As I came into the league, and of course started as a player in the VHLM, I could tell quickly that the VHLM served a specific purpose. As I understood it the spirit of the league was to bring in new players, teach them the ropes, keep them active and happy, and try to keep them engaged. When I was hired as a VHLM GM, that spirit of the league is what I kept in mind as I had players asking me the same questions over and over again. I kept that in mind when I had players message me from different time zones and I tried to make it a point to be as available as possible. It even got to the point where I would step away from real life things to answer questions and help new players. I loved it, absolutely loved it. as someone new to the league I can comment on this? yes I signed with the first team that gave me an offer and although im not saying I regret that decision as I have performed well in the SIm. When their is not a Sim our Locker room is pretty dead. no one really talks to each other all that much I never see my GM online. I have pinged my AGM a few times to no response and when you first sign up their is a lot of information thrown at you. a lot of numbers and text and it was overwhelming. I noticed a lot of people live in the General Chanel of discord and often its moving so fast that if a question comes up it gets buried, or if a question comes up and is posted in the new comers Channel it takes a while to be answered because everyone is in General. I have sort of had to figure out things on my own and im still making mistakes and not 100% confident. so I can agree that the VHLM and their GMS should prioritize Retention over winning. that is just my 2 cents ill go hide now.

As a former VHLM GM hearing this kinda breaks my heart. I'd be glad to help if you need my assistance.

How dare you!? jk, the more folks like you, the better. The best strategy would be to just DM me directly and then let me get back to you within a business day. Or better yet, do things incorrectly and let someone else notice and correct you later!
