So Thought and Rambles Time?

[JigglyGumballs 1,056]

For the sake of 2 TPE, I shall express my thoughts and maybe go on a couple of tangents/rambles.

 

So I'll be honest, I don't think I did too well in this draft. Of course I am confident that I landed on a few picks, but otherwise I am not confident in the picks I made especially in the late rounds. I think I'm just being hard on myself but making a meme pick 69th overall is the only thing that I have going for me. If I were anyone else looking at my draft, I'd question the GMs picks, and more so the trades I made. Though I guess I'll trust the process and see through with the choices I made.

 

Last season was honestly crazy. Well the sims themselves (apart from an all expansion team finals) was meh, but the amount of changes in both management and how the league is run is just wack. I personally don't mind all the AGM changes as there's guaranteed to be multiple in a season. The lifespan of an AGM is pretty short, especially for the VHLM, but holy shit the amount of GM changes in both the VHL and VHLM. It's like everything just clicked and somehow the old was now being ousted for the new. I'm not sure how I feel about it, sure I ended up getting hired as a GM in the process but like, it's weird. Beaviss leaving as both commish and Vancouver's GM is also quite a shock. I didn't officially say this, but Beav has contributed so much to the league and it's honestly a bit sad to see him step down. Though I do understand why.

 

Something that ticks me off a lot are those who despite all the pings and DMs, they still ignore you. This is more of a management sort of problem but, I'm sure others can relate one way or another. When you've freshly drafted a player or acquired a first-gen through waivers, I try to PM them on the forums to try to get them onto the LR and or talk to me. Sometimes they'd just not respond or not even read the message. Of course I wouldn't be too shocked about that most of the time. Especially when the person you drafted is barely active. I'd likely try one or two more times to start a conversation, but if they refuse to reply, it really hits the fan for me. It gets frustrating because you don't know if they actually care, or if they just don't know what to do or something. It hurts even more if they leave you on read because you know that they've seen your message and yet they've chosen to not even reply. I'll admit that I've been guilty of leaving people on read before, so I'm not entitled to a response, but my job as a VHLM GM  is to help new players. So how can I help them when they refuse to reply? In the end it's likely going to end in me dropping players when they're within the realm of inactivity in terms of rules. So that honestly sucks.
