Tier 2: Short Form Tasks (Each must be 300+ words)
8. In 300 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
I’d never even heard of sim leagues before my friend Parky mentioned it. He and I have been friends for decades now in real life as well in a couple long-standing fantasy football leagues. I’ve been into D&D my whole life, so the idea of combining the stats and knowledge of football with some role-playing sounded pretty interesting. The cast of characters is diverse in this league and I’ve already had numerous chuckles at the memes and trash-talk shenanigans on the server.
As a Seahawks fan, our notorious under-investment in offensive linemen led me to start in the trenches, wanting to protect my quarterback and make lanes for running plays. I love having pancakes as my main results metric!
I only got to play a few games before last season ended, but watching dot-ball and following along in the realtime chat has become a great after-work wind down. I hope to make more impact in the coming season and am curious to see if the team I end up on needs me as an offensive lineman or at another position. Despite loving pancakes, I imagine it’s fun to have more statistics to count like catches or broken plays or, heck, even touchdowns. Has there been a Mike Vrabel-style linebacker who’s lined up at tight end for surprising scoring formations? I don’t know, I’m new, though I’d guess somebody’s probably done it in one of these FIFTY(!) seasons!
It was exciting to be picked up off of waivers and even more so to be courted, I mean scouted, by multiple teams leading up to my first draft. I’ve heard about some of the thought and preparation that goes into the draft, and its attendant spectacle, and can’t wait to see the output of all of that hard work and enthusiasm.
I’m still trying to wrangle some of the more confusing elements and even some of the simple ones: beware the Confurius counting failures. I promise I know how to count and how to use Discord. I guess it’s just combining the two that makes it hard for me.
Tier 3: Written/Graphics Tasks (Each must be either 150+ words or a graphic)
21. Graphic Option: Create the cover art for your player’s show.

31. Make up an award for your player (or even someone else) to win for something not on the football field. (Written)
TMosura Award for Bad Counting
Confurius is excellent at following the hard count but not so good at actual counting. Whether it’s trying to count while socially distracted at a party, or trying to count too early in the day, Confurius has been confounded by counting. He keeps practicing on his own, counting everything from cars to cards to cardinals, hoping that his next counting mistake will be in ordering milkshakes and cheesesteaks, not ruining high stakes streaks. Taking breaks might mitigate the errors he makes, but it’s hard for him to wait when there are salaries at stake. He’ll hold this humble award proudly until he’s able to overcome his numerical challenges and some other player takes over as TMosura’s spiritual descendant. In the meantime, his admission of addition remission will remain a scarlet number on his pride, keeping him intellectually humble as defensive lines crumble before him in the upcoming season.
