Yesterday night saw the start of the latest Von Axelberry saga where he was sent down to play in the VHLM. The problem in that situation though was that the contract he was offered by his GM that he accepted was $4M, $1M more than the allowed $3M players have to be at to play in the VHLM. Funnily enough, the top post of the send down kicking off the thread had the Bears GM saying he didn't know why he had been called up, something that the financier was absolutely right to do! So I'm making this thread as a shoutout to the guys who do the shitty jobs. @Street x Lite for running the contracts. Luckily this job doesn't see that much action during a certain part of the season, but having done this job myself in another league, the bits that you do have to do suck and you have to constantly be on your toes, especially when bone-idle GMs decide to go "Oh, just give him the minimum". Like, for fucks sake man, there's literally a link in the top post that takes you to the place where the salary rules are! @Corco @Kendrick @Pablo for updating (if there's one other I'm missing I apologize!). This is going to likely get ten times shittier than usual thanks to the updated update scale. Updating their own players is something that even the veterans of the scene mess up every now and again, luckily we've got these gents to sort it out. There are more (the simmers, the sim updater, motherfucking @Will, @DollarAndADream putting up with several months of zero grading), but I'm over my word limit, so fuck you, but actually thank you!

I'm gonna have to be that guy aren't I? 2.4 – Contract Maximums The maximum annual salary for an entry-level player who plays in the VHLM is $3 000 000 So the reason why he was counting against Seattle Bears books was because he absolutely was supposed to, you can't earn $4M in the VHLM. So technically, Axelberry can't play in the VHLM with the contract he's accepted and, ironically enough considering the posts in this thread, is only counted as a VHL player because of the value of the contract that HE accepted, so it not anyone else's fault but his. This'll probably be undone, but those blaming the financier and other GM's in this situation are being ridiculous.

You rude bastard. They deserve praise for their efforts.

It was a very successful season for Bobby Digital and the New York Americans as the superstar defenseman found himself accepting the Continental Cup from Commissioner Draper for the second year in a row. Despite being essentially the only component of a back-to-back championship-winning defensive core, Digital has yet to receive an individual VHL awards thus far in his career. That trend continued when he received 0 votes for the S53 Sterling Labatte Trophy for top defenseman while the S53 Grimm Jonsson Award for top leader was awarded to the Helsinki Titans captain, Franchise Cornerstone. When asked about his lack of individual recognition, and rumours of a VHL Award vote fixing scandal, after the Season 53 Awards Ceremony, the captain of the New York Americans gave the following statement; "I thought the award ceremony was great and all of the award winners were very deserving of recognition. Individual awards are nice, but not something I particularly focus on or care about. My sole ambition is for the New York Americans hockey club to win the Continental Cup. We've been successful in that for the past two seasons and my goal is to continue the trend. I'm very happy for all of the award winners, and I specifically want to congratulate Franchise Cornerstone on his Grimm Johnson trophy. In my mind, he is a great player and a great guy. He's done a lot for the VHL and nobody is more deserving of that award this season." Digital is entering the 6th season of his career and following back-to-back Continental Cup wins, the play-making defender will be looking to lead his New York Americans to a historic 3-peat to cement themselves as another modern-era VHL dynasty team whether individual awards come with that, or not.

Lmao reading through this thread was too funny, especially seeing the exact moment when Robbie started sweating. The problem here is that this 'send down' thread was not needed as Axelberry was never on Seattle and he was never forced up because he doesn't have 200 TPE.

No problem, buddy. If there was even a sliver of a chance that I could claim your services, I wanted to. Even with the small loss of TPE you were going to be a huge asset, but for me, most likely trade bait since I have Ironside. But if you're taking the approach that we were "trying to fuck you", then I don't know what to say. As a GM, this is a free asset if it were to go through. Easy, smart move for an active guy that could easily make up that TPE. Plus losing that little amount of TPE wouldn't really affect much. If you ever decide to reverse your attitude, I may take one of your players on one day. Maybe.

@Corco@BobertZ Two-Way Contracts: • Any rookie will automatically have a two-way clause attached to their contract for the duration of their rookie contract. • A two-way contract will allow teams to call up and send down a player without them having to clear waivers. • After a player has surpassed 175TPE, at the start of the next season after surpassing this mark their two-way clause will become void. • A two-way contract for a Prime or Veteran player does not permit that player to not count against the cap.

That was exactly my point. I said not to worry about it because of that exact reason, but I decided to argue in here because why not on a Saturday night?

Thanks for the effort, @Will. This was no small undertaking, I'm sure.

how to kill a league in 1 easy step. 1. have two 3-peats in a 7 season span.

SHLers say VHL lacks in activity? 50 posts in 1 hour, boys.

TWO WAYZ ARE VOID IF THEY ARE OVER 175 TPEZ

lmao is Robbie getting robbie'd?

If this is how it's going down. I will retire Axelberry and no one gets him. I rather lose TPE then have teams fuck me over playing in the VHLM. I'll recreate as a goalie and refuse to play for all your teams come the next draft.

According to waiver rules, after placing a claim, you'd go to that VHL teams roster. Then if THEY want to still send you down, you'd have to go through waivers again.

"When sending a player down who has over 175 TPE and does not have a two-way contract they will have to go through waivers for a period of 24 hours. If a player is being sent down from the VHL and is claimed, they will be assigned to that team's VHL roster, and will have to clear waivers again if they are to be sent to the VHLM." Axelberry has 199 tpe Calgary claims Axelberry on waivers @Will

Good job, boys. Pretty solid off-season, considering all the shit with the update scale.. Everyone gets on your asses when you fall behind on the off-season schedy - so think you bunch deserve a couple atta boys for nailing it this time around. Good work @Will.. @JardyB10 and @Higgins keep mailin' it in fellas.

Unassisted beats up Rudolph Schmeckeldorf at 4:02 of 3rd period @Corco Wretchers gonna

YAA!! Goaltending award! This is funny to me in this one way: at the beginning of the season, Kendrick didn't want to split the season with me 50/50, because he wanted to win awards. So, I get traded, and I win that award instead. Sorry, Kenny. King should definitely have played a lot better than he did and I don't know why he had under .900. In any case, it's going to be a great rivalry between King and Ironside in the VHL. Coming out of the same draft we'll be playing against each other for our whole careers. I thought it was cool you were in Calgary at first, because it would be a conference goalie battle.....but that's not the case anymore. Good luck in Cologne.

New Update Scale Now in Effect Hello all, I've been busy last night/today getting everyone depreciated and moved over to the new update scale and I'm happy to report that the rest of the off-season will be spent gaining TPE instead of losing it. Just to be clear, every active players attributes were converted to conform with the new update scale according to how much TPE you had applied to each attribute (including any decimals you had on attributes). Keep in mind there's no change until 85+, so many of you are largely unaffected. I processed any updates that added to attributes 85+, so all new updates posted should now follow the new scale: 40 -> 70 ---- 1 TPE per point* 70 -> 80 ---- 2 TPE per point 80 -> 85 ---- 3 TPE per point 85 -> 90 ---- 4 TPE per point 90 -> 95 ---- 5 TPE per point 95 -> 99 ---- 6 TPE per point *Note for goalies: 35 -> 70 --- 1 per point TPE Re-Rolls As promised in the original announcement, we're giving everyone the opportunity to completely re-roll their TPE in light of these update scale changes. A TPE re-roll means that you can totally re-distribute your TPE in any way that you want. The re-rolls must be done prior to the start of S54. The instructions for this are slightly different depending on how old you are so please read carefully: If you are an S47, S48, or S49 player....... You have been depreciated at least once before, therefore the TPE total listed on your player page is not accurate. To get your actual number you need to do two things: 1. Find your name on this list (goalies at the bottom) and your corresponding TPA (Total Points Applied). This number represents the actual amount of TPE you have applied to your attributes post-depreciation. 2. Add any banked TPE you have to that number. That total is the amount of TPE you can re-distribute with your re-roll. You can claim your re-roll by posting the following template in your update thread: If you are from any other season....... You can simply use the TPE number on your player page. Note that any banked TPE you have IS included in the total number on your player page. Post the following template in your update thread to claim your re-roll:

You had to have known this was coming. The Las Vegas Aces play their first ever home game at the brand new T-Mobile Arena tonight against the Saskatoon Wild. It is the first ever meaningful hockey game played at the venue and they are pulling out all the stops. The first game festivities begin at 8pm, 2 hours before the puck drops. There will be fireworks outside the arena with live pole dancers putting on a show. Once the outdoor festivities end, fans will move inside where they will be greeted by greeters that work for Cocex Industries who will be handing out a gift to every fan in attendance. Once you get to your seat after grabbing a $12 hot dog, $18 beer and visit the cocex booth for more of what they gifted you ($240) You will sit down and enjoy partly free wifi (free for 2 minutes then its $25) After all that you will enjoy the Ice Aces skate onto the ice and perform a sensual dance ruitine that was picked out by team Owner, GM and Head Coach Robbie Zimmers. If that does not get your heart going, Robbie Zimmers has hired Prestige World Wide artist Huff 'N DoBack to perform Por Ti Volare The national anthem will be performed by Britney Spears...because why fucking not Enjoy the opening night festivities, oh and enjoy the slaughter @Smarch @Advantage @Kyle @punkhippie @Frank @Tyler @Ahma @HFD @BOOM @Rowe89 @Daniel @Seth

ROOKIE CONTRACT HAS TWO WAYZ TWO WAYZ DONT GO THRU WAIVERS VON AXELBERRY STAYS IN VEGAS VEGAS WINS CUP THE END

I'm keeping my claim still worth it imo

7.2 – Sending Down A Player When sending a player down who has over 175 TPE and does not have a two-way contract they will have to go through waivers for a period of 24 hours. If a player is being sent down from the VHL and is claimed, they will be assigned to that team's VHL roster, and will have to clear waivers again if they are to be sent to the VHLM.

Wait aren't rookie contracts automatically two-way?

maybe, i dont see that part in the rules

it is if you squint and look closely

Oh, didnt see this, sure why not

That's my boys right there making me proud.

For another year the leadership core of the New York Americans will remain the same. This group has lead up through rebuild, and two back to back Continental Cups. I can't say enough about the combined success of this team and how much this core has had a pivotal impact in that. I'd also like to take a second and wish well wishes the lone member we lose this season. @gregreg Best wishes with your future players sir, and happy to have won a Cup with you! I'd also like to give a warm welcome to the two newest members to this bus.... @JardyB10 and @Beketov Looking forward to a fun season with Jardy for the first time in my VHL career, as well as giving Holik a chance at finally winning a damn Cup already. Without further adieu....

Render needs some topaz or sweet lighting to bring it out and the text choice isn't my favorite but as a whole it looks good all together.

the sig is def. interesting. I like the bg work, could be sharper imo but the style of it is great. Beyond that, I think there's room to improvement. The render needs a little bit more ''pop'' imo. The main text (rowe) could be different as well. The light is decent is fits in the scene. gg nonetheless
