Happy Birthday VHL! 

 

73pKPb6.gif

 

For any of you who are unaware, today, Thursday July 18th, 2019 marks the 12th anniversary of the VHL opening its doors, all the way back on the original Invisionfree forum that many sim leagues used back in the day. A lot has happened over the years, as nearly 100 of you described last year. 

 

With our birthday comes the annual tradition of gifts for all the league’s members, in exchange for a small amount of work, of course. This year, we are asking all of you to come up with at least three creative player names* to be used in replacing the bots in the sim, including at least two skaters and one goalie. If you'd like, you can specify which league and/or team the name would go on. As a reward, you will receive 12 Uncapped TPE, as well as a Doubles Week to be used with a Point Task submission in the next month**. The ones we like the best will be used to replace the generic "TEAM C1" names currently in the sims.

*Please remember that the league does not condone the use of slurs or foul language in the naming of its players.

**Uncapped TPE and Doubles Week must both be claimed by the week ending August 18th

Decided to pick my names in fitting fashion to the anniversary by basing them off former HoFers of the league who decided to take too much advertising money. Therefore I present to you:

 

Skaters:

Sterling Coors

Matt Bentley

 

Goalie:

Maxim Disney

 

Also while not required I’d like to give my yearly obligatory speech.

 

The VHL has grown a lot since I joined exactly 12 years ago. There have been many times over the years when I expected it would close its doors; both times the forum had to be moved and prior to this huge boom in members being the most prominent ones. Every year that passes I’m more and more amazed by the ability of our members to make the league thrive, both in enjoyment and in sheer volume. This league has always been about the community for me and I’m thankful to see the community thriving once again. Here’s to one of our best years ever and I look forward to many more to come.

 

Now enjoy your free gifts in exchange for a tiny amount of posting you greedy vultures :P

 

P. S my usual addition as well, those who’s pay covers a PT can claim the doubles week as part of their regular pay, just add 6 TPE via other.

18 free teeps? Might as well name a bot TPE INFLATION while we're at it :P 

A season takes roughly 2 months which makes a career a year and a half on average. A big celebration like this 1-2 times per career is acceptable.

I'm mostly chirping at some of the old folks who say we young ones have it too easy with all the free TPE being handed out lately
