Lesieur's Path to the Hall of Fame Wide Open

[KC15 340]

My Media Spot for Theme Week was a case for my player, Guy Lesieur, to make the Hall of Fame some day and it was based wholly on in game performance of M. Lesieur – how he was progressing in goals scored, assists notched, shots taken, and an increasingly good shot percentage.

 

This article, however, is taken written more from a meta level – based on more real life, human factors: Guy Lesieur’s player (me), his GM @Enorama, and his teammates.

 

Let’s face it. A Hall of Fame career depends partly on luck. But it also depends a great deal on activity level, longevity of that consistent activity, and good player building.

 

Activity level has never been a problem for me. I am nearly a max earner in every sim league I am in – while I am in them. So, I update early (Mondays/Tuesdays) and often (every week).

 

But longevity did look like an issue just about a week or so ago. I realized that I was just in too many leagues. Not so much that I couldn’t get the PTs done, but that I couldn’t keep straight what was happening in the life of each of the leagues. I had so many story lines to follow that I had a hard time following any of them. So, I began to drop leagues to concentrate on the remaining ones.

 

But then the opportunity to become a GM of an expansion team in my primary league, the PBE, came up. I knew it would take a lot more of my time than GMing in the minor leagues and so I announced to Enorama that I would be bowing out of the VHL.

 

He was great about it, but asked if I might be able to continue, but at a much reduced level. Just so I did not leave a hole in the lineup. That seemed reasonable and I was reluctant to leave anyway so I decided to give it a try. Turns out, with just two leagues I really focus on, I’m doing ok. I don’t see any reason I won’t be able to continue on in the VHL. That seems to have solved the longevity issue through the GM factor I mentioned above.

 

And then there are my teammates. The D.C. Dragons LR is a great place to hang out. It’s a big part of the reason I was so reluctant to leave in the first place. And so, looks like I’m here for a while. And Guy Lesieur’s path to the Hall of Fame remains wide open.
