PBE PT
15) So usually for a task like this, I'll write about the PBE. It's where I cut my teeth in sim leagues and it's still my home base as far as sim leagues go. I say I'm in 3 other sim leagues but really I'm 85% in the PBE and 5% in each of those other leagues. The ISFL is a league I've tried to get into. Not that I don't like it, it's just not the sim league mecca for me. Still looking for a job here and am willing to take any offers. I did consider being a GM a while back but that's because I was a PBE minors co which is about the same as being nothing at all. But I digress. I'm not gonna talk about the PBE. I've talked about it to death and back and I feel like it's about time I give due to the other league I'm in. I rarely, if ever, talk about this league to other people. It's kinda like that burnt-out cousin that family friends will ask about and you have to dance around their question because you don't want to bring up the fact that he works part-time at 7/11 and sold the chair leather in his dad's car for a bag of weed and watches Dirty Dancing nonstop in his parent's attic. But I'm finally breaking my silence: let me talk about the SBA.
The SBA was the 2nd league I ever joined. I'm a big basketball fan and I saw that it was an affiliate with the PBE. So I said what the heck and decided to join another sim league with no prior knowledge of it and no recommendations or referrals from any of my PBE buds. When you join the league there, you actually get to choose which minors (or SBDL, as it's called) team you want to join. I joined the first team that reached out to me: the Jurupa Valley Jackals. The earning system there definitely caught me up. You see, most sim leagues have either based their earning and TPE systems off of the SHL or the VHL. PBE and ISFL is SHL based. SBA was VHL based. So I didn't realize that there was a TPE limit and that I needed a league job in order to max earn. It took me a while but after a few months I began max earning and I was on my way to a solid career. Well, I thought that at least. Then the Jackals lost in the playoffs. And I had crossed the SBDL TPE cap and had to be drafted. I went 10th in the draft, which is still the highest I have ever been drafted in any league.
There I joined the St. Louis Battalion, coached by one of my Nashville Stars teammates Baelor. It was a fun time there...until he traded me. So within about 4 months I had finally learned how to earn in the SBA, had to be called up from a team that I loved, and got traded. It was...something. Anyway, I've stuck with the team I got traded to and I'm just chilling as of right now. The SBA is a weird league to get used to. And there are plenty of offputting users. But, I have found some great users in my time there. Shoutout to ngine4 and Shaka. Neither of them will ever see this but I love them both.
21) Now when it comes to branding, I consider myself one of the experts. Not because I've ever made branding myself or made a sig or made a graphic, for that matter. But, I've seen my fair share of branding during my 13+ months of experience in simulation leagues. And with my ISFL birthday just around the corner (March 17th), why don't I look at some ISFL branding and give some hot takes? Now, in order to work out way to the top, we have to start with the bottom. The Second Line's logo is a bunch of humans partying. Now unless that human is Danny DeVito, I'm not a huge fan of humans in logos. The Butchers' logo is a big knife. Not sure what to make of it. The Hawks logo is a bird looking Eastward. Not bad but not even the best bird logo. The Wraiths? Too scary. The Yeti? Not scary enough. The Hahalua? Don't even know what that is. Now let's talk about the big hitters. The Copperheads have great coloring, great detail, and a big ole snake. You can never go wrong with one of those. The Silverbacks have a big gorilla. You can never have too many of those. But the best logo...undoubtedly...belongs to the Minnesota Grey Ducks! It's a duck, it's grey: what else do you want? Go Ducks.
