That was @Devise doing @Beketov a favour, and sacrificed MT Powers career so that Holik wouldn’t get the current DeGrath situation. I’ll never be a GM without being their goalie. So for me having a 2nd GM Player means I get to make a forward

It’s ben bad for a while. Look at Holik situation before that.. it’s not new.

Coming from a member who has put 900+ TPE into a goalie on a rebuilding team - the fucking precious goalie market is dead already.

Exactly..

1/2. It would not reduce Player Count as GMs would be better off to have two assets instead of one. 3. Why do you need LR perms? Create discussion in the public forum, where its productive? I personally used to love it when locker rooms were tight knit and didn’t have any other GMs in it.

Useful to earn TPE... not useful to the league. Why not spend that time doing something fun instead of writing an essay no one will read?

Why would it reduce Player Count? Why would a GM elect to have one player instead of two? Why is it more fun to have additional LR perms?

No no one reads Bios and RPs and they are not fun to write.. it was fun my first player, after that is was boring and just a chore.

This is a suggestion I brought up in the past but wasn’t really fleshed out or fully realized. I bring it up again because I think that it is worth re-looking at. I’ll preface by saying I don’t mind the 2nd Player Initiative. I think it was done at a time where we were looking for a way to spark the league, and at the very least it has done that. I believe the system can work but with any system, revisions need to be made. Since coming out, we have improved the system but have neglected to elephant that has been in the room since the beginning and that is VHL GM 2nd Players. In theory, it would be nice to see a GM be able to enjoy the site in different levels - both as a GM and an individual player. However, it’s just not the way it is. GMs are always GMs first and will use any opportunity to gain the competitive advantage. That’s how it is, and that’s how it should be - I wouldn’t want to play for a GM who wasn’t doing that. With that in mind, and history as an example, GMs should just automatically get their second player. We have been trying to make this system work with complicated rules, but it would be much easier if we just made both of the GM players assets of their respective Franchises. It’s an equal playing field for all teams, and eliminates any drama. I think having two automatic franchise players on each team is good for the league and the competitiveness of the franchises. If a GM is worried about being able to keep two actives, maybe they aren’t the right person for the job..

I think we lack interest through the season. I think that is the biggest issue with this league, not so much recruitment. Members are lost during the season, not before the draft. We should eliminate RP and Bio and just have a single Seasonal PT for uncapped TPE in addition to a few smaller PTs for uncapped as well. We should be having a bunch to promote the league. Frame the PTs near the draft to feature the draftees, the PTs near the deadline to feature Deadline moves and the playoff race, PTs in the playoffs to feature playoff matchups. Get people invested, and spark their creative juices. Everyone is in a routine, they earn their TPE and leave. We should do more to get people engaged. side note: this Suggestion Drive is a perfect example of how a little uncapped TPE will get people motivated to be creative.

I understand the VHL has expenses, but t is no secret that the funds for the site costs are covered for the foreseeable future. We don’t invest the money into making the community better, it is seemingly just set aside doing nothing for the league. Hell, it’s not even being used to pre-pay for months in advance, so we need to deal with the site being down almost every single first day of each month. Either use it or lose it. I’ll continue to pay (not donate) to the site so my players don’t lose the advantage of paying - however call it what it is, a payment and not a donation. Let’s use that money to improve the site.

While I know that there’s a lot of pressure on @JardyB10 to be doing nightly sims, I can’t help to continuously go back to the idea that sims need to be more frequent. Im not saying we need to increase it by much but even if we increased it by like an extra sim every three days. Seasons seem to stretch on slightly too long (IMO could be shortened by a week). I think this would prevent us from losing the momentum we gain during off-season. It seems as though no matter what time of year, the long season plays a factor in people losing interest.

I think this one is a no brainer. Probably the most important league jobs is a VHL GM. We don’t pay GM’s even though they are expected to do all of the team duties on top of keeping our top members with players in the VHL engaged. We pay our VHLM GMs (which we should), what is the justification for not paying the VHL GMs? We have a shortage of VHL GM candidates, and this would likely help change that. Make this job as prestigious as it should be - as it once was.

1 for 1 pls.. your Osborne Sig is still one of my favs of any of my players tbh ?
