We are going to do a predictive Press Conference

 

1) Which player is going to score the teams first goa this season, provide reason?

2) How many bot goals will we have this season, Why?

3) What will be our backup goalies stats in their expected 7 games, why?

4) Does London make the playoffs in season 92, why?

5) Which new player to the team scores the first goal, why?

6) On a scale of 1-10 how good of a GM will Jacob be this year, why?

 

1. Well it's too late to the party, but I swear I don't remember who scored it. Let's pretend the season hasn't started yet - it's gonna be Molly, they will lead the team in goals, they will score the first one to let everyone know.

 

2. What's a realistic number? I'll just make up a number - make it 17! No idea why,

 

3. We have a lot of strong, two-way players who can make anyone between pipes look good, I'd say 0.905-0.91 SV% and around 2.5 GAA,

 

4. Yes, definitely, we have elite offense and goaltender! We're just too strong not to make it. If we don't, Simon probably found the good stuff again.

 

5. My boy Torbjorn, he's massive! He'll just power through everybody and puts the puck through the net.

 

6. Now that's hard to predict, but he's already won the Cup  as a GM, I believe he knows what's needed to make another push, 8.7/10!

It is time for our next press conference.  Hope everyone is enjoying the easy TPE.  Remember when answering to use sentence structure.

 

1) How are you feeling about our the season so far?

2) Why do you think we are finding it hard to score goals? (At the point of writing this we are second lowest in the league)

3) Why do you think we have so few goals against us? (At the point of writing this we are tied for the least amount of goals against)

4)  Isamu Knieval is currently sitting with 195 career points, do they reach 200 before the next press conference release (so in about 14 games), why?

5) What do you expect our average goals per game to be by season end, why? (Currently we are at 2.43 goals per game)

6) Will Teno end the season below 2 GAA, why? (Currently Teno sits at 1.85GAA)

1) I'm feeling good about our season so far. Our stars are out there doing their thing. Our depth has really been showing up as well.
2) It's been a bit of a cold start but we always find our groove. I'm not even worried about it.
3) Jesse Teno, duh. A shoutout to my fellow blueliners as well.
4) Yes! A handful of good games and Knieval is easily there. Let's go!
5) 3.11 is my guess. We're going to pick up the scoring pace soon but I don't want to be too generous. We'll see..
6) Absolutely! Teno is just phenomenal in goal. We'll be doing everything we can to make that happen.

1. I think thea team is underperforming a bit we should be higher on the standings but I need to get my line going

2. The team is built around strong defence so scoring less goals is to be expected as long as the differential is looking good!

3. We have the best goalie in the league and a very defence oriented system!

4. They should do, one of the best dmen on our roster so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them surpass 200 career points.

5. I expect it to tick up ever so slightly maybe to around 2.75 but I think we will be a relatively low scoring team in general

6. YES OF COURSE NO QUESTION! Teno is the best

1. Meh. I feel like Jesse could be doing better considering last season. I hoping they can pick up a run of wins soon.

2. Well, I'd say it's probably where players have their TPE applied but I also feel like the right answer is because Simon says so.

3. Teno! Teno! Teno! One of the few things right now where they are excelling this season.

4. Can confirm they did! Congrats!

5. I'm hoping between 3 and 4. I don't know why. I am bad at hockey stats and analyzing these things.

6. Hopefully! They're currently sitting at above 2 with the last week of games just not going well. Hoping they can get back into form soon.

Welcome to next press conference. Every now and again I go a little rogue with these and come up with some theme.  Sometime it makes things funny, sometimes it is painful. (I promise no literary requirements).

So this week I thought I would pick the topic of AI use in point tasks.

 

1) What is your opinion on the use of AI in generating written point tasks (media Spots, articles)?

2) What is your opinion on the use of AI in generating graphic point tasks?

3) In your opinion is there a level of AI use that is acceptable?

4) The punishments that have been handed out so far to people caught using AI, were they fair, too soft, too harsh?

5) Have you ever used AI tools, (Inside of VHL or outside), tell us about your experience with the tools?

6) Do you think AI will evolve to the point that people will no longer be involved in areas like book writing, journalism, creating paintings. Discuss your opinion?

1. A bit too slow of a start for my liking. But it's still fairly early in the season, we're still finsing our groove.

 

2. We had depth scoring issues early on. The guys really stepped up during the week tho, and it looks like it's the top guys struggling to score now.

 

3. It's mostly Jesse Teno's heroics, they've been probably the best goalie in the league once again.

 

4. They're a bit under half a point per game throughout their career, including the early years of development, yea, I think there's a good chance they do.

 

5. I think we can keep at around where it is, we've got Teno, defensively strong blue line and some forwards with elite two way game. I see no reason why it should go up.

 

6. I'm not a big goalie guy, I don't follow the stats too much, but it sounds like that would be a historic season. I have them as my Clegane prediction, but I wouldn't bet on sub-2 GAA too much.

1. I think it would be okay to use chatGPT or something as a research tool to summarize something for you, which then you could use as a source of information to write your own tasks, but not presenting the AI text itself as a PT.

 

2. As long as it's not something that's claimed as graphics, I'm 100% okay with it - like a graphic thingy for an article or a media spot, or graphics for press conference, or for a player sig that's not claimed, or for web design etc.

 

3. Well, I've pretty much answered that. As long as the result itself isn't claimed, it's fair game to use anywhere in my opinion.

 

4. I've only seen one, not sure which member it was or what the punishment was, but I remember my reaction was hm, that's fair.

 

5. Not really, I've only done some stuff with image geerators just for the laughs to share in the LR, like I remember I did a pack of cartoon wolves playing hockey. Overall, I really like AI tools and use them quite a bit for personal use.

 

6. This feels too serious for a sim game haha. I definitely think there is potential for it, and I wouldn't mind with the condition that everything AI generated has to be labeled as such. In art, it's kinda fascinating to watch AI do art, but it should specifically be called "AI art" - or shorten it as airt? With journalism, I'd prefer it to human based journalism as long as it's just raw data and facts fed to the algorithm, which then simplifies it for a lay person, without any agendas. But I'm somewhat sure that wouldn't mostly be the case.

1. I think to ask AI to write a whole article is lazy and wrong. But I think using it to pull sources or to manufacture a basis for an article is fine.

2. I think with AI and graphics, the person should be doing 90-99% of the work and then if there is something they want to do to the piece that either would require more skill/knowledge or a paid program, then I think you could ask AI to do one or two small tweaks or filters to finish it off.

3. Like I said above, I think minimal. Research and devils advocate for writing, and just a finishing touch on graphics.

4. I don't know the exact punishments handed out but I think if you're going to use AI to do all of your work, then yea, a TPE ban for however many weeks seems fair.

5. I played with ChatGPT once just to see what it could create regarding hockey and I found it hard to get what I would have actually needed if I had wanted to use AI to write for me.

6. I hope not. AI can only create based off of what it pulls from existing material. If AI were to start writing whole books, it would end up spitting out the same old stories that we've been reading. It would completely take away true creativity. Besides, AI isn't perfect and probably never will be. I hope artists and writers start to use that program to contaminate their works so that AI can't pull from them.

Okay so since this is theme week we will be doing a theme week related press conference

 

1) If we did a all star game tournament where each team was chosen based on draft year, which draft class between season 75 and 85 would win, why?

2) Do you think you would make your draft class all start team, why, why not?

3) If you had to draft a VHLM all star team, who would be your first puck, why?

4) On an all star team which position is most important? Why?

5) Should the VHL reinstate the all star game, why, why not?

6) For season 100 celebrations should we do a decades team, all star tournament (season 1-10 has a team, season 11-20, etc) why or why not

1. 85! I mean, I just built the team in my media spot and Teno is on it so you know it's gonna kick ass. 

2. I think so. Jesse is still one of the top goalies despite not having a great season stats wise. 

3. Vanellope von Schweetz. Mostly because it's a veteran member and I don't really have any other reason because I have not been following the M at all. 

4. I think Center. If you're pulling guys from all different teams, you need a center for them to rally around as their main guy and I think they help pull the team together. 

5. Sure! It's before my time but I feel like it would be a good extra thing to have. 

6. Maybe not a decades team because I'm sure the attributes will be widely different from s1 to s100. But I do think some sort of tournament to celebrate would be good.

1) Well I Know it's not an option but I think the S86 draft is pretty stacked

2) I don't think so, I was very late in my earning habits so I'm not sure I'd be part of that

3) All time or current, going of all-time gotta go with my own player the VHLM legend :D if currently possibly Wayne Shotzky guy scores goals

4) Ooh, tricky one potentially goalie or centre in my opinion!

5) Yeah why not would make the seasons a bit more exciting and encourage players to earn more TPE within their draft years to gain a spot on the roster!
6) That's a really cool concept I dont see why not the only issue is a lot of players who played the older seasons won't be around anymore and a lot of currently active players won't make the rosters.

1. Oh, that's before my first gen player's draft class. I've never been into history, so I can't really say, I don't know all the players. Was Daniel Janser in one of the classes? If he was, definitely his class!

 

2. Oh, that's tough. The Frenchman and Daryl Dixon are the clear-cut forwards no. 1 and no. 2. The last spot would come to Bogatyrev or Kerr. Kerr has been ever so slightly more productive than Bogatyrev, but Bog has played one more season in the VHL. I'd say it's a coin toss.

 

3. Jean-Pierre Devote, he's been so good as a two-way player. I believe he will be a top 3 scorer in the league in the end.

 

4. You have to go with a forward first in my opinion, a fantastic two-way scorer to be your MVP.

 

5. Yes, I think it could be fun! Let the members elect 4 captains, then let the captains draft their 3F 2D 1G teams, with some restriction, like 3 players from one team at most.

 

6. Why not, but personally the only thing I'd be interested in would be to see how hybrid era players would do against pre-hybrid era players.

So SDM doesn't have one this week so... I'm doing this one!

1. S81, or S84, both are super stacked classes, though I'm leaning towards S81 because of Janser, just like Mr. Wann Kerr said.

2. Y E S, S93 all star team right now hasn't done much but Devote being one of the best VHLM players right now including first to 20, 30, and 40 goals this season says something.

3. Devote, Forum Content, and Nabokov are all super close right now so I'd say it could go to any of those three, I'm definitely biased towards Devote though.

4. Goalie probably, since in most all star games there is very little defense, so having an insane goalie helps quite a bit.

5. Hell yeah, even if it's just the selections, I liked the top prospects game, and I'm totally not influenced by Retoslav being the MVP or anything in S83...

6. That's an awesome idea to be honest, I feel like the amount of engagement possible from that is huge and it'd be really cool to see that.

This will be a predictive press conference

 

1) Who do you think will end the season with the most goal, why?

2) Who do you think will end the season with the most assists, why?

3) Which goalie will have the most wins, why?

4) Who do you think will be first in the NA conference, why

5) Who do you think will be first in the EU conference, why?

6) Who do you think will win the Continental Cup, why?

1.  Up my OV and DC with my banked points.

 

2. The Frenchman seems to have that locked down

 

3. Art Vandalay Is my pick with LA.  They are a tough team and I think will go on an impressive run to end the season. 

'

4. LA.  They have all the tools and I think the mere presence of Rip Wheeler @ScottyP will force a good Calgary team to falter in the remaining games.  LOL 

 

5. Going out on a limb here and gonna say Moscow will win the division.  They are streaky and get hot.  I think they have another run and pass up Malmo

 

6. Prague . Prague has some real studs on offense and a great goalie in Murdock.  I think they make huge upsets in playoffs and win the cup against LA in 6 games.  Jameson MVP

6) Who do you think will win the Continental Cup, why?

1. I think unless anyone can make a real push in the next 9 games, I think AK92 Wit da Hoodie has it.

2. I'm going to say that Pierre Emile Bouchard will overtake the Frenchman.

3. I think Olober Syko. Moscow is right on Malmo's butt so I think Syko could get those extra wins in to pass Ash Sparks.

4. I think LA has a chance to pass Calgary. They're only 2 points off so I think they have a chance. Plus they have the better goal diff.

5. I'd like to see Moscow overtake Malmo. They only need 6 points to pass and I think it's doable.

6. As much as I'd like to say London, I think Prague with its individual players is too good.

AS the regular season has just ended we are going to do a Playoff focused Press Conference

 

1) Do you expect London to get past the play in round, why

2) Who do you think wins the North American Play in round and why?

3) What player do you expect to bring an extra push in the playoffs, why?

4) Will any player be a disappointment in the playoffs, why?

5) Other than London who do you think will represent Europe in the finals, why?

6) Who do you think will represent North America in the finals, why?

1. I hope so! We're an amazing team we just gotta get some luck on our side.

2. Toronto, just based on the goal differential alone.

3. I think Molly the Cat will want to go out with a bang so I think she'll dominate.

4. No! We are a team of players who make their moms proud! No disappointments on this team.

5. I think Moscow has one more chance to lose in the finals so I'm rooting for them.

6. Probably Calgary. After their loss of Landon, I think they've made a real comeback.

1) Do you expect London to get past the play in round, why

Yes, our team is very strong! We should have a good run at the cup!

2) Who do you think wins the North American Play in round and why?
Toronto they have a very strong roster.

3) What player do you expect to bring an extra push in the playoffs, why?

I think my player will be able to bring some heat. Was definitely having a stellar performance towards the end of the season!

4) Will any player be a disappointment in the playoffs, why?

I think there are a few goalies that might end up being disappointing just due to a small sample size.

5) Other than London who do you think will represent Europe in the finals, why?

Malmo is the other team that comes to mind they are extremely strong.

6) Who do you think will represent North America in the finals, why?

Has to be Calgary, Leandro is a fantastic GM and built and incredible team.

 

1. Yes, we have elite offense and goaltending, and the proven core who has already done it before.

 

2. I was rooting for the Americans bcause of S. Analfist, and I'm not a fan of Toronto, I have some history with them from my Vancouver days.

 

3. I hope Kerr, my player. He was pretty underwhelming in the regular season, I hope he will step his game up.

 

4. Well I certainly hope no one, we need to step up and stay consistent, I believe in this squad.

 

5. Hopefully Moscow. A) because of Spartan and B) I don't want to play against Bouchy again!

 

6. As long as Art Vandelay is in the game, you can never count LA out, I think they're gonna get far, even meet us in the finals.

Crashing your PC

 

1. I really think that writing an original post is really not that hard and using AI is a waste of time.  The PT are not complicated (graphics excluded).

 

2. So I will admit I am clueless to graphics in general.  Tried making one on Pixlr and it was so shitty I quit and never went back.  Not familiar with AI and graphics but I am sure it can be cheated easily.

 

3. Tough question.  In real life when composing a letter or something you want to word smith well, possibly.  I usually knock out my media spot and VHL article on Saturdays and it takes me maybe 30 minutes.  here in VHL I don't think using it is necessary or relevant.  

 

4. I am not familiar with punishments but I am sure they were fair.  

 

5. No, I have never had the need to.  My wife (a doctor) uses it for charting notes between patients and says its helpful there but I have no need for it yet.

 

6. It scares me a bit.  I am a huge reader and think that AI could really cost writers their employment in the future. Technology comes with a price like we've seen with social media to the point now phones control most peoples lives.  AI could contribute to that in negative ways.  Time will tell

We are in the final stretch of season 92 so I am going to do a press conference on endings

 

1) Which movie has the best ending, why?

2) Do you like post/mid credit videos, why?

3) When your career ends will you recreate? why?

4) Give me your thoughts on Bidets?

5) Does your player have an end of game routine? What is it?

6) Does your player have an end of season routine? What is it?

1. Star Wars: Rogue One comes to mind. I love how they tied right into Episode 4 so you could watch them back to back and it would be amazing.

2. I do! If done right they either allow for an additional experience or a fun teaser. 

3. Yes! And while I will be sad to see Teno go after next season, I'm equally as excited to create my new player.

4. The wife and I are considering installing one in our bathroom at home. 

5. Bounce off the walls after a win or pray to Simon after a loss.

6. Fly back home and dive right into their foundation.

1. I'm really, really, really not a movie guy. I watch The Lord of the Rings extended trilogy every December 25th, and that's the only movies I watch just because I want to. But probably Silent Hill, because I'm not a fan of happy endings.
