From what I remember from the VHL Discord, the TPE you earn when you're in the VHL from development is like the SBA, 1 less. With that in mind, then, you earn 13 TPE instead of 14, and that's still a lot of TPE. A season is, what, 10 weeks? Just about 2.5 months? I've done a lot of calculations for the SBA, and they're pretty much the same for the VHL, but I just wanted to share, I guess. Correct me if I'm ever wrong. 1 TPE per 1 Trivia Answer, max of 2 1 TPE per 3 press conference questions answered, max of 2 2 TPE for any VHL.com media 6 TPE for any media 2 TPE Uncapped for development weekly, or 1 in the VHL You get a total of 14/13 TPE per week, which would then be multiplied by 10 (excluding external factors). Say an average career goes to 6 VHL* seasons or so, which I think would be 2 VHLM seasons, that'd be about 20 weeks of 14 TPE and 60 weeks of 13 TPE, for (280+780) 1060 TPE That's, again, without things like VHL Fantasy and predictions that'll earn you an unguaranteed amount per season. It's no wonder some people got so high up on the TPE leaderboard To be fair, some players have also played for longer, like the top TPE** player played 10 VHL seasons compared to the top TPA*** player, who played 7 seasons total in the VHL, using the portal of course * We don't count the VHLM, since it's the development league and I sure as hell hope that no one's counting that towards your career progress ** There's a difference between top TPE and top TPA players. TPE is just how much they earned when they retired. Unless the VHL portal is wrong, Nico Pierce, who retired in S89, was the top TPE earning player with 2206 TPE. *** TPA is what's applied, and the top TPA player is 1st Gen Leonard Triller, who retired in Season 94.

With the boom of hockey in his life, Martinez has always been looking to get into more hockey related sports magazines and the like. With the appearances of many of the people who he's looked up to in the past, he hoped that one day, he'll be as good as them. Of course, for right now, however, he has a fight on his hands with his next game, but he'd definitely think about this later. -- Later, that same night... -- "God, I'm beat." Martinez said as he slammed himself on his bed, taking out his phone. He's always been pretty good at drawing, and minus the part time jobs he'd work, a lot of his income came from commissions. Now that he can't take advantage of people like he used to thanks to him being in a more stable economy, he figured it'd be about time to pick up drawing again. Who knew, maybe he'd be a local animator some day. Maybe not "local," since he didn't have many plans to return home, but he'd at least hopefully be a local legend. He stared at his phone, contemplating. If he opened the app he normally used, he knew he'd be fine. That's the issue though, complacency. He didn't want to get too used to only one medium. He'd done some traditional art in the past, though mostly of stylized flowers and the ocean rather than characters from well known media, and those received a lot of likes from his peers. That's it, he'd get his inspiration flowing using paper and pencil; a perfect plan. He got off his bed and walked to his "study room," which was just the living room that was styled more to a study room than anything. Sure, the room was connected to the kitchen, but it's not like people came over or anything. The TV he had set up was collecting dust, too. With a sheet and a mechanical pencil, he thought of what to draw. He'd take some inspiration digitally, but what type of drawing did he want to make? He was passionate about hockey, and he was also passionate about a select few action manga. Despite sitting there for what felt like hours, he still couldn't come up with a style he wanted to use. Most of his drawing styles were completely different from something like the style used to make JJK. His style was softer, leaning a lot more into heavy emotional scenes rather than fight scenes. Maybe he’d try switching it up. Lighting was his biggest weakness. He could do shadows, but they’d always be messy. They’d have a sense of cohesion- to the untrained eye, at least. Despite this, however, he pressed on. Filling in the general statue of the skeleton, getting a rough idea of the lighting, making the style look just right… And he didn’t do it properly, but he tried. He wasn’t too sure how to style a person who was hitting a hockey puck since there were rarely any clear moments that weren’t just full stadium shots that he could find, but he at least wanted to make something. He took a picture, got up, and immediately walked back to his bed. He was still so tired…

1. If you mean in the VHL, the New York Americans seems kinda on the nose. I guess it's more of a D.C. thing, and that's a stretch even. 2. I like the European rinks better 3. Iced Coffee, 110% Ask 3: 1. What's your favorite team design, throughout VHL history of course? 2. What's the difference between your first player and your current player, if you've got multiple players? 3. Soda or water?

S98 - The Houston Bulls vs the Philadelphia Reapers The Bulls took on the Reapers in what looked to be a close game at first, Philadelphia players Jackson Jeannot and Joseph Poole advancing the Reapers to a successful offensive. With 4 scored goals in 18 shots against Houston's 2 goals in 20 shots, it's safe to say that the Bulls' offense definitely needed some work in this game in order to win more games through an offensive means. It could also be that the Reapers' defense was incredible, and the goalie for the Reapers was doing an outstanding job compared to typical efficiency. The first and last goals scored were Jack Jack on the Bulls and ALTO RED on the Reapers, starting the game off for the Bulls yet giving the Reapers a win.

Is it weird that I want to make an article based on a scenario that sounds straight out of some sort of anime or generally any sort of animated thing? It'd be fun to read about someone's horrible luck and whatnot, have it being about hockey I guess, and then suddenly, it was just a dream. That'd be fun to write, at least, and I don't know how fun it'd be to read, but I hope it'd also be fun to read. Creating silly shit is something that I’m always wanting to do just for the hell of it since it’s usually related to a player and whatnot. Maybe it’s not the best idea for the integrity of articles or something like that, but it’d be fun for audience retention and that shit. Give them something to actually relate to and it’d be fun to write up. Maybe that’s also just my former fanfic writer talking, but imagine your player in some sort of bizarre anime scenario getting his head chopped clean off and used like a volleyball before it's reattached

1. What I have right now, I think ti's around 300 now 2. SBA and SSL, I'm October Moore and Zoe Clarke there 3. No, I haven't. I want to though A3: 1. What's your favorite movie? Is it animated or live action? 2. Who's your favorite actor(ess)? 3. What type of service would you provide if you were asked to make a company with a unique enough service?

Returning to practice is never easy for someone who's always gone through practice. That much is true, and it shows with Martinez and his attitude over the last few weeks, being one of complacency. The Maryland rookie who's camping out in Mexico City after being drafted, since he hasn't been called up, is mostly looking at finding a way to get back into the swing of things, but it doesn't seem like the best option ever. Right now, he's giving Mexico City 10 points over 8 games, which is pretty good; more than one point a game, and 15% of his shots are going in. He finds himself in a not quite unique situation; a mental block. He wants to move to practice, however he's limited by the person who writes the articles for him, and as a result, he's falling farther and farther behind. Whether due to a lack of self-discipline or because of a waning interest, the person who writes these is getting slower and slower, with less and less time on their hands and less and less to talk about. That doesn’t matter for Martinez, however, who’d just come back from vacation and was ready to practice. Donning the Mexico City logo on his jersey, he skated back onto the ice and returned to practice himself, whether his creator would let him or not. It was almost instant. Going from nothing to something is hard, but once you reach that something, it feels like it gets easier and easier to achieve that something that you want to accomplish, and that’s why Martinez is going to work hard. If not for himself, then for his team. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Martinez split off with the rest of the group after practice had ended, putting earbuds into his ear and walking around Mexico City. He’d been wanting to do this for a while, just walk around. Something he missed about most places is that he couldn’t easily walk around to find some stores, but that was alright. A lot of the world was industrialized anyways, why would he care this much? He held his gear in a duffel bag, slung around his shoulder for efficiency. Maybe it wasn’t the most efficient for his shoulders, but it was better than dragging the bag along the ground. He was listening to one of those dumb YouTube playlists from a few years ago that was usually about feeling like a villain or some dumb shit like that. It was just something he could listen to without having to check his phone, so… that was also efficient. He was enroute to a Denny’s to grab a bite. On his way, he could’ve sworn he saw someone peeking out by the corner that he was supposed to turn. It looked like a girl, dirtied and maybe afraid based on posture. As he turned the corner, though, he found no trace of this girl. What the hell happened to her? Was he hallucinating? Maybe this hallucination is what he gets for pushing himself too hard. Oh well, that’s alright. He continued on his journey to the Denny’s.

Aw, well thank you! I appreciate it!

Oh shoot, no one (well, I think 3 people) told me Martinez got drafted?! And 5th too, what? I feel honored, thank you for having faith in me and sorry that I didn't get any TPE in for one entire week lol I appreciate the faith in me that D.C. has, and thank you for the GMs who reached out to me for, well, reaching out and asking! I appreciate your questions and interest! In about 3 days I’ll be back in the US, so I’ll be more consistent with TPE earning, but it’ll be something when I’m able to earn TPE, that’s for sure! I’m not going to stress myself on earning it as I usually don’t, but if it ever feels like I’m starting to stress myself out, check in and tell me that taking a break is fine! I might need to hear it since it’s something I don’t really think about!

Martinez found himself in the middle of a long streak of luck, with the Mexico City Kings having made the playoffs. He wasn't expecting that, but he was pretty happy with the result since he wasn't expecting a playoff appearance at all. As such, he decided a celebration was in order, and celebrated he did—a little too much. As a break in his routine, he got out a planner, making sure he had a week off. He’d still practice, somewhat. It’s mostly practice against friends and people who he knew, but practice was still practice. With this week-break in his schedule, he knew he wanted to visit the Philippines again. His computer was in his lap the next minute, and opening it, he rushed to create a new tab to get himself booked for a flight. He didn’t mind the cost, it was pretty good, all things considered. He picked out the cheapest yet shortest flight he could find, going to Manila since that’s the biggest airport and the one he trusted. It was something like 28 hours at about $1215 for the ticket. He was ready to get out there and find his friend again. His friends were his life, and he would do whatever he could to visit them. That’s something he promised to them when he left for Canada first; he’d be there as soon as he could, as soon as he got time off. Although he forgot about that during his stay in Canada, he wouldn’t be forgetting that with his stay in Mexico City. He found himself kind of scared, kind of happy, a smile on his face as he packed up his bags. He landed on the 14th, firstly because it was the cheapest, secondly because it was a multiple of 7, which meant it was easier to know when he was scheduled to leave. He made sure it was a week, and only a week, and promised himself and the coaching staff in Mexico City that he would practice at least twice during that stay. He was unfortunately incorrect; he wouldn’t practice whatsoever for the week he was in the Philippines despite reporting that he did. He, in fact, did the bare minimum; he played for 2 hours against his friends, which barely counts as practice, but they still played a pretty decent game, similar to the one in America. The boys had fun, and that’s all that mattered to them. Martinez, especially, found himself in a bit of a pinch. He remembered around noon on day 6 of his trip that he promised at least 2 days of practice, around 12 hours. He didn't want to do that now, he wanted to be with his friends, but he also didn’t want to practice hockey for 10 more hours in one day despite loving the sport. He couldn’t think of another way to get out of it besides lying though. He’d probably say he forgot to log a few hours of practice but he felt like he’d definitely be killed if he said he didn’t practice whatsoever. Oh well…

Girlie I'm so sorry but the way the last part reads is like, "people don't want you to burn yourself out and stick around in this community" lol I get what you meant! Thank you!

1. I haven't officially given Martinez a nickname but I have come up with like, two. One was Ace, just because it's simple but kinda memorable. The second was Skyrider since the place where I'm making Martinez from is named the City in the Sky (Antipolo I'm pretty sure!) 2. Samsung vs Apple, I think! 3. Cold showers for a month, but the month is July in pretty hot weather! Ask 3: 1. If you haven't been drafted, are you anxious to see where you end up? If you have been, are you anxious to see where your friends end up? 2. What game keeps you motivated to play it for as long as possible? 3. With how far you are into your career, do you think current you can face off with your ideal prime you in the VHL?

Hi! Something about the draft just hit me harder than a truck and it's one of the few things on my mind right now, I'm kinda scared for the draft. With how high I've been rated on a few draft boards, I don't want to disappoint people but I feel like if I do go high, I'll have a ton of expectations placed on me for some reason. It's a mental thing more than a league problem! It mostly started recently with me taking a look at my recent earnings and not seeing perfect scores. It made me kinda sad that I was going to disappoint someone, but I think... aside from last week? I've been pretty good at earning a solid 10 TPE each day! Hopefully that helps calm me down lol

Writing scripts and writing novels, two big things that someone can do that requires a lot of effort. Of course, putting in 100% of your effort into that one thing will eventually discourage someone else from writing for other sources. Writer's block has been hitting Agustin hard, and he didn't know what he wanted to write for his next podcast whatsoever. What could he do, after all? He was just someone who knew very little about what to talk about. He was a follower, in someone's eyes. He sighed, looking up at the ceiling. How did he want to go about this? He wondered to himself, closing his eyes and leaning back. Hm... maybe he'd be able to audibly "visualize" his words, so to speak. That's helped him with many of his essays, and he knew that it'd help him out now. He restored his own faith in his writing skills with a little pep talk, the faith in himself flowing again. He felt it. Now, what did he want to talk about? "There are a lot of things I can talk about... I guess I can talk about the most relevant thing to me, the draft." He muttered. The draft was fast approaching, and he needed something to make of it. Something that could help him out, big time. Oh, he knew just what to do. He began typing. "'The draft is an important time to us all.' Wait, no... the draft is important... but it's not important to everyone. How about... 'the draft is important to those who'... who what? Who want to be in the VHL, I guess. 'The draft is an important time for those who wish to be drafted into the VHL. It's something that's a guarantee. Whether it's a teammate of mine, former or not, or for me in general, I think all of us are excited for the draft.' Now, do I talk about actually looking at the mock drafts made by more professional people, or do I make my own based off of those mocks? I guess I can just admit to it, can't I? Yeah, I can. 'Finding yourself on a mock draft is pretty exhilarating, and this goes tenfold when you're in the top of the draft as opposed to those lower on the list. Of course, as someone who browses his position a lot, I can confidently say that I'm very much happy with how people view me, even if they might be wrong about some aspects about me. You can look at CIA's S98 Mock Draft or Thunder's S98 Draft in terms of the floor these players have. One thing you may notice? I'm in the top five in both. Of course, Thunder wrote something brief on me, as I expected, since I'm not the most well known person in the industry. CIA, however, wrote something fun about me; I was similar to Lucy Leitner, someone way above my skill level, going into her 5th season. She's been a consistent player, and I'm surprised to be compared to someone. Hopefully the comparison doesn't mean if I fail, I get boos and everyone hates me.' Wait, that sounds kind of like I'm asking for pity, doesn't it? Now about, instead, 'Hopefully, the comparison doesn't bring in people who look up at me highly. That'd be a real shame for me, since I'm not quite the same player as Leitner.' There, that sounds a lot better. Now that we've talked about the main stuff, what about some filler? Something about… oh, I know. ‘It’s an honor to be ranked highly, and to any curious teams out there, I’d be more than happy to play for you. Just, make sure you let me know that you exist beforehand, I’m not trying to get myself out there by being confused.’ Alright, now let’s just compile it into something that looks professional and readable… And so, he did. He took the Word document that he was working on and he highlighted over the underlines he’d added. They were just “delete this, this makes no sense,” or something along those lines. It was an indicator that he was making something that he probably should at least mildly consider changing the wording of to make him not look like an idiot. He might as well be an idiot for trusting the words of those on the internet, but he didn’t care. He wanted to get something out there after silence. And so, he wrote… “'The draft is an important time for those who wish to be drafted into the VHL. It's something that's a guarantee. Me, former teammates on the Wild to my current teammates here in Mexico City, and the rest of the eligible VHL draftees. We’re all excited to prove to the world that we belong, and we do indeed belong. Finding yourself on various mock drafts is exhilarating, and this goes tenfold for any top ten position on the draft. As someone who browses his position in mock drafts a lot, since I’m very curious where I end up, I’m very happy about how people view me as a talent. Even if they’re wrong about some aspects of me, it’s fun to see write ups of you as a person from outside perspectives instead of your own. You can look at CIA's S98 Mock Draft, a place where you can see actual draft positions, or Thunder's S98 Draft in terms of the floor these players have. Of course, I'm in the top five in both lists. Thunder wrote a brief summary on me, expected since I’m not the best known prospect outside of pure skill, but CIA wrote up something interesting that I had to talk about; that I’m like Lucy Leitner, someone who’s way above my skill level and is going into her 5th season. I’m honored to be compared to someone that highly rated, but I hope it doesn’t bring too high of expectations. That'd be a real shame for me, since I'm not quite the same player as Leitner. Of course, to finish this off, it’s an honor to be ranked highly, and to any curious teams out there, I’d be more than happy to play for you. Just, make sure you let me know that you exist beforehand, I’m not trying to get myself out there by being confused.” He clicked Control and P to print out the script, then got ready with his microphone. He cleared his throat…
