Thanks for the shoutout @AhmaI fully enjoyed mentoring you. LOVED the fact that you had tons of questions. And it's great to still see you around!

Tagging me once is plenty, I’m not beetlejuice. Timecodes help.

 

Also if you did say “as commish you MUST listen to this” then I probably wouldn’t; don’t you tell me what to do

 

But yes, don’t rush things. I took over 8 years before I did anything more than grading or updating.

I'm going to be honest, I could listen to @FrostBeard talk all day.

For full clarity, my jobs are VHL GM, VHLM Commissioner, Updater and Financier. I used to have VHFL and WC Commissioner until I got M Commish and decided to get some things off my plate so that I wasn't overwhelmed with things.

 

Realistically though, I only feel like I have two jobs as a GM and Commish. Those are really the only two positions where I log in to the league and feel that there are some responsibilities I need to take care of. Updater is fairly more lowkey since I can just do it for an hour a week and clear quite a few, and financier is really just adjusting salaries after depreciation and then approving trades every so often.

 

In terms of your points about holding jobs, I think people should just recognize their own time commitment to the VHL and decide if they'd like a specific job or not. There's a weird aura around jobs, that people feel they need to have them. I enjoy being a GM to scratch my sports management itch, and being a commissioner gives me the ability to assist with back-end things like opening training camp, setting draft boards, a lot of admin things that take some work off the Blues plates. But I also joined during the COVID pandemic and was able to give a lot of time to the league when I started, which allowed me to become a M GM within a season of joining. I highly doubt I'd have gone at that pace if I joined the league today. I refuse to hold any jobs in any other league for similar reasons, I simply can't hit an activity level that I feel is sufficient. If people are able to earn 8, 10, 12 TPE a week just from doing tasks in 30 minutes a week, that should be more than fine.

This is why I will always be of the mindset that the VHL not have any kind of split cap. A job should just be a different way to earn, not allow people to earn above what any person without a job can earn. I shouldn't be able to automatically out earn someone else just because of the colour of my username, it's just a different way that I earn.
