Contrary to popular belief, I hate everyone equally.

I’m at over 10 gap in the SMJHL and that was just me doing it on my own because I wanted to score more. So they’re could be an amount like that of natural deciders. I’m curious to check the stats though, I’d also be curious if 15 was cherry picked as a stat. Perhaps if it was 14 it would be different, and is their a lot of difference between 15 and 10 point gap? I’m brand new and I heard from day 1 from everyone to go to at least a 10 point gap between them. I guess what I’m saying in is there is not a lot of grey being given, just black and white and not a lot of bridges look like their being built. That will drive people off.

If I wasn't a GM it's likely I would have gone inactive.

I think 14 adds like 4 more people because of the gap between 99 and 85.

We’re still ok but we need to make some changes right now on the community side of things.. the problem is we have had some league issues in certain areas before the SIM problems arised which were covered up due to strong activity... and are now being exposed as the site slows.
I know I came off strong before the Christmas break to some when I sounded the alarms but I saw this coming and kind of feel like there’s a plan that can bridge the gap between now and the birth of SHL FHM which hopefully resparks the flame that’s burned so strongly for so long on this site.

Kinda funny that Lokitonov and Pepperoni are both pass-first players, so the league top-scorers of the last three seasons were all players who according to the current hysteria should be useless. If you look at this years top-5, you will find two passers, two shooters with a relatively small gap and only one exploit player who ironically is one of the less extreme examples on his team and is a high-TPE player who was already good way before this whole thing was discovered. Just from this years regular season stats there is just no proof to the claim that Hamilton successfully broke the sim, be it in terms of individual numbers or team success. Having a good playoff-campaign doesn't change that.

Sure, some regression players and their builds were reverted, but looking at Hamiltons roster right now it looks pretty bad and everybody is now doing it or going to do it. 20 between SC and PA is not enough. Weird call to let it happen. More urgency and power to fight against certain words than something that can potentially even destroy the league.
Im not sure if this is posted later, as im reading back, but the hammy builds WERE reverted, we only really have a few players with a gap and in almost every case its not that extreme of a gap. I dont know how the notion of "hammy is still using this exploit" is going around.
Yeah no, that's just bullshit. You guys are still using this, you just were stopped from doing it in the most extreme way by the quick rule-change that happened last off-season - which is why I think another one of those quick adjustments, like setting a max gap of 15 or 20, would be another helpful and not overly complicated fix to the problem while we look for grander solutions. But reverting the build changes last off-season also probably already prevented some of the worst possible outcomes and gave us a good competitive season with only a small asterisk, we should give some kudos and acknowledge that instead of just talking about how STHS is doomed and how HAM broke everything.
RE: SHL in a slump? - Grapehead - 01-08-2020
See my biggest issue with HAM and their response isn't how successful their plan was. It's the fact that even after bringing this to the league, after the whole offseason delay, and all the fighting, they STILL insisted on exploiting this issue however they could. Fuck that. They saw all the chaos it created, and thought "fuck it, I want that fake trophy so bad!"
Fucking losers!

In a forum like this, humor is a pretty big part of it all. There is no place for dark humor nowadays. Now SHL is a forum where you look at the sims and share cooking recipes while talking about the weather.
The worst thing is, there are a lot better places to do those things, so you don´t even talk about cooking recipes and the weather here that often. Fought so hard to create a friendly forum space, but you don´t even use it.

I hate it when people equate offensive language to dark humor. You can make dark jokes without marginalizing a whole group of people.

i think most of us agree that Hamilton are in the wrong here (which they are imo), and I think we all agree that this season, as well as next season, is just going to be a wash. if the Steelhawks win the cup, there’s going to be a lot of complaining. I’m looking forward to the FHM switch, besides the doubts I have about a possible update scale, because it means there won’t be a situation like this again. it brings more parity and player types.

That group feeling welcome and not targeted is worth more than whatever 'comedy' needs that shit to be funny.
