Tell us about some of the most enjoyable moments you have had on this site. (*Tag anyone relevant to the topic)
I've had a lot of great moments on this site, but the one that still always stands out to me is my first cup win early in my GMing career in New England. The late season and post-season had some down moments: our inactive goalie appearing to make a single post and retire on us just before the end of the season, so suddenly we went from "we're a really strong team with a good chance of winning" to "we have to win now, next season is going to be a rebuild"; some drama at the beginning of the final round that led to us being down in the series. But we won four in a row to win the cup. I remember my Co-GM Storm and I messaging each other all day after the morning sim freaking out because the rest of the team wouldn't know until the PBP was posted. And the PBP itself was salty AF, our team ended up basically abandoning part way through. But in the end, we won, and that kicked off the real beginning of SHL team bonding off-site for me, playing online and listening to music together, making fun of each other but also really enjoying everyone's company over skype. That S23 team was amazing and while I've been closer to people I've played with since (@lil, @Jenny, @bilbo ) I don't think the team as a whole has ever been as cohesive. I just re-read the greatest team awards post of all time and now I'm feeling all emotional. Great memories of @storm, @Ace, @fever95 , @Mac, @Whikadoodle, @TheNextGreatOne, @artermis, @Underoath10 and I still miss some of the folks we had around then including @Anchorage42, @Bowhuntr11, @BucKo_916. To the probably half-dozen other people that deserve to be on this list, sorry, I didn't mean to leave you out. |
