A few other things:

Origin of the name -
Eurydyka is the Polish equivalent of Eurydice, as in "Orpheus and Eurydice" - Eurydice dies and Orpheus tries to bring her back from the dead. Appropriate since the consensus seems to be that I was "dead" (ia) - I have actually been around the site, but I digress.
Skłodowska is a reference to one of the most famous Polish people in history - Maria Salomea Skłodowska, or after marriage, last name change to her husband Pierre, and modern Anglicizing, Marie Curie. 
Dudzińska is in a roundabout way, a reference to my wife. While she has a Polish last name herself, I'm not about to dox her like that, even though those of you who have me on FB already know. Instead, her grandmother's maiden name was Dudzinski. Polish naming customs are such that "ski" names are the males, and the same last name for a woman ends in "ska" instead - personally I think that sort of thing is sexist bullshit, but if the player was born in Poland to a family who has remained in Poland the whole time, storyline-wise she'd have kept the custom. 

Team-wise - 
I won't be joining San Diego, Ottawa, or Vegas. San Diego and Ottawa don't need the help, and Vegas I won't be enough. 
Any other team, I won't be piling on with a bunch of other recreates, I don't want to ruin the user experience for newer guys. I'm happy to play down the lines a bit, behind people who are experiencing this place for the first time, rather than the 7th or 8th time. 
I also won't be saying some ridiculous phrase, I will simply quote your offer and say accept. I don't expect you to modify the copy-paste thing for me though.

Not a mess per say but you’d need to re-apply everything anyway haha.
 
I’ll likely get you sorted once I get to work unless someone else handles it first.

I did warn you it was a manual process and wasn’t likely to be done immediately haha. Strictly speaking it’s also midnight PST that matters but I’m not gonna be an ass about it.
 
I do hope you didn’t apply your TPE, makes changing o you over a lot easier

Well Philly has a couple potential Dmen going IA but yeah glad to see this level of effort and thought into the name, I do a similar thing so glad I'm not crazy haha. Good luck wherever you end up!

no, you're a dick a

D_A good to see you back

Perfect Miami only has one defenseman so you would fit in with a pairing there. If we get any other waiver players I am more than happy to move you down assuming they are defensemen. Also I believe you do this through the waiver system now, but I imagine if you quote someone here you can get an invite to a team that way.

Welcome to the V-Ech-L

Clicker central, but I figure I can lend an experienced voice to someone's LR, so that has to be worth something! 

glad to see you back in some capacity! best of luck with this player!

Also, technically the name is Eurydyka Skłodowska Dudzińska, but the player creator does not consider ł and ń as letters

Got a "please revise and resubmit" request from an agent on my kid's book this morning. The suggested revisions are substantial - basically add 50-100% to length, change the character's age, etc, but it wasn't a rejection, so that's something. Now I just need to remember how to write. The only stuff I've written for the past 8 months is Ryuji pieces. I have a feeling my 11 year old character is going to start exclaiming, "for real!?"

Always Sun-Mon when our “week” rolls over.
 
The only kinda caveat is that it’s a manual process to flip the starting season over and it’s, well, the middle of the night. So if you’re the first Guinea pig you sometimes end up needing to be reset a bit. Chances are I’ll be up like an hour after the flip is supposed to happen though so I can do it.
