twists

How was I not even nominated for the regular season MVP lol

1. Ehh we fought hard we were just unlucky. I think it would be hard to say we weren't the best team in the playoffs 2. I really didn't, but I'm glad if we had to lose it was to the cup winners at least 3. Hit 500 TPE and go crazy in the VHL woo! 4. My goal will always be to win rookie of the year in the VHL so that's what I'm looking to do 5. With my new job I don't really get time off, but god will it be more peaceful and less chaotic at work 6. VR GOGGLES

1. Expected. We're the best team in the league after all 2. Well, I think VSN is bullshit 3. We need to simply eat their players. We are the larger team 4. When I'm on the road I just bang some of the opposing teams fans. Take that 5. San Diego because @Mysterious_Fish is their GM which automatically makes them bad 6. MOTHER FUCKING CHILIS THREE FOR ME

I got first again baby!

1. Not really, we've been a solid team with solid players thus far. I still think we make a very deep run. 2. Actually yes. I always start slow, but I'm leading the league in goals and points! 3. SO stoked. If we can win back-to-back cups we might go down as a dynasty in the VHLM which is hard to do! 4. No one. I always utilize @Pifferfish for some build help, then make tiny adjustments on my own. 5. It seems like offense always reigns supreme in the VHL/VHLM, so I have no problem pushing it further. 6. I wish I could return so we could 3 peat, but I will be in DC with the Dragons. I'll root for you guys though!

Return of the king?

That Ricer13 guy SUCKS

Thats why I wrote it!

Suspicious may have been the wrong word, but it was so funny that you called it out in like her first forum post.

Why does the VHL not have a dog? After the passing of College Football's best dog, Ben, I have decided that the VHL needs a dog. Dogs are amazing creatures and if I was at home more/had a yard I would certainly own one myself. I know many of the members of the VHL have dogs as pets and I would like to submit my appeal to vote a member's dog the face of the VHL. Everyone has shared their pets in Discord and on the forums so it seems we are due for a new mascot. I also request that everyone who has a dog post a picture of said dog in this forum topic. We can then vote on which dog the VHL will formally adopt. Moving forward it will be required that all sim result posts have a pic of the VHL dog in them, and everyone will be required to post "good boy" or "good girl" in order for Simon to answer your hockey prayers. Who's with me?

My Favorite Banned Users: @Kachur Somewhere in my post history exists a part one of this series, but since I'm lazy and didn't want to page through a bunch of posts I'll pretend this is a first. I know the previous article was about DougF and Diacope, but I have a new and exciting banned member for you today! I present to you: Kachur. Kachur The story of Kachur starts around the same time I initially joined the league. At the height of covid, we had a ton of active members and Kachur was one of those. However, as time went on he became known for being very active for a season, and then going IA immediately after. He may have even created more VHLM players than @dylanjj37 due to his inactivity. With most problematic members, there is always a file on them already. Kachur was a rare case in that he had never been banned before his "big" ban. His banning made a couple of members go permanently IA (well, they are still inactive to this day). Let's get into it. Like always Kachur had gone inactive for a few months. It may have been a year, I can't remember perfectly. In 2021, a couple of new members had made a big splash in the league. @Horvat98 and @Horcrux (for some reason the forum won't let me @ them). Horcrux identified as a lesbian woman named Erica. (Kachur was neither a woman, nor was he gay). Horcrux created an AMA type of thread when she first created. The thread is actually insightful and interesting. You can see @Gustav be suspicious of how quickly they had caught on with sim leagues even though it was supposedly their first one. "Horcrux" quickly made friends with @Shindigs, @JardyB10, @BladeMaiden, @fishy, Diacope, and @samx. She also immediately became enemies with @Spartan . Over the course of the next few months, she would constantly be trying to get Spartan to break CoC and get him banned. If you want more information about that feel free to pester Spartan, I didn't want to bother him with an interview (he's a busy boi). As time went on Horcrux began exhibiting symptoms of mental instability. She would have random outbursts at people on Discord that commonly caused her to apologize on the forums. Finally, she blew up on the forums on a fantastic thread titled "Sorry Not Sorry". She attacked @Moon and @Spartan in particular in this thread. Her final thread was titled "Positivity Corner" where she once again apologized for being so "divisive" and for spreading "chaos and disorder". She then blew up on Discord a few days later and on December 23rd, 2021 Horcrux, Horvat98 and Kachur were all banned for being multis. They had tricked dozens of users into believing all kinds of bullshit and it was truly a beautiful day. After the fallout occurred users @Shindigs and @BladeMaiden completely dropped off the face of the VHL forever. @v.2 had an interesting thought that Shindigs was very probably another alt of Kachur, but it was never proven. Users @JardyB10 and @fishy seemed to go relatively inactive after the events unfolded, but we do hear from them sometimes. Remember kids, you'll eventually slip up using your VPN. You'll get caught, and we'll all laugh at you. My sources are all from Horcrux's posts themselves. I can post explicit links if anyone is interested, but I'm tired at the moment.

@STZ you are a good GM

1. It's awesome, we're gonna take 1st baby! 2. Be aggressive. They aren't going to make many mistakes so we need to get out there and score early 3. Ice bath + coffee. Peak morning 4. We passed out candy to tons of kids. We needed to buy more candy lol 5. My gf and I got left and right crocs costumes this year lol 6. PUMPKIN PIE IT IS THE SUPERIOR PIE

Can't wait to write the lore on my favorite banned members

When is the VHL? We talk a lot about this league. We talk about its players, the teams, even what season we are currently in. However, we have never talked about when the VHL takes place. While the VHL solely exists to be the NHL in a parallel universe, I'm beginning to wonder when it takes place. In the parallel universe that the VHL is the #1 global hockey league where are we in time? Is it the 1800s? Has Christ been born yet? Maybe we're far in the future and we no longer procreate. We just generate new lives based off of a button called "create a player". Maybe the VHL exists in a time vacuum where no matter how long the players play, no one ages. This then forces players to retire after X number of seasons...wait a minute. It's all starting to come together. Maybe the rules we have created for the VHL are actually the rules of space and time in this parallel universe. Do our players die after retirement? Are they re-incarnated as a users next player? I don't have the answers, but its something we all need to take a deep look at.
