Welcome back to another season of ISFL Football. This Point Task is Simple, Say something nice about another user or users who have made the ISFL more enjoyable for you.

The first user that jumps to mind to call out as having helped me is Amidships. Amid's always been generally helpful and great to talk to, but specifically helped lay out my build plan for cornerback when I changed positions. My previous player was a DE and my initial recreate was too, so I didn't really put any time into researching what order I should build different stats or the tradeoffs or look into which archetype was best. Amid took the time to type up both a summarized plan and then also multiple paragraphs explaining why each of those decisions made sense at that point in the build. This work was a huge convenience for me that helped speed up transitioning into the new position and also freed up more of my time to write articles rather than having to try and figure out the stats myself. And beyond that, I think it's been really important in helping my player to become a contributing and helpful player on the Copperheads' defense and a useful guide for multiple seasons to come.

I highly appreciate @negs for being kind and understanding as I struggled with activity over recent months. He has stayed nothing but gracious with me over my journey with this player, even with a lot of unknowns. Having known Negs for a while now, I am proud of him for the person he has grown into. I think he represents the best that the ISFL has to offer, especially as GM. He balances an interest in tactics and bringing wins to Philly with creating a fun locker room that values the interests of his players. I’ve seen far too many users in this league that prioritize one over the other, and the magic of this league comes from when you have both. It was a sure thing for a while before, but I don’t think we could’ve had anyone better to replace Pat and Cody’s tenure. I’m not sure how much longer Negs wants to GM, but it’s going to be very hard to fill those shoes.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to the rookie mentor team. DSFL is the first experience a user has with the league, and if wasn't for the RM team and the work they put in day in and out, we wouldn't be having good retention rates. All the mentors are available and always happy to answer questions and keep the DSFL discord engaged and entertaining.

This is task is awesome! Let's get some shoutouts going.

@firstfray has been such a pleasure to both meet and spend more time around in KC. He's always willing to help out new players, and is quick to answer any question with a well thought out answer. On top of that, him and @Rusfan made my first full season of DSFL play an absolute blast during game day. Our LR was poppin. Thanks guys, it was awesome to be a part of.

@Kotasa I know you've been pinged many times already, but that's a testament to the impact you've made around the league. Thank you for showing me the ropes when I was a wee lad, and curating such a fantastic LR in TIJ. Just amazing stuff across the board.

@soevil Always keeps things interesting, and has been nothing but fun everywhere I've gone. You have made me laugh out loud with your twitter posts, and specific shoutout to you and @AnUnoriginalGuy for your ICONIC Shazam Hefner episode, that was a great read. Love the energy!

@124715 Shout out to Numbers for being such a good dude, always a pleasure to talk to and a great presence in the KC LR. Appreciate you!

@Jaywe88 Mr. Dobbler deserves another ping in this thread because a) of course he does b) what an infectious locker room presence plus great addition to the league both in personality and content, and c) I can't pass up an opportunity to put another ping in his inbox when he is so deserving. Anyways you do great work, appreciate you boss.

I think the nicest dude in the ISFL is my friend, teammate and in character brother @NamelessNate If it wasn’t for him coming up with the idea for these players that we are doing right now I probably wouldn’t have come back to ISFL until later if ever. Now we are having a friendly competition to see which one of our players ends up being the best player in this draft class which has made this player more fun to play and has kept me motivated to earn every TPE I can get my grubby little paws on. Outside of ISFL we can be found in discord voice chats most nights and end up iracing with each other on most nights as well even if we aren’t that great at it but it’s still cool to have someone that can share a hobby with and it makes iRacing more enjoyable even when I have been wrecking out of 15 out of 18 races this week.

@DREAMSLOTH 
You are by far one of the best Head Office members. You're a pretty good Running Back, next to me. However, one can't deny you ARE a good Running Back. You are as well, one of the best players to communicate with and see on game streams! 

@SchwarzNarr
You are one of the best members I've met since having been introduced to Colorado Yeti's locker room. Thank you for being a great positive enforcement in the league. I love Murder Moose and was glad I got to play with Moosey before he retired, it was a good season. 

@SwankyPants31
Hey Swanty, thank you for being an AMAZING GM. You are good at meeting contracts and have continued to provide a safe community for me to somewhat thrive in. May LiveLaughLove thrive on for many more seasons. All your decisions are well respected and understood. You always do what's best for the team and thank you for that. May we win the Cup one day. 

@Painted
You were one of the few GREAT GMs I met in the DSFL. Thank you for providing a safe space for me in Minnesota! I haven't offered you a strawberry in a while, I hope you are doing good! You are also one of the positive enforcers I've personally communicated with, thank you so much for all you've done!

There are so many more individuals that have made a good impact on influencing me to still stay in the league. Thank you all, especially those who go every day striving to provide a positive environment for each and every one of us. You are very much appreciated!

I'd like to thank abh and Fronk for being my GMs, they help me stay active and they are very good at their jobs, Sarasota has always been one of the most consistent teams when it comes to winning, and because of that, I always feel like I have a chance to win an Ultimus, which is my main goal for my player.

Maglubiyet is also really cool, they do a lot of sim tests and I copy basically all my predictions from them.

Painted, Repgnar, domffl, Zayn, TwoSocks, and the rest of the Minnesota locker room are great people, it's where I spend most of my time since the server is really active, even though I'm not on the Ducks anymore, I still feel like a member of the Ducks.

I'd also like to thank the ISFL ToS community (including Bayley, omgitshim, mithrandir, and others) for organizing such a cool server, and spending their time to help create a game that I love.

I feel that @Pvtpenne deserves my shout out

Penne joined the San Jose Sabercats towards the end of my first ISFL career and immediately made an impact on me. Penne won over my heart by being a really funny guy who was also always hyped for the cats even when we were not performing at the highest level. By the time he joined I was thinking I would be a 1 career and done player in the ISFL but having some fun and seeing a new invigorated user allowed me to see what really made this league special. Even though you enjoyed calling my player Zach GetCaughtsley I really appreciate how your energy pulled me back into caring about the sim league and loving San Jose. Without you the meme of Booter McGavin may never have been made. Hopefully Booter has a more successful career than GetCaughtsley and we can celebrate some wins together in the future.

@SwankyPants31: I have to give you one of the biggest thank yous of all time. Colorado is and was my greatest love in this league, and between my need to leave as well as our suddenly opening, you came in and stepped up flawlessly. You've brought an energy to GMing and to the locker room that we needed for leadership, and I am so forever thankful not only for what you've done to help engage our newest Yetis, but also in bringing people like Below into the league and our locker room too. You are hands down one of the best GMs I've ever encountered in sim leagues, and I am so forever appreciative of the work and effort you bring to our home. May we Live, Laugh, and Love forever in Denver.

Also obligatory thank you to @woelkers for everything you've done lately in helping me want to stick around and come back. You're one of my best friends.
