Feel free to ask me anything, here or in chat, if you want.

I am not Streetlight, or Hustles. Right now, in this thread, I am Sam Helberg, a 22 year old living in a small town (<800 people) in Minnesota. I apologize that this thread will be a bit more than just an introduction. I used to be a kid. Those times were great, because I didn't have to care about anything. Growing up, baseball was my favorite sport (still is). I used to watch the Minnesota Twins every chance I had. I enjoyed playing baseball even more, playing on a summer rec league every year from when I was young up to the 6th grade. I played for my school team from 7th grade to 10th grade. I wasn't that great, and that's part of the reason I stopped. That, and also I didn't want my parents to have to pay a $150 activity fee for me to be able to go to practices and get a single at-bat and a few innings in the field during games. I was always a (school) smart kid. I got A's all the time. I graduated 3rd in my class of ~120; tied for first was my best friend and my middle school crush. Some of my favorite times back then were riding the bus back to town (the school was in a city ~10 miles away) with the two of them. I wouldn't say I was unpopular during middle/high school, but I definitely wasn't part of the "popular" crowd, though I had some friends who were. From 7th-12th grade, I participated in something called Knowledge Bowl. It's a team competition for "nerds." Knowledge Bowl was awesome, and I was much better at it than I was at baseball. So much more stuff I typed out and considered posting, but I probably shouldn't. I'll try to just make a short version. Here's some stuff about me: -I've never had a girlfriend. I've never kissed a girl. I've never asked a girl out. I'm too scared to shit of rejection that I would never. It sucks. Plus I just become interested in girls that I am already friends with (or who I believe I am friends with), and "friendzone" excuse bullshit, etc. -One of those ladies in whom I had an interest is still someone who I like to talk to more than others about how I am and feelings and stuff like that. She's a good friend, but the ship has certainly sailed on anything more ever happening. And since I'm sure this thread will be more interesting if I somehow bring up nagger, during High School when I had a crush on this girl, I talked to nagger about it. -I graduated college last May. -During spring break, I went on a service trip with 28 other students. We rode a bus to a few cities, performing service projects at each stop, and growing to be good friends. On one particular night, I was feeling shitty, and then later that night I wasn't. In the time between my feelings changing, I told this group of people some things about myself that I had told only a couple people in my life (and some things that I'd never mentioned to anyone). There was a thing that actually happened before that as well, which was probably more important in my turnaround, but if you care to know, you can ask. I don't know if there is anyone reading this anyway. So that trip, I like to think, had a pretty big impact on me in ways that if you care about, you can ask me. -Nowadays, I'm living with my parents. I don't own a car. I work at Walmart (I just recently started; I'm hoping for 32 hours/week, because new associates can't work 40). -Yeah, I'm working at Walmart after graduating from college with a degree in accounting, magna cum laude honors, and ~$32,000 in student loans. I wouldn't care about working at Walmart so much if it weren't for the debt that I have. Part of me wishes I didn't go to college, because I don't care too much about having a great job, but I'd rather not have this debt. -I'm better than I used to be, emotionally. I don't feel as worthless as I used to, I like to think I'm becoming more open, and I'm looking forward to the future. There are things that I want to attain (for starters, I want to earn enough money to get a car, then hopefully get a better job and move out). I like to juggle. I'm decently good at juggling three balls, but I can't juggle four very well. Nor can I juggle clubs or fire or swords (I can juggle spoons, though!). I play League of Legends and am on the VHL way more than I should be.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

I wonder if any other teams have two trades incoming...

That's a normal thing that people do. It doesn't actually mean he wouldn't want to draft you. It means that his feelings were hurt by your unconditional hatred.

The Vasteras Iron Eagles aren't a real team, for your information.

I can think of one who ought to be replaced.

I for one would hold out sooner than play on the same team as you. #RelocateKendrick

I'd like to add to the BoG hate by saying that Devise is unwelcoming to opinions and Kendrick equates them to "whining."

Gotcha. And I'd probably disagree with him as well, but the only reason Vasteras has the image that it does is because people like Kyle perpetuate the idea that Vasteras is the scum of the earth. Honestly, though, it seems like more people are defending Vasteras than calling for their move.

Was one of those options keeping Vasteras where they are? Because otherwise muffins needs not "chill" on his opinion that Vasteras doesn't need to be moved.

Also, I like to create discussion in the league. Nothing wrong with that, I hope.

Nah, it's just that I saw some new posts in Corco's GM retirement thread about how Phil doesn't want Vasteras to move and Kyle (or someone) does, so I figured I'd write a Fan590 and let people know what's going on, since there are people who care about what happens. And if I wanted to be on the BoG, I'd just say "put me on the BoG" and I would be put on the BoG. That's how I got on the first time, and I'm sure my return would be very welcome (and I'd fit in with the rest of the opinionated assholes).

Just so you know.

The point of the thread was to let everyone know that the BoG+commishes are forcing a move, not to seriously ask the question posted in the title.

It's better than Seattle in the state that they are.

Better than S18 maybe?

I'll be at my 174 TPE next season, so I'm fine.

Sorry guys, but Lloyd Light has 8th overall locked down.

Vasteras doesn't have much time left in the VHL before the Board of Governors and the commissioners step in and force a relocation due to the team's extended history of failure. The franchise has won just two championships, Season 1 and Season 26, and has made the playoffs fewer than any other that has been around since the beginning. Among original franchises, Seattle has made it to the finals eight times, the second fewest; Vasteras has made it just four times. Vasteras hasn't made the playoffs in three consecutive seasons since they made it during the first four seasons. That will likely change if they make it this season, but that alone would not save the team. It is possible, however still unlikely, that winning the championship would prompt the guys in charge to reconsider. They will not be favorites if they do make the playoffs, and they have recently spent a decent amount of time behind Cologne in the standings, so playoffs are not even a guarantee for the team that acquired former champions Niklas Lindberg and Ville Sixten during the off-season. But knowing that they could save the team and give them the option to stay, if that's what the general manager desires, could be the extra motivation that they need to pull through in the playoffs.

Relocation is happening.
