1. When you create your next player what position do you think you will make and why?

 

If I make another player it would probably be a defenseman so I could try something different, focus on different attributes, etc. 

2. If you could do any job in the world what would it be and why?

 

I would be a deep tissue massage therapist for the Brazilian womens olympic track and field team.

3. Think MDM (my player) will somehow break the .5 ppg mark this season?

 

Your players name alone says you can do anything you want and nobody can stop you, you will defy the odds like your namesake and finishing above .5ppg this season. 

 

1. How is your player doing this season, what are your current stats? 

2. Name another player on your team who has impressed you this season and why? 

3. What's your favorite pizza topping? Choose up to 3. 

 

 

 

 

[fishy 1,755]

1. How is your player doing this season, what are your current stats?

I'm probably the second worst goalie in the VHLE right now... I'm number two in the leaderboards for losses, OT losses, goals against, and shots against. I argue that the latter stat is more of a team stat than a me stat, but still.

2. Name another player on your team who has impressed you this season and why?

Truthfully, I haven't followed the VHLE, like, at all... and DC is certified Unimpressive on all fronts.

3. What's your favorite pizza topping? Choose up to 3. 

Mushrooms. I like the texture

 

1. Tell me your preferred writing utensil without telling me your preferred writing utensil.

2. Imagine you have the opportunity to instantly acquire and be a master at a new skill. What do you choose and why?

3. What is a cool thing about you that you don't get to tell people because they'd think you were bragging?

[Thunfish 72]

1. Tell me your preferred writing utensil without telling me your preferred writing utensil.]

I don't have any. Writing is an act I appreciate but picking a specific object is needless.

2. Imagine you have the opportunity to instantly acquire and be a master at a new skill. What do you choose and why?

Being able to master any martial art technique by merely watching it.

3. What is a cool thing about you that you don't get to tell people because they'd think you were bragging?

I suppose my best thing would be that I went through the whole fighting game library of the PlayStation 1 when I dropped out of Rio State University.

 

1. If you could recommend me a game, which one would you recommend?

2. If you could recommend me a book, which one would you recommend?

Questions:

1. Where can you get the best donuts?

2. let's pretend there is an expansion in the league, 1 team in NA and 1 team in EU. Where do you choose to put those teams?

3. What is that one game that everyone seems to play but you hate it?

 

[KC15 340]

1. Where can you get the best donuts?

Krispy Kreme, hands down.

2. let's pretend there is an expansion in the league, 1 team in NA and 1 team in EU. Where do you choose to put those teams?

Kansas City - we can't keep a hockey team any other way than in a sim league. lol
Lisbon - The Iberian peninsula needs a team.

3. What is that one game that everyone seems to play but you hate it?

Back in the day, Everquest.  Now, maybe Call of Duty.  I don't hate COD, it's just so realistic it kind of freaks me out that I'm killing "real live" people.

1.  If you could be any animal other than human, why would it be a dog?
2. Best place for Pizza in New Haven, CT.  If you are disadvantaged enough not to know the NH pizza scene, who has the best pizza in your opinion.
3. Do you spend any time with family history/genealogy?

[CowboyinAmerica 2,709]

1.  If you could be any animal other than human, why would it be a dog?

They're not only loyal and constantly happy, but they don't really have many responsibilities and get cared for constantly if you're in the right home. Seems like a good life by me.

2. Best place for Pizza in New Haven, CT.  If you are disadvantaged enough not to know the NH pizza scene, who has the best pizza in your opinion.

As someone who has been to New Haven and tried pizza there, my answer is definitely... Detroit style. I like a little more heft to my pizza, and while I could pick Chicago (and do love it, having lived 8 years there), I think Detroit style is the best combo of flavor and not being a casserole.

3. Do you spend any time with family history/genealogy?

Purposefully no, actually. As someone from a single parent home who hasn't really known anyone from my dad's side, DNA testing could get... sticky, quickly. I'm not particularly interested in that. And while there's been some work done on my mom's side, it's just never really grabbed me.

1. What's your favorite attribute in the sim and why?

2. Which is the most useless attribute in the sim and why?

3. What's your in-between period snack during games? 

1. I enjoy Leadership, its more of a flex than anything else out there and does little but its super fun.

2. That would be fighting in my mind. If there were injuries and fighting mitigated injuries because you have an enforcer with your top player it would make sense but as is right now it doesn't make sense.

3. I enjoy a sweet/sour soft candy. depends on the day but quick energy rush from the sugar and sour to make me concentrate on my surroundings.

A lot of historical events could be changed to avoid pain and suffering but I'd probably choose to go back and change the holocaust from ever happening.

Only having been here a short time, I would go back and change the result of last seasons VHLM playoff finals against Ottawa, making Vegas win the cup! 

3. Has your player been playing up to your expectations this season?

 

Yes especially early on in the season when I was leading the team in scoring and the top few goal scorers in the entire league, but I have gotten a bit cold lately and only scored a couple goals in the last 10 games and drupped under a ppg.

Lemieux but without the illness.

70 assists. It means someone else had to go and score those goals.

3. What's your go-to toppings on a burger? If you don't eat burgers, then what's your favorite food? 

I think my fave dish would be a salad with chicken. Preferably paired with some yerba mate tea.

1.)  What one attribute is the most imp[important for an athlete playing a team sport ?
a. Passion and Effort are the most important things. You can be a medicore hockey player but if you are trying your hardest you can still be very effective.

2.)  Why are oranges round (mostly)?
a. I actually know this answer. It has to do with the fruits cells they don't connect easily unless its in a round shape. 

3.)  What brand of equipment do you favor?
a. I'm a big fan of warrior sticks. When I was going hard on ball hockey before COVID I found some nice new warrior sticks and I emptied the rack because I like them so much.

Definitely football.  Growing up the the South meant going to games every week and spending entire weekends glued to the college football lineup. 
2. What is your players pump up song and or genre before their games?
Genre has to be some good, old-fashioned emo pop from the mid 2000s.  No matter when I turn it on, it always hits.
3. What is the best flavor of icecream? and why is cookies and cream or caramel pecan?

I see we both have fantastic taste in ice cream.  Cookies and cream is the clear best flavor and it isn't particularly close.

1. What's one rule change you'd make to hockey?

 

I would get rid of the trapezoid behind the net and let the goalies go play the puck in the corner again because it'd make for some great hits and fights and I miss that about hockey. Not enough brawls anymore. 

 

2. Best toppings and type of pizza?

 

Onions with sausage and or meatball. NY style. 

 

3. What's your least favorite holiday and why?

 

Labor Day because I usually get sunburned while drunk at a bbq.

I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan for much of the process of creating it, but I'm optimistic about what it can bring. It's good to see that we won't have to be so divided over the meta issue anymore.

 

...though I feel like we'll see people trying to figure out the most meta way possible to build under the new system. Hopefully it works well enough that we don't have to deal with a whole new group wrecking things.

I'm actually not playing anything at the moment. I was into Victoria II over winter break, but then Mac had an update and the game was no longer supported on my new software. I guess I don't need that anyway because it's been a busy semester.

Probably Star Wars before Disney trampled all over it. No idea what I'd say now honestly.

 

 

1. With the end of the season coming up, how do you feel about the way your player has performed.

2. If I had to guess, I'd say that the changes to the meta and the attribute system are going to lower scoring significantly. How do you feel about the current level of scoring? Is it too much?

3. What's your favorite thing you own that doesn't cost a lot of money?

[Thunfish 72]

1. With the end of the season coming up, how do you feel about the way your player has performed.

Eh, kinda miffed that I couldn't land anywhere in the top ten scorers but that's life.

2. If I had to guess, I'd say that the changes to the meta and the attribute system are going to lower scoring significantly. How do you feel about the current level of scoring? Is it too much?

I wouldn't be able to answer that, to tell you the truth. The place I'm more used to just threw STHS off a cliff and went with FHM instead.

3. What's your favorite thing you own that doesn't cost a lot of money?

Chilling on a hammock during a nice, clean skies day.

 

1. What's your favourite hockey-related media? Like a movie, a book, a web comic, a manga, whatever.

[Garsh 1,083]

1. What's your favourite hockey-related media? Like a movie, a book, a web comic, a manga, whatever.

I guess The Mighty Ducks, I haven't really seen much hockey related media to be honest.

 

2. What's your opinion on fighting in hockey?

It's fine, not really why I watch, but no issues with it for the most part.

 

3. If we didn't have penalties for it, would you put everything on fighting?

Nah, not enough real benefit to do that in my opinion.

 

1.) We are approaching the end of the regular season.  How is your team looking?

2.) Thoughts on the new attributes announced to combat the meta?

3.) What other sports have you been watching lately?

[KC15 340]

1.) We are approaching the end of the regular season.  How is your team looking?

We have clinched a playoff berth, so, fantastic!!

2.) Thoughts on the new attributes announced to combat the meta?

Sounds promising in combatting the meta-clone, but also super complicated at first.  I'm seeking GM help.  lol

3.) What other sports have you been watching lately?

Might have been baseball.... but nothing.

1.  One side more at fault in the MLB debacle?

2.  Golf has been called "a good walk spoiled".  Agree or not?
3.  If you are a reader, what is your favorite genre to enjoy - history, biography, standard fiction, sci-fi....?

1. The Stars are looking really good. Second place in the league behind the Wolves and have a huge gap from third place. 

2. I skimmed through them, I think it's a great idea. Will most likely annoy my GM to tell me what to upgrade and be too lazy to learn what I should do.

3. I've been working lots but usually at my bar they have NBA games on so I watch a couple here and there.

1. I will probably make a 2-way center. I want him to be one of the best penalty killer in the league and I think this might be a less popular build that might have a really high value.

 

2. Win the cup! What else?

 

3. any team that is in rebuild or is planning a rebuild. I'm not interested to win on a 4th line, I want to be in the core of a team and be able to say that I had an impact on the team.
