[Hey, this is roughly 2672 words long. It is about the expansion draft so 1.5x media in play. It is ready to be graded.]
So it begins. With every closed window opens up a new challenge and all I can do is try to make the best out of this situation.
Just to say, I do not feel like all my media really needs a fun title or a series name. So I have decided to do a terible Part 1, Part 2, etc vibe to them cause honestly no-one will read this. That is okay. I am just doing this for the 1.5z media bonus since I am applicable to it very easily without having to do much study for it.
I can rough do what I used to do and pump media out with little quality and have it be justified meeting requirements since I am a part of the new fresh faced team! Suck it Head Office! So welcome to Part 1.
Truthfully, I was hoping to avoid doing this but I may as well start pumping out the media since Laszlo Forty Two is applicable to all expansion draft media. I can get the 1.5x media stupidly god damn easy now. So why not take advantage of it whilst I can to help my bank account out. I will be paying 4 million I believe for the position change of the Wide Receiver position and turning into an Offensive Linemen. A position I hope to help out as much as I can to make sure the position gets some love.
I have zero idea how Laszlo Forty Two will do in this position but I know I will enjoy it a lot more and that is all I ever wanted really. I think enjoying your build and player is probably more important than most things.
I think my plan for media is do the full history of Lazzy cause I now have him in 3 specific leagues and whilst not hugely touch on those other leagues at least show where I got him from, as well as a few others I have planned. But this one will be based off the expansion draft thoughts of the Sailfish.
I think the best place to begin is going into it I did obviously talk to them. I do not know Raven, Dwyer, Frost Bite nor Rain Delay. I did play with Raven on the Luchadores in his last season but we barely talked. So I did not have a positive or negative thought process going into talks cause I just did not know them. Open and polite cause why would you not do that. I can only imagine how hard it is to be an expansion General Manager as it is.
So the only other thing I can really judge the teams on is location and nickname. This meant I had to google Sarasota cause as a brit I cannot say I have ever heard of this place and was a bit sad to hear it was in Florida. I do not have anything against the state of Florida. Well, maybe the state it is in with the virus in real life cause a floridian friend updates me on the stupidity of the people in charge there but overall the location itself is all but fine with me.
I have had Laszlo Forty Two play in Florida before for a team called the Tampa Piranhas in another league and would have liked to avoided that. I have a plan for my recreate that fixes certain things with his career in NSFL since it is choppy as fuck now but I will get to that and what I mean in my other media. Some of you I have told this about but if I make it public then I can use it for wikipedia lol
Hawaii I had no issues with. I think it is pretty cool to have a team in a unique state like that, the travel for some players is going to be painful if this was real but I am all for a team from there.
Going by the logos, not much difference overall for me. I like both of them quite a bit. Both aquatic in nature, both decent animals and I would not have hated being in these colours. So overall based off team and first impressions, I do have to admit that the Honolulu based team had a slight preference due to location alone. Sorry but picking from a lovely remote island and the place that acts like Dance Monkey by Tones and I is a truly hard decision on visiting lol
No I will progress a bit further. The talks with both teams. I did tell the people I talked to that my plan like I have stated previously was simple. I was going to be a Wide Receiver until regression came for me. Which as a season 16 player comes for me after this next upcoming seasons finishes basically.
This gave the Colorado Yeti a grace period even though I genuinely just wanted to switch then and there. They were the only team and people seemingly irate at the switch cause most others were for me enjoying my new position.
Now I guess you could argue "What do you expect to find in Offensive Linemen position that you won't in Wide Receiver?" and that is a great and fair question. But switch this around. I do not do anything in Wide Receiver as it is. I rely on a bad quarter back to pass to me and when he does barely anything happens when compared to James Bishop, the dude I played under all my career and even now when I am beating him by 200+ total points earner due to regression Laszlo barely beats him.
I am the 3rd highest in total points made for Wide Receiver or was at the time of looking midway through last season and whilst I could have made an argument for Breakout award (Which apparently is not a thing now anymore? Cool. Thanks.) I'm light years away from better Wide Receivers. You could also argue this kills or heavily cripples my Hall of Fame chances with my baby third person talking hungarian boy.
Well, I want you to know that this section took the longest to write because I am pointing and laughing at you for even implying that this pathetic Wide Receiver career ever has a shot at Hall of Fame. I would argue being an Offensive Linemen has helped me improve my chances from 0% to 5-ish % overall? I do not really care for Hall of Fame mind and I know I threw that away when playing for a team no-one else wanted to play for. Hard to get stats y'know.
Anyway, enough venting and filler. I have not even gotten to the team and I am over 1000 words into this now. Basically the talks with the expansion General Managers were a bit interesting to me.
I got the impression Rain Delay was not interested in me after I said I would not be a Wide Receiver after one more season. This pursue of happiness apparently crippled my stock. But if they are not interested, so be it! That's 100% fine.
The Honolulu team however sounded pretty into my change and that was a big self esteem +3 boost. I do not know why people hate Offensive Linemen personally but subjective matter so treat yourself to whatever opinion you would like friend. The overall talks went well and I guessed I would go midway through this expansion to Honolulu with the hopes that they just pick someone else from the Colorado Yeti and they do protect me. Normally I would do the XD face cause I hate that face and it would sum up my sarcastic joke but I need to go bigger. Ecks Dee. That will do nicely.
To cut this story of filler shorter we get to the draft. I am drafted. Hence why I am doing media to vent and feel better. Now I do not hate my new team, as far as I can tell (Or we will get to soon) I like a lot of them or have a laugh with them. I am also the highest TPE player on the team. I guess that is to be expected since I am season 16 and the previous season decayed to regression though mind. I assume that'd put me as one of the highest Total Points Earned players in the National Sim Football League. Or at least up there.
I genuinely hope I can make Offensive Linemen look like a fun or great position for people as one of the highest to make it look more appealing and give this position some love. My only regret is not doing something for myself sooner than try to be a good team mate. Anyway the draft is finished!
It is time to now talk about the new team mates of the Gridiron Football cultist, Mr. Forty Two!
I do not fully know the roster cause I stopped watching the stream so if I do not know many this could backfire horribly. Plus I come with the added issue I do not know or remember player names a lot of the time. So a high chance of "I do not know who the god damn hell this dude is" might happen and I actually do but forgot. I am in way too many sim leagues cut me a break
Frost Bite - I like Frost. I have talked to him a little if memory serves well and we have always had a pleasant time together. Cannot remember if we have ever been on the same team in any league but overall I cannot complain to have a General Manager like him. His sig is a little weird buuut I kinda lost that high road for judging sigs after last night.
Rain Delay - So bare with me whilst I explain this situation we have. I do not know Rain Delay. He does not know me. We have seen each others posts but never interacted with each other. This in turn is how we both do indeed 100% factually know each other. Still with me? No? Come on lad! It was simple! How could you not understand!
Alright...So the first interaction we had was me thinking I knew him from somewhere, cause once again, awful memory. However, the fact that I did not know him sort of made us get to know each other. So now we knew each other by just...Not? I dunno it is a weird situation but a cool one. I think I have seen him post in the Simulation Hockey League like but I do not know his player there. (In before he plays for the Edmonton Blizzard and I just do not realise it) All I know is we finally share a locker room and I am hyped to see what he can do as a General Manager.
So now time for the new Satarota Sail fish!
Wide Receiver Dexter Banks II who is the user TropicaliaCC. From the Orange County Otters!
I cannot actually say I have talked to him off top of my head. I believe he was the purple puppies (The Kansas City Yotes') General Manager at one point? He still might be cause I do not follow the Development Sim Football League past the Luchadores of Tijuana closely. I think he has a good player albeit not the highest Total Points Earned just yet without knowing his draft class. But he is on Orange County so need I say more about them really. Probably the best to get 1st overall.
Next selected by the Saramota Sail fish was:
Defensive End Fabricio Baldari who is the user Sermokala. From the Baltimore Hawks.
He becomes the first defending based position player to join the team! So congrats on that if it means anything to you. Honestly, I do not believe we have ever talked and the Baltimore Hawks team is a team I barely know anyone on past the former quarter back. I like your profile picture avatar of Archer. I think that is all I can really say. I am planning on making all Defensive Ends' life a living hell so congrats on avoid Laszlo Forty Two lol
I look forward to getting to know you though <3
Next selected by the Samabota Sail fish was:
Another Defensive End Steco Ocewilder who is the user soppy chico. From the Colorado Yeti.
My boy. My beautiful baby Steco. The diamond in this rough situation is that with a back-to-back pick up of Defensive Ends I stayed with you. Technically you going should have protected me but I have finished that media. Just felt like I needed to point it out but I am glad we stat team mates.
I believe you were a Tight End in the Development Sim Football League cause you were on the Tijuana Luchadores and you are just someone I like to talk to. This is the biggest loss for the Colorado Yeti and I am not afraid to admit that. You should do great and all is well things for this team.
Neeext selected by the Masatota Sail fish was:
The Corner Back Jordan Andrews who is the user Raider Nation. From the New Orleans Second Line.
This mother fucker right here. Where the fuck does he get off going one position above me! Okay so before I talk about my buddy. I will say I think this one stinks the team more than any other. If you exclude me (I hate you Tom Hanks!
), NOLA is basically all Luchadores people who consider that place the permanent home.
This was my quarter back (God I hope you were at least or I am pulling another swagsloth - Sloth Faced Killa situation) when the Luchadores dicked the San Antonio Spurs or whatever that shite team was called and then defeated the Portland Pythons. Good times. I wish I stayed down now but hindsight is twenty twenty really.
I am very happy to be playing with him once again and apparently you are a Corner Back now. How neat. Played about as many positions as Laszlo has in other leagues lol.
Next up, selected by the SooSoo BooCoo Sail fish was:
"Wide Receiver Laszlo Forty-Two from the dickhead called C9Van. Drafted from Colorado Yeti.
First off, Rain Delay put this about him in his media:
"Laszlo and I will finally get to share a locker room after all this time. Laszlo also has a little surprise for his player, and I'm not sure how many know it yet. I'll let him share, since it'll be happening soon anyways. Either way, we are stoked to add him!"
This made me feel a lot better and I believe the league now knows I will be trying to help out Offensive Linemen. I think judging myself is a little harsh so I decided to do something a little more useful with my time. My opinion of this pick up is:
Atrocious, awful, cheap, crummy, dreadful, lousy, poor, rough, sad, unacceptable, blah, bummer, diddly, downer, GARBAGE(TOTAL GOD DAMN GARBAGE TOO!), gross, imperfect, inferior, junky, synthetic, abominable, amiss, bad news, beastly, bottom out, careless. cheesy, crappy, cruddy, defective, deficient, dissatisfactory, erroneous, fallacious, faulty, god awful, grody, grungy, icky, inadequate.
Please feel free to pick whatever 3 you would actually like to sum up how this pick feels. I personally would say this made them lose not just this draft but the draft after this one. Hell, throw in season 24's draft too. How are they connected? No clue, you figure it out but I know a bad pick up when I see it!
So turns out this is longer than I imagined and I want to be making as much money as a possibly can do this will have to be broken up into 2 parts. So part 2 will actually be part 2! How exciting. I do not know when that next part will be out but it will for sure be out soon rest assured. I hope you enjoyed reading this even though I have no idea why you would read all this but thanks buddy. Until next time, good bye.
