I'm kind of broke and need money so uh ask me whatever questions you would like .-.

Code:
How do you feel about Team World's WJC chances now that you and so many other S50/S51 players have graduated?

Well to my knowledge Team World has never really been that good and I don't pay too much attention to the international games/rosters so I don't really know who World can field but from just looking at the roster from last season off the top of my head I can see World loses 3 capped d-men and a forward which I think is really going to hurt as Borro isn't gonna get the support he might need. Overall I feel you guys could have an ok shot at a bronze medal if Borro goes on a hot streak but with the loss of d-men and that Team World doesn't really get that many players, I don't think Team World can be expected to achieve anything higher than a bronze but hey a bronze is still a medal and with the gms this time around, you never know.

Hi Grum

What are your thoughts on how Buffalo ended this season?

What does Buffalo have to do to improve their chances next season?

Where do you see yourself in the next five seasons? Do you think you'll have any individual awards by then? Do you still see yourself as being a top earner in five seasons?

Do you still keep in touch with your SMJHL team? If so what are your thoughts on their season?

Hiiii Zombie

1) I think we did really this season, we placed 4th in the league and 3rd in the east with some great seasons across the board. Unfortunately of course we got pitted up against Hamilton were the sim just fucked us over on the offense but they are the champs this season so I guess that isn't so bad.

2) I think the main thing would be to have a good duo of goalies. We have evok of course who will be amazing this season (ROTY I'm calling it) but besides her I'm not sure who our back up is (I've heard grok is going to retire? if not then we could be good. Edit: oh yeah he has retired sadly Edit 2: FUCK YEAH ONE MORE SEASON and if you read this, thank you Grok) Besides that I think we are set for a chance at the cup if all of us keep on improving and don't get fucked by the sim.

3) hmm lets see in 5 seasons I should have around mid to high 1600 tpe if I earn at the rate that I am (which I fully intend to) and I believe by that time Ferda and I will be 1st pair, if not I'll be second pair depending on Vandy's earning in the next 5 seasons or if we pick someone up of course. By then I think I should be a pretty good player, not an all star caliber player but just on the cusp of it. That being said to lead into your next question, I dont think I'll have any individual awards by then. Like I think I'll just be on the cusp of being an all star caliber player by that point and I'm more of a defensive d-man so I dont think my numbers will really catch anyones eye (maybe a biscuit tho?) Then... I kind of answered this earlier but yes, I do intend on being a top earner in 5 seasons from now. The plan is to get to high 1900 to 2000 if that's possible so until then I fully intend on being a top earner.

4) Unfortunately I dont really keep in touch with the Anaheim Outlaws. That's fully on me however, I was never all too active in the LR so I dont really have that much connection with the people there. I'll pop my head in there every once in a while and I'll play games like Skribble, Minecraft or Jack Box with them though. Even though I dont, I'll still answer this second part hehe. I was really impressed with how Anaheim did this season as I believe they lost 2 capped d-men and 3 forwards (might be wrong with that one) yet still were able to put up a 27 win season and beat Anchorage in r1 of playoffs. Depending on who is getting called up, I feel they could have a pretty good shot at the cup next season.

Code:
What does your perfect sunday look like?

I think this really depends on how I'm feeling. Like sometimes my perfect sunday would be to have a day that I spend almost the whole day playing video games and chatting with my friends whether that be online or in person while also having some time to myself to be able to relax and rest. Then other times (especially during the school year) I think the perfect Sunday for me would be to have a day all by myself. A day where I don't really use social media or interact with anyone and can just relax in peace, maybe read a book or even go fishing.

Code:
What did you think of your first season in buffalo?

What's your opinion on the FHM6 engine?

Is there anything you'd have done different on your player, knowing what you know now?

1) Performance wise I did shit lol but then again I knew going into this season with the change to FHM that my player was going to be this bad, especially playing behind some amazing players so I'm fine with it. Locker room and experience wise though I really enjoyed my first season in Buffalo. Finally having some time on the ice with the rest of the team I feel brought me closer to you guys as I got to connect with the team with how we were doing as a team.

2) I really like FHM 6. I think having an engine that supports high TPE numbers is really nice as I know from experience how frustrating it is when you are being greatly outperformed by someone who has like half your TPE. I also think it brings this league a bit closer to realism with all the tactics that can be employed along with like I said having some more importance on TPE which will have teams performing roughly where they should, and having a diverse set of (hopefully) viable builds. There are just a few things I dont like about it though like how teams score such high numbers and that heat plays such a huge role it seems but overall I feel going forward FHM is a great sim engine for the SHL

3) No not really. Making my player all that time a go I was planning on a defensive d-man playmaker type of build which is pretty much what Nicholas Owens has became so I'm happy with where my player is at at the moment. I do kind of wish maybe I had been more offensive back in STHS cause being outperformed heavily by players like half my tpe was really disheartening in the J (also not really having much for defensive stats to look at really contributed to that) but I still got a long career ahead of me if I want to switch it up and now that I am in the SHL and we are using FHM I feel being more defensive will be/feel a lot more rewarding.

Code:
If you're broke, does that mean I have a chance to close the TPE gap to you & soulja?

I mean.... how fast are your graders? I don't think me being broke at the moment will really affect anything lol and soulja certainly isn't going to be broke or looks to be slowing down anytime soon soooo. Also I hear I'm getting paid a pretty good amount soon for being Casino Head so bye bye being broke!

Code:
Hi I have a couple of questions for you to give you money .-.

oh my lord and savior! .-.

Code:
Why did you kill Clippy?

uh I didnt mean to. It was a complete accident on my part and I feel extreme regret over it. I know clippy was just trying to help me become a much better player but like I said it was a complete accident on my part as that was not my intention. R.I.P Clippy 2020-2020

Code:
Why do you do .-. so much?

Thats a good question... cause I dont really have an answer to it lol. I started doing .-. so much like a year a go or so cause I think my girlfriend used it once in a text and I mocked her by doing it in a ton of my messages but then it just became a weird habit to the point where like 60% of the messages I send have .-. in it. I also think it like weirdly became a part of my identity online to the point where people will just reply with .-. when I send a message and get asked questions like this to the point where it would be kind of weird if I stop so I just kept doing it .-.

Code:
Dogs or cats?

Definitely cats. Theres nothing wrong with dogs and there are a lot of dogs out there I find extremely cute but I've always been more of a cat guy. I also have an allergy to dog saliva which I think plays a bit in my preference as I've grown up around cats due to it.

Code:
Do you pee in the shower?

Uh yeah? I mean if I'm tired and it's my shower then yeah I'll probably pee but if it's someone else's then I'll probably just hop out of the shower and take a piss in the toilet.

Code:
How is Japan?

Japan is how. uh idk how to answer this lol. I mean the Japan LR is pretty dead, like outside of when it's IIHF time theres like maybe 20 messages total until the next tourney which is mostly just Luffy screaming about something stupid.

Code:
What is your favorite video game?

This is kind of hard to answer. All time wise I think I would have to say Mario Kart as that's a game I played a shit ton growing up with my cousins and friends. It's just a game where I can sit down and play for hours on end if I'm playing with friends or family. Right now though I really enjoy playing Valorant/

Code:
What NHL team do you support? Who's your favorite player on said team?

Oddly enough I actually dont follow the NHL or hockey at all. I've watched some Oiler games cause Luffy made me when we were voice calling so if I had to choose probably them and on that team I really only know McDavid so I'll just go with him as being my favorite Oiler.

Code:
What other sports do you like? What teams do you support from said sport?

Not so much anymore as I dont really have the interest or time to follow them but I use to be really big on basketball and football growing up. For basketball, I've always been a Miami Heat fan as I was a huge fan of D-Wade and as for football I've always been a Detroit Lions fan as Calvin Johnson is my favorite player of all time. I'm more of a fan of players rather than teams though.

Code:
What is your favorite color?

Black. Black just goes with everything, and can look sick on it's own.

Code:
What is your favorite branding in the SHL? What about the SMJHL?

Probably the Edmonton Blizzard. The logo that Karey made is extremely well done and it looks absolutely amazing. They dont have a slogan or anything though to my knowledge so uh.
As for the J, I would have to go with the Maine Timber the Anaheim Outlaws. I'm kind of biased but we have outlungus

and you cant really compete with that

Code:
How did you like your first season in FHM? Did your player play like you wanted him to? What do you plan on changing on your build?

I really enjoyed it, FHM is a good sim engine going forward but I also didnt play like any attention to the games so like uhhhhhhhhhh. But also getting to customize my player better was really nice and also it was the season I got called up which was really fun. Also as casino head it was chaotic but fun to figure stuff out before we got good test simming going. Um I dont really know cause like I said I didnt pay attention to the games but looking at the numbers it seems like he did. I was trying to make a defensive playmaker and looking at my assist and DGR, I think my player plays like how I envisioned him to. Then finally, no I dont think I will be changing much on my build. I still want to be the defensive playmaker I set out to be.

Code:
Who's your favorite GM between WBF and Tomen?

Tomen 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% Tomen is so much nicer to me and is always helping people out while WBF just bitches about his stupid problems that aren't even much of problems. Like he fucking complained to us all about him simping and going out in the rain or some shit a few days ago.

Code:
Opinions on recently acquired Matt Kholin?

Player wise I think this is an excellent acquirement. I think right now we are in a win now or at least in the next season or 2 and being able to get a high tpe forward whos active will be huge. User wise I just dont get why .-. I'm joking of course, Kal has fit perfectly in our LR and is just generally one of the best users on this site. He also is a fucking CAT PHOTOGRAPHER WHICH IS AMAZING.

Code:
Why did you choose Michigan

I dont think I chose Michigan, Michigan chose me. Ok no but seriously it comes down to a few things. MU was the best school to accept me and it has a good program to become an architect so it just made sense .-. I also just really love the state of Michigan as it's cold (I fucking hate how hot it gets in the Summer in Kansas), has some beautiful nature, and is home to my favorite NFL team in the Detroit Lions.

Code:
To back off of Zoone’s question, if you’re broke does that mean I can catch up to you, Soulja, and zoone?

Zoone, definetly. Soulja and I... no way. Like I said in my answer to Zoone's question, me being broke isn't going to really affect anything cause I dont plan on being broke. I also have some pay days up ahead and with school being over, I have somewhat of a drive to actually write media now. But yeah.... you can definetly catch Zoone no problem, but no chance I drop that low in tpe to the point where you'll catch me.

Code:
why are you the way you are

I thought you said you were too lazy to ask me a question you bitch ass. Uh I dont know? Why are you the way you are?
I think a lot of it has to do with spending so much time with you sadly.
If you want a serious answer though... well it all begins 19 years ago in the state of New Jersey where I was born......

Code:
Hi Grum,

Hiiiii Fish

Code:
As one of the nicer, more polite people on the site, does that site and it’s vitriol ever get you down?

Ngl I had to look up what vitriol meant lol. That's nice of you to say I'm one of the nicer, more polite people though Heart

I could definitely say the same for you. To get back on track though, no it has never really bothered me. I don't really take anything said on here seriously and even if I do, I just shake it off after a while. I also just try my best to avoid conflict with others and drama in general (at least get involved in it, I'm into reading that spicey site drama as much as anyone else)

Code:
I thank Luffy every day for helping bring you to the site, are you glad to have ended up on the same team as him?

oh no you should never thank Luffy, it'll stroke his ego too much.
For sure though, I think having someone who I knew pretty well on the same team as me really helped me get more involved with the LR and just having a good friend there is nice as I can openly talk about whatever with him.

Code:
Who is your favourite BUF player?

hmmm I knew this was going to be asked but I didn't think you would lol. Uh before I answer, I just want to say that I love all of you on Buffalo but player wise I think I would have to go with Viktor Marius. Marius was a player I looked up to when I had first created, back when I didn't know any of you. Marius was just the top player in Buffalo for a very long time and to this day still produces at a high level. Marius also reached 2000 tpe which is something I want to achieve, overall I think Marius is my role model SHL player wise. idk if that's how you wanted me to answer that but I didnt really wanna answer who my favorite BUF user was : P

Code:
What do you think of Buffalo’s chances in the next couple of seasons?

I think we have an amazing chance at a cup in the next couple of seasons. We of course have quite a few players who are going or going to go into regression very soon but I feel these next 2-3 seasons, as long as the team is active we will have a great shot at the cup. Even after that, we have some great prospects coming up and we all know how good of drafter Tomen our gms are so I feel we will be a top contender for sure for a long time but will peak in the next 2-3 seasons.

Code:
Do you plan on staying with Buffalo forever?

As long as the LR stays like it is now, I definitely see myself as a career Buffalo player. I do think it would be cool to test out FA once in my career whether that be with this player or my next (if I make one )so maybe I'll move once for like a season when my player is pretty much useless but even still, I kind of feel like that wont happen and I'll just stay here for my whole career.

Code:
Team success or individual awards?

Team success for sure. I've never really cared for individual awards or success and with how much I love all of BUF I think achieving high team success would give me a lot more happiness than getting a trophy cause my player was good for a season. That's not to say I dont wanna win any individual awards though.

Code:
With one season of FHM in the books, how do you think the Casino did? Will this season’s results cause you to change how you approach the casino in upcoming seasons?

I think we did bad lol at least money wise. Not really though, especially with no experience on the matter and how we got the odds we did, I think the casino did a pretty good job seeing as everyone else was for the most part betting kind of blind. I think we will definitely have to re do our methods that we use to get the casino odds in the upcoming seasons of FHM going forward but like I said, I think we did a good job of it with what we knew and with having more knowledge, we can hopefully get closer to the season result next time around.

Code:
Do you ever see yourself becoming a GM? Or a Co?

I've played with the idea in my head and I think having the chance to draft players and get to know them the way a GM does is something I am extremely interested in but it's not something I am looking to pursue in the near future. One of the reasons is I kind of would rather be a SHL GM and I dont plan on leaving Buffalo/ I dont think Tomen or WBF will be stepping down soon and even then I think there are much more people qualified for the job rather than me so I doubt I would get the spot regardless. Another being that I never want to see the SHL as a job. Of course I have a job on the site being with the casino but I've always seen that as something I am doing for the fun of it as I enjoy everything that comes with being the head of casino whether that's getting odds or writing media. It's also a job that is not like mandatory in the running of the league. However having a GM job, I feel would make me think of the SHL too much of a job with how involved a GM has to be. I also just dont have the time to at the moment and in the near future to really do a good enough job that I would be happy with to become a GM. So really to summarize, it's something I've thought of and I think I would be done to do sometime in my time here as I feel like I would enjoy it but it is not something I am really pursuing or aiming to do.

Code:
What’s your favourite part about the site? Least favourite?

Definitely the media and or the graphics. Seeing what people create on this site is amazing to see and as someone who has written media, getting feedback from others feels amazing. It's also where I spend the bulk of my time on the site as there are some nights where I will spend hours just scrolling through different media pieces or checking out what people create graphics wise. I don't really have a least favorite to be completely honest. I guess sometimes I feel the site gets too toxic but I generally will avoid or ignore it anyways. Besides that though maybe how it can be kind of hard to find what you are looking for if you don't already know where it is but I've navigated this site enough to find what I need 90% of the time after a few minutes and even then I usually will just ask in BUF LR if I can't.

Code:
What kind of expectations does a 1OA draft bring and also do you agree with all that stuff wannabefin said about those orphans?

hmmm well to be honest I dont really think about being drafted 1OA so I dont really like think of the expectations of being a 1OA. Like I came to this site wanting to be a top earner and before the draft I was so I dont really feel any pressure of having to own up to being a 1OA pick. Also when I joined Buffalo, they immediately told me that all their past 1OA picks either went away or busted so theres not really a standard there lol. I can say though that being drafted 2OA in the SMJHL kind of hurt and I wanted to prove everyone (well mostly just Halifax) wrong that I should have been 1OA but that's just the J so I stopped caring really. As for the second question, WBF told me you were trolling and he never said anything about orphans but I dont really trust him so FUCK WBF FOR WHAT HE SAID AS I DONT AGREE WITH THAT STUFF.

Zombiewolf · 05-10-2020, 12:57 AM

Hi Grum

What are your thoughts on how Buffalo ended this season?

What does Buffalo have to do to improve their chances next season?

Where do you see yourself in the next five seasons? Do you think you'll have any individual awards by then? Do you still see yourself as being a top earner in five seasons?

Do you still keep in touch with your SMJHL team? If so what are your thoughts on their season?

Thank you Brandon, Fish, GeckoeyGecko, Karey, Kit, takethehorizon, and Ragnar for the sigs!
