DO IT, if you take Vegas, I will make a second player (because Rudi Ying is my only right now) and sign with Vegas again and TPE whore because I need to continue the Vegas legacy

That was prior to him being a GM, I just hate people sticking up for people who obviously have gone inactive and don't seem to be interested in changing that notion. Yes we welcome everyone with open arms but if they have a history of bailing why are they given the driver seat to something we obviously know is at the leagues worry. In fact he got offended when I called him inactive. I like the guy and respect him, but you also gotta know when to just come on and post that you shouldn't be the GM.

How did I not get tagged in this?

two things.

 

One, @Beaviss was kind enough to take me on as a Co-gm of the lynx, and I would definitely be interested in throwing my hat in the ring for a VHLM GM. position  One reason I think The VHLM has fallen a little flat, is that you have to be interested in developing players rather than building a team.  Honestly, when playing EHM, I almost exclusively play the OHL because I love seeing where my players end up 10 years down the road and knowing I had a part in that.   I know the league is hesitant to hire "noobs" but I hope my activity level these past months has been a testament to my drive for this league, and reflects well on me when you guys decide to choose new GMs.

 

My second point is two fold.

 

I think The league should give a small portion of power to the GM's in the way that GM's can offer their team additional opportunities to earn TPE. And I think the TPE cap should be RAISED for the VHLM.

 

Hear me out.  

 

We're all about building a community and building teams. but what team building activities do we have besides locker rooms? If we gave GM's the ability to offer their teams certain tasks, or even just something like an activity check for an additional 1 or 2 tpe a week, I think you will see a significant increase in active players, even if its just for this small bump.

 

In regards to the VHLM TPE cap, I think that if the VHLM is to be used as a developmental league, It should offer increased opportunities for development.  as of now, the only advantage to playing in the VHLM is play time, while that is enough for some, I will admit, it still took a decent while through the season before my player actually became interesting to me. And that took doing the maximum TPE every single week plus a donation.  If you think that is gonna draw a majority of people, i'm sorry you're just lying to yourself. We need to make the league easier to break into.  I can tell you even I still feel like an outsider to a point as most of the members i see here, are long time members.  The most exciting thing is seeing your player advance and get better noticeably, so why not make that a focal point for the first two years? Rapid development will hook users and increase the amount of people who stick around. What is the average of people who bail early on players? something like 36TPE? 

 

Yes, this will increase the TPE players have when they enter the league and records will eventually fall and all that.  But don't be so afraid of losing the past that you lose the future.  Records are made to be broken, and records being broken is Exciting as fuck.  Name me one historically significant thing that happened this season?  

 

I'll wait. 

 

I can elaborate on this more but I've pretty much written a Media spot here.

 

 

 

Robbie tried this in Vegas by trying to create a casino in the LR where the rewards were him doing our point tasks for us. Doesn't increase my TPE cap, but just reduces effort on my part since I don't have to do it myself. Now maybe if fucking @BluObieZ donated $20 for us so it's uncapped TPE for us that would have worked!!!!!! AM I RIGHT WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT THEN.

This x1000 also player updates need to happen more then once a month in the VHLM where TPE updates mean the most from player to player we see the least amount of updates.

SOMEBODY GETS IT!!! IT'S ALSO ABOUT BREAKING INTO THE VHL TOO NOT JUST THE VHLM. I THINK I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I'M FINDING SOME SUCCESS IN THE VHLM RIGHT OFF THE BAT... JUST NEED A FEW MORE @KGR STYLE RETIRE AND RECREATES TO FINE TUNE THE PROCESS LOL

 

@Strtlght for the second part

RADICAL IDEA, sorry if I didn't tag you @Banackock @Beaviss @Spade18 @OTHER PEOPLE THAT CARE

 

Maybe it's time a new league is created... Hey ten years ago new leagues were popping up every other week.

Disagree, that'll just cause derision, and we'll end up with two half leagues and all will have been for naught

I'd love to bring in the "Media Week" idea that SBA has more often. Make it worth double if you stay on the weekly topic. This season they had an All-Star Week Point Task located here:

It's a nice little idea to give members something fun to write about, while getting bonus TPE. I'd say I'd like to have one during the season and one during the off-season. Fuck inflation, we need member activity.
