Ottawa is buzzzin

Get clickbaited. Yeah, so 10k posts, I feel like I should use this as some shameless content. Most of these posts were likely made on the old forum, and then I know they adjusted post totals when we came over. My forum activity was a lot more frequent on the old forum, and I think I actually offered some decent constructive content. Not so much anymore, case in point: this. So let’a explore how I (likely) got to 10,000 posts: Shit Posts - probably at least 8000 of these posts are useless shitposts. Probably trying to be funny and/or farming for reactions Reviews/Grading - I would bet at least 500 posts were grading. Back in the day I remember grading like crazy. Victor used to give our 10 TPE for the person who graded the most each season, so I went hard. Press conferences - I would bet probably like 150 posts.. I did use PC for most of my capped TPE since it came out. I posted questions as NY GM and then as AGM for both Moscow and Malmo. So I mean that was productive. VHL Magazine - I did a shitload of editions (like 300). Each had their own post, but then we also organized and constructed the magazine in a private forum. More importantly this is how I farmed most of my reactions. Point Tasks - I’ve done a lot of PT. In fact, I’ll likely break 10k TPE with Analfist. Save that for more future content. Donation Thread - I don’t even want to think about the amount of posts I’ve made about donations to Jeffery James..

Review: This is nicely done. Maybe the best graphic featuring a bird cage?? I like the effects and coloring. Very soft and nice. The text is clean, I love that font. I think I would have used the same font for subtext, or something even skinnier. The jersey change is nice but the color of the logo doesn’t seem to quite match which is the only thing really throwing me off on this. I like the subtle helmet change to really push it over the top. The effect on the background render is really cool, especially around the number; adds depth and really gives a nice background for the text. Great work! 9/10

@Spartan all rosters are complete once Ben selects..

Review: This is really well done. The coloring and jersey change is really solid. Seems like the two black and white squads in the league have the best graphics right now. The render effect is really killer. It’s interesting and clean and really makes the details pop. I’d be curious to know what you use. The smoke is cool and the ripple on the bottom through the logo looks good. The text is great, I like the main text effect and the subtext is nice where it is. the gradient stroke on the render is great - I think if you did that on the text rather than the 1px offset stroke it would look better. Great work! 9.8/10

@Ben mclaughlin skipped again, @Spartan @traphag you’re up.

@Bojovnik you’re up. @Ben mclaughlin please tag the next person up.

Interestingly Analfist is selected first overall by the Ottawa Lynx. I actually tried to join the team at Trade Deadline and received no communication from management - so I went to Houston instead. So far the team looks decent and we’ll put together. I’m hopeful for my future in the VHLM Once again I’m in a VHFL Group that is molasses. I’m the GM on top of that, so I literally have to watch as the timer hits 12 hours after every couple picks. This could just be Gentleman’s Agreement 2.0, but not really I think there’s just two new people… My son has been sleeping almost all night this past week. He’s four months old now and it’s been rough with the staggered sleep schedule. Glad we are seeing improvements! During my nights awake with my son I’ve been playing a lot of Xbox.. an excessive amount. So my Resolution was to read more and I’m attempting to do a book each month. I knocked the first book off for January, The Road. I’m about halfway through my second with Orwell’s 1984.

Review: Awesome work. The effects are really cool, I’m always shocked at how you can do these effects on the entire graphic and yet not destroy the quality of the render, specifically the face. I love the black and white look, the lighting reminds me of Christmas lights. Love your style and the Wolves players are always decked in the highest quality sigs! 10/10

Review: good work here. I can tell a lot of effort was put into this. Looks like a manip graphic so you used a layer mask technique to darken the back ground. The jersey change is solid. I think the coloring is well done not just desaturated. The text is simple but clean. The glow makes it all stand out. I think the basics are all there now - look into elevating your work through render effects. Overall good job! 8/10

I hope he gets FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY too!
