Punctuating a sentence fragment like a full sentence doesn't make it a full sentence.

This would have been grammatically terrible and I would have given you a 4.

Only two people I can remember regularly losing points: GAllen (I think that was his name? The guy who kept creating Art Monk) and JCool. Even then it was usually football leagues. It's just that those two guys wrote at about a 3rd grade level despite being fully grown adults (Monk was like 50 something I think).

Your gm is from Pittsburgh...

Gyrfalcon already has 14 wins, and you don't think he'll get to 40?

it took long enough for you to do another one of these that i forgot about it and fell for it again, which i hadnt done for the last like 10 or so

week 3 of 3

another big 2-0

Never was. This guy is going to the HOF

@tfong

@JigglyGumballs I got a lopsided one for you: We had the draft about 2 days before this, and I took James Lombardi in the 9th round. Jacobaa then offered a 2nd and 3rd for him.

Gyrfalcon for hof

To be fair he made it easier with that comment rather than harder

Good to see you back! Hope whatever took you away with Ryker is at least somewhat improved now, and that you can find a good spot with activity with Bourque that keeps you around.

week 2 of 3

@TownBizness no hard feelings here - you've been working pretty consistently in the VHLM and in normal circumstances I'd be looking forward to adding you to the roster next season. As it stands, we have a pretty big logjam at forward (already 10 forwards on the roster) and when Fonzi came to me with interest in getting you, I figured he'll probably have a better spot for you to come up into than we would.

As long as Ovrebo is still in Norway, I could see Tynan making a few return trips. One punch is not enough for that thief

Tynan Sylvester, VHLM prospect for the Mississauga Hounds, has just arrived back home in Belize after his preseason vacation. The destination: Norway, where the weather is much more what he'll have to get accustomed to before fully embarking on a hockey career. Why Norway, of all places, when there are plenty of cold countries out there if he wanted to go somewhere? Tynan gave three major reasons. 1. "Oslo just looked like a fun city to go to, most major European cities do, it's just something different and I was glad to be able to experience that." 2. "I wanted to visit the old Olympic areas and the ski resort in Lillehammer, they've still kept it up quite well as opposed to a lot of former Olympic hosts, there's even a museum there dedicated to it." 3. "The most important reason of all, and this in particular is a reason I'd suggest a Norwegian vacation to anyone and everyone. I wanted the chance to punch Tom Henning Ovrebo in the face. A good firm hit, square in the jaw. Seriously, has anyone seen anyone more punchable than that smug asshole? This has been coming for 12 years. It felt great, like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. It's been a dream of mine to make this happen, and the minute my signing bonus showed up in my account, I booked the flight. Sometimes you have to just go out and do the things you want to do."

I bulk claim, full stop. No caveats to that. No "well, I claim all my tasks once every month and a half, but I do X or Y every week" - that's not bulk claiming. If I say I bulk claim, that already kind of implies no about practice facility, as it's not available to bulk claim. Tynan's been a bit of an exception, as he's only existed for a few weeks, but Havlova generally claimed in about 80-100 TPE chunks. Still hit the 12 about 2/3 of weeks, and 6 on the other weeks - the important part is that a. the task itself is done in the proper week and b. that it doesn't fuck with finance caps, both of which are true of me.

Occasionally, very rarely though

I definitely dont

True, but doing TPE tasks =/= claiming TPE, which was what Bek was saying in the comment you quoted. If strictly claiming it is the definition of active, regardless of whether you've done the task, then there are a lot of contributing members to the site who are "inactive"

So for the VHL historians, there's always been a team that has stood out like a sore thumb: Avangard Havoc. Taken from the KHL team Avangard Omsk, whoever created the team did not realize Omsk was the place and Avangard was not. This resulted in them taking Omsk out and adding Havoc, resulting in "team name team name" such as Penguins Blue Jackets, rather than one of the words being a place. However, this phenomenon is not only found in sim leagues, but also in real life. The MLS team Real Salt Lake is an example. Taken from Spanish teams such as Real Madrid, Real Zaragoza, and Real Oviedo, the term "Real" (pronounced Ray Al, not like the word "real" as in the opposite of fake) is Spanish for "Royal" and refers to the team of the monarchy in some way. This makes sense for the Spanish teams, as Spain has a history of being a monarchy. It does not make sense for Real Salt Lake, who is neither Spanish-speaking nor has any historical context with which to claim a monarchy. Salt Lake City is in Utah, which is more Mormon than monarchical. The MLS in particular tried to go a bit too far with stealing European naming conventions, but most of the time it's harmless, such as Toronto FC where FC really just means "football club" and is therefore true. Which is a dumber team name? Can you think of any other examples of teams where the name doesn't even follow its own internal logic?

Yes Bek is Sharpe Also, I'll second what Adv said - good to see you back, I'm a pretty long term guy (started in VHLM S19 VHL S20) but still just missed overlapping with your era. Familiar with the name though
