Task 8 (300 words+): I would have to say that my expierence in the league in the last few weeks has been exceptional. Right off the bat, I was introduced to VERY friendly Discord mods, who essentially told me everything that I needed to know. But, there are also a bunch of Mods/GMs also lurking in our Prospect Bowl team chats, and were more than willing to jump in and engage with our chatting! So, I have actually started a realtionship with some of the rookie Mods! Also, meeting a bunch of players themselves in that Prospect Bowl who are all draft elgible has been amazing - a bunch of people who I now have a good realtionship with as we enter the S41 draft.
I should also note that since I enjoy doing lots of media (power rankings, Stock up - Stock down) I am in constant communication with other players getting feedback about guys to look out for, or guys to scout for my media pieces. There is also a ton of draft chatter, potentially harsh words, and mock drafts being posted - which have basically made the entire draft process extremely entertaining. I think thats what makes the expierence of this league so good, is the massive influx of new talent for this draft, it seems to be bigger than usual which has raised the bar for the competition, and created friends and rivals in the process. I have been satisfied with my player so far, he has played great in (nearly) all of the prospect games, so should live up the draft pedigree. I should add that there is tons of lead-up to the draft itself, lots of dialogue with GMs/Scouts/Others and it can defintely be a lot, but that does not make it bad! It's always a great time speaking with dozens of different teams, getting a sense of where they are at and what they are looking for. Can make the entire process very exciting!
Task 15 (300+ Words): If I could create a team using any active players in the league, I would defintely go off the normal path and make an absolute group of high volume media guys and jokesters. Listen, I think if you ask this question to everyone in the league, 99% of people would go for the loaded team option. You know, the best QB, best HB, and just absolutely crush the compeition. But you know what? I admit I have never made it to the ISFL, but I have to imagine there is a level of ego with these players and that potentially offsets the dominance. But you know what would be hilarious and fun? I would create a team full of all the players that I have met through the draft process (which is a massive number since this rookie class is what, 11 rounds?) and put a team together. This draft class has tons of players who love media (myself included) and we could grab an elite K/P and an elite QB and just a bunch of vibes-only players (good or not). This would allow for an amazing locker room expierence, and in turn I would follow that up with a special podcast for that season with those group of guys. I think having a great locker room in some instances can even be more entertaining than winning the championship, and I think the bond that you would share with this made-up team would be immaculate. Any sim league turns into a different envionment when you enjoy, on a personal level, the guys that you play with, regardless of outcome. Now, I said I wanted an Elite QB and P/K for a reason, just so we dont lose 30-0 every game
I have been in other sim leagues where this kind of thing happened naturally, and I would encourage players who have not had this expierence to give it a shot, you may just find yourself having more fun than when you did "Dominating the league".
