Official Theme Week Suggestions Post

[Beketov 9,285]

So let's be honest, every season the blues struggle to come up with original themes and every season the league mocks the theme endlessly and complains about how awful it is. Now we could just scrap theme week all together and say "damn ingrates get nothing" but that would be mean wouldn't it? So instead I'm gonna open this: An open ended official theme week suggestion location. This definitely isn't just because we need one for tomorrow.

 

We obviously aren't going to use everything and obviously we only need 1 every couple of months so really we won't use most of them but at least it will allow us a repository of community ideas to pick from so we don't have to blindly stumble into it each season.

 

Ans if they suck you have yourselves to blame

Softest players in the VHL. Already have a sig made for Del Rocco @Victor

[Banackock 8,463]

I agree. The blue team does suck horribly at picking themes. Would it honestly kill y'all to have fun and be creative?  

 

1. An alien spaceship comes down from the VHL multiverse and sucks your player up to their craft. They probe you like you've never been probed before. They extract some fluids and study you hardcore. You wake up in your bed butt naked. This could be normal. Maybe it's not. You can't remember much, but you have these vivid dreams of the experience for the next few days with similar flashbacks and moments of deja vu. You gain super hockey powers and gathered incredible intel about the VHL and it's players. What dreams and experiences did you have?

 

2. TMZ catches your player doing some crazy ass stunts to avoid being traded to a different team during this trade deadline. What things did TMZ catch you doing? How did it all unfold?

 

3. The VHL "cerberus" finally realizes that's one of its 3 heads is not functioning as intended. It's imperative that all 3 heads work because the other 2 are old and not nearly active enough in the daily regimens to help the cerberus and what it protects be strong. What do they replace it with (or who )?

I like the idea of paparazzi / media barrage interrupting a players privacy outside of the rink, could be a fun one.

[animal74 1,915]

Hall of Fame (the inducted players, builders, voting process, next up, etc)

Best lines

Continental Cup heroes

Most important games

World Cup (teams, players, history, etc.)

Create a tournament

Best player names

Favorite community members

Playoff races

Underrated (players, team, builders, members, etc.)

best all time tough guys would be cool to do 

[sadie 1,059]

Ideas:

VHL teammate duos

VHL role model (player/user/GM idc)

Build a team of your favorite VHLers

Mascots

Jerseys (redesign? rating?)

Best international players

Impactful VHL moments (through commentary call, analysis of plays, idk)

Best names

Hype a teammate/prospect

Write about your next player and their career

Reflect on a draft class

Dive into/grade a team’s (recent?) draft history

Best/worst/sleeper draft picks

Why you love/hate a team/player

Why you’re still here/enjoy the league

VHL/NHL comparisons (who was/is your generation’s Crosby, Ovechkin, Maroon , who does your player take after, who are the VHL’s Leafs, Habs, Sabres)

 

Blues please add in more specific ideas for what to focus on; give that one to two word overarching theme and then prompt us a bit (optionally of course)!

• Looney Tunes mash up movie idea with michael jordan. Who do you bring in to help beat the MONSTARS of the VHL?!
• A day as commissioners - be as evil as you want.
• Political campaign based off VHL. Tariffs? War? Banning STHS, swapping to FHM? Coalition deals with the PBE to take over the GMOHL??
• You form a band. Country? Rap group? Pick 2-5 members and create your band, song list, background etc.
• Team themed potluck. Who brings what? Why? where? when? UKRAINIAN FOOD?!
• The team goes on a holiday. Where do you go? What do you do? Who do you do it with?
• You're trying to create a rumour to cast doubt and negativity on another team. What's the rumour/plan/etc
• If your team or player was a movie, which would it be, why and what would the plot be? Die Hard VHL version? Shrek 7 VHL??!
• Your player wakes up one morning with superpowers to save the world. What hockey superpowers do they have? Costume? catch phrase etc?
• TMZ catches your player doing some crazy ass stunts to avoid being traded to a different team during this trade deadline. What things did TMZ catch you doing? How did it all unfold?
• Your teams 747 plane crashes on the deserted island where CJ Daniels is spending their retirement. How do you survive? Who is in charge? What all happens?
• It's fan appreciation day and similar to the MLB, there's some funky new food at each teams arenas. What are some of the craziest choices?
• The VHL isn't always pleasant. What are some spooky tales of the past that keep even the adults up at night looking under the VHL beds? 
• One season rental, trade, Build around forever (somewhat like fuck, marry, kill lol)
• You create a FRANKENSTEIN player with current players in the league. What players do you use to make a beast? Targaryen for scoring? Mina for assist? blah blah
