If you thought I was late to post this last time boy are you gunna be happy to see this. More great alumni joined our ring of honour, we have had two inductions since my last article which can be found here. The nominated players were voted on by cuarto de guerra as well as some former GMs with the rules that a player must be retired from the ISFL to be nominated. The voters were advised to consider both the player's Tijuana career as well as their career afterwards in the ISFL, but it was up to the voters discretion on how they weighted each. Players needed 2/3 of votes to be inducted and 1/3 of votes to remain on the ballot. You can also see all the members of our ring of honour in our fancy new wiki page!
The first induction since my last article was in S26, the players joining the ring of honour from that ballot are;

After one season was missed we had another induction this offseason, where two legendary users of the franchise had their players inducted;

Players remaining on the ballot for next season:
S4 Blackford Oakes S #33
S17 Jordan McCann III QB #13
S16 Laszlo Forty-Two WR #42
S22 LiterallyJust A. Hexagon S #6
S20 Kyle Idlewyld DE #97
(Please pm me at any time if you would like to nominate a Tijuana alumn to add to next seasons ballot or to renominate someone who has missed out previously with justification on why they should be reconsidered)


Notes from the author: "You can see there's a slight bias towards newer players as a lot of our war room were not around for the careers of some of the older players on the ballot. That's partly on me to write detailed descriptions of the older players careers on their bid to help the newer war room members understand the impact they had. This is also because we only started voting on the ring of honour three seasons ago, obviously if it had started sooner most of these nominees would already be voted in." I said this last article and this still remains true, although it was really nice to see Adams finally get voted in after remaining on the ballot since we started the ring of honour.
Forrest Gump becomes the third player to be voted in unanimously, although how Swift wasn't as well I'll never know.
In my last article I subtitled it "the OL edition" as four big boys were all inducted at once, well this class is five skill position players. It really highlights the back and forward or cyclical nature of the DSFL which is what I love about it and what really keeps me interested in the league. I know some people just see the DSFL as an inconvenience before they really get to start their career but I have a lot of respect for all the users on each DSFL team that create a competitive league for the recreates but most importantly an environment that develops new users and keeps them engaged and committed to their player and team(s).

Shout out to @ckroyal92 for the jerseys they are amazing as usual, and he had to remake the template for us after his laptop died so we are very grateful.
