(S47) PT #1 - Remember Me for Centuries

[PurplePiratePoo]

I will say a very memorable moment in my ISFL career was my very first season ever. I was on the Norfolk squad that went on to win the Ultimini. This was such a fun season because we weren't hard favorites to win the whole thing, if I remember correctly lol. So being able to go in and have an underdog story had the whole locker room so hyped. It was such a great team and atmosphere which definitely helped me stay interested in the league. I know I'll always have a soft spot for the Seawolves because of that season. Another fond memory I have from my time in the ISFL would be my couple of seasons with the Sabercats. I learned from those guys that its not always about the dots that we watch on the screen but its also about the users behind those dots. They definitely made me realize how much more this league could be than just fake football.

Ace's most important memory in the league so far was his first appearance in an Ultimus in Season 45. The Sailfish would go on to lose in heartbreaking fashion in overtime to the Copperheads by just three points. Despite the heartbreak, this Ultimus appearance would solidify what Ace needs to do to keep his name near the top of the league. Ultimately, the goal is a spot in the Hall of Fame. While an Ultimus win early on in his career would've been a nice start on his climb to the top, in that defeat, it ignited a hunger in him that would drive him forward on the field and off as he pushes himself to the best player and teammate he can possibly be. Off the field, Ace is seeking to continue adding to the preservation of the league's history by researching and recording seasons past to make sure that the wonderful history of the league is there for future generations of players.

Honestly, the most fondest memories I have in regards to the league are mostly my beginning in it. Getting drafted to KCC after spending hours upon hours crafting Felix Archstone, becoming best friends with Butters and Star, becoming GM of KCC, drafted in the first round, and then also importantly, winning GMOTY and the Ultimini as GM of Bondi Beach. There's a lot of really cool stuff I've gotten to experience in this league, as well as a lot of real life stuff I've got to experience because of it too. And heck, thanks to the league I've been playing town of salem with a lot of the guys on a weekly basis too which has been an absolute blast and something I look forward to constantly. If it wasn't for the league, I can't even imagine what I would have been doing instead of all the hyping, GMing, and hanging out I've done because of it. HERE'S TO ANOTHER 50 YEARS, ISFL

I originally entered the league all the way back in the legendary Season 15 draft class with my running back Apollo Reed, and while I have had many recreates since, no locker room has been able to click with me quite like how my seasons with the Norfolk Seawolves and the Orange County Otters did. Even though our season was unsuccessful in our chase for the Ultimini, I will never forget that season, or my running mate, Dorfus Jimbo. I was drafted and a member of the Orange County Otters that very next season where I made the pro bowl as a rookie. With Orange County, I had the privilege to play with legendary players like Franklin Armstrong, Sunnycursed, Alex D, Johnny Blaze, and Thorian Skarsgard. However, the high point of all of it was our three season long dynasty over the Ultimus Bowl, even if I had to share the running back room with Charles Allan and Corey Trevor, a pair of inactives who I still curse to this day.

I took a break, so it’s kinda hard for me to think of recent memories in the league. However, for me, one of the best memories in my time as Derrick Prince would have to be when the Crash won the Ultimus in Season 41, for a variety of reasons. For one, it was a fantastic benchmark for a team that had struggled since the time I was drafted, and winning it not only seemed like the cherry on top, but the whole damn sundae. Another reason the Crash’s Ultimus win really stuck out to me was the vibes in the Crash locker room. Huge characters like JHM and Negs helped bring a certain aura to the CTC Discord that I don’t think can ever be matched by any Ultimus team. Lastly, you get to win an Ultimus, and it’s pretty awesome to look in my profile and see “Ultimus winner” in the awards section.

Another highlight (or, lowlight) in my eyes was Bondi Beach’s 0-14 season, mostly because it was fun making graphics for the team as Twitter manager (which I loved, and I think the ISFL HO should really consider bringing it back for funsies). Much like the CTC discord, the vibes towards being winless seemingly were amplified as well, and it was a funny moment for us in history. I’m gonna regret that being a stain on my very short GM record, but it was still a fun time. It also told me never to be a GM.

Greg's history in the league has been extremely short so far. Just recently drafted by the Ducks, and a very promising career ahead of him, hopefully. So instead I'll talk about my own history in the league. I'll never forget my first player, Nacho Varga. I had no idea what I was doing and randomly saw the post on Reddit. Didn't think too much of it even after I created my player, but I found the league discord and met some cool people and kind of took off from there. While Nacho didn't ever have any playoff success to speak of, he ended up setting the receiving TD record for the Liberty at the time, and played there for almost all of his career if I remember correctly. I've had a few other players with varying levels of success, but Nacho will always have a special place in my league memories. Hopefully Greg can add a few of his own.

Holy cow bag man! 50 seasons of this league is absolutely insane, I think my best memories are from my first season ever and my first DSFL draft. I remember finding the league by accident and almost going IA really fast because I did not really understand how any of it worked lol. But I had some pretty awesome GMs in painted and Icebear to help me stay in it and it’s been amazing. A highlight I have was my time being the GM of minny with twosocks and Hudz. I absolutely had a blast even though we didn’t win a mini it was perfect. After having painted and Icebear bring me back from IA land I realized how important DSFL GMs are and knew I wanted to give that a shot. My next highlight is going to be my time in the copperheads war room. I loved everyone there and scouting and drafting was a blast with them.

The favorite memory for Kyle Crane, would be the draft for him (Specifically for the New Orleans Second Line). It was a pretty loaded and crazy draft, with so many future legends being drafted, many being his friends. Dub Redd, Ezra Azazel (Legendary for getting burned on go routes), and Benji Aguilera. Crane wanted to go first round, but from his agent and the scouts, he most likely was going second round, maybe even 3rd due to RB being seen as not sought after (Even though he was the top RB prospect by a mile). He also knew most likely, he was going either to the New Orleans Second Line, or the Colorado Yeti. But, in the second round, he was drafted to the Second Line, along with the star defensive line standout and DL GOAT Bruce White, along with his teammate from Tijuana, Ezra Azazel (Famous for getting torched in Tijuana). Being called up in the second round was exactly where he thought was going, but still felt great about being an absolute steal

I've been around for quite a long time, since Season 2 to be exact. Because of this, I have so much experience with the league, I've managed multiple teams, created multiple teams, seen chaos from teams that weren't expected to do anything, and seen dynasties rise and fall. One of my fondest memories will always be the S2 draft though, the Liberty and Legion (rip both teams) had the expansion draft and now it was time for the rookies. Being new to the league, I did some writing and got to know the teams, and as I talked with the Liberty GMs I got this feeling that I would be going to the team in Philadelphia. Sure enough it happened and the locker room was incredible, it really felt like a team of new guys looking to make a name for themselves, and it really helped get me into the league and keep me invested early. I wanted to do what I could in order to stick in the league, eventually become a GM of that team. It's always a major part of my memory of the league, and nothing will compare to that first time of drafting especially on a new team. (203 words)
