(S36) 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 37 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 appropriate 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 upcoming 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.

Maybe I'm biased towards the reigning champions, but I LOVE the Hahalua logo. The Mantaray itself looks amazing but also the extra touch of it jumping through what looks like a lei necklace is very neat. I also really like the Fire Salamanders logo, not only does it look but it gets bonus points for being so unique. I think every logo is pretty good, but if I had to pick a least favorite it would be the Baltimore Hawks for being kinda bland.

I think the whole league is amazing so far everything looks great and there's a lot of nice people. I got WildfireMicro who told me about this league and my GMs Kotasa and Dude_Man who helped me get started. I think my favorite is probably the wiki stuff I haven't seen that in a sim league before

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

My player name is funny. I was a huge wrestling fan growing up and me and my friends decided to make our own wrestlers and I chose Adam Rage. Adam was the name of my favorite baseball player and being young i thought being called “Rage” was cool so I came up with Adam Rage and whenever i come up with a fake person it's my go to.

- Talk about your player number and if it means anything special to you

My number is 10 and is actually baseball related. I played baseball growing up and my favorite MLB player (Adam Lind) wore it so when I started to play I ended up using the number 10 as well. It's also important to me because it was the day i was born

My favorite part of the league so far is the Rookie Tasks, honestly. I've done rookie tasks in other leagues before but these seem to have some different stuff going on, and introduced me to mechanics that make the International Simulation Football League unique. The fact they were split into 2 parts as well was kind of interesting and neat.

- The ISFL has quite a few branding amongst its two leagues. Which branding are your favorite? Which are your least favorite?
My player's name is a rip-off of Trae Waynes, a Cornerback who just retired. I'm not a big NFL follower but I always checked in on Trae Waynes. He and I went to the same church growing up and were in confirmation class together. Seeing him on the big stage was pretty cool and I hope that he is happy and satisfied with his career.

- Talk about what inspired your players name and any meaning behind it
I haven't gotten an opportunity to take a look at a ton of branding in the ISFL or DSFL, but I do enjoy the London Royals branding. The lion is nice and cool, a crisp logo, and the purple color is great. I really like the theming in our Discord locker room ("closed court", "earls", etc) and it's fun to play for an international team as I sit here in Wisconsin.

My favorite part of the league is that you can be different levels of active and still be successful because K/P or OL are rare creates/ in high demand so they don't have to be as active but for skill positions like QB you can shine if you're a max earner. As far as user that helped get me involved/ create a player in the league, the Aviators locker room (PBE team) had a lot of ISFL members like WildfireMicro and Bayley.

- 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?

The experience of creating a player was pretty similar to the PBE, so the experience was fairly intuitive. I do not really have any suggestions as the guide is quite good. The archetype breakdown is also extremely helpful for new users to pick their archetype. The player creator tool is quite good as well

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

Michael Touchback, my player's name, does not have an specific meaning to it, other than keeping consistent with my naming scheme. If you are wondering what my naming scheme is, then it is pretty simple. A somewhat regular first name, and then a last name applicable to the position. This includes names like Hank Stopper (SHL), Nick Fielder (PBE), and now Michael Touchback.

- Talk about your player number and if it means anything special to you

My player's number is no. 9. This does not mean a ton to me, other than it is my "lucky number." What does that mean? No much really. Just means it is the default answer to pick a number between 1 and 10, or a player number in a Sim League (because I'm not athletic enough irl to be on a team)

My favorite part so far is how interactive everyone is. I wasn’t what it was going to be like. I haven’t done anything like this before, so I was shocked how welcoming everyone has been. I have couple friends that brought me in (soevil and reedyornot) who have helped me out, but plenty of other people have also reached out offering to help out.

- 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?
Since I have never done anything like this before, it seemed a little overwhelming. Luckily, I have friends who have been able to help me out and so many people have reached out and offered help, as well. The Rookie pages definitely help and having different videos were great. It all makes sense once you do it for a little bit. Nothing I would change, the community seems more than willing to help if anyone ever has questions.

- The ISFL has quite a few branding amongst its two leagues. Which branding are your favorite? Which are your least favorite?
Most of the logos/team names are unique, which is cool. They aren’t your typical team names that you normally see all the time. If I had to pick a couple favorites, they would be: butchers and salamanders. Least favorites would be the hawks and liberty, just due to simplicity of them.

- Talk about your player number and if it means anything special to you
I have 2 numbers that I have always used when I played sports, 20 and 99. Since I am playing as an offensive line man, I went with 99 as it is more fitting than 20. And I use 20 most of the time, so i thought I would switch it up.

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

My favorite part of the league so far is watching how my player does each week. My player has slowly been performing better and better as each week goes along. I even forced my first turnover in our most recent game and was given the defensive game ball for it. I think Artix has been the biggest help for me so far. I think without his help I would have been even more overwhelmed then I already am.

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 think for the most part the biggest problem with getting started would be how there is so much and it is very overwhelming. Without the help of Artix it would have been almost too much for myself to handle. I watched some videos that were there but they were a little outdated and made it take a while to figure out where the thing that they were talking about was now. Maybe an updated version of that video that also takes it a little slower would be very helpful.
