The VHL: An Amazing League

[Will3 460]

It is amazing to think a something like a simulation league can have a long existence. To think that something of this fringe hobby can last as long as the VHL has is an significant achievement. This league is indeed something special. But what makes this league the  juggernaut mainstay it has become is where many other leagues have long fallen into obscurity? I will voice my answers to this question.

 

The league structure is an amazing entrypoint into sim leagues. Having a application available is huge for being inviting to new players. Giving room for creative art, writing, or speaking  is dream come true for creative types. The league is competive and rewards those who put the effort in but still gives room for those who would rather chill.The league is built around an international game and thus is formed as an international league with teams in both NorthAmerica and Europe. The sim engine while not as big and flashy as like a sport videogame as is common in other leagues, it is consistent updated and refine over the years. We have group of writers publishing top quality articles for all members. and that leads to my main point. 

 

While are these features help the league work, the real power that has kept the league going after all this time is the people. The passion that all the leaders of the VHL possess from each members of the Boad of Governor down to the lowest AGM is evidence in all that these do to support the league. These people sweat every detail to make everything as perfect as it can be. But more than just being great leaders they are great people here. Everyone here is so willing to jump in to help everyone out not only succeed in the game but in the real world as well. This community is one of the best places on the whole internet in general with none of the destructive toxicity that is tearing the world apart and that I personally despise. If a sim league is only as strong as its members, the VHL is as strong and unbreakable as a diamond. I am proud to be a small part of amazing place and to call myselfa VHL member.

 

As we celebrate the seventeen birthday celebration of our common found home and family, I can't help but look ahead to the big milestones that are soon to come. It will not be long before we celebrate the one hundredth season of VHL and VHLM play, an unprecedented achievement. Then in three years, in will be the twentieth birthday of our beloved league, sure to be a celebration like none other. The only reason the VHL has gone the distant it has is entirely the result of our love and passion for the game and each other. That is what makes the VHL the special league it is today and tomorrow. Here is a toast to all of us who have kept this league going. This is our achievement.
