12) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S23 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
As a very recent rookie, this (and many other of the Ultimus Tasks) are kind of hard to fulfil, especially since I have not been drafted yet. But I will try my best to elaborate on the other questions and my general experience in my first week and a bit in the league. Like masses of other prospects from this class, I learned about the league via Reddit. I was always interested in “Forum RPGs” and things that are alike so I was immediately intrigued about this new thing I just saw. I instantly looked all over the forums, sucked up all the tutorials and tips and knew I wanted to be a part of this. Creating the player was very straightforward, the creation tool helped immensely and I loved the tutorial videos which helped me understand the first basic steps. After being originally a little bit overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information the more I read about everything the more it started to make sense and I got very excited about learning more. The two discords (DSFL as well as ISFL) were extremely helpful in getting more in-depth knowledge although I feel that more of those great video tutorials would help a lot with the rookie onboarding, which I think I mentioned in the Rookie Survey anyways.
The real fun for me began when scouts started asking me questions via forum PM and Discord messages though. After that I got invited into some of the locker rooms and met a whole bunch of really great people, especially some fellow non-recreate S25 rookies like me. Especially nice and fun conversations were had in some of the locker rooms (and I have got to stress the amazingness of Platanocat, you’re a fun person to virtually hang with, next to a lot of other people around there of course). I also got invited in some of the more banter-filled locker rooms which I enjoyed a lot as well. Generally, the whole community has been amazingly welcoming and friendly everywhere I went.
I sadly can’t say too many things yet about how my player will perform or has performed, but in retrospect, I wish I had changed around some of the stats when I created him since I feel like I did not put enough emphasis into strength and speed and wasted points on things like “Hands” because I thought it would help with Interceptions early on.
18) Create a billboard, magazine cover, or video game cover depicting a superstar of the league. Graphics only.
20) Show your player hoisting the championship trophy. Graphics only.
