1. honestly I'm mad because I had vancouver winning that series easily but I'm proud for seattle and how they achieved so much

2. I've always looked for team first no matter if we are winning or losing its all about team spirit 

3. criticism is way more motivating because of the truth behind of it if you suck at a certain department and someone tells you that harsh truth makes you want to fix that part of you

 

1. wow chiefs vs eagles is going fucking strong 6 for Kansas and 37 for the chiefs do you expect the chiefs to lose or win?

2. if you could change 1 thing about the VHL/VHLM whats the one thing you would choose?

3. what was the best street food you ever ate or wish to eat?

 

Answers 

1. As the game is officially over, I'm glad the Chiefs lost. I'm not the biggest fan of the Eagles, but it's finally nice to see someone take them down.

2. I would probably make it so wildcard for playoffs is not just "2 EU 2 NA", but instead the 4 teams with points who qualify for those spots.

3. I think the best street food I've ever had was Tacos. They were from a food truck and were really good, however, I don't think that specific food truck exists anymore.

Questions

1. Only Four teams remaining in the VHL playoffs, Seattle, Toronto, Riga, and Moscow. Who do you have winning it all?

2. The Four Nations is coming up, who do you have winning it all and why?

3. Would you rather time travel to the past, or to the present and why?

1. I am going to favour Moscow here.  I just think they were our nemesis all year so I am going that way. 
 

2. I have the US winning it but it could go either way honestly.  
 

3. Probably to the past. I’m a history buff so the past has always kinda interested me.

(Good questions, I really liked these)

 

1) I'd love for Rin to help push Seattle to a surprise cup win before her retirement is 100% official. For Yor Bjorven, though, I really want a Shaw win. Pepper's only win was tainted by being split, so I'd love to finally get an undisputed award in that category.

 

2) I'm surprisingly opinionated about wanting to play for Moscow (@Spartan ), even though I don't think they need a goalie. Despite the massive hatred surrounding Russia at the moment (that I share, obviously), the Menace logo is one of the few in the VHL that I REALLY fuck with. Would really love to see it on the front of my player's jersey.

 

3) For sure. Depending on the definition of "fun," I could see Yor Bjorven rolling with a braided beard in Viking fashion. Someone as bug and burly as him could absolutely pull it off.

 

---------

 

1) Of all teams in the VHL, which has your favorite branding (logo, colors, name etc) and why? Is there a cool story behind it, or do you just find it aesthetically pleasing?

 

2) How do you most frequently interface with the league? Are you a forum browser and poster, or do you mainly stay parked in Discord? Why?

 

3) Are there any particular skills you feel you've developed or polished by being a member of the VHL?

Bet, we'll be in touch after our playoffs are over (as long as you're a draft prospect, I'm woefully unaware due to all my travel rn)

1. I'm the Menace GM, but I'll always hold the Aces logo near and dear to my heart after co-designing it with you and @Zetterberg back in the day. We really just threw up a shit ton of ideas and somehow made it work, super fun to have done together!

 

2. I try to have a mix of both. Discord for casual chatter, forum to react to folks' content and sometimes drop replies here and there (or stir the pot a little for some fun banter).

 

3. I'd probably say just becoming more level-headed at times of chaos or conflict. More aware of the situation and generally better at interacting with people very different fro me.

 

Questions I suppose since I'm here

 

1. Did you ever strongly want to play for a specific team or GM in your past, but it just never worked out? How come?

 

2. If your player was given $100 and could spend a day in any city in the world, where would they go and what would they do with the money?

 

3. What one thing do you wish our sim engine could do? Could be something minor that's just quality of life improving, or something major like how the engine works or what the output/presentation of a game is.

1. I can't recall, but that being said, I feel like at least 75% of my career in the VHL has been spent in the European conference.

2. Hugh would take Judy to the national Pie capital of the world and go on a pie date.

3. I know we've tried it a few times and failed, but I wish we were able to work out using the newer version of STHS so that we could have Giveaways and Takeaways. It would really help/promote users creating defensive players as well as give a clearer picture on how much defense actually matters.

 

1. What has been the biggest "what-if" of your current players career?

2. Who do you think is the savviest GM in the VHL right now (don't say your own GM)?

3. Which VHL team has the worst branding at the moment?

[Velevra 312]

1. What has been the biggest "what-if" of your current players career?
Maybe "what if" we had another strong player/one more core piece these past couple seasons could we have made a stronger cup push.
 

2. Who do you think is the savviest GM in the VHL right now (don't say your own GM)?
Not familiar with all the GMs but some names that stand out to me are Frank, Banackock, and Spartan
 

3. Which VHL team has the worst branding at the moment?
I think all the brands are pretty solid, if I had to pick I might say a mismatch between the name Menace and the logo for Moscow could use a slight rebrand.

1. What is one trade you would like to see your team make this off-season? 
 

2. Who is your playoff MVP thus far?

3. Are you planning to watch any of the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off?

1)  Seattle does it again and manages to pull off a huge upset, what went right for Seattle and Wrong for Vancouver?
2) Are you a team-first type of player willing to give it all for your team or a me-first player trying to get as many personal achievements as possible?
3)  Do you find priase or criticism to be more motivating?

1. I haven't been following the VHL playoffs but after looking through everything, I'm proud of them! Wait, maybe this is what Vatt meant when he said I should vote for at least one bottom team winning...

2. Player-first for a different reason than personal achievements, that reason is: I just wanna have fun! When I get settled in after my first player (hopefully!), then I'm fine with team-first!

3. praise go brrt... no, but seriously! I think that praise is a bit more of a mot ivator, but occasionally, you need criticism on your builds! You might be doing something so wrong that everyone hates you!

1. Did you ever strongly want to play for a specific team or GM in your past, but it just never worked out? How come?

- Yeh, with my previous player Matt Avens I wanted to play for Riga Reign as the team is located in my native country, but I never got the chance.

 

2. If your player was given $100 and could spend a day in any city in the world, where would they go and what would they do with the money?

- I would go to Tobago island and just spend the money on food, some souvenirs and whatever entertainment.

 

3. What one thing do you wish our sim engine could do? Could be something minor that's just quality of life improving, or something major like how the engine works or what the output/presentation of a game is.

- Would be a life changer if the sim files could be uploaded to any of the NHL games, like NHL 09 (PC) and it would basically visualise the sim, that would be sick.

1. As a single diabetic, there's not a lot about today that I can enjoy. Even the half off chocolate the day after has been taken from me, pffft. I think it's fine for people who like to mark the occasion but it's kinda overrated in my opinion.

2. Slava has an obscene amount of expensive books. He's a nerd.

3. I've heard things either way and can't say I have much of an opinion on that one.

1) Not a fan of rom-com but wife made me watch palm springs and it wasn't half bad. I guess it was a mix of genres though and not strictly your typical rom-com though

2) Wrong guy to ask haha, mostly listen to EDM (Trance, Techno), not many love songs there 

3) No, Roger Eagles is  just focusing on his game and has no time for a VHL Crush

Answers

1. I feel like most of them are justified. Some of them it should punish the GM more than punish the pick as for some of the team's don't even own their pick.

2. Better than the All-Star Game. I hope they keep it, but they probably won't, especially with the World Cup of Hockey and Olympics.

3. Winter: Snowy, Spring: Rainy, Summer: Hot, Fall: Chill. I have no clue, but that would be my best guesses.

Honestly I don't know if any of them are close enough to making the jump unless you count like Chicago as rebuilding but I don't think they really are; they just missed the playoffs because of a really strong conference. Unless Prague drafts me first, then clearly they are going places.

Not much honestly. I made the adorable yet awful mistake of buying my wife lego flowers instead of real flowers this year which she did love but it also meant that she immediately went out and bought more of them (at $40 a piece...) so we spent our evening making those haha

[Mr Bohannan 136]

Q1: What is the most fun part of the VHL to you?
- I tend to set up goals for my player each season and that is the most fun part to see does he achieves them.

Q2: Is there any player you want your NHL team to trade away or trade for?

- I dont have an NHL team, so not really haha.

Kenworth, Peterbilt and Mack. I'm a trucker so I've been in all three... and I prefer the MACK.

3. Cold showers for a month or cold food for a month?

Cold showers 100%. I used to be an industrial insullator, if I had a warm shower all that fibreglass shit got into my skin and it was... unpleasant.

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?

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?

1) Maybe a little bit, but not super particularly. I think I'll end up wherever I end up, and I'm pretty comfortable with that. I think I'm moreso intrigued to see what happens at the VHL level as opposed to the VHLM level.

2) For the longest time, it was Final Fantasy XIV. There was so much to do when it came to character customization, leveling jobs/classes, etc. Since then, though, I haven't found anything that's as easy to poke into and stick with.

3) Not even close, no. A prime Yor Bjorven competing in the VHL would stand on his head compared to where he is now-- there's a LOT of room for improvement.

1. My next player I have a couple of names floating around, either from the anime Fire Force or from Blue Lock. I'll pick one of the characters in those shows.

2. I prefer to stick with a franchise, but I know not all the time that is the case!
