(S34) Late Joiner Thread

(S34) Late Joiner TPE Thread
The Late Joiner TPE system in place to help users that create their player after Ultimus, catch up on TPE missed during the Season. How this will work is, there will be 6 prompts, 1 for each week post-Ultimus. Which will each be worth 7 TPE and you must write at least 50 words per prompt. The amount of prompts that you are allowed to complete will correspond with the week of your player's creation. This is only open for players entering the Season 35 ISFL Draft.

To get this graded, a PPT Team Member will go through and edit your post, either approving or denying it, and once that has happened, you may link it to your update thread for the appropiate amount of TPE. There is no partial TPE for a prompt, so you must reach the minimum word count to get the 7 TPE for that week.

Prompts:
- What is your favorite part of the league so far and are there any users that have really helped you get involved?
- As a newly created player, was the experience intuitive? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve the experience of getting started in our league?
- Write a letter to any perspective GMs that may be interested in picking you up in the upcomong draft(or waivers). What makes you stand out?
- The ISFL has quite a few branding amongst its two leagues. Which branding are your favorite? Which are your least favorite?
- Talk about what inspired your players name and any meaning behind it
- Talk about your player number and if it means anything special to you

In your response, make sure to include your player page to confirm when you created your player.

I'm going to be a solid pick in my upcoming draft class. I won't be number 1 (and shouldn't be). I'm not going to HO, or a GM, or even the maxest earner. But I'm going to do all my PT's and Trainings and be a solid piece for many seasons to come.

Code:
- The ISFL has quite a few branding amongst its two leagues. Which branding are your favorite? Which are your least favorite?

My favorite branding is the Austin Copperheads. That sageish green color is fresh. Least favorite branding is Berlin Fire Salamanders and the Orange County Otters. Definitely don't think of Salamanders when I think of Germany, also are there even Otters in Orange County? The Honolulu Hahalua have some nice colors too.

- The ISFL has quite a few branding amongst its two leagues. Which branding are your favorite? Which are your least favorite?

Just looking through the brandings, there are a couple that immediately stand out to me, these being the brandings of the Austin Copperheads, the Baltimore Hawks, and the Sarasota Sailfish. I like how these brandings are quite simple, yet stand out due to their colors and defined outlines. Especially the latter two, the Hawks and the Sailfish, really look nice and clean. Between these two I would have to go for the Sarasota Sailfish branding, because the colors are very fresh and I love the light blue with white, and then the green line.
As for least favorite, I have to go for one of the more busy brandings, such as that of the Arizona Outlaws, New Orleans Second Line or Berlin Fire Salamanders. When I take a closer look at them they are pretty solid brandings, but the simplicity of the other brandings just stands out to me way more. I do really like the colors of the Second Line tho, the blue and white combo again.

- Talk about what inspired your players name and any meaning behind it

My player’s name is a musician who I’ve become very fond of. I can’t specifically describe the genre of music, but it’s essentially experimental electronic music that calls to mind Aphex Twin. I had a few potential ideas in mind for my new player’s name, and when the time came I began to overthink the decision. I felt dumb for feeling so much pressure to create the perfect dot football name, so instead I just looked to the music I had on. I haven’t regretted the decision, and I’ve been able to talk about the musician a few times since then!

So my players name is Queen Elizabeth II which wasn’t actually my choice as I put the rights to my players name and render up for auction in the most recent charity drive. This name was chosen as I’m not the biggest fan of the royal family but I’m happy to have the name as the money spent to get the rights to it are going to a great cause.

1. What is your favorite part of the league so far and are there any users that have really helped you get involved?

I used to be a GM in this league. I met a lot of people both in the DSFL and ISFL. Ended up getting my first warzone win with my old DSFL GM. I had some good times and some not so good times. Being a GM you deal with a LOT of drama. Its also a lot of work running a team. I'd say my favorite part now is just being a player and getting the full support of my Tijuana team coaching staff. They give me the same support I tried to give my guys. Its so much more relaxing just focusing on TPE and getting my own shit done. Don't gotta worry about one of my players accidentally "poaching" another player from another team.

I took a look at the record book before making a player and I saw that no player has ever hit 2000 yards in a season in the ISFL. I want to be the first. That means earning as much TPE as I can and joining a team that has deep passing as a focus of the offense. If that sounds like your cup of tea, come find me.

- The ISFL has quite a few branding amongst its two leagues. Which branding are your favorite? Which are your least favorite?
The fire salamanders have a logo that really pops, but something about Honolulu's logo is really appealing as well. Maybe it's the fact the Rams just won the Superbowl that I have that in mind, but it just has a nice aesthetic. The Yeti logo looks kinda lame, and the elongated one doesn't really have a semblance of a yeti. The Second Line needs like an outline or something around their band.

- Talk about what inspired your players name and any meaning behind it
It started as a silly name I used as a Madden created manager for connected franchises, but his first name was Lee. I modified it a little bit to be a bit more of a pun, to work with the Farfetch'd image. I was going to make the player the pokemon, but it seems more ridiculous to make him the leek.

I was completely lost at first and had people telling me I picked the wrong position. I didn't know what to make of that, until one of the KCC GMs messaged me and explained it. Amadan was great in explaining how it all works, and FirstFray is the reason I learned about this opportunity. Its nice to have such helpful GMs.

- As a newly created player, was the experience intuitive? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve the experience of getting started in our league?

I needed a lot of help to begin. I've a short attention span, so I was almost ready to quit until I got some help. I understand it's not easy, but it would be nice if someone could make a single sheet or app that handled all the tasks and training, stuff like that. A one stop shop for all your needs.

4 promts 28 tpe please

1. I really like the idea of playing as a kicker who is a soccer player. I think it'll be fun to pretend he retired to play football. I havne not spoken to many people yet but Amaddan was the first to message me and helped me get set up. I also ended up on his team.

2. it was not intuitive but it was easy enoigh to follow step by step thanks to the message I got when i first signed up. I think the name was yongsaurus? he gave me list of things to do. i dont think i have any suggestions. maybe make it so i don't have to type so much? haha :wink:

4. I dont know other branding but i do like purple coyote team kansas. I watched them play against a team with a submarine logo today which was pretty cool too. since i only know two of them i don't think it will be fair to say which one i like least. i like both.

5. My family are dutch and love the dutch soccer team. I had to choose between many options but I think Ruud van Nistelrooy made the best option because of his accuracy. I wanted to choose accuracy over power and he seemed like a great choice to make. he was good at penalties so maybe also a good nfl kicker.

1. My favorite part of this player so far is going to the Bondi Beach Buccaneers where for the first time I will get to be Evok’s teammate even though I’m in 3 leagues with her. She’s even my GM in SHL but my player has never actually gotten to play with her player so I think that’s really cool.

2. Dear ISFL GM’s. I'm writing this to you because I know how to build an offensive lineman I know that strength is very very important and that is what I'm going to jam into this player so I will be good right off the bat even with a minimal of amount of tpe by the time they draft comes around.

3. This one's pretty simple for me my last player played for London and Arizona so I think that they are the two best brandings in the league I was able to on my last player create paint schemes for them for iRacing and they both turned out really good. I still think my favorite one of them is the one in Royals with the gold and the not really black it's like a really dark grey but its overall pretty sweet.

4. I know you remember how I came up with this name to be honest with you it's a one I used in another Sim Football League And I went with it because as an offensive lineman you're always in the trenches and you're going to war with the defense line so it's not super original but I think it is pretty cool nonetheless.

5. The number on this player doesn't really mean anything to me it's not like I want to 75 like this in my name I just picked this number because it happens to be the number of the player render then I'm going with so I just wanted to make graphics kind of is easy as possible for people when they make something for the draft.
