. It’s an award where the GMs get to pat each other on the back for whoever they believe did the best job of not being bad.

TDL – Trade Deadline. The day when trades among teams are officially over. Also signifies the day that retiring players can recreate.

BLAME COLE – This one has lost traction in the last few years but used to be a loving way to blame everything bad in the VHL on one member.

SPARTAN SUCKS – A loving gesture used in Moscow towards its resident GM. 💛

I talked to someone at one point who told me they were actually confused by that one. Honestly I just take it as a compliment that it seemed like it could have been a thing.

Also, as a little something extra from stuff I've been learning through R coding, I've got a week-by-week capped TPE earning Cheat Sheet of the prospects in the draft. 
 

@LucyXpher  Thank you for waiting! lol
 

Condition: If Merome Dilson extends with London for the S95 season, Calgary receives LDN 95 1st.

@leandrofg to accept (again).

Thank you, my friend. It was an honor to play for your all these seasons and I'm so glad we could give Teno a career no one will forget. 

Well deserved!   Congrats 

My b. WOO THEYRE DEAD

The consistent thorn in the EU's side, the legendary netminder getting the rightful immortality and praise they deserve. Congratulations!!

TENO TENO TENOOOOO!! well deserved as ever, forever a legend. so proud of you @aimkin!!!

Mad respect for one of Kauppi's first teammates in the M. A well deserved jersey in the rafters to a goalie that was practically a brick wall and a crusher of dreams for teams they played against in the playoffs. Proud of you @aimkin and the things your player did for London.

WOOO THEYRE DEAD

Teno deserved an instant Jersey Retirement. One of the goalie goats!

Thank you, my friend. It was an honor to play for your all these seasons and I'm so glad we could give Teno a career no one will forget.
