  1. to play, yes to manage, not this time
  2. Here's the initial one - I'll have some more once the good ones from the actual photographer come in
  3. I didn't have time to party too hard, spent so much of it going around to all the people. Took like 3 hours for me to even eat my second taco
  4. I mean once we're actually underway, that's the plan. Right now, I'm sitting around watching Pointless in the hotel while the hair/makeup person is working on Joan, and checking phones in case people are on their way (maid of honor will prob be here in about an hour, photographer in an hour and a half, and those are the next two unless the groomsman that's also the manager of the hotel decided to pop in randomly). The advantages of the groom not taking nearly as long to get ready
  5. This thing has been in the works for so long and then they had to go and throw a pandemic at things, so people can't travel as much. Timing is everything
  6. So today is it. 5 hours from now I'll have a wife Updates will come, but probably more likely to be tomorrow morning (or today late night)

    Houston GM

    So @McWolf and I have been discussing this - ironically wanted to discuss it between the two of us to save time over doing apps since it's midseason, but that didn't end up making it quicker. Anyway, we've gone with an existing agm, someone who doesn't have to prep on the rules and everything under the circumstances and has kind of already stepped in. Likely wouldn't have been the choice through apps just because of how new he is, but he's been great and certainly worked his way into the spot. Congratulations @Moon_50
  8. "everybody has at least 20" mariani has 14
  9. Giving me the same error. I was trying to donate from my Paypal, which is linked directly to my bank account. There's a few thousand in there and I was donating 50 bucks so it's definitely not a money issue. Not sure what's happening with it
  10. i swear if a quarter of everyone says their guy died like that hasnt been done a million times already
  11. While I agree that trivia when gotten from a shared answer list is too easy, I would also posit that trivia when finding the answers yourself is the hardest TPE on the site by a mile. While Dil's idea would get trivia back to its original purpose (and fair enough, if that's what the league deems necessary) I'd argue having to sit and actually find the answers every week would burn people out far quicker than they realize.
  12. We're still new to the post-Landry era, and he was basically just perennial captain, so this was a weirder one. The votes came in, and 1 and 2 were fairly clear, but there was a 3 way tie for 3rd, which to be fair just shows the team has a wider range of support which is always welcome. After no tiebreaking vote came about, I made the executive decision on the final A. I also certainly back the voters' preferences on the other two as well. Captain: @Domg5 Dominic Gobeil 1st A: @Acydburn Battre Sandstrom 2nd A (the one I tiebroke): @Gaikoku-hito Robert Bouchard
  13. It has come to the attention of the league that @Doomsday has gone a bit awol recently. McWolf and I have been discussing, and this decision is first and foremost for the health of the VHLM on the whole. Anyone who's been here longer than a week knows Doomsday and I go way back, and he's one of my favorite people here, so naturally I'm hoping this is as simple as life got busy for a few weeks and he'll be back at the helm before you know it, and someone with his history and reputation here certainly deserves that chance - but for the time being, it's not what's best for Saskatoon and for the VHLM. As a result, we are naming an Interim GM. Given the position the league is in, and the fact that it's never ideal to pick something up during the season, we've gone with an existing AGM who is already in on league talks and the like. Additionally, there is one current AGM who has been a VHLM GM before, has experience doing the job, and knows its ins and outs - and not to be too spoiler-y, but was in the final few names for the last crew of openings, and is more likely than not to get a position in the near future whether it's this one or another one. Full disclosure: this may be temporary, and the parties involved were informed of that. The position is Doomsday's until it isn't, and we don't know as of yet what has happened with him, so it's entirely possible things revert to how they were at the beginning of the season. It's also entirely possible this becomes a longer term thing, if for whatever reason he does not return to his normal activity, and the person in question is certainly qualified should he need to take the reins for good. Of all people though, Doomsday deserves the benefit of the doubt - he's had chances to move onto bigger and better things and has chosen to stay in the VHLM, so we know where his heart lies. Obligatory @VHLM GM tag so that when I later tag the person we're stealing from, they can't determine that it's them from the sake of having been tagged, and the others can't determine it's not them from the lack of one.
  14. Lambert is especially doing well on PP, 5 PP goals, tied for 2nd in that stat
  15. so how about no one else bother going for the funk @Mistxh J has already passed his season point total from last season, 17 games in
  16. 1. Favorite snack 2. Interesting talent 3. Who on your team do you expect to do well this season 4. Who on another team do you expect to do well this season 5. Do you have a player you consider to be a rival 6. Favorite game
  17. D Kasper Kankkunen and @N0HBDYto end it
  18. also deserves credit, especially compared to draft position
