  1. My idea was to make him as old as the NHL is, and include every single trade with future considerations in the biography, saying he was tired of being trader all the time. So he decided to join the VHL in hope to play at least a few seasons without being traded.
  2. Noooooo you stole the idea for one of my future players, I was looking forward to writing the biography so much Welcome back! Also I can see the draft class switch hasn't been pushed, sorry it's me who bothers you guys @Josh @Beketov @Acydburn again
  3. To be honest, if “trade deadline” was the theme week even a season ago, it would probably be the first time I’d skip it (don’t take this too seriously, I say stuff like “this may be the first time I skip it” every season, and I have yet to do so). But as it happens, this was also my first trade deadline as a general manager. Which opens the possibility to lazily earn the six uncapped simply by re-visiting trade proposals both coming my way and coming from my side, and give my view on them. The first proposal came very early in the season rather than in the deadline week, but I’ll include it nonetheless. Mexico was offered picks for a depth forward, which I rejected. At that time, we had 7 forwards (one of them close to IA), 2 defensemen and a goaltender on the roster. All of the forwards have at least one season of term left, and the whole core should be over 200 TPE for the next season’s playoff run. The only way we’d trade one of them away would have been for a defenseman, or the other team would have to overpay – which they were not willing to do. The second time I’ve got engaged in trade talks was when an elite forward on one of the heavyweight teams was days away from going IA. Said heavyweight team at that time was in the position to trade one of their defensemen, so that’s what I’ve offered – a forward for a defenseman, balanced by picks in case said forward doesn’t update. They did update, so we didn’t re-visit the trade talks again. I shut down the third trade proposal on the spot. One of the better teams was looking to reinforce their blue line, and was looking at one of Mexico defensemen. However, even though we’re really aiming to go for it in S98, I had said we’re not folding this season, and said defenseman is a huge piece of our team, on top of being the team captain. The member had also said they would like to stay in the M for one more season as a 350+ TPE player, and there’s absolutely no way I’m trading away re-sign discussion rights of the face of the franchise. The next trade talk was really just me kicking the tyres rather than serious negotiations. I was looking for a third defenseman, mostly to reduce the ice time of a bot defenseman who has to cover any time one of the Mexico defensemen goes in the box. I wasn’t able/willing to offer much, so I had set my eyes on a defenseman turning FA this offseason on a re-building team. However, the team’s GM wanted to retain discussion rights with said defenseman (just like I wanted in the previous point) unless I offer too much for them to refuse. It was a short, pleasant talk with a team with bright future. The last trade I had my eyes on was what would be perceived as a lateral move and more of a locker room move. However, this may very well be an offseason move, so I wasn’t even mad when the GM didn’t respond – the message is probably in their message requests, not in their DMs. I didn’t push it, as it was really just hours away from the deadline, I’ll let the GM know immediately after the playoffs end to try to finish this move as an offseason trade or a draft day trade. With the trade deadline behind us, and a waiver defenseman already joining us, this is a group we’re rolling with into the playoffs. We may not be the favourites, but I like the squad, and a first round upset wouldn’t surprise me at all. Good luck everyone!
  4. @Knight If you do what Sadie says It would take care of the draft class. However, your previous player would be David David, not David Rashford, so you would lose the carryover TPE from Rashford. You can also unretire Rashford, then retire him on Monday. But a) I'm not sure if that's even possible when you have already created a new player and b) Rashford would get a TPE penalty, as per the VHL rules, section 13.2. As this is a non-typical situation with the cutoff not being immediately after the deadline and this is obviously an honest mistake, not some plot or circumvention attempt or whatever, the blues might be able to adjust your player's draft class and base TPE. @Josh @Beketov However, to be brutally honest, it is clearly stated here that the cutoff is on Monday: Honestly, if it's not possible to adjust the draft class and base TPE, I'd say just bite the bullet and roll with it, rather than lose Rashford's carryover TPE.

  6. Skalice (derived from skála - a rock; now called Stříbrná Skalice), Talmberk (now a part of the town of Samopše), Sázava (which is also the name of the river Sázava which gives the name to the whole region - Posázaví) and Rataje, yup. I grew up a bit downstream from that, about 40 kilometers from Sázava.
  7. Definitely. I literally grew up in Posázaví, the region where the games take place Vávra really nailed the game world design.
  8. Yeah, around the time I joined. I knew I remember that from my E season with Rome. The word probably doesn't stick to one's memory from the games, it wasn't used many times in them. I probably wouldn't have remembered it, and I've played all three multiple times; I remember it from the books. Honestly, The Witcher 3 is my favorite game ever. I use the soundtrack (not just OST, but I have all sound files ripped from the game) for my Witcher styled DnD world. But yeah, RDR2 is awesome too!
  9. You used to GM the Red Wolves iirc, right?
  10. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WC4n-RQE3vA&pp=ygUQd29sZiBpbiBteSBoZWFydA%3D%3D Definitely, vatt'ghern means a Witcher, and Geralt as the main-ish character was from the School of the Wolf Also according to the lore, Kerr still lives on the Bowen Island, runs his own brewery and bugs Frank every Summer about a player development job with the Wolves.
  11. I'm still a Wolf in my heart, it ain't that easy getting rid of me
  12. Hm, @Frank trading away a Bouchard? @Gaikoku-hito Hey, I've seen this one!
  13. My graphics are janky af, and I use GIMP for the bulk of work. PhotoFiltre for some minor stuff that can probably be done in GIMP as well, but I'm too lazy to figure out how. Fotor for some final touches. The jankyness is due to my skill - or rather the lack thereof, I had never done any gfx before the VHL - not GIMP lol
  14. Wooo, welcome back!
  15. m a security manager. I'm not dissatisfied with my job, but I've been keeping an eye on job postings in my city and applying once in a while, when I see a position I'm interested in that pays more than my current job. It leads to some funny situations as well. For example a few weeks ago, I applied for a position that requires fluent english (I'm Czech and english is my third language). I started actively using english after watching South Park in english back at middle school, and I've never used english in a formal setting, so I don't have a filter as good as in czech or german. Well, I dropped an F-bomb during the interview. The last interview so far was for a position that prefers someone with SAP software experience. In the motivational letter, I wrote that even though I don't have experience with it, I'm used to using AI to help me figure out the basics of working with programs I'm clueless about, for example recently I was able to create a few fully functional programs to collect and categorize data from a database of hockey games in Python, even though I had never used it before. It was last season's VHL games. That's all, I just found it mildly amusing.
