When the question of favorite locker room/Discord bot comes up, there is really only 1 answer in the ISFL. It’s WolfieBot, full stop. It has been an incredibly useful tool from the moment it was rolled out and streamlined how we access so many of the day-to-day components of the league. You want bank balances? It’s got it. You want Fantasy Scores? It’s got it. You want to know if you already posted this week’s Activity Check? It’s got it. Previously, we had various bots that performed a few of the functions that WolfieBot provides today, but even those purpose-built bots were often less efficient or more difficult to read than the data WolfieBot provides. I’m not much of a coder myself, but I know enough about it to realize that a good deal of work went into creating this bot to make the league just a bit more enjoyable for all of us. I am very thankful for Infinite and all of the time he puts into the league. It’s a much better place with him here.

There is the obvious choice of wolfiebot, the bot who can do many things league related. But it is not my favorite bot. My favorite bot is one that is in many servers. This bot is counting. There is something about working with others to get to a high number that brings a sense of community to those involved. It also tells you who messed up, and where they messed up, so you know exactly who to be mad at for messing up a count. There are some memories I have of the counting bot that I will now share. Back in the summer of 2020, someone messed up the count in the London Royals locker room. I worked with them to get it back to 100. I later went back and forth with someone else to get to 1000. That count has remained intact to this day, and is currently at 22387 as of 4 minutes ago.
MVB of the season for me is just simple MEE6. It’s nice to know that arguing with Oles in the football talk and rant section can get me paid. Before the change, discord activity felt like a side piece of the league sometimes but now it’s a profitable venture. Edd and Lane can run up their bank accounts by constantly talking. Oles can make a check by saying the most batshit insane takes you’d ever hear. Frost can make a living defending his garbage player. Along with MEE6, wolfiebot does so much work for the league it’s unbelievable. Everything with wolfie is so convenient. It makes it easy to write media, perform your tasks, check up on your players, argue, and more. The league wouldn’t be where it is without the contributions of the random bots we have floating around and MEE6/wolfiebot form a dynamic duo that carries the league on their backs.
Thank you to @enigmatic, @Kyamprac, @mithrandir, @Mooty99, and @Number 82 for some of the sigs in this rotator.
Even with being a longtime member of the ISFL I find it very easy for me to forget my given tasks and end up missing out on the simplest tasks like "Activity Checks" but thanks to the wolfieBot introduced to me in the Buccaneers locker room I don't have to experience that anymore. With a couple of clicks and a user fetch the bot comes back with a full detail of my user profile with a green check or red x to indicate what I have done and what I need to do. In addition to that though it also pulls up my total balance so I can save time and avoid searching for my profile on the bank section, details of my player and my current team, total tpe amount, player archetype, and I also see when I last updated to let me know if I'm slacking with those overall. In the end tho the WolfieBot is the goat I can hit it up a couple of times and be on track every week.
During my time in the ISFL dating back to February of 2019, there have been a lot of changes and advancements in the convenience of being an ISFL user. One of those advancements were the inventions of discord bots. There have been a whole bunch like bank bots which tell you exactly how much money you currently have at your disposal in your bank account. There are fantasy football bots who don't only show your team, but also your ranking in a group, available free agents and your place overall in the league as a whole. My absolute favorite bot has to be one made be infinite, one of the best users on this site. This bot combines all the info multiple bots had into one bot. It shows what PTs you need to catch up on this week, your money in your bank account, current TPE, last time you logged into the site and a whole lot more.
