Thunder Bay: An old metal desk, covered in dust, sits in the middle of a run down room. One of the legs have been replaced with a pool cue. The drawers on the desk are stuck shut: stubbornly welded by years of rust and neglect. On the desk sits an old dell inspiron 530 PC, a first generation flat screen monitor, and a single hockey puck. The set up is just like @yosh promised. @CloudRobot told me they had nicer desks and better offices, but this feels right!
This is home. As the Newest Co-GM for the Thunder Bay Walleye, I would like to open up to anyone and everyone who has any questions!! 01-28-2025, 07:33 PMkahri Wrote: what are you plans with the Walleye? Can you give me a week by week breakdown as to what you will do? what are your goals? wow @kahri Thank you for these questions. You 100% know what GO means, am I right? For starters, my first week is going to be spent talking to all of our current players and making sure I understand what they want to accomplish in the JR league. @yosh and @CloudRobot have done a great job with the team, and my goal is to continue this! Some players just want to go right to the SHL, some want to get personal records, some want to win it all. I'm down with that, but I want to make sure the players who we are managing are getting what they want out of the team. After contacting the players directly, I plan on scouting with our amazing scouts to try and figure out which new players will be great fits for our current players, so we can fill the needs hopefully for team success and individual success. Lastly, to take a page out of @luke 's book, I am going to try and encourage our locker-room activity by promoting great media and giving the team a chance to do great media. Active locker-rooms are the most fun, and I am hopeful that we can get some more activity in Thunder Bay! Also, I guess I gotta figure out how lines work again. Thanks for the question! 01-28-2025, 08:26 PMluke Wrote: What are you most excited for as a new co-gm I am excited to have a chance to really shape a team. The Jr league is like a blink of the eye compared to the SHL; if I advise us poorly, we are 2 seasons away from turning it around! if I do well, we only can enjoy those fruits for maybe 2 seasons! Hopefully I can help get the Walleye some wins and grow some players for the SHL! I am happy about the CW pass, but now that I have to do the work as a co-gm; I think the CW stuff is easier for sure. I don't need the money, but what I am going to need is graphics so I suppose I'll have to put out some request to get some graphics and pay out some cash. 01-29-2025, 06:33 PMCloudRobot Wrote: I'm just so glad my replacement is Troy. Just thinking of the chaos he will create in gm-chat makes me giggle. I shall drive everyone crazy as soon as I get my bearings, so they better hope I never figure stuff out. 01-29-2025, 06:34 PMCloudRobot Wrote: So I guess my question for Troy is what chaos will you be creating in gm-chat and how do you plan to annoy kahri? I don't want to share too much, but I will say last time I tried to pull off a joke in the GM server, I got a message from someone in the head office who was not pleased about it (until they found out it was a joke). @kahri is very easy to annoy and I won't disclose more at this time. @JamesT tagged for clarity. 01-30-2025, 02:08 AMMikeLiut Wrote: hey, what happened to Cloud_Robot? I love that guy Cloud has decided to lower his role in the league, which has left a huge void. I am doing my best to fill this void. I will not be doing as good of a job as him. 01-30-2025, 02:09 AMMikeLiut Wrote: Question for Troy: Thunder Bay, formally Regina, picked me up in the S74 season as a free agent. To be fully honest, I wanted to go to the Raptors, where I have a history. However, they did not have the space for me at the time. Regina welcomed me with open arms, and I truly loved the Elk. As I moved to the SHL, i've tried to stay in touch, but when Cloudy said he was stepping down, I thought I might be a good replacement. That may not be true in the end, but for now I'm happy with the choice, it all depends on how many trades I can get done. 01-30-2025, 08:31 AMUrq660 Wrote: Who would win in a fight, 50 Walleye or 1 Elk? If the fight is in the water, the Walleye will win, hands down. If the fight is on land, I think the Elk is getting the easy W. if the fight is in space, however, both animals would die since they can't breath with a lack of water and air.

So I guess my question for Troy is what chaos will you be creating in gm-chat and how do you plan to annoy kahri?
