The Presser with Bobbus Dingus

[Tetricide 701]

Hi there! Welcome to a new segment I've created called "The Presser" with me! Bobbus Dingus! I get to sit down with some of the best players in each of the leagues and pick their brains! We will start with this week's episode, ending 28 July 2024.

 

1. Welcome to the show and thank you for taking time out of your busy day to do this! The draft is right around the corner for each of the leagues. If you're already in the VHL, are there any prospects in the pool you're hoping your team drafts? If you're a future prospect, have teams started reaching out to you yet and are there any teams you're wanting to play for most?

 

2. Following the drafts will be the Training Camp! For those in the VHL or about to play their first season, who are you looking forward to training with and do you have any new tricks you want to work on?

 

3. How good or terrible does your team look as far as being able to compete in next season's playoffs?

 

4. Do you have any vacation plans this summer, and if not then what projects are you working on?

 

5. What would you imagine your team's mascot would look like? No bonus points if you give it a name, but puns and play-on-words are totally welcome here!

 

6. How many teams will Manuel Ceson play for in the Minors before playing in the E?

 

That's all for this week! Thank you once again for your time and I'll see you next week!

Just for funsies!

1. There's some really fun players in this draft, and with Moscow always circling around a high pick who knows who we may end up with! I've enjoyed my time around @Greg_Di, @der meister makes wonderful content, and is never afraid to try something new and wacky. @Aimee  has been my AGM whether in title or in practice since I started being active basically, and it will be weird not sharing an LR this season. @Phil and @Ricer13 make any LR popping, and they always have something fun to bring to the day. @CaptainSB would be fitting to go to Moscow as we pick last I'd assume, and that's where they belong! @Anthique @Ozzy Batty and @RileyL all remind me of my favourite era of the VHL, that mid 80s stretch, and I always love seeing them around! @Arce is a Moscow legend, a Marlins legend, and a great guy to hang around, so would love to have him make a magical return for real this time for Moscow!

2. God I have so much TPE to apply, and I haven't come up with a plan for it yet at all. Hoping to bring some slick offensive play to the mix, have the puck a lot and not lose it ideally. Not sure whether I'll lean into passing or not, I'm skeptical and it scares me, but we'll see what happens. Lots of DF left to build to put off that decision.

3. I mean Moscow won, and while they lost some big pieces, @leandrofg and I are definitely the members you want to replenish some lost TPE. We'll be rocking 800ish TPE for the playoffs, and with some killer builds to match.

4. I am not going anywhere this summer, trying to get myself in peak working order for school starting in September. I've missed a lot of opportunity over the last few years from some health concerns I never knew were sapping the life out of me, so I've spent the summer learning how to be a real functional adult. I'm trying to read ahead on my textbooks, work on a website, work my new part-time sales job, continue to make up for the years of terrible metabolism from unknown health issues, and get back into things that make me feel good! I have more energy in a day now than I used to have in a month, and there's just so many things to do!

5. Spartan. I'm not going to lie, the image of Spartan in my head does not match the details I know to be true about him, which I think is very funny. Now I just think about the Michigan State logo.

6. I'll say 2. But that's also a trick question, because he won't play in the E. And not only because I'm going to abolish it!

Happy new year, Victory Hockey League! I have been on a much needed vacation. Now that I'm back, it's time to put the players on the grill and start cookin'!

 

1.) Hello, player! How have you performed in the season so far, and what would you do to improve on it?

 

2.) What has been your worst performance (that you can remember), and what would you have done differently?

 

3a.) First Generation Players - How has your experience been so far in the league, and what would you like to see improved to help new members such as yourself?

3b.) Veterans in the league - Outside of the coveted Founder's and Continental Cups, what are your goals as a player?

 

4.) A charity drive night is being ran by your team/organization! What type of event would it be and which non-profit are the charity proceeds going to?

 

5.) Some people have a fear of spiders...some of heights...some of clowns like me! If you had to face a fear of your choice that you actually have, what is that fear and how would you do it?!

 

6.) What is your preferred ice level in a beverage cup, and should those who fill their cup all the way with ice just get a smaller sized cup with less ice?

 

Thanks for tuning into this week's episode! Players, thank you for your time and good luck out there on the ice!

1. Hello there! To be honest, I am not that content with myself. I feel like there is so much I can do to improve, and the team thinks so, too. I tend to allow stupid amount of goal, which is not ideal. The team relies on me holding the back door shut. I need to get a grip.

2. Fuh, hard to pinpoint the exact game, there were several that went all south. I am not proud of these, not even a little bit. But I guess that the last game with Chicago was a nightmare. I allowed in 7 goals, which is just.. Unexcuseable. I should have cleared my head during the intermissions. Now I know I have to remain calm as much as possible.

3a. It has been awesome! I love it here! To be frank, I don't see much that should be changed in order to help newcomers in the league.. I feel like the system, websites and all are pretty coherent and makes sense. Plus, there are veterans who are eager to help you as a newbie, which is just lovely!

4. I love animals, dogs specifically. So I would run a "Phantom Dogs on Ice" event. Doggos would have bed sheets over them, they would run around the rink and then, we, the players, would submit our themed creations (like costumes, mini statues etc.) for public auction. The money gained would then be given to a doggo shelter. 

5. Fuuuh, I would probably try to face spiders. Not that I have an arachnophobia, I actually adore them. It is just that.. I have a hard time picking spiders up. I would love to overcome this to be able to handle these gorgeous creatures. Even though they're not for cuddling and shouldn't be handled often, I know.

6. Depend on the beverage. But normally, I don't fill my cup more than halfway up. I feel like that's the absolute maximum necessary.

 

Thanks for your questions!

1. Hi there! I think I would like to put up some more points. I've been doing better with that lately but of course there's always some room to improve.

2. Getting smoked 8-3. I have to be better on defense and do my best to lead the way from the rest of the team.

3a. It's been a good time! Having some kind of assigned mentor or someone to check in with you every so often would be nice.

4. We'd be raising money for the local children's hospital and we'd ask people to pledge a certain amount for every lap we take. We've gotten really good at laps lately. @N0HBDY

5. I hate snakes and I would just do my best to stay calm.

6. I love all the ice because generally, I drink water but I hate room temperature or warm water. So as the ice melts, I get more water and the water also stays cold. double win. Thank you very much!
