We all hover around the same area TPE-wise, but some of our players are better in the sim than others. But apparently, a player's performance in the sim doesn't matter to GMs. This is the the first time this concept has been pushed to me since I joined the site. And quite honestly, it's mind blowing. I'm all about comradery in the LRs, but this is a player Sim league...and you would think, performance of said player in the sim league matters. It does not. Mind blowing.

A players performance in their SMJHL rookie season tells very little of his eventual perfomance in the SHL. Years of experience have shown that the best way to create a good team in the SHL is to have a group of good earning, active people and the way to get that is to have a great locker room.

I'm open to declare positional needs a little better, but as other people have stated before, a correction in one way can lead to a bigger deficit the other, so we have to be careful with that.

When you first created your account, you got a PM by me, inviting you to a discord server with all the mentors. We would've been happy to answer any questions before you created your player. Of course, it's understandable if such questions didn't even cross your mind at that point.

If you have ideas on how to improve the way we contact and interact with new players, I'm always happy to hear it. Send me a dm on site or through discord.

Boom. Quote this shit and pin it somewhere in the Rookie Guide. And make sure we have something that alludes to the facts:

1. Recreates will always come first, regardless of the circumstances or length of time they were inactive

2. Being a cool person to hang with in the LR matters more than how your player build performs in the sim.
