When I entered the league, I knew making friends and bonding with teammates might happen, but was mainly concerned with winning and being the best. While I am still ultra-competitive and will do whatever I can to help my team and player succeed, success for me has really become about those relationships, first and foremost. The Norfolk locker room is my favorite Discord server; the way our players, GMs, and alums have bonded is really something special. There is always fun to be had, we all get hyped for games, and we keep each other positive during tough times, both in the league and in real life. I've met so many fantastic users in this league, and despite the fun that the sim and the actual game play provide, it is these users that really make things here special.
Additionally, something that I’ve learned from some of the fantastic league veterans here, is how amazing it is, and how much emphasis is placed on creating a fun, positive, and welcoming environment for new users. As a rookie, I have absolutely fallen in love with this league and the people in it, and that’s because users took the time to connect with me, get me fired up about the league, and answer my questions. Therefore, I also gauge success by how many people I can help, how many new users I can get hooked on the league, and what kind of real and positive impact I can have on those around me in the league.
