Jala 922 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Welcome to VHLM This Week. TPE Earners First up, let's review the less known ways or ways that are currently modified due to events this coming week to earn TPE. These two we're going to group under one as right now they're modified by the recruitment drive. a) First off, if you post in any other forums, any at all, you should post this .gif in your signature there. If you do that, until the end of this recruitment drive you will get +2 TPE (normally +1). You can do this with as many forums as you want, but only one forum a week will count. b.) The player store is not normally an option for VHLM players as we don't draw a salary. Right now because of the recruitment drive, if you created in the month of August, you get a free $3 million to spend in the player store. There are 2 ways I would spend the money given to you. You can either buy a free week, or you could buy the +1 to Welfare and 2 extra weekly Fan590s. A free week means you get a week off from doing the PT but you still receive +6 TPE, you simply just claim the purchase in your updates thread with a link to the player store. The other option where you bundle welfare and the Fan590s is one I would recommend if you don't feel you'll be able to devote a lot of time to the league but still want to gain TPE. +3 Welfare for a new player and +2 extra TPE from the Fan590s can be beneficial if you don't have the time to do PTs every week. *Purchases made from the player store can only be used once. You cannot buy a free week and then use it more then once.* Check out the Fantasy Zone. There are two zones, the VHLM version and the VHL version. *Anyone can join the VHL fantasy zone, only VHLMers can join the VHLM zone. So go on and jump into both to try and double your gains!* Most weeks both zones will only have 2 options for you. a) Pick 'em. You are given 4 games and you choose the winners of those 4 games. If you choose correctly and all 4 teams you chose are winners, you are awarded +1 TPE. b.) Predict the score. You are given 1 game and you must choose the winner and the final score. If you are right, you get awarded +3 TPE. Sometimes the fantasy zones will have leagues or tournaments on. This week there's a new football fantasy league that's been put together. The league will award TPE to where you finish in terms of the league so even if you don't think you'd do well, join and make some new friends or rivals and learn about something you may not have known much about before. As we head onto announcements, I just realized there is another way to get your TPE! Announcements The VHL has their Instagram account up and running. Just for following with your account, you get +1 TPE. Simply follow them and then post in the thread. There's also a two PT opportunities you can take a look at in the thread. Good to see social media expanding for the league. The August recruitment drive is in it's last week, but if you haven't see the details on it take a look. It's a great way to pad your TPE and help the VHL grow, as any recruiting bonuses double. If you recruit someone and they hit 100 TPE on their character, you get 5 just for having brought them to the league. If you recruit someone now, that 5 TPE bonus turns to 10! They also have a bunch of really cool prizes, again, just for having recruited someone to the league. Check the page out to see what cool prizes you could win. Smarch recently posted up the S39 VHLM Achievement Tracker. This is now open for claims, and make sure you go and do it before the VHL playoffs end as it's essentially free TPE for you. The cap for the TPE gained from this is +20 TPE. We have a new manager for the VHL and VHLM fantasy zones. I'd like you all to welcome HawksFan19 to his new office and we all hope he has a fun time doing it and does it well. Lastly, the VHL and VHLM deadlines just went by yesterday, so now we're on the back stretch of the season and moving forwards to the playoffs. If you were worried about getting traded, you don't have to worry anymore, and if you were traded, we hope you enjoy your time with your new team! Ok, enough of the boring TPE gaining and announcements! Trades With the trade deadline having just passed there were a few trades that happened in the VHLM. To Saskatoon : C Kez Kincaid To Turku : Saskatoon S41 3rd Bern S41 3rd To Yukon : Oslo S41 2nd To Oslo : Vincenzo Fettichini Alfredo Valenti You can check out the rest of the trades and other league transaction in the Transactions forum. Media Here are some media spots and Fan590s I was looking at I thought you guys might find to be funny or a good read. A continuing pick-your-adventure submitted by RomanesEuntDomas, we have Chapter I, Part III. Here we have Bobby Ricky discussing some of his troubles adjusting to VHLM life and his current point drought. In that train of thought we have Oskars Harumpfs and his struggles with the large competition he faces in the VHLM. With the trade deadline having just passed, we look at the Danny Schneider trade that ended up sending him to the Moscow Red Wolves. Last up we look at Vladimir Komarov and his rankings on the teams he would like to be drafted by in the upcoming VHL entry draft. While we're still a way away, it's good to get thinking about that and start getting in touch with the GMs to see how they feel. Graphics We'll take a quick look at some signatures. These are all made by users and we think these are really well done and recommend you check them out and other submitted sigs on ideas on how to make your own better. First up we have this one from gorlab that has been creating some controversy. We like the logo swap and the effects he used but the text is an issue for the grader. Check it out and let us know what you think. This one by Molholt is a cool one because of it's retro-chic appeal. The classic image and flat colours and edges give it that vintage look. Lots of other that are worth checking out in the graphics section. Games Let's check out how the league is shaping up at the end of this week. North American Conference: Blades - GP:50 W:42 L:7 OTL:1 P:85 GF:294 GA:163 Wild - GP:49 W:39 L:7 OTL:3 P:81 GF:263 GA:155 Lynx - GP:48 W:39 L:7 OTL:2 P:80 GF:191 GA:126 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rush - GP:53 W:30 L:15 OTL:8 P:68 GF:295 GA:265 Gladiators - GP:50 W:17 L:29 OTL:4 P:38 GF:171 GA:214 European Conference: Red Wolves - GP:50 W:22 L:20 OTL:8 P:52 GF:172 GA:182 Royals - GP:50 W:21 L:26 OTL:3 P:45 GF:217 GA:236 Storm - GP:50 W:19 L:24 OTL:7 P:45 GF:190 GA:245 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outlaws - GP:49 W:15 L:32 OTL:2 P:32 GF:169 GA:242 Watchmen - GP:53 W:7 L:44 OTL:2 P:16 GF:131 GA:265 We'll take a quick look at some of the big scores and conference leader match-ups. We have this shooting gallery where the Rush outscored the Red Wolves 8-7. Another one featuring the Rush, they smashed the Outlaws 9-4. You can check out all the scores and standings in the S39 Index. VHLM Player Spotlight First up we have an interview with Jarome Iginla, a player who recently became active again. What made you come back to VHLM after being inactive? Some dude named Sachimo Zoidberg came into the league and I remembered us talking during a training camp back in Cologne with Rick Ross. I felt that if he could make it here, I could easily, so I came back. If you want the agent story, I was bored one day and thought of coming back and then I found out it was easy to earn TPE so I stayed. Do you think you'll stick around after being inactive? Yeah, I've earned almost 77 TPE in like two weeks. I'm gonna be the best player in this league. If you are going to stay active, what around the league makes you want to do that? Well, I guess having an active LR. Saskatoon is pretty active and it's nice. As well, having my stuff graded frequently would be nicer. You just got Kez in a trade, how do you think that'll help your team? He's gonna rip it up for us, but he may take away from my playing time so idk how I feel about it. <3 Kez That'll wrap up this week's edition of VHLM This Week. Join us next week for more updates around the league. If you have any comments or requests, or if you want to be interviewed for next week's episode, drop a message here of PM me and we'll fit you in. Thanks, and keep your stick on the ice. We also talked with Riggsy, one of the members on the VHLM magazine. How long have you been in the VHLM? Forever, I've created 4 players with absolutely no VHL games in hand. But this time around, somethings different. How do you like your team and teammates? I love my team, wouldn't switch to any other team, no matter how many time I may joke around. My teammates are fun, but I wish the locker room was a little more active than it is right now. What's been the best thing(s) (most fun, best organized, etc) you've done in the VHLM? The Super Cup series (not sure what it's called) but I'm glad I was chosen by a friend and saw my player rank up against the VHL greats. Any other comments? If I don't go in the Top 5, 5 GMs have made a mistake. boubabi, Victor, Higgins and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/11565-vhlm-this-week-august-24-2014/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
