(S38) PT #4 - Index Appreciation Week

[Skindog44]

PT #4

Wow who needs an ego boost this week. Oh the index team not getting enough love so they want a whole week of PT for people to talk about how great they are? Ok fine.. the index is great. Its where I go to feel better about my player being a 1000 TPE player and leading the league in Tackles for loss going for that sweet sweet number 20 this week. The problem though Is I don’t see on the index anywhere that shows an all-time season leader in tackles for loss. I see that sacks and ints get all the love here but what about the tackle for loss? I mean that’s super important too right.. Maybe not but since I’m leading Id like it too lol . .. Well I guess I’ll just lean onto that lead for tackles. Lol here’s the deal I really really really want to be in the conversation for defensive MVP ive had a long career and vie busted my butt. So maybe the index will be used this year and the guys with the stats will be in the convo…. I can only hope. Lol

People have been screaming about it to Oasis for years. Yet, he never understood what it meant. Fancy graphs and people playing little fantasy point games for tiny amounts of money. Pft. A total waste of time and productivity. That is, until his agent, Agent I. Torrent called him and asked if he'd seen his stats and realize his upcoming payday. So Haloick Oasis asked Mrs. Oasis to log onto the AOL so he could view this famous index. That's when he understood the power of it all. Oasis was not aware that he currently has a DSFL leading 77 tackles and is tied for 3rd in tackles for loss. Nor was he aware that he leads the league in forced fumbles and fumble recoveries with a strong 4/2. He also noticed that he's 1 sack away from 3rd place on the current list. All of these things were new to rookie Oasis, but he likes them. He has vowed to himself to pay more attention to something that displays him so favorably. The best part of the index is his place on it!

The index is one of my favorite parts of the league. I usually do not have the time to check out the games themselves living on the west coast and still working at the time, so waiting for the index and then checking all the stats and scores has become a great pastime for me. "When index?" always rings the halls in Berlin after a game even if I have no direct influence when it's being updated but saying it alone makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The great thing about the index? I would say it is that I can check my stats and compare my player to the others. And also check out past seasons to see if my earning and upping my TPE has any direct effect on my play. Or if in the end it is all just random numbers generated that correlate to a dot doing football adjacent things.

I don't pay enough attention to specific players these days to speak to any awards races or anything like that, but one thing I have always appreciated the index for is the historical records going all the way back to season 1. This comes particularly in handy when I'm putting together cards for Dotts for the Ultimus series and I'm trying to figure out old player stats because I'm always behind lol (sorry Dotts fans). But it's also just nice to be able to look back and see, first of all, how player stats have kind of shifted between the different sim eras, and second of all, who was playing where during what seasons. Really helps to jog my memory on who I shared a roster with, who I GM'd, and that kind of thing too when we get all nostalgic and talk about random memories in the league from back when I was a little more engaged.

The Index has been a staple of the ISFL community for literal years. There is nothing as authoritative to every aspect of this glorious league as the all-powerful index. It houses every stat from every season that the ISFL has had (even from the old sim engine!). I appreciate many things about the index, namely its ability to equalize all people who fall within it's realm of influence. There is no differentiation based on any out-of-sim equity. The index is the final word on value and there is nothing you can do about it. One could spend all of the TPE possible to make their player as much of a difference on their side of the ball as possible, but if the index declares that player useless, it shall be so. I thank those brave, dedicated souls who update the index multiple times a week. They endure through dozens of "index?", "where's the index?", "update?", and (my personal favorite) "whendex?" to bring a quality file to us each and every match day. Bless you, index workers. And may the Index grant you favor.

All glory to the glorious index! I love looking at the index and once in a while I'll find a completely new stat I've never seen before. I'd like to share some of my favorite stats I've found, if... y'know.. that's okay with you. First off, Known Acquaintance, the kick for the Berlin Fire Salamanders, has not missed a single kick so far this season. I hope I don't jinx him by saying he's made more than 50 kicks without missing, including 4 FGs greater than or equal to 50 yards. Seeing who has made the longest field goal each season is pretty fun too. This season Double Doink made a 60 yarder, pretty impressive. I absolutely looking at my player page and see my own growth over the last few seasons.  Personal records are meant to be broken and it's just another thing to make watching the games more entertaining. I love seeing where I rank among other players in my position too.

I wish stats from individual games were easier to track. Attempting use google sheets formula importhtml does not provide actual table information when using specific game index links. All the game stats appear as source code names rather than like a copy paste values only. It make my work with casino a whole lot easier to complete if that was the case. Example pulling the Week 5 game between Philadelphi and yellowknife i get "Offensive POG: {{boxscore.oPOG}} Defensive POG: {{boxscore.dPOG}}” rather than Offensive POG: Kumquat Archipelago - RB (YKW): 17 att, 72 yds, 1 TD Defensive POG: Doc Fireball - LB (PHI): 6 Tck, 1 Sck, 1 FF. If the import html actually worked i believe it would save me a solid hour each week when putting together 6 For Tier 6 questions. That is my only real complaint about the index. Everything else is absolutley amazing is easily one of the best parts of the league that stats for every single game is recorded. So if anyone reads this and knows how to get around this problem please let me know. I would really appreciate the info.

There are multiple things that I find interesting about the index. However, the most interesting thing I like to keep tabs on is the records page, where we can find records for various statistics for the team and the league. It is interesting to check if you have broken a team or even a league record. The other thing I like to check from week to week is my players render. Every week, a new render of myself will appear on my players index page and I like to compare the stark contrasts that exist between each week on what the sim thinks my player looks like. I also like to use the index to keep track of standings between my team and other fellow wide receivers and see where I line up statswise. This also helps me size up my competition and see where I can put in the most work. Overall, the index is very helpful for a variety of reasons.
