Success is in the eye of whoever is experiencing it. Some people are lucky enough to have friends that help them win titles and awards. Other people are unlucky enough to be on teams that award voters hate and refuse to respect even with the information presenting to them. Some people are so good in the game that even though all the various politics that they find themselves in they can still in a freak bit of math and procedure break the entire system in such a way that after years of protest there is finaly a breakthrough to prevent such a happening from happening again. Most people don't find themselves in the same set of circumstances as another person. Most people never experience the same feelings as another person. Most people never know the same story as the people they are spoken of. But everyone experiences things in the league that they can't quite explain or relate to others. This is the measure of success to me. Its the memories of a werid and wacky conversation about milk flavors that gets wildly out of hand. Its the feeling of belonging to a ground that you're proud of being apart of. Its shareing the stories and exchanging the memories with other people that will define success for me in the league.
