*S45 – DROY Power Rankings - CaptainDMG - 12-09-2023
Anyone can write media, but it is far more difficult to write *interesting* media that people are actually going to read and enjoy. The mark of a good author is giving something for the audience to ruminate on or give them something the evokes an emotion/response. Yes, I write media to earn ISFL bucks, but I also enjoy trying to give “value added” to a community in which I am involved with. Admittedly, I do not have any form of social media whatsoever. Which I suppose the ISFL Discord/league page qualifies as that for me now, but it is still different in my opinion. All the users have something in common (the ISFL) and there are agreed upon rules that everyone is supposed to follow. As in, I could post something seemingly inane or write a subjectively terrible piece of media, and I would not get “completely” slandered… lest someone get punished.
So as I write this week 7 edition, it comes on the back of yet another “S44 Draftee Punishment”. Now, I have no idea what happened nor does it truly “affect” me, but I do see the trickle-down effect. I cannot remember which user said it, nor do I remember it entirely, but someone essentially said that S44 is not here for long but they are here for a good time. Ultimately, users can be “keyboard warriors” and write/post things just because… full stop. For whatever reason someone hits send/enter/post, it could boil down to something as simple as “just because”. It gives me the vibes of Will Ferrell in Blades of Glory, “No one knows what it means but it’s provocative.”
I have learned in my brief time here that there is a spectrum of ages and walks of life and time zones and residencies in the league. I have also learned that people are here for a good time, if not, then they go “IA”. In addition to the power rankings for this installation, I went on a mission to see what interesting things users posted on their player’s Wiki. Come to find out, some players do not have a Wiki. When I reached out those users without a Wiki, I got a few similar responses between them all. The gist is that creating a Wiki is a little too involved for them and they are just here for fun. I 100% respect that and get that. With that being said, I think we need to all take a page from those users and just have fun while keeping it classy.
As a reminder, if you missed how the DROY Power Ranking score is calculated, see the first installment of this series here (https://forums.sim-football.com/showthread.php?tid=48722)

Except, something clicked that year, and Dangerson helped the Pythons win the Ultimini that year en route to him being a first round pick in the S44 ISFL Draft.

(4 tck x 1.5 = 6 +Win = 8pts for Week 7 added to 68pts from Weeks 1-6 = 76pts)
