Good Morning, Good Evening and Good Night!
Just thought I would come here and answer a few general scouting questions that are generally asked. I am so down to have a chat with you so feel free to shoot and DMs through to me but, hey, if you are reading this scouts/GMs I hope it gives you a head start with who I am.
I mean, I was always going to do this, and then read @"Netlandic" and then bonus media came out so now is the time to buckle up and write this piece.
How are you enjoying your time in the league so far?
It's going well. I have not been in the main ISFL server to much, but I hear that place is drama central so probably best to avoid it anyway? Anyway back to enjoying the league. I am having fun, learning the different little things about the way the forum works and differs to PBE which is where I am from. The team I was picked up on didn't make play offs but that does not make or break enjoyment for me. Obviously winning is a great thing but I'd like to go where I am needed/wanted.
Oh you're in other leagues? How active do you plan on being here?
Yes, I am in PBE. But only PBE. In saying that, I am in Head Office over there and it does take a huge chunk of my set aside 'sim league' time. I cohost a podcast, Women in PBE, and we interviewed @bex. She mentioned that she joined PBE on an a 'Yea may as well' and then got super invested. I joined ISFL on a whim, and after a bit of coaxing from @.simo but I joined the DSFL server and given the Rookie role and couldn't wait to create. Then created a week before Trade Deadline and put the disclaimer, please don't approve till TDL. And the next 10 days went as slowly as they could possibly go. I too, like Bex, have gone all in. Yes ISFL is my second sim league, and I don't plan on creating elsewhere, but I am all in.
How active are you in the Locker Room?
A few things I need to address here. While finding my feet in a new place I may take a minute or two to warm up and find my footings. I will chat and reply to comments, post a cute picture of my dog sleeping with his tongue poking out. I am in a different timezone to a fair amount of people here, I'm guessing, so I will be as active as I can whilst we are awake at the same time and I am not at work or parenting. Also, full disclaimer, I may mute some of the channels, like pokemon, or whatever that I don't find relevant, but the TPE opportunities/claims/main chat will always remain open with full notifications. As I mentioned before, I work and am a parent so when I'm doing my sim league stuff the least distractions and the better conversations I can have with people the better! Well, except for a meme server, if there is one there, that is staying open! This is not to say I don't venture in, I just want to keep my notifications to a minimum. Wow, Emfaith, you really are just answering these, no bars held. Yes, I know I need to be honest.
Would you position swap?
Look, this is all about honesty and the short answer is no. And the long answer is I would really not be keen on swapping. Simo and I had this great idea of being a cool duo - Wide Receiver and Quarter Back - and hopefully be drafted into the majors together. A power duo that lands all the way into the Hall of Fame. Also kinda cool if a husband and wife duo made it into the HoF together. So this was the plan and all that. And then I found out that, what like, half of this draft class are all Wide Receivers. Ugh. So I know that is not shining down on me, and like Netlandic, could take me out of the running for a few teams - in DSFL and ISFL drafts but there you have it - Why I am a wide receiver and why I don't want to swap.
What teams would you like to play for?
I would really like to play for a team that needs a wide receiver. As for preferences? You can read my media piece on the logos, but I would love to play on Dallas Birddogs (the aforementioned dog with his tongue poking out is a cocker spaniel, or a birddog) and London Royals purely out of aesthetics. But seriously, I do not care where I am drafted to. I know I'll have fun anywhere I go.
What goals do you have as a player and user?
I don't think I have any specific goals except for playing the best I can. I know a lot of that comes down to the sim and the capped defensive players I am up against. But I want to just be able to do my very best. I would love to make it to the HoF with Wendell Sailor as I have already mentioned.
How do you see yourself earning?
I have already written two media pieces, (this one included) and created 2 graphics (one obviously as my sig), I have twitter and a job with the wiki team. I am setting myself up to purchase training each week and hopefully Tier 6 equipment. But I will do the best equipment that I can. I'd love to do podcasts too but that is a lot of time and being in different timezones with other people is hard and talking about football by myself for an hour is even harder. Maybe I can see if Simo wants to do one with me?
So I should state my biggest flaw.
I joined PBE with a small amount of baseball knowledge and have joined ISFL with even less knowledge about football. I understand the stats behind a wide receiver but for now, that is about it. So my insane lack of football knowledge may affect my 'put together facade' but I will definitely ask some dumb questions in the locker room - and I know I know, there is no such things as a silly question, but I assure you, as a teacher, there 100% is and I know that I will do it.
Which football team do I follow?
I don't follow a particular team, well I guess I do by default and that would be the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean, we did name our 6month old AJ, Adriel Jeremiah, after the man himself. I could not tell you how they are going or hold any conversation about them. As I mentioned above, I know a little bit about baseball and even less about football.
What music do you like?
I was asked this a few times while being scouted in PBE and didn't really have a good answer. And now my answer is even worse. My life is filled with PBE podcasts to keep learning all I can about the league and the new one ISFL one from @HuddleHussy but a part from that its normally Cocomelon, Frozen or Moana.
I think that about covers the normal scouting questions.
Do you like breakfast?
The best question that I was asked over while being scouted in PBE was - do you like breakfast? And my exact response was: 'You are talking my language. My favourite meal is breakfast! I love a good eggs, bacon, sourdough, tomato, hollandaise sauce, or choc chip pancake stack. Maybe a decadent and crunchy muesli/granola with a thick Greek yoghurt and fresh mango from my in-laws orchid hahah. I looove breakfast.
All in all, I am really looking forward to the draft, like all rookies. I am more than happy to chat to any GMs/scouts that want to chat. I just thought I would work on my bank balance while I have a bit of time up my sleeve, you know, doing what I can to be a max earner and all.
* Edited to add: I didn't mention that Simo and I don't need to be drafted into the minors together, that is a majors goal!*
