Tier 3
27. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why? (Written Task)
I think right now I would consider going Punter/Kicker as the other option, or for my next one. When I created my player I didn't realize how unrealistic the 'lore' of the league actually is and could have some fun with the backstory of the player rather than just being an ordinary person from an ordinary place. Might take some inspiration and maybe embellish some details to make it a bit more extraordinary and interesting.
That and I would want to try out the unique trait system that is in place for the kicker/punter, and see how they impact the sim. Might also be able to cut down on time, I've not been as involved as I would like and regularly run into the negative, and I think with the amount of abandoned kickers/punters I've seen on teams, they would still take someone who regularly updates but isn't a min/max kind of player that has a very noticeable impact on the team's performance.
*NEW* 32. The Philadelphia Liberty have rebranded to the Cape Town Crash! In this day and age of the ISFL, we're used to teams updating their looks, but it's been quite a while since the last major team rebrand to this scale! With that said, how do you feel about the rebranding? Tell us all about it! (Written Task)
I love a good rebrand, it helps keep things fresh, especially in that specific division since it adds a nice differentiation in color. I've actually written, well more of a rant, about how that NSFC division is full of Black, Yellow, and Red colors and Liberty wasn't really helping with that. But moving to a Purple and Orange color scheme is acutally a nice change of pace (totally not because I am part of New Orleans).
It also fills in a location on a continent that hasn't been used yet as far as I know. Which is always good for the brand. The only negative is now Pennsylvania has no team and with a player who attended Slippery Rock I think that will need to be resolved. Maybe some team located in Pittsburgh, possibly with some kind of factory or factory worker themed team. I think that would be a very nice addition or a rebrand for some team in a crowded location.
29. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? Why? (Written Task)
\
I might have some bias here as their updater, but I think Honolulu Hahalua has the best branding. I like their color palette, their logo, and their uniform design. Along with that I like that their team name and icon is something that is very regional, so much that I had to look up the word. That is something that I think is very important for the teams is to find something that is very local and make it part of the team. Second Line is another good example of this, though I am not a huge fan of the branding itself, sorry guys.
In their logo, I'm a fan of how the Hahalua looks like it has a mustache. It is designed very well and looks like it has it's own personality that will make very easily marketable. The only knock I have on them would be their field. It looks like their field is a blue colored field rather than green. I am personally not into the colored fields and would prefer that stay green.
19. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. (Written Task)
I had to check the wiki because I wasn't sure what all information was in there and unfortunately there wasn't much. I would say the stadium should be domed, and very garishly decorated in purple and gold. One important point I would be sure to include would be instead of the typical music that is played between quarters and halftime, Second Line would commission a different local jazz band or performance each game in order to get the Second Line theme and boost the popularity of said artists. It would be good to include a wing of the stadium that is dedicated to the history of New Orleans, it's culture, and music.
As for looks, stadium turf/grass should always be green, but the stands and seatings could be different arrangements of gold and purple. Maybe have a loop around the stadium that could be dedicated to a real Second Line parade that could be the halftime performance.
