Yo Berocka. I know we don't interact a ton but I wanna say I have always appreciated your presence in the league. I can't attest to what you may deal with re: the racist meme, but I wholeheartedly understand when you're part of a meme like that and it starts to make you feel like it's how people legitimately perceive you. I will say I definitely do not see you that way.

The league is a better place with you in it. ❤

Too much of the league is on discord instead of forum. I was looking back at league history on the forum and that would be impossible to do on discord as you have to be there in the moment

I dunno man, most threads that make it to page 2 get pretty spicy nowadays

Most graders weren’t really that harsh and it was how sims leagues operated at the time, it’s not like we were different in some way, so you just kinda accepted it. It wasn’t really fun to lose points but anything under 5 was almost never seen and even 5’s were relatively rare. Did it drive a few people away? We’ll never know for sure but I’d wager not many.

it took me about 2 years of making graphics every week to get my first set of 5.5s to round up to 6. but I wouldn't have it any other way, it really motivated me to keep at it and improve, and I was hyped as hell when I got it for the first time.

They play in New Jersey and don't try to pretend they're from New York

hylands’ voice so nice that we gotta hear it twice?!?!?!!

I'm working on getting my mic set up right that it doesn't pick up everyone else's audio from my headphones, only so much can be gated out easily.

But also yes.

After heavy reconsideration, I have decided to RE-OPEN this thread.

Okay everybody, things are getting out of hand here. Thought I could trust you animals but apparently not.

I am now locking this thread.

Old something club. Fill in the blank because it would autocorrect me. I've never liked it because I enjoy miming about it.

How in the fuck have you not told me you've taken up miming yet?!

@.sniffuM

Very much in line with what I've made lately. Next sig I'm gonna force myself to change things up, starting with no more offset stroke text.

9 sigs enter. One will be crowned champion. Also you will pick silver and bronze. Godspeed.

Is this a direct jab at me? I swear, my English level has decreased since I joined the league, I don't know what's wrong with me.

There have been people who really improved in their english by writing VHL media spots (I may be remembering wrong but I believe @der meister is one), and that's awesome. But I've seen in my family how much longer it can take to put things together as a non-native speaker, and I assume there are definitely some people who may feel embarassed or whatever it is about what they write. While I'm sure they would be met with help and encouragement, I ultimately feel things are better when people are allowed to put as much of themselves as they find comfortable into the league, and rigid outlines limit that.

Aren't many GMs already creating weekly point task posts to get their full weekly TPE earnings? The team-specific posts would be claimable as a media spot not an additional requirement on top of a point task. 

What if you're part of a podcast series? What if your primary way of earning your point task TPE is through graphics? What if you're not a native english speaker and don't want to take the time to formulate something like that every week (among many other reasons people in that scenario may not want to write an article)?

I know for myself, having to lock into one specific idea week in and week out is an incredibly easy way to burn out. In the past I tried to do a VHL Hell's Kitchen article series, a VHL-based fantasy action article series, a quick forum-based VHL MMA league, few other things I'm forgetting, and they all died at their various points because I thought about really wanting to keep up on these and decided they were too limiting.

I know my experience doesn't speak for everyone, but I'd assume the majority of people don't want to feel like they have to produce highly specific content. I see the merit in your idea but echoing what most have said here, if this were a requirement it'd likely increase the churn of GMs. YMMV

I can only get behind this proposal if pay is slashed to 1 and the weekly article can only be claimed as a VHL.com
