@Ledge going to save you the time looking https://vhlportal.com/players/playerfocus/3023 T before S

You misspelled a name on your own list. (No, this is not a signup)

Please don't. We had to do something but I'm backing AJ to be back in a role by like 2 seasons from now. I was hoping everyone but rory would at least understand that it's more a delay than an outright block, so to speak.

He updated for some of his family members on their accounts. Not even multis, definitely not plagiarism. It's bad, but less bad than some, which is why we tried to make the blow as soft as possible while still doing something.

or the opposite, knee jerk disagreeing with every opinion you come across solely to be that guy

As you are all aware, @ajwllmsn was caught updating for other members, and for the league side of things, he has received his punishment already. What remained to be seen was how this would be handled from the perspective of the VHLM, as he was the GM of the Las Vegas Aces. He had been suspended from the role until the final ruling was in place. @McWolf and I were largely torn on this - on one hand, this was absolutely a large enough infraction to be considered fire worthy, but outside of this particular incident, AJ was a bright spot among the new members of the league. Basically he did many things right, but one thing very wrong, and so it fell to us to implement a punishment befitting the crime. After talking with all the directly affected parties per our final decision: AJ is fired from the role of GM of Vegas. However, he is certainly among the pool of applicants for future openings, and should he learn from this, it'll likely just be a bump in the road for him in the long term. We've seen firsthand how little a punishment can affect a good member in the long run *cough @Beketov cough* and so we suspect this will not hinder him going forward. In fact, he's landed somewhat on his feet already... As it's close to playoffs, which is always an awkward time for a new GM to start in a role, and the current AGM of Vegas is a veteran member who is familiar with Vegas' setup at the moment and the inner workings of the VHLM: @MubbleFubbles will be taking over the role. (Don't worry those of you who might be looking for a job with apps, there will be one coming up soon, unrelated to this post). This leaves the AGM position open, which will go to AJ. Reminder that AGM is not a job, does not inherently come with job pay, and is in no way a guarantee to future promotions or the like, but this does put AJ among promising candidates heading forward. Obviously when a whole body of work is taken into account for future hires, this incident will be a negative for him and he's not likely to be the absolute first candidate on the page for the immediate next job, but he is definitely still on the list. Who knows, it may even be a future iteration of Vegas in particular, given the M's historical turnover rate. *No, we do not expect everyone will be pleased with this ruling, but there was a wide range of opinions and that would be impossible. Instead we focused primarily on what McWolf and I in particular thought, obviously with some input from blues/mods/etc as pertained to the larger league ruling, and we were both somewhat in the middle. This seemed fair - he loses the job, a player of his earn rate loses the immediate job TPE going forward and will have to do a little more each week until earning his way back into a spot, but he's not blackballed or anything of that nature. If he's learned, it's ultimately not much in the long run, but it's hefty enough in the short run.

YESSSS

@JardyB10 this guy solved the assassination of david knight

Watching myself float around the middle... but at least I'm consistently on the board, which is better than some

It's not for everyone, but incredibly popular in my family (I'm the one that makes it, learned it from my grandfather): a blue cheese dip for pretzels/chips. It works especially well with those "buffalo wing" flavored pretzel pieces. - 2 of those rectangular packs of cream cheese (Neufchatel is fine if you're going for the less fat option - I usually use Neufchatel and haven't noticed a difference in either consistency or taste) - 1 chunk of Danish blue is ideal (about 1/3 lb) as Danish blue is the best tasting option - if you don't have a place that sells this (in cities, it will likely be in the cheese dept of your major grocery stores, but if you're more rural you might be in a food desert of sorts and not have this available) then domestic is fine (usually a Wisconsin cheese if in USA) or even the crumbles. 2 packs of crumbles if you go that route as the crumbles tend to take from the less flavor parts of the cheese. Please for your own sake do not use Amish blue, it's disgusting. Variants of similar cheeses (roquefort, stilton, gorgonzola) have their purposes but aren't really for this. - Milk as needed for consistency Cut the cream cheese into chunks (8 to 12 per pack) and throw them in the blender. Add just enough milk to get to about the blades of the blender, and blend this down. Gradually add the blue (if you've bought a chunk, you'll need to break it up by hand). If at any point it's too thick and isn't blending properly, add more milk. If it's too thin, unfortunately you can't remove milk, but you can generally let it sit overnight in the fridge and it will solidify enough. Once it's all blended (no chunks, all smooth, but the end result should be pretty thick) it's done.

Saw the name, thought this was stlzach returning. I think I speak for pretty much everyone that you recreating is the better timeline by some distance.

@JardyB10 how many of these do you think Hickey actually played for real back in the day and not as a meme

we only want to torture him a little bit, not so much he never comes back

Panzermadels. Has to be Panzermadels EDIT: It's a "tank dating sim" so arguably even worse than Dream Daddy or Monster Prom. @JardyB10

$20 for the Dom tournament thing $48 for my cooking stream (was 58, but Jardy put in for 10 later than that - Josh if you have anything else you want that 50 to count for, go ahead, especially if one of the other cumulatives came within 50 of meeting. I'm never just stopping at $20 on a charity donation thing. If not, we'll just say we finished well past it.)

I wasn't so much worried about the quantity of money (I'm fortunately in a position where this is a fairly negligible amount) I was just hoping to push it to next check, because I assumed a lot of people would be slower than they have been and it wouldn't really go amiss. As this has clearly not been the case, I'll go ahead and knock this and the Dom tournament thing out tonight

*whatever this has left to get to the 75 at the end of the day. right now that's 58, but im prob not going to follow the thread the rest of the day. just consider this post a donation of the remainder

ill prob do two of them - steak tips/mushrooms in cooking wine/balsamic with small potatoes, and a chicken teriyaki stir fry. thats the plan as of right now and no bc im streaming making the meals for a whole work week, and im not trying to be stuck eating something weird 5 times. ultimately ill finish it off myself if it hasnt been finished, its already enough that i can afford it worse comes to worse

Rhino conservation charity, because of course I would. Will also cover someone else - will put them in here once i know who

people apparently dont want to see me cook

im still debating on outbidding dom and making them do rimworld character attributes, but will prob just save it to finish off my own cumulative one
