There have been a ton of users who have made my ISFL experience what it is today. To all of my people from Philly, Norfolk, and Minnesota you are the greatest bunch of users in the league and no one else can top it.

From my Minnesota days, CC and Jamar were kind enough to draft me first overall and they were some really great GMs to work with. Shortly after Russ stepped up and he was instrumental in me becoming a DSFL GM.

In Norfolk, Isa, Schwarz, Tes, Jimi, Blas, and more welcomed me with open arms like I was one of their own and we had some great times. My coGMs G2019 and Beck were the best and way too much fun to deal with in the war room.

In Philadelphia, Pat and Cody have turned it into the best locker room in the league and an awesome community overall. My coGM Lucid is the best in the biz, but I am still 100% better at bowling.

I must say that i would’ve preferred a normal fictional writing prompt, as pouring my heart out is usually not my strength. It’s not as if I don’t have people to thank but it’s more like there are so many people deserving of thanks that I’m worried about forgetting someone important. But as I’m wanting to max earn and I have no shortage of users to show my appreciation, we shall dive ahead anyways.

Furious_Panda is, according to my Joel Drake create a player page, the one who recruited me to the league. More than likely he was the one who posted the Reddit thread that I followed to the original Jckink website. For that I both thank and curse him as this whim of mine had taken more time then I ever would’ve guessed.

My current GMs Zayn and TheRocheLimit grabbing me in the third also deserve thanks, though perhaps i should be thanking all other GMs for not taking me and allowing me to join the future NYS dynasty.

1. First and foremost, I want to address my brother Moonlight, who convinced me to join my first simulation football league in the ISFL, and I'm happy he did because it's been a ton of fun so far. He helped in explaining how simulation football leagues like the Isfl worked, the rules , how to update my players weekly, and any questions I had regarding the league. He also helped me with setting up my player.




2. @RussDrivesTheBus, special advisor of the San Jose Sabercats, the team that drafted me in the 3rd round of the ISFL draft. I greatly appreciate him for being very patient , answering any question I ever had for him regarding the ISFL, and just overall being a chill fucking guy.










3. Thanks to @PurpleReign, he helped me with anything and everything since I got picked up off waivers by the Birdogs, from reminding me to do my first weekly training to helping me solve my issue with updating my player.

I have a lot of nice things to say about the people that have made this league a pleasant place for the last few irl years. First off, @SwankyPants31 and @Tesla who are doing incredible jobs as the GMs of the yeti in some relatively difficult circumstances from a team building perspective. @"Gbeck765" has given me my first shot at GMing in the league and has been a great friend throughout my time in Norfolk and I am truly thankful for that. @negs is always so gracious with our teasing and is a fun person to have around on the team. There are so many more that I could thank, but with only 150 words it's a bit of a challenge, so I'll just  add brief general acknowledgements to all my friends in Norfolk and the Yeti. You are all incredible and I am thankful to be surrounded by so many wonderful people that have really made the last few years better for me. Heck the sim, but love the people.

Damn I have been in this league far far to long for this so it is gonna take me a bit of time going through this and even after I complete it I will still have missed a ton of people as well.

Never the less let us begin, we'll the 1st person should really be @Tomasnz who introduced me to the league and so is the reason I have been in this wonderful community (so it is his fault I am here please blame him). Then I have to think about the people who draft me firstly @PDXBaller who was my dsfl gm at the mighty Ultimini winning Palm Beach Solar Bears. Now moving onto Austin, my beloved Austin. There are too many people in this team to say how wonderful they are but I will give it a quick go, there is @AdamS founder and GM master, there is @JKortesi81 also founder but more than that my GMing partners, my friend. Then there are all the people who still make Austin an amazing space to be in, @Kyle @Kyamprac @unconfident @PugWalrus @frazzle14 and also @Amidships even if he has left!

I haven’t been around too long but, I have been shocked by the amount of activity and just the willingness to help from everyone. I have a couple in real life friends, soevil and reedyornot, that brought me into the league and have helped me navigate my way around.

I had a lot of great scouting conversations between being picked up off the DSFL free agent waiver wire and going through the ISFL draft process. Repgnar, Artix, and PugWalrus all reached out to welcome me to the league when I first started. All of them offered help and suggestions as to navigating around the league. I had very similar conversations going into the ISFL draft with GuiatrMaster116, numbers, Zayn, Mooney, Swankypants31, Negs, and TheRabbit, all of which were very nice and helpful.

Then the whole KCC and Copperheads communities have been fun to interact with, learn from, and just have a good time.

There are too many great users that i have to thank and have been a huge part of making the ISFL my favorite pass time, my war room in New York will get the biggest shout out so i will start naming most people who i have had the pleasure of GMing and had a possitive impact on me and helped me in my GM journing so i will name a few that i have not talked about enough, some of the older vet users who helped me so much when i started

Moosey for being one of the best users in all sim leagues, and a very patient and understanding QB one of the most creative and artistic people i have met moosey has been massive part of the war room from the second i joined new york to this day. 

Teyon, an awesome user who i always enjoying talking too, and someone who always was willing to give his opinions on any draft move or trade we made. One of my biggest regrets was not being able to give you the HOF running back career that you deserved and i hope this player will be the one

Tim, another amazing war room contributer someone who played a huge part of our culture and helped us build a real contender, was willing to play a smaller role at linebacker in order to help the team hit its potential

There's been a lot of people that have helped me out a lot and deserve shout outs. 

First, @soevil got me into the league.  I was skeptical at first and even after the first couple weeks after joining.  But after I got to see my own little dot running around the screen, I was hooked.  soevil was extremely helpful in the beginning of my ISFL journey, helping me navigate the forum and discord servers, as he had just done all of the same work a few days prior.  Even still he's my go to guy for things I've missed around the league or pinpointing who to talk to or which thread to post to when I need to find something out. 

@Kotasa you took the chance and drafted me to an awesome team even though my TPE wasn't sky high.  You were very helpful as the Luchadores GM, especially in my first season.  I thought it was awesome that you'd tag the whole team reliably at game time and then award game balls after.  Playing for you and the Luchadores was a pleasure.  I'm so happy we got a championship out of it!

@TheCC similarly, you drafted me despite some TPE concerns (I'm getting on the right track now, just started slow lol) and I appreciate the opportunity! My time as a Butcher has been short but you've already helped me out several times with a position switch and some forum issues among other things.  I look forward to the several championships we're going to win in Chicago.
