Gustav 6,102 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 What's up @VHLM GM! I'm recreating next week, and I'm sure you know that, thanks to the new waiver system, I have the chance to play anywhere I want. The trouble with that, though, is that I don't want any of you to feel as though I'm picking favorites or screwing someone over by going a certain way. As commissioner, I want to be as fair as possible. Something that's just as contentious as recreates choosing to play in places that appeal to them (could you imagine?) is the sentiment that, under the current waiver system, GMs lose a little bit of their own personalities and can't communicate as directly with new players--sacrificing a little creative edge for something that's otherwise been fairly convenient and taken the load off. It's with those old feelings in mind that I'm inviting you to make a pitch in this thread to my upcoming player (who's going to be on defense, if you're wondering). I'm not asking to be worshipped or begged here; just give me the no-BS rundown of why your team will be the right landing spot for me next week. You can give me any reasons you'd like (and being creative in the right ways could be a bonus), but I'm mostly looking for solid reasoning as to what should make me want to click your button. What will I get as a player? Do you have any special first-gens I should get to know? Why will I enjoy interacting with your team? I'll likely go with whoever I think is most convincing, so convince away if you'd like! I'll show you pretty soon where hard work and honesty can pay off.

Lemorse7 898 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Well Philly lr have the best emotes of course, we are 1st in the standings so we kinda good I guess even with vsn doing some weiird math to put us like 8 on there power rankings. We also have 5 Jinns who are the rarest kind of vhl player you can catch SO like @Alex #DontBeSillyComeToPhilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLovin 389 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Las Vegas has bolstered the best offense in the VHLM for the last two seasons, but has struggled greatly with defense and keeping pucks out of our own net. Most of the people on the Aces are either close friends or family (no joke, they're almost all my referrals LOL) so we all got really good chemistry. All in all, I think your dman would be a great addition to the Aces if you considered us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape 528 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Ottawa has strong underdog potential, and with your claiming, you'd definitely be logging some good minutes. Defense has been the weakest link on this team and with you as an addition we could very well be a top team. I feel like I've always had success maximizing the defensive potential of a roster. With an already good offense, I'd wager we'd be nigh unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Ricer13 2,592 Posted February 1 Moderator Share Posted February 1 Saskatoon would welcome your new player with open arms. The culture in the locker room is building quite nicely and as of late the team is turning a corner and starting to show they can compete. We have great group of new to the league members on our team and having your player join that group would not only be beneficial for yourself but would be greatly beneficial to them as well. There is plenty of opportunity for your player to move up the line up but with as many new active players as we have, you would be a supportive role and added depth to the team to help us make a push during the playoffs. Did I mention we have a Berocka!?!? Goodluck wherever you end up deciding to live in Saskatoon and enjoy all the Forum Content we have to offer.

ShawnGlade 1,002 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 On Halifax you'd literally start on the first line in front of a good goalie and a great FWD core.

Mysterious_Fish 260 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) San Diego is a great city home of a great team. 2nd in the league but slowly falling due to our defensive troubles at the moment. A bunch of recreates and a few 1st gens by the names of: Adam, and the entire defence core who are all ready to grow and develop and have been doing so. With a nasty 2nd line on the forwards and some good developing defensemen you would slot right onto our 2nd defence line. Here at San Diego we hope you enjoy wherever you choose to go. Just remember Marlins always stay together. Edited February 1 by Mysterious_Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hylands 838 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Recreate Rules 1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a recreate like that. 1a. A recreate is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A recreate is when you recreate the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The user is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, GMs, that prohibits the GMs from doing, you know, just trying to sign the player. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the user is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the GMs, like, "I'm gonna sign for ya! I'm gonna play for your team! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to sign and then don't sign, you have to still sign. You cannot not sign. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, signing motion of the contract, and then, until you just sign it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the signing up here, like this, but then there's the recreating you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Gustav hasn't had a defenceman recreate in forever. I hope he wasn't typecast as that one guy that only cares about stat padding. 1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, he's on the Board of Governors too! That's even worse. 1c-b(2)-b(ii). "delete the E" -- Gustav Mattias, "BoG." Haha, classic... 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A recreate is when the user makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the signing and field of 2) Do not do a recreate please.
