I can recall the first time I joined the league back in February. Strolling around through r/steelers sub-reddit and I walked upon the invite link. The thought of having my own player get drafted and play on the field was enticing. Updating at first was not easy, but when I saw my player card get called up on draft night it was something else. I started updating because it became fun. I made a few friends in that DAllas lcokerrom and it was cool to talk about football with people online. I found myself joking and chilling out in the many team lockerooms quite often. When general chat was active, that was my go to place after finishing my homework. This is where I started hearing about other sim leagues, but I never joined any of them except for a Gm-league hosted by Scorp. A bunch of use had our own teams and attempted to rebuild and win the super bowl. IT was funny to see the wacky trades and seasons going on. I slowly found myself updating less and less though. That mojo I once had as a rookie in the DSFL seemed to disappear in the ISFL. I started to forget updating and eventually just stopped updating totally. I tried to go IA but something about the league made me keep coming back. I realized I made so many friendships around the league, so I couldn’t just leave. So I remained active in the lockerroms I was in, but still did not update. I somehow managed to win two Defensive tackle of the year awards during that span of not updating, which gave me even less of a reason to start updating again. A few weeks later, i got invited to the local ISFL among us server; it was mostly a fall guys place but that game has since died. The among us server is where I definitely spent a lot of my time. I got traded to COlorado and have met super cool guys like Rus and Soup in there.The among us server has become a nightly meeting place for a bunch of guys where we chill and play among us, makes Greg Gase jokes, and talk football. I think it was this server brought me that fun mojo I had joining the league a few months ago, so I started updating again. I am looking to win that third DTOTY and my 4th pro bowl nomination.
