  1. 1 cup down, 1 to go. If Calgary takes it, I do the double this season!

      Try doing a triple then talk to me

  2. When you stop halfway through a reply because 3 pts come in, then get back to the message when the pts are finished only to get an error message that the thread is gone...

  3. @Hybrid1486 I see you on, make a guy :P

  4. @Gooningitup I just found out there was a real Vladimir Komarov, so I looked him up. That was one tough, brave man. Knows he's about to die but he does it anyway

      He knew the Soyuz 1 was not safe for a manned flight, even though it had succeeded on an automated flight. He went up anyway because if he didn't, the Russian government would have made Yuri Gagarin go instead. Before he went up, he'd made arrangements for an open casket funeral so people could see what the Russian government did to him. Sure enough, he was right, he went up but he didn't come back.

  5. I see you on. Make a new guy :)

  6. Already almost twice Hrdina and more than half Hyvarinen, and I'm just going into my 2nd post-draft season. I think I'm back even more than I had intended in the first place :)

      Twice Hrdina, more than half Hyvarinen...but what's the ratio to Brookside?

    2. diamond_ace

      diamond_ace

      A little over a quarter - although that's where you start getting into how little is a little. I'm also a little over a quarter to Intranquilo, who was about 50 more than Brookside.

       

      244 currently for Lawson. 422 for Hyvarinen, 908 for Brookside, 922 for Marcellin, 956 for Intranquilo. (Marcellin retired a year early, would have been the highest, but GMs do what we must). 244 x4 is 976, so I'm more than a quarter of any of the 900s, but 244 x3 is only 732, so definitely not a third yet.

       

      I came into this expecting 700 or so for Lawson. I figured I'd be a Sandro. Yet I'm definitely less than a third into the career

  7. Chat is back. Remind me to click it to Offline every time I'm on from a new device. So far I've only gotten messaged once - not a bad ratio

      The whole thing with people complaining about other people getting offended about stuff has gone too far, across most of the internet. There are genuinely times where getting offended is the proper reaction. There are people who go out of their way to be offensive, just so they can point fingers at the people who get offended by it. People get offended about too much, but going to the opposite extreme and expecting no one to be offended about anything isn't the right balance either.

      Still though, this is derailing the original point

      @diamond_ace wtf :lol::lol:

       

      Chat is just a more convenient way to PM it's not like if you ignore someone's chat it's the end of the world lol

       

      And I had no idea I was such a nuisance to you. I'll be sure not to contact you again then

      You've been both ends. Your messages on facebook were actually what got me to come back. Plus you were the heir to my throne in Calgary. At your best, you're probably one of my top 5 members on the site. It's just... all the chat. It got repetitive and annoying pretty quick. Like I said though, don't take that as all of it, in other aspects you're seriously one of my favorites

  8. @Beaviss you were a point short

      catching S21 Ottawa. I'll still do the 590 though, just because I think it'll be fun

    3. Beaviss

      Beaviss

      You could always compare the two teams I’d be interested in that.

    4. diamond_ace

      diamond_ace

      Basically what it'll be, just with a little extra part about S53 Ottawa since they're the highest point total Ottawa team

  9. BET, posting out here for accountability's sake: if Beaviss' current Ottawa ends up with a better point total than my S21 Ottawa (he can only drop 5 points the rest of the way, so I think it'll be pretty close either way) I have to write a 590 about the top 3 Ottawa teams (his, mine, and S53).

      Then I don't have to, but might decide to anyway, since it gives me an opportunity to showcase one of my old Ottawa teams a bit

  10. No matter how ridiculous a conclusion is, if a person believes it, the only way that belief will change is through their own introspection on the issue. If 50 people believed murder was fake and no one had ever been killed by the hand of another, and you showed them crime scene pictures and video of an actual murder, at least 35 of them would claim the pictures and video were fake before acknowledging that they may have been wrong.

  11. If a locker room has enough talk in a short period of time to become "hot" it still doesn't show up to the public right?

      @Higgins I was so confused at first lmao

      For everyone: no. For admins... kinda? I can see that the post is hot and if I click on it I can see the post but not the rest of the locker room activity. If I try to click on any other topics in there it doesn’t allow me. @hedgehog337 can confirm.

    4. Beketov

      I looked into it. Basically commishes can see topics but not the forum itself (I guess so that we don't have like a million forums to scroll through) so if something gets pinned as hot or as new in the sidebar we can see it but we can't see the forum itself or any of the other posts it contains. It's a bit weird but it works.

       

      Also, fun fact I discovered when looking into this. We can set custom error messages for when someone tries to access a forum they aren't allowed to access. So that's fun haha.

  12. Currently getting paid to browse VHL and watch videos of FIFA career mode. Tired as fuck but can't really complain. 2 hours then I get to go home!

      1 hour. Half hour before I see coworkers

  13. Every. Fucking. Time. I need to learn to reply with 5 words to everything.

  14. If the last half a day is any indication, maybe we should make major changes to the league every few weeks. Activity is flying.

      Hey League of Legends does it every season to keep things different.

      New bi-seasonal scheduled contraction / expansion. Contract one season, expand the next. It’s perfect.

  15. Plus one, minus more than one: net result is a minus. It's simple math.

      Why must you try to confuse me with this strange concept called math?

  18. When you're in the middle of a reply, internet goes weird at work, and by the time everything works again the topic is closed...

  19. T minus an hour and a half before all hell breaks loose

      So the backup system that we use when the main system isn't working, was also not working. We were completely fucked for about 50 minutes. Two people had to be put in as randomly generated account numbers and won't be able to be merged with their real accounts until the morning. Fortunately now the backup system is up, although the main two systems aren't.

      Most of the shit is done! First net still down but it's easy enough to get around that. Medipac is back and that's the important one :)

  20. I just met with Hermaeus Mora. He told me the winners of the VHL and VHLM, on the condition I didn't spread the info. Sorry everyone

  21. House Glasser knows no bird but the bird in the north, whose name is Articuno.

      Team Valor man, COME ON!

       

      (Although Moltres is probably my third favourite of the three birds)

    2. diamond_ace

      diamond_ace

      Zapdos is my favorite of the birds, but the descriptions of the teams (linking team Mystic to intelligence, and I don't care as much about strength which is more Valor's thing) did it for me. Moltres is third by a mile, counting just the birds, he's a rubber chicken that got thrown out of a burning house.

       

      Also, I don't care that Articuno is actually from an island on the south end of the map. GOT reference needs it to be north, so it's north.

  22. Playing as a female =/= fantasizing about being one. Two completely different things, and it surprises me some of the people who aren't yet mature enough to realize that.

  23. First PT in a long time. Read and comment, if you like.

  24. The idea of life without company fell suddenly, it crashed through the ceiling on me and pinned me to the pine.

  25. The LANDRYSHIP is coming for you
