7. This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S36 class and later. In 300 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
Joining this league so far feels like one of the best decisions I've made of 2022. I know that seems somewhat over the top, and it might be, but everyone in this community so far has been incredibly welcoming and always available to answer any questions I've had at any time. In the Rookie discord, it's somewhat hard to really pick one person that's been amazing, but I will say people like ZootTx and RussDrivestheBus have been particularly helpful and knowledgable, but it really is everyone in that server that is supportive. Even some of the newer players like Voxaroth have been super helpful, anytime I was unsure what I was missing, I could use their start as a template for my own to figure out how to gain more TPE and also what I should be doing to further myself as a player in the league.
In addition, meeting all of the GMs from the DSFL teams has been great! I got to talk with every single one of them and it did legitimately feel like I was going through a recruiting process which felt very cool. Lordcoolcats and The Hammer were definitely some of the more enthusiastic to meet me and getting to talk to them about the league and what the process would look like was really great to open my eyes to how it works (not saying the rest of you weren't also great because you were).
I can't really say what it's like to be drafted yet cause I have to write this tonight since I don't know if I'll have time on the weekend to do so, but the leadup has been amazing! I think that you all have done an amazing job of making the offseason still somewhat involved so that people who join at the end of the season aren't left to wander and never return, so definitely keep up the amazing work.
I really have no notes on how to improve, at least at this moment, y'all are killing it!

16. This task is exclusive to recreate/non-recreate rookies of the S37 class and later. The season is over and the draft is coming up. What do you bring to a team, and why should a team choose to take a chance on you next season? (Written Task)
Obviously everyone who comes into the league puts in at least a certain amount of work in order to make their player great, but I truly want to make my player into one of the league greats, at least in terms of O-lineman, or if I move positions then that one. I'm someone who tends to want to disconnect from reality into fake worlds, which is probably why I love D&D so much as well, and the ISFL is perfect for that. You can fully expect me to be involved essentially every day in some form or fashion, especially in whatever locker room I end up in, and I will be there to grow the team unity as best as I can. When you draft me, you will be getting someone who is committed to making their player and their team the greatest in the league season in and season out.

26. Football is a game that has been going on for a while, loved by fans all over. But what if you were able to make some rule changes? Talk us through your new version of football, and what would be different and why? (Written Task)
Personally, I think Jon Bois got it right when he wrote 17776, that is what football should look like. Or at least, to an extent. We should have different versions like rugby does. For example, we should have a version of football that happens across the entire state of Nebraska, because honestly, what else is happening in Nebraska? Nothing, exactly, but we can make it such that one team gets the ball for as long as they can hold it and then once they turn it over, the day is over and the teams pick it back up the next day with the other team gaining possession. We can have a set number of days to score for the win, or first team to score wins. It would be the most insane thing ever, and probably boring to watch at all times, but if you tune in at the right time it would be the craziest shit.
