Tier 2 Task 12
Hello children, it’s time to gather around the campfire so that grandpa CC can recount to you his all-time favorite league scandal. It’s known in some circles as...The Milkening. The Minnesota server has always been a bit of a rowdy place to hang out. It’s not for everyone, but it is our home. This day wasn’t much different than any other. There was shit posting, sexual innuendos, FSF was probably harassing people, you know, the usual. A long time debate had been taking place in Minnesota’s Discord server, and that was the debate between chocolate milk and strawberry milk. It actually started in the ISFL Twitter Discord server, where Dewalt and I would accost every new user to join the server until we found out their milk preference, and then a light hearted argument would break out every time. Anyway, this debate would get brought up occasionally in Minnesota’s server, and on this day, it was brought up again. Usually it would break down into name calling and maybe some mutes or a new role, but today was different. Yes, today everyone was feeling a bit livelier. The Milkening is infamous because it broke down into a spam war, where everyone was spamming “CHOCCY MILK”. This spam war started in the Minnesota Grey Ducks server, where an @everyone ping or three were thrown around in the already ensuing chaos. This rallied all of the troops from both sides, and it rallied those that chose no side. One little known fact about The Milkening is that it wasn’t even started by a Grey Duck player or war room member, or even an alumni! No, this was started by Joefish. After the @everyone pings, platanocat started counterspamming with an invite to the Royals LR. This was a grave mistake however, because this led to the spam war moving over into the Royals LR, where slowmode had to be activated. I believe a similar thing happened when a KCC server invitation was sent, along with a Sarasota server invitation. Some people that were affected thought that this was hilarious, while some thought that it was funny. One group that definitely did not think that it was even a little bit funny, was the PBE general server, who also got roped into this. I’m not sure how this was moved to the PBE server, but it resulted in several bans and some stern talking tos. I think that *most people* have learned to laugh at this, because it’s a truly absurd moment in ISFL history that some believe shouldn’t be taken as seriously as it was at the time. I think that we can all learn something from this notorious scandal in league history. (451 words)
Tier 2 Task 8
In all of my four seasons so far in the league, I don’t think that I have had as many people on my team make cases for awards as I had during this season. Two of them were absolutely incredible and I will be astonished if neither of them win their positional award. Those people are Tyler Oles Jr., and Osiris Firestorm-Fjord. They both play cornerback for the Chicago Butchers, where I am *clearly* the third wheel in the cornerback group haha. They both had outstanding seasons, where Tyler Oles Jr led the league (tied with five other players for the top spot) in interceptions with five and he was tied for second in the league with two other players in passes defended with 27. Those are crazy numbers for a cornerback, and I think they alone should catapult him to the top spot for a Cornerback of the Year award. Then to go along with those numbers, Tyler Oles Jr also ended the season with 68 tackles along with 1 forced fumble. The only person with more passes defended than him only has one interception, so I think he easily beats them. The likeliest competitor against Tyler Oles Jr for the Cornerback of the Year award is his and I’s own teammate, Osiris Firestorm-Fjord. He quietly had an absolutely dominant year on the opposite side of the defense. He led all cornerbacks in total turnovers created, with 3 interceptions, 3 fumbles forced, and 1 fumble recovered. That may depend on how you count forced fumbles and fumbles recovered, but I think that it pretty easily puts him at the number one spot for takeaways by a cornerback in my eyes. Along with those gaudy turnover numbers, he also defended 25 passes, barely coming up behind Tyler Oles Jr. Then in the most boring and possibly most irrelevant stat for cornerbacks, he had 78 tackles, which was more than Tyler Oles Jr ended up with. I think that these two being a couple of the favorites for the Cornerback of the Year award (and who knows, maybe even an even bigger award like Defensive Player of the Year, or less likely, an MVP award), along with me being a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate a couple of seasons back may cement us as the best cornerback group in the league. And we don’t plan on going anywhere for quite a while, so the rest of the league had better get used to running the ball against us if they know what’s good for them. (425 words)
