Claimed:Why Titan Kronos Shouldn't Go #1 in the VHLM Draft

[Evans 305]

 

I still don't know very much about hockey so I kind of struggled figuring out what to write about today. You can only go so far with extended quotes and ass kissing in these media spot. Until I decide to start building storylines for Kronos, I'm just going to make these random as fuck. This week it's going to be about why Kronos shouldn't be #1 on your list in the VHLM Draft next season. He's currently not, but I'm going to tell you why you are right and should overlook me.

 

Why Titan Kronos Shouldn't Go #1 in the VHLM Draft

 

1. My History

 

I started to do sim leagues when I was like 13 or 14. I'm now 24. When I first started doing those things, I was annoying as fuck. I pretty much signed up hoping that my player would be able to dominate from day one. When he didn't I either tried to start arguments or just decided to leave the league all together. I was apart of most of the incarnations of the MSFL and never really found any success there. SBA was my return to sim leagues after taking a long hiatus and efedding for some years. I joined not thinking that the site would last very long but willing to give it a chance because there was finally a basketball sim league in existence. I took over as GM over there in my second season and have GMed the team from Philadelphia ever since. I've won two championships, two MVPs, and made countless moves that have made me look like a genius despite me really just not wanting to fucking rebuild. Lesnar was recently inducted into the SBA HoF. So I have a ten year history in sim leagues and I have only been able to play out one player's career. I'm a piece of trash.

 

2. Knowledge of Hockey

 

I still don't know a damn thing about this sport. Since signing up here, I have found myself sticking on a hockey game a little longer while channel surfacing but I have not done any research into the sport. I signed up as a defensemen only because there was a need for it. I still have no idea what they do or how you measure a good player from a bad player in this position. Despite these things, my interest in this league has not diminished at all. This league has been around for a long time and I hate that I have not been here to be apart of it. I lasted a couple weeks with Jacques Grande before completely forgetting about this place legitimately for a while. Green's guy that he just retired was in the VHLM when I was here last to put the amount of time in perspective. So yeah, I don't know this sport.

 

3. I'm Competitive

 

I fucking hate losing. People say that this stuff is just a game and whatnot, but it pisses me off when I am not able to win. If I am going to take time from my week to write and put effort in on something like this, I want to see results. No one keeps playing video games they aren't good at because its not fun to lose. It's different if you aren't able to prosper at something like this because you can't put the full effort in. Any league that I am updating max points in each week, I want to win. I want to see results and I want there to be a clear cut vision on the way that we are building as a team. If someone is going to just throw pieces together and hope it works out, I don't want to play for them. This is a game of strategy at times and GMs have to be willing to put in the effort on the game planning side if they want me putting in the effort on the player side. I've always been the loyal player on teams in the past and I have only won three total championships in my sim career because of it (2 SBA, 1 USFL). I want to see results during my time here and if I feel like the GM isn't doing his due diligence, I will be calling him out on it.

 

Other than these three reasons I named, there are all kinds of things that should make me an obvious choice for Mr. Irrelevant come draft time. I suggest you heed my warning and avoid my player, unless you like drafting a guy that is going to be very active and among the cream of the crop for his draft class and potentially his entire position.

Just up your skating and defense for the most part and you'll be a stud defenseman. Everything else is basically up to you.

Dude don't be so negative! You got this!

The main stats you look for in every player is Goals, Assists, and points. Goals are scoring goals, assists are assisting with the goal scoring, either by passing the puck to a teammate right before the goal or by shooting and your teamate scores off the rebound. Points are a combination of goals+assists.

 

As a defensemen, you aren't expected to have as many points as a forward, because you stay back more and play defense. While you still want to look at your points, some other good stats to look at are shots blocked, hits, and +/- to indicate how well you are doing on defense. +/- measures every time you are on the ice, how many goals your team scores vs how many goals the other team scores. For example, if your team scores 3 goals with you on the ice and gives up 2 goals with you on the ice your +/- is 1. Hope this helps!

It was easier to write about why someone shouldn't draft me than why they should lol. 

 

Appreciate all the help regarding stats and stuff. I'll catch on eventually
