Tier 2 Task #7
My tale of getting to the international simulation football league starts out with my friends. My friends, Borgo San Lorenzo, Madison Hayes and Evan Jones created in the ISFL and told me to create, I was hesitant to join because I had just become GM of a rebuilding team in the SHL and did not think I had the time to dedicate to the ISFL, a few weeks had passed and they were talking about it occasionally. They were all really excited for their draft that was about to happen. I then watched the S26 ISFL draft with Evan Jones as he was the first to create and was a member of the S26 class. I was so impressed by the quality of production associated with the ISFL draft. I also was laughing the entire time, the personalities on the cast were very playful, warm and that I decided to join. Since joining the international simulation football league my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. As soon as I created I received an invite to the offensive linemen server which has been a positive group of people encouraging others to succeed and play the type of player that they desire and I have fully immersed myself in being an offensive lineman. I was a little overwhelmed with all of the discord invitations to different DSFL teams that had interest in scouting my player, Stumpy Jones. Open discord Locker Rooms was a concept that was foreign to me. I had only joined a few of the discords to get a taste of what goes on, I think it was London, Dallas, Norfolk and Portland. From my perspective it was really chaotic. Since being drafted to Portland I was extremely impressed at how involved Zeagle and SouthPaw have been. The way they run the team is a mastapiece; they have really great systems in place of keeping people engaged and providing proper tools for one to find success. Hordle is a decent guy, so is Arkz. In reality there have been so many people that I have met through the ISFL that have been overwhelmingly positive. I’ll only name a few but the entire list I have is hella long. I’ve been really impressed by xtitanx that guy is so hype and his activity has been great, Miller, thiath, 23, StadiumGambler, Cklues, LB3737, Kya, r0tz, etc...
I’ve been very satisfied with how Stumpy Jones has performed. It’s difficult to complain after winning DSFL Offensive Lineman of the year. In an extremely close Pancake race with Cheese Farley (one less pancake, one more sack allowed) I’m happy to bring home the accolade. I can hardly remember being picked for the DSFL draft. I would say from what I remember I was surprised at how late I was drafted in both the DSFL draft and the ISFL draft that happened.
Lastly, I think something that could be implemented is in the Sims is to show the box scores between each game to display stats for all positions. For example there isn’t an accurate way to see how many stats an offensive linemen gets in the sim until the index is updated. As an offensive lineman this has killed my enthusiasm to watch the sim. I just do my weekly updates and wait for the index to be updated. This may be fine for me, but I feel like other people may not enjoy the inability to see their player stats during the sim and it may cause people to more likely swap away from being offensive linemen just because the sims aren’t exciting for them.

The team that I think has the best branding in the International Simulation Football League is a tight race between the Chicago Butchers and the Colorado Yeti but I must give the best Brand to the Colorado Yeti.The colors are crisp and make the eye pop. I enjoy the use of the Colorado State Flag in the branding. I also think that keeping the yeti completely shaded was a very clever decision and gives the logo a lot of balance between the bright, sharp colors of the colorado state flag backdrop and Black of the Yeti. The allusion of the mascot being unknown was something I have never seen before in a logo and must give tremendous praise for it. Overall it’s a logo that has great flow and I could see myself getting merchandise that has this logo on it.
The team that I think could use a refresh is the Yellow Knife Raiders, I mean Wraiths. I just think the Wraiths logo has too many similarities to the Raiders of the NFL even down to the color choices. I think it lacks creativity in regard to color choices and design, to my eye it is unimpressive and not at all what I visualized a wraith to be. I would have expected something more ghostly or ghoulish.
