Season ended Feb 5th, playoff deadline released today is February 16th, so you are correct that it has not been 2 weeks. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A WEEK. So my main counter point is this: You once recently argued guys should play their games within first week or forfeit for playoffs. (See the AJ situation) You also once argued to BAN a guy if he is booted from a league for at least a year from all other leagues. Houly argument was about allowing a good A player in because he played his games AND the other option was to let a B player into A. My point is, even 3 years ago, you were LOW ON A PLAYERS. Currently, the camp of the "strict", no flexibility includes arguments from Seth. He is a strong advocate of booting & banning in the past. IF your league of choice is NOT mainly A, then you can re-supply with new C/B players that want "in" on the action, but based on all your previous arguments FOR GDL & Classic, the general theme usually was "A...A...A...A...A". Now, the final faulty leap in logic. IF you have a right arm & throw 100 mph, then I have a right arm also, and should then throw 100 mph. NO. There are other factors. TECMO had a LARGER pool of players, and a different game, different structure. Obviously, for them to run off 30 plus leagues means guys like doing the same league over & over & over & over & over, and they had enough of them available to force guidelines and create the atmosphere that IF you wanted into TECMO, these are the rules. It's longer success could have been based on many other factors. #1 to me, the most OBVIOUS, is FOOTBALL is 10,000 times more popular than hockey. PRE-SEASON FOOTBALL beats NHL Game 6 ratings between the Blackhawks & the Bruins!! Come on man. Face reality that while your point might be ONE of the factors, acting like it IS THE ANSWER is just foolish. Worse to me, is I feel that this argument started on the basis that might league is somehow detrimental to what you are trying to change. It's flawed logic, and has derailed the true, best ideas I've heard to help build league traffic by Depch, Raph & even some points by you. Seth has no good points. Ever. Sad.

Ah OK I hear the weird high pitched noise. Might be able to add a Low Pass Filter for around (guessing) 18kHz to get rid of it (if obs studio has that option..).

Some capture cards have a video delay. They'll need to add a sound delay (it's an option somewhere in OBS Studio, if that's what they're using to stream)

I did catch a bit of the stream (thanks Coach for the heads up on AIM), but sound was off. Missed the chair smashing, that would have been great to see.

I was digging through old forums and came across this post from the way back when.

I'm not mad and drink like once or twice a month. Appreciate your concern but you can go back to your Looney Toons programming without me. I call you out when you when think your constant complaining in a league chat doesn't ruin it for everyone. I've asked many guys, and you are a buzz kill. You've changed & that's why I keep calling you out. I know that I've watched Plabax try to steer conversations numerous times before. This one was obvious as he pretends to want opinions and then does his norm. Number of guys who left the site cause of me to date is zero, FYI. Skipped over that part of Raph's post cause it doesn't fit your narrative. I've had guys ask me before joining Plabax was joining cause they hate you. I've now had a few ask about Seth cause he complains so much. i thought Depch has given you numerous solid suggestions that don't sound too far off some of the aim chat groups I had with both of you during the last 2 GDL's. You want to just keep booting everyone but miss the math. There are not & will not likely be 16, much less 24 coaches that will fit into your rigid formula. I'd prefer to play in these type of leagues TOO. I'm the guy who always plays his ganes, plays exis & joins all the leagues I can, so faster pace & stricter guidelines help me. But, you ignore Depch solid points. You ignored them when I made them. Now you want to claim my league effects the progress Plabax made. That's lunacy at its finest. I make my own league & set rules & let guys IN you wouldn't, you don't join, but I'm hurting the site. And next time I've got 10 hours to try to search through this dumb forum, I'll try to find hokkee's post about you ruining the game. It's there. But aside from that, there is NO PROOF that lack of structure in leagues is what caused the games decline in members. It's your opinion & I just don't agree. And aside from you two pounding the same drum, I don't hear it elsewhere either. Does it help, NO! I get that. But you guys miss all the other relevant points. Which is part of your mental challenges. Again, everyone but you two see you two have obvious issues, for real.

I caught bits and pieces of the feed throughout the day. Fun to watch and congrats on the victory! However nothing beat the one guy raging and attempting to smash another guy with the chair.

Just taking a QUICK look at som vets who have "left" and I don't believe any of them have to do with lax league rules. Given that Uncle Seth does nothing other than complain and sits "hiding" all day, doesn't necessarily help matters either. AJ - tired of FPB and Plabax hokkee - erratic for the last 10 years...plays when he can, complains and disappears for work. He's never gone donnybrook - personal issues probob - work/life, he's back Sicarius Fulgur - not sure, but doubt he was upset about league times. Maybe? Never told me EA - No time for leagues Freydey - retired Zalex - retired with Freydey Carse - retired Vocally Caged - retired BoKnows - SNES player smozoma - retired, but around Wittgenstein - retired Mike_mac - around, but not active kgman - doesn't play online minpind - around, not active xdeathsbloodx - tired of Plabax kupuck - tired of Plabax eggink - too busy/no interest dickon - banned sebe - too busy swos - busy w/ life nahkahomo - tired of Plabax, too busy flasox - busy, lost interest LA Robbie - life too busy TomKabs - no Internet Houly - ?? Mav - banned/lost interest JRod - too busy/lost interest .,...

This is great! Exactly what we need, to fuse our brains together on such issues and make it better. Improve the marketing for a chance for online playing as well, I have no clue what the events are like, just that there is huge potential. I've been constantly talking about unifying the site. Making it more simpler and appealing for the guys who are 30/70 or 50/50 what they were even looking for when they google nhl94 or nhl online games. For me I would not even stumble upon nhl94online.com, but go to nhl94.com and from the quick look it doesn't seem very appealing and it's also a rule that if things are too many clicks away from getting your interest, people will just leave it. I would like to see leagues in nhl94.com as well directly. Make a ladder there, increase interactivity directly there. There should be a main button for leagues there (edit: I see there is online gaming button, which has league links under that, I even missed that first, lael, blitz link doesn't work though). Sure there are news, but people don't go in to wall of texts when they are unsure what they are looking for, it doesn't catch anyone. I'd check the leagues out for sure via button and that might interest me. Prizes would be cool as well and a small company of affordable men could provide some charity for a league pot. That pot would always interest some people, that hey, this game is being played for money as well like so many others, might look in to this. Online pots don't have to be big, I could afford to support 50$ a year easily. ps. I also must remind that this community lives off NHL94, the existence of NHL94 and it's popularity is not about this community, this community is just a small part of it all. At best this could bring many of the people together, that is the main thing. We must not put ourselves ahead of all of that. At best this community serves everyone.

So, WIFEY #2 here seems to be several grades above the first wife. HERE is my XMAS present this year!!!

With all the things people do on the internet, my wife is happy I am playing 20 year old hockey video games. It really is just like playing cards or chess in the evening only better.

So my ex used to come into the room and start byatching at me all the time, but would save it for when I was enjoying a good video game.and towards the end of the marriage, it became obvious we were at the end, so I started to go on full ignore mode, and tried to just not talk to her, like for days & days. But she had a way to keep going, and going & saying crazy s**t till she KNEW she had hit THAT nerve. So, one day, she comes in while I'm playing video games on the TV, and starts byatching, and I'm like, "Hey do you hear something? (while looking around the room after pausing the game). She keeps going, and I then say, "Self, do you hear that?", and then I look around again, and I'm like, "YES, I DO! I hear SOMETHING. Not sure what it is." and keep looking all around the room, while she's standing there now in silence with this look like, "Really?" Then, I say, "Yah, but I'm not sure where it's coming from." I then pause, and right as she's about to speak, say "but it sure does sound like a c*nt!". W/ that she blows up, and starts breaking half the s**t in the place! It was worth all the misery that followed
