8. 8. I'm not going to lie. It was a rough start for me in the beginning. Coming over from PBE, I had a great grasp on the TPE system, and I enjoy these types of games immensely. However, the formatting and style used in the ISFL was like that old meme. They had us in the first half. They were a struggle to get used to. I even told the people scouting me I was probably going to discontinue my activity here. Several of the people who had contacted me encouraged me to stay and I am glad they did. I was able to start catching on to the different way the TPE is recorded as opposed to PBE and got involved in the Rookie Discord. That place is insane! We have had a great time, laughing about everything from Jerry Springer to me being the "old man" of the server. The GMs and mentors have had their hands full in the Discord. The trash talk has been entertaining and, for the most part, done in good fun. The chaperones, as I'll call them, have done a great job of making sure it never gets too personal. The mentors were also very good at teaching us other tricks to the game. Like how much willeh loves haiku. Good on willeh for being a good sport about it. Draft hype was also an enjoyable time. The GMs and mentors had us all excited about Draft Night. The only bad thing for me about Draft Night was being at work when it took place but that's just how the dice rolls sometimes. Watching the replay and hearing the Tijuana War Room wanted Civvy to make a fart joke on stream told me I am on the team I need to be on. Now that we are on our teams, I have to say, I'm gonna miss our crazy Rookie Class.
