scoop

If I'm still around for two more years, I'll have been in the VHL for 1/3 of my life. wut

Got a mention. Life complete.

At first I didn't know it was Kesler, even with the shirt. Thought it was supposed to be Kesler's sister or something.

"Hey we're the Lynx and we're really good at hockey game." OR NOT

Coach and Flyersfan with three, STZ as the other with two (along with you). Not certain on STZ, but I believe Coach and Flyersfan are correct.

Has anyone made the joke that they need permission to a locker room that they shouldn't have permission to?

This is now a signup thread. Since I like trivia, I am thinking about starting a VHL trivia podcast series. Before I start creating a question bank, I'd like to see if there is interest. So if you might like to be a contestant, let me know. And if you're a newer member who is interested but wouldn't know much of anything from before S30 or whenever, I would likely allow you to request that I only use questions from when you joined and beyond. As for the format of the game, I haven't decided yet, but I don't think that it will a competition like the one time in the past that I had a trivia podcast. Rather, it'll just be one person (maybe a team of two) being asked questions. But right now I'm more concerned with gauging the interest than any of that, so let me know if you would like to see it happen.

Shirokov and Pogge?

Anyone can ask a question, and we could have several ongoing questions, it really doesn't matter. I just like trivia so I started this thread and it would be neat if other people were into it. For now, I'll stick to Hall of Fame stuff because I'm doing some research. Who was the only player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame by himself? (ie there was no other player inducted into the Hall of Fame that season)

Outlaws Wild Blades Wild

Wild 3-2

That is correct!

I'm going to start this thread with a question. When someone gets it correct, someone else (or myself again) can ask a question to keep the thread going. Or we can let it die, I don't care. Which VHL player had the longest wait after retirement to get into the Hall of Fame? This is now a signup thread. Since I like trivia, I am thinking about starting a VHL trivia podcast series.

Which season comes to mind first? Second?

I hate that even just for now Lloyd Light is on Riga's roster.

I pretty much agree with this.

I'm saying that if predictions responses weren't posted publicly, I believe the GM (or an active team leader) of every team would post their predictions in the locker room for people to copy if they wanted to, knowing that not everyone would want to create their own predictions.

I'm working on collecting data from the S39 predictions thread for a media spot or two, and it's pretty easy to see that a lot of people make their predictions by simply copy/pasting what someone else posted. For example, nine people predicted Keiji Toriyama to win playoff MVP. This was something that I predicted in the third set of predictions. Obviously people copied my predictions; no one actually thinks Toriyama will win. Another thing I noticed was that for one of the awards, possibly playoff MVP, there was a name that popped up for the first time on the third page (or maybe late on the second), and from then on a bunch of people predicted it. Heck, last season, Kyle posted that he would just copy Jardy, who hadn't even posted in the thread yet (and laughably, Jardy never posted in the thread). On one hand, I do think it would be neat if people made their own predictions, but at the same time, I don't think it's the biggest of issues when you consider that it may make it difficult for fringe new guys who don't want to have to put in the effort of doing some research to see even which teams are good (let alone who might win Top Leader). In the midst of working on this, I decided to set up this poll. Here is what I had in mind when creating each poll option. 1. Yes; and we should discourage people from giving their predictions to others Even if we don't have people post their predictions on the forum for all to see, I think every team in the league (VHL and VHLM) would have a thread in their locker room where someone has posted predictions to be copied by anyone who doesn't desire to make their own set of picks. This first option is basically saying that if predictions were changed, we should also tell people that we'd like for them NOT to do this. 2. Yes; but we should not discourage people from giving their predictions to others This option states that we should allow people to give others prediction sets to PM to whatever account is in charge of them. One issue with doing this might be that it excludes new members who are not in any locker room, and these are some of the people who most need help with predictions. One way to combat this could be that when the predictions thread is posted (even if predictions are PMed, we could have a closed thread with the template, instructions, etc.), members can be directed to someone if they desire assistance with their predictions. 3. No; nothing would be solved because people will still get predictions from others As I said, people will still be copying others. However, if predictions were PMed, people would copy someone on their team instead of some random person who posted in the thread first (or more recently). So would it really change anything? I do think that it's possible that there would be fewer people who simply copy, as they might want to send in predictions before someone posts some in their locker room. 4. No; it's a good idea, but the extra effort wouldn't be worth it Maybe it would be beneficial in the terms of curbing the issue with copy/pasted predictions, but there is extra effort required not just for the people who might now come up with their own picks instead of copying. Whoever ends up tallying the prediction points would probably have a more difficult time. It would probably be easier for that person to look through a thread than through 70+ private messages (the account that is receiving the PMs would be a new account made for this sole purpose). 5. No; I don't believe there is any problem Maybe this isn't an issue. Maybe you think it's alright that very possibly more than 50% of the people don't make their own predictions. Or maybe it's not as many people as it seems. Some people also probably don't just copy a random set of predictions, but look for one that they mostly agree with and use that one.
