Alright, sitting in my office, not much to do (most of the company took Friday off, considering it was state holiday yesterday), so I'm lookin at SAP (Fiori launchpad). Nope, I don't have these commands. Transactions I've mostly been working so far: - Production Planning (MRP): MD02, MD04, CA01, CA02, CA03 - Production Planning (BOM): CS01, CS02, CS03, CS12, CS15 - Materials Management: MM01, MM02, MM03, MM06, MIGO, MMBE, MI09 - Controlling module (Costing): CK11N, CK13N, CK40N, CK24 All our Project Engineers are partially SAP admins from the look of it lol. We pretty much maintain everything related to our projects in SAP as well. Create the materials and BOMs we work with, making sure materials that have been replaced are flagged for deletion, making sure all our materials are properly costed etc. Basically the company doesn't want to hire an extra guy who would take care of these SAP management things, so they just train us tp do these tasks related to our projects ourselves. But the pay is good, so I'm not complaining that much lol. I started in March in QC for the company, but they soon moved me to mechanical engineering as a project engineer. I hadn't originally applied for this position, because I didn't have proper experience, but I guess fellow project engineers liked me lol

Mostly Material Master, some CS stuff (for Bills of Material, idk what does it stand for lol), CA (for Routing)

So...I work with SAP S 4/HANA now lol. The HR department loves it. The financial department loves it. All departments love it...except for us, the mechanical engineering department. But who gives a damn about mechanical engineering department in...checks notes...engineering. Right? It really seems like primarly an accounting program to me. So unintuitive for our purposes.

Ever since I was appointed as a GM, I'm forgetting to take part in VHFL, predictions and Super Coach - I post these in the LR, think to myself "yup, that's taken care of" and forget to do them myself

@MichkovSzn lfg!

S98 was a major leap forward for the Kings, compared to the last season. But after a solid refular season and a first round series win against the Hounds, the Kings met the giant @SMYLS4 created in Houston just across the brook from us, one of the most dominant teams the VHLM has ever seen. While we were able to go toe to toe with them for games 3-5, we had dug ourselves a hole too big to get out from, going 0-2 to start the series. Despite the bitter end, this season was filled with individual highs and some great stories. It is with great pleasure I can highlight one such story - the story of Ronan Amnon @Breeze837, a career King and a face of the Mexico blue line for as long as I've been around the team. Before being appointed as the Kings GM, I had spent the previous two seasons (and a bit) there as a player, sharing the blue line with Ronan. When my player joined the team in late S94, Amnon had been a premier defender in the 200-cap league and already had a season with the Kings under his belt, as he had joined the team in late S93 and was drafted in the 2nd round of the VHLM draft to return back for S94. In his first full season with the Kings, Ronan immediately established himself as a premier two-way defenseman, scoring 10 goals and 47 assists for 57 points, with +15 rating, 161 hits and 116 shots blocked. He also immediately gained a reputation of a team player, who's a dream to work with for any coach as he's always been really receptive to coaching advices on what areas of the game to focus and improve. A great testament of how well can @JCarson , Mexico GM who drafted Amnon, work with people as well as of his understanding of how the game works. In his second full season with Mexico, Ronan build on his already impressive offensive numbers - especially goals - as he scored an elite 25 goals to go with 44 asists (69 points, nice), 137 hits and 121 blocked shots. Clearly, the increase of his offensive output didn't come at the expense of his defensive game, as that's an area of the game he's always been proficient in. The plus/minus rating took a little dip, going from +15 in S94 to -8 in S95, but realistically - to what extent is it an individual stat? S96 brought the increase of the TPE cap from 200 to 400, a dip in production was expected for all players. This was the case for Ronan as well, but he still managed to outperform the expectations and went on to score 13 goals and 40 assists for 53 points, -9 rating, 60 hits and 120 blocked shots. The offensive production was still on a really high level, the biggest difference was his physicality. Ronan has never been a physical force, but rather a smart, mobile, positionally sound defender. This style of game and his hockey IQ allowed him to recognize he has to take fewer risks now, with a lot of players used to playing a level above the VHLM have re-joined the league. Rather than trying to outmuscle older, tougher and more experienced players, he was using his stick and blocking shots to still bring a huge value defensively, on top of his consistently high level of offense. After the S96, Ronan became a free agent for the first time in his career, as his rookie contract with the Kings expired. However, he decided to re-join the Kings once again. S97 was a down season for Mexico City, as they had had some key players graduating. For most of the season, it was only Amnon and Carl Erhardt @Elite Steel guarding the blue line. With this in mind, it's only expected that some of Ronan's stats took a dip. On the offensive side, he became a 20-goal scoring defenseman once again, this time in a 400-cap league, as he scored 22 goals on career-high 214 shots. His assists and points went down to 30 and 52 respectivelly, but even the best playmakers in the world can't record tons of these, when the team is lacking firepower. the minus-33 rating looks brutal too, but it wasn't the resul on Ronan's defensive game, as he recorded career high 167 shots blocked and 76 hits. He was an elite defenseman on a struggling team. The "struggling team" was the reason I was unsure about Amnon's interest in coming back with the Kings, as he had previously stated that despite his interest in staying in the M for one more season, he'd like to test free agency to see what the options are. But in the end, he decided to sign with the Kings for his final VHLM run in S98. And what a run it was. One fewer goal than the previous season with 21, but a career high in assists and points, with 53 and team-leading 74 respectively, with career high +16, 14 hits and 110 shots blocked. With the Kings blue line being arguably the best in the league and other players taking major defensive roles, Ronan was able to focus on creating offensive plays and showed a level of playmaking prowess that hadn't been seen in his game previously. He was one of the league's most dominant two-way defenders, and I sincerely hope he will be considered as one of the best defenseman trophy contenders. Ronan Amnon's VHLM career stats: 375 games played (all-time franchise leader) 91 goals (all-time franchise leader among defensemen) 221 assists (all-time franchise leader) 312 points (all-time franchise leader among defensemen, 2nd overall) minus-32 rating 280 penalty minutes (3rd all-time) 562 hits (5th all-time) 937 shots (all-time franchise leader among defensemen, 4th overall) 667 shots blocked (all-time franchise leader) 19 game winning goals (all-time franchise leader among defensemen, 2nd overall) With a career like this, I can not make a single argument against Ronan Amnon's number forever hanging from the rafters, joining @SDCore Shush Nyko's 13. But Ronan Amnon was not the only player to make an impact in S98, it's time to move to recognizing some more players with the team awards! Disclaimer: While Ryan Mantzz @Rkhockey9 was arguably the best player on the team since joining us, he only played 20 regular season games with the Kings. While you changed the dynamic of the whole offense and we all appreciate you joining, I'm afraid the limited time disqualifies you from winning most of the team trophies. Rey del Hielo (The King of the Ice) The player dominating the game. The player without whom we wouldn't have been the team we have been. The Most Valuable Player of the regular season. Sombra del Rey (The King's Shadow) The player who might have been overlooked a bit, staying in the shadow cast by the King of the Ice having the spotlight at them. Probably the MVP on most of the VHLM teams. Guerrero de Acero (The Iron Warrior) The player sacrificing the body for his team. Whether it's giving or receiving a hit, blocking a shot or dropping mitts, this player is up for the challenge. The toughest MF on the team. A player you love when he's on your team, but hate when he's not. Guardia del Rey (The King's Guard) The last line of defense in front of the goaltender. The player whose job it is to roleplay Gandalf the Grey preventing Balrog from crossing the bridge in the mines of Moria. The team's best defenseman. Cañón Azteca (The Aztec Canon) The player who the opponents don't want to see with the puck on the stick close to their net. It doesn't have to be the player who had recorded the most goals, but simply the most natural shooter. Goals, shots, shooting percentage, the ability to get the puck through the traffic, anything and everything. Commandante del Ataque (The Commander of the Attack) Some players prefer to be involved in the front lines, while others prefer to direct the attack from the back, making strategic decision and distributing the puck among their teammates to put them in a good position. Not necessarily the player who records the most assists, but overall the best playmaker. Ascenso del Rey (The King's Rise) The player who made the most progress compared to their last season. Maybe it's their confidence, maybe it's their deployment, but they were the most improved player. Soldado Incansable (The Relentless Soldier) This is one of the off-ice trophy that has to do more with the member than with the player. I'd like to show appreciation for hard work put into getting involved in the league and earning TPE. By default, this award would have gone to @Josh Peter Venkman, as probably no one does more for the league than a dev and VHL Commissioner. But I'm sure Josh is okay with highlighting dedication of others, especially first generation members who have immediately stepped in and are already establishing themselves as one of the more active members of the community. Alma del Equipo (The Soul of the Team) The second of the two member awards, rather than player awards. The player who was the most active in the locker room, getting involved all the time, hyping the team up and overall being a great presence and a great member of the community. (Shame you've joined the team late, @Rkhockey9, it's been awesome having you around!) @preds @SleepyPlayz @VOID Stiles @Zurgzz @Rkhockey9 @FlyingWV @Lochlan Chisholm @Bhockey17 @Elite Steel @Josh @Breeze837 @tinafrombobsburgers @STZ @shaun1979 Not team related mentions: @SMYLS4 @LucyXpher (Claimed as a Media Spot; word count: 2k+)

Look at that beauty Great sig!

Let's do this!

Holy tiddee, welcome back!

1. They're paid to play, and play they will! No time for being lazy and collecting rust. As a wise man (Bill Guerin) once said: "F**k that! This is about f**king winning! 2. I don't know what's Simon's problem with Martinez. The build is great, the deployment is there...I believe Simon comes around and Martinez scores like 2 hattys and 10 points. 3. I believe it will comq down to him, Martinez, Pepe or any one of our defensemen, I really don't dare predicting. I don't want to jinx either one. 4. That's...a good question. I will do team awards after this season again, I won't respond. Just in case I'd spoil anything. 5. Damn, I've been on low-carb for forever. French toast has always seemed weird to me. A cultural thing I guess. Here in Czechia, once you dip bread in egg and throw it in a pan, it's a savoury breakfast/dinner, not a sweet one. I've never been a waffle guy, so I'm gonna go with pancakes. I'd prefer crépes tho, with homemade jam and sweet curd. 6. I know it's a massive city. I'd say 7 or 8 million?

Claim 4/4 for week 4/20

Hope you'll be applying for MIA job!

Damn, it's still more than 2 days before the draft, isn't it too early? Jk, congrats Ricer!

That name is flipping awesome, welcome!

I though Perrier only comes in small bottles Welcome!

6'3, a Big Ben from Canada! Welcome!

Honestly, discord locker rooms is what makes this place so awesome. Players give us storylines and reasons to rib each other, but as most of the veterans can tell you, VHL is really more about the community. I didn't even have a discord account when I joined haha. Welcome!

Future Team Asia superstar? Welcome!
