Giving it another go

[scoop 3,447]

It seems like it's been a really long time since I've been active in the VHL. I think it feels longer than it actually has, but my last decent player was Samuel Gate, who retired after winning his only three awards in S66. I had gone inactive with him, however, and I actually retired him in his sixth season at 610 TPE to create Justin Rushmore, who went nowhere. I made another attempt at a comeback a few seasons later with Izzy Valencia, who also never saw the VHL. The two of them combined for less TPE than any other player I've had in the VHL. I have no idea right now if Taylor Mourning will be a different story.

 

I had been pretty active in the PBE for about a year. It was not long after I created Izzy Valencia that I got into the PBE, and I put my time into that league instead of the VHL. I'm much more of a baseball fan than hockey, but my history with the VHL just keeps drawing me back here. So here I am to give it another shot.

 

Quick note on my player name. Truthfully, I wish I hadn't wasted the name Justin Rushmore on a scrub, but I don't want to re-use a name even if he never made it to the VHL. Inspiration for the name Taylor Mourning comes directly from Taylor Swift and Alkaline Trio (specifically their album Good Mourning). It's far from my most inspired name, but it's largely a callback to the latter half of 2016 when I listened to a lot of Taylor Swift and Alkaline Trio. As a bonus, though not that it had much to do with that decision, that time was around when Diana Maxwell (my best player) was beginning her career.
