Kirby Rambles: Still Ramblin'

[kirbithan 1,764]

 

What a surprise, we’re back for another Kirby Rambles! You may be asking, “Does this girl ever stop yapping?” The answer is no, apparently I do not. As we quickly approach the end of the year, I’m trying to push through the rest of this semester of school and try not to go insane by the end of it from the group projects, exams, and assignments. 

 

River’s production as well as the Ottawa Lynx as a whole have slowed down, which isn’t ideal. Don't get me wrong, we’re still doing well, but the race for first in the league going into the playoffs is extremely tight with Ottawa tied with Mississauga (who have been on a hot streak) for second with 85 points. Philadelphia sits on top currently at 88 points, with the rest of the league fighting for playoff spots. While the Lynx were almost unstoppable at the beginning of the season, the other squads have caught up and that much is clear. This just makes these last few sims even more integral and fun to see unfold, which one can never complain about, honestly.

 

Currently, River is sitting at 78 points, 84 hits, and 68 shots blocked after 66 games as we near the end of the regular season, and I’ve already said my goodbyes to any individual player awards unless a miracle happens in these last few sim days. The point totals are projected to be just a tad better than last season, and while you may be wondering, “Kirby, your player is a defenseman. Why are you worrying about scoring?” It’s because I had an offensive D in mind when I created this player, though I’m not too happy about his defensive play either. As long as the Lynx make it far into the playoffs, I won’t be mad, though. I suppose the original hot start really set my expectations highly for my player and now that he isn’t meeting them, it kinda sucks, to say the least. But Simon giveth, and Simon taketh away, as wise VHL members have said many times before. We’ll see what ends up happening.

 

I suppose this strange season is attributed to this being the first season without the VHLE since the COVID boom, which is fair. Of course, the VHLM is directly affected by the E’s abolishment due to the influx of players and the increased TPE cap. As I prepare to graduate to the VHL, River’s got 115 TPE banked that will be extremely satisfying to apply (once I get the proper advice for my build).

 

In other news, I said I’d jump into making graphics again but haven’t had the time nor the energy to do so. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t in this limbo/purgatory state trying to balance the VHL, school, and my personal life, but with Thanksgiving break coming up soon, I’m hoping the chaos will blow over. I have a few wonderful folks still waiting in my queue and I hope to fulfill those requests soon. 

 

That’ll do it for this edition of Kirby Rambles. I’ve sort of lost track of the days and time, but hopefully, when I am able to contribute more time to the VHL once more, I’ll be back with a bang! Thanks for reading and see you in the next edition!
