My most favorite project to work on was Trade Histories, when I did that around S46 ish. I vividly remember watching the flyers on the TV and on my laptop going through each trade in the processed transactions in order to get every trade ever. Through Arty he showed me the old website(Tapatalk), so I was able to get those trades as well. It was a major resource that was lacking, and I dont know any other sim league that has all of their trades tracked. That being said there are probably a couple dozens that I dont have, either through them only showing up in draft threads that I couldnt find, or them getting deleted idk. But having almost all of them, hundreds of trades over a decade + of the league is a good resource to have. Being able to go back and see the trade and click on the actual thread too. Its something that will be even more important as we start to get 12,13,14 years ahead of the original start date.
The thing I am most proud of is recovering the S2 stats. S1 stats I recovered too but that was through the wayback machine so it was easy to copy and paste the player stats. With S2, I had to go into each Play by Player, find the box score, and turn it into something I could use to recover those player stats. It was a lot of hard work and tedious work going through 100+ play by plays, but in the end it was worth it. It showed players like Karpotsov in a better light, Jay McDonald, Ron Mexico's early seasons, and the list can go on and on. From that I also recovered the S1-S4 playoff player stats as well, which is also important as well.
If I had to do something differently is in trade histories I would have asked someone if I could see the official trade section in the SHL GM subforum so I didnt have to comb through the processed transactions, that had thousands of signings. It would have saved me hours of time.

Oh god, I dont know. 400 mil was a grind, specifically because I didnt write that much media. Having a podcast helps because its a 1 mil in profit each week. The big thing is jobs where I get like 28 mil from all the different jobs I have (Commish, PT grader, head historian, and then former jobs like Mentor, SHL GM). it will probably be reached, but maybe by carpy? I thought he was going to catch up on me soon

What are your best memories from GMing Manhattan?
Why do you love the J?
I am
My best memory is of course winning the challenge cup. Thats the my favorite moment of the site, its great to win with good friends that have been grinding to win. Winning in the last season of STHS was memorable as well. I am happy that I was able to get my team a cup because its hard to win a cup. It was a team effort, everyone pitching in, getting the players in free agency, getting a great locker room, and winning it with friends. Getting wuma his first cup on the site which was 3 years in the making. Getting Symmetrik his 2nd cup. Calling up Z0rem that season and him getting his first cup as his first taste in SHL as well. And then a lot of the old guys that won their first cup, hewasajazzman, gooner, crawfling, finley, and everyone else.
I love the J in a way that its a developmental league. I gmed there, I know how much the GMs want to win. I wanted to win it all because its great to win with the team you created. But at the end of the day everyone is suppose to have fun there, so if winning is being prioritized over fun there then its not worth it.
probably higher than you. I know in Jcink there are people with way more because you had someone like Fitted that just upreps someoen everyday or whatever

Write a lot of media, be lucky enough that you hit on the casino a couple of times. Have some jobs help too. I feel like the first 7 seasons of me being in the SHL almost all the money came from media, the last however many seasons I am at probably coming from the jobs I have/had

Do you remember when I was richer than you and are you afraid that might happen again?
all on the trading cards I hope. Gotta collect them all.
I do remember and I am surprised how much higher than you are right now. I know it will happen again. Your graphics are top tier and you just produced so much that you will catch up. Just like wasty, when you are a graphics god then its easy and fun to earn money. As well as supply the SHL sick sigs.

Juni Panda will crush everyone, so he is getting back to the old style of hockey of just hitting everything that moves. Anyone that should be in the HOF but not in the HOF..... thats an interesting one. Probably Danny "bananas" Foster. if Turd Ferguson is in it then Foster 100% should be in it. Not through points or anything like that, but through straight hitting and pims.

TRUE, I was always recycling co-hosts(King, Evan, you), until Rich hit me up one day and we did it. Now we are 50+ weeks in and still going strong. Still the best podcast around right now
