Tier 2: Task 12
I only joined a few days ago, and I am frankly shocked. I’d seen the advertisements on Reddit before, but I did not expect the amount of activity that went on, from the media to graphics to the recording of league history. I love fantasy football, but the leagues I’ve been in don’t come close to the amount of interaction as this. As a commissioner in one of my fantasy football leagues, these are the types of contributions and interactions I could only dream of from my members. However, getting started was a bit overwhelming. I probably would have not continued if it weren’t for the player template guide, which not only assists you in deciding what type of player you want to be but also teaches how to apply TPE, and video that shows you how to create an update page. It’s really important that these tools exist for new players. In this day and age, it’s rare that so much manual work is needed in order to bookkeep statistics and the like, and although that initially seemed like a chore, I realized it’s not as difficult as it first seemed.
I couldn’t name a specific person that has made my time more fun, because I’ve already interacted with so many people on team discords and they’ve all been extremely helpful and nice. I was surprised how easily I got along with everyone. It’s truly a welcoming community. My biggest fear was that I’d join a discord and it’d be completely dead. I was worried that people mainly just focused on updating their stats and gaining TPE, but there’s a lot of extroverted people in this community.
Since I haven’t been drafted, I can’t answer those latter questions, but I can’t wait to tune into the game and see what my player does, as well as what it’s like to enjoy a game together with my teammates. The thought of being drafted at all is fun, and I don’t really mind where I end up. There’s a long journey ahead of me, and I can’t say I’d mind staying in the DSFL a bit. In my opinion, there’s no rush. Being a part of a community and gradually improving my stats will be fun enough.
One suggestion I’d make is to make it clearer who the rookie mentors are. I’ve seen people say “feel free to reach out to the rookie mentors,” but I didn’t actually know who one was. I figured it out, but I think making that clear would just be a bit more helpful for people just joining.
