2. Tell us about your draft class. Is there anything that makes it special in comparison to other classes? Where did your fellow draftees land, how are they doing? Did anyone turn out to be an unexpected steal of that draft based on what you know today? Do you think anyone in your draft class will become a hall of famer? If you’re new to the league, how do you think your class will do? Where do you think people will get drafted to?
S50 class is going to be special just based on it being such a big anniversary for the entire league. We are going to have users come out of the woodworks just to be apart of history, so whilst the class might have more recreates then normal, it could also see a higher drop-off rate in active players. It will be interesting to see how that shapes up going into the ISFL draft, with a plethora of recreates means a lot of connections to teams, will they want to only go back to their old team? Or will they be completely open and see people going everywhere. Then the new users could always have the chance to stand out and claim one overall for themselves For me personally, I go into the draft as the ISFL commissioner. I wonder if such a position, despite having two prior HoF players who are some of the bests to play in their positions, will affect my draft stock. HO is not always popular with their decisions and rulings, so that could be held against me. Same time, its hard to say a user who is the commissioner isn’t dedicated to the league, a history over 3 years of max earning and long careers, never going to FA, my player poses a really strong asset for a team. With any draft class, the Quarterbacks are always the most interesting to look at. S50 has 6 quarterbacks, with 3 recreates and 3 newbies. The recreates are all well-known, high earning and active users within the league, so they are definitely people that a team can bank on. With no clue about their plans, its hard to say if they have setup destinations, will swap away, or are actually the future for a team. The three rookies will face extra pressure to stand out and prove themselves during their DSFL rookie season, show they can handle the expectations of earning and showing dedication to gain the trust of potential ISFL team suitors. One of the 3 rookies has only 2 posts, so is probably already going to be a pass, whilst the other two have been active and earning, and do show some good potential to be options at an ISFL level. That’s where the lack of spots for 5 QB’s come in, and will be interesting to see how that all shapes up. Going back to my own player and circumstances, Linebacker follows a similar pattern and outlook of being stacked with recreates. Slate, Br0_0ker, Symmetrik, Beck, JayTheGreat, Noanic are all well liked and veteran users. Those 6 users, 7 when including myself, comprise of more then half of the Linebackers in the class, and being such a needed and valuable position, teams will have a gluttony of choice of where to go. I am playing the rare coverage LB arch, that could also affect draft stock going for the more unknown and unused, probably could be said its seen as weaker arch. Rookies again, can storm their way up the board with their fresh spirit and energy, and time will gives us an answer to how it shakes out compared to some big hitters. S50 will also be a class that comes in when a major class, S41, is really starting to fall away. They will need to replace these names across all ISFL teams, and can be pretty important in starting the rebuilding of teams or ensuring their rebuild stays the course and backups a strong core. A team like Colorado will have important choices to support the start of their core that came from the S49 draft class. There is heaps of potential for uers to have stellar careers and early opportunity in the ISFL, so S50 could be a special class that has a special impact in the league.
10. Through a random lottery drawing, you have been named the league's new commissioner for a day. Congrats! What improvements would you make to the league if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?
As is tradition at this point now, I've been selected by chance as commissioner for the day. Instead of reforming awards, this time around I'm going to abolish them completely. No longer will we need to vote. No longer will general managers need to fill out a ballot. Instead we shall let the sim decide. Seeking and analysing the sim? Nah. Let us embrace the sim and hand over the reigns so we can collectively get upset at the sim rather than each other. The next thing on the agenda is to levy fines for player renders. Admittedly, I prefer that people use footballers as their render but if you got something else in mind, sure that's fine. The non-issue that I'm looking to address is when people pick a player as the render but opt to use a number that the render has not used. Not in college and not in the NFL either. Like why do that when you can pick someone who uses the number that you want? So as an overreaction to this phenomenon that has little to no impact to me whatsoever I'm going to levy a fine of 50% of a user's bank balance at the end of the season with the minimum fine value being set at $2 million. Pointless? Yup. But I'm going to do it anyways. In the recent sim balance change for Tight Ends there was a noticeable omission of the Return Specialist archetype when talking about Wide Receivers. Unrelated, each member of the Sim Balance Team will need publish a 1,000 word article praising the archetype and detailing in great detail why it is unquestionably the best archetype. They will be eligible for payment for producing the media as per the normal pay scale so it's not all bad for them. Code: 302 words 22. Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, or highlights. (Written or Graphic Task) 35. Create the front page of a newspaper celebrating the win or the Ultimus or Ultimini winner. (Graphic Option)

Anakin Skywalker wasn't supposed to be a football player. He was supposed to be the greatest of all Jedi. In a misread prophecy, he was supposed to be the chosen one, who would bring balance to the force. The prophecy was misread in that the interpretation was that Skywalker would destroy the Sith. This would not bring balance, it would tip the scales. In an alternate timeline, the one we live in, Skywalker didn't march on the Jedi temple. He didn't kill the Jedi, the younglings, or the janitorial staff. He never went to Mustafar, never attempted to murder his wife, and never engaged in the fateful duel with his friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Instead, he retained his three remaining limbs, and made his way to Earth. In this timeline, this is the earth without the NFL, but the ISFL. Being an extremely adept force user, he was able to channel his abilities as a superhuman being, capable of amazing athletic feats. His inquisitive mind drove him to discover the sport of football, something he believed he could be successful at. He signed on with the Kansas City Coyotes of the DSFL, a developmental league that feeds talent into the ISFL. He enjoyed great success with Kanas City, eventually finding himself as a draft pick with the Baltimore Hawks. When he entered the ISFL, he had somewhat of a slow start but was able to rebound in his second year. While he had statistical success, he was overlooked for the Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections. His team, who had won the Ultimus during his draft year, was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. By his third year, he had locked up his first of two (so far) consecutive Pro Bowls and All-Pro selections. In year 4, he was able to fall just short of a championship with Baltimore. The story is far from over, however. We shall continue to watch his career with great interest. (326) 2. 10 Ah, yes. Unlimited power! More powerful than any sim league user has ever dreamed of. If I got to be ISFL commissioner for a day, I would make sweeping and irreversible changes to the league. One of the first things I would do is extend regression by two seasons for non-quarterback players. Quarterbacks would get an additional year pre-regression. My thought process behind this is, as we have smaller influx of players than we had in previous eras, because of how long players are in the DSFL, by the time their player is ready for the ISFL, they have four seasons before regression hits, on average. From there, the regression snowballs and it becomes much more difficult to stay effective. Quarterbacks are especially affected by regression. They require more earning and effort to stay competitive and they are in the DSFL for a minimum of two seasons, usually three. Their prime years are short and regression destroys them on a harder level. Since staggering quarterback depth for a team is quite difficult, you have seasons where teams only have a ragged corpse as an option behind center. Another decision I would make is to consolidate the league by two teams per conference. The reason for this is because teams are made up on average of 20 players. This leaves certain key positions, like offensive line, with capped bots. Should there be fewer teams, they would be better overall, and each would have a better chance of winning at least one championship per half-to-full decade. Many teams have gone on long spells with no success, while others seem to win every other season. Maybe my logic is backwards on that part, but fewer teams would mean better teams, better offensive lines, which would make quarterback and running back play even better. Wolfie McDummy Jr. would be an All-Pro with these conditions. (310)

Task 7: S38 NSFC Conference Game
The Season 38 NSFC Conference Final was held in Berlin where the Fire Salamanders hosted the Yellowknife Wraiths. Berlin hosting such a game was an incredibly unexpected and surprising outcome, literally no one predicted it to be the case at the start of the season. This was for good reason as Berlin had completely bottomed out the roster before Season 36, with a roster that was mostly very young, from their bounties in Season 36's r/nfl draft class and Season 37's draft class. The year prior, Berlin finished 7-9, and had crafted such affronts to good football such as a 7-3 game with the aforementioned Wraiths. The Wraiths themselves were in a much different situation, on the upswing with an elite defense that was rounding into their prime. They had gone 11-5 the year before and only come to Germany for this game due to tiebreakers. After a few stalled out drives from both teams, Berlin opened the scoring as Bageshwari Singh threw a touchdown pass to Simon The Frog. The only problem was that Simon was on the other team. 7-0 Wraiths. Good for Berlin, Singh deletes that error from his memory and leads the Salamanders down the field for a 10-play scoring drive, capped off with a pass to Max Hamilton. 7-7 A few matching 3-and-outs from both teams takes us to the middle of the second quarter, where after a failed 4th down conversion, Berlin gets the ball at their own 34 and with a few chunk plays is able to score for their first time. 14-7 Salamanders. A pretty normal, game right? Well, the next drive after that Yellowknife is able to march down the field to Berlin's 3 yard line where Yellowknife QB Dustin Parmalee throws an interception that gets returned all the way into Wraiths territory. Sam Sung then commits an unsportsmanlike conduct on a no gain play which pushes Berlin into field goal range. This chance is immediately thrown away with another Bageshwari Singh interception. Yellowknife doesn't waste this chance and turns it into a field goal, even after making Double Doink's job harder with a 10 yard sack on 3rd down. 14-10 Salamanders, which holds for the half after a few scoreless drives. The second half starts with sacks, punts, no points, and a chance for Yellowknife to get primo field position wasted by a defensive holding penalty with Berlin deep in their own territory. Berlin gets the ball at their 33 with 4:15 left in the 3rd. Bageshwari Singh throws to Octavio Perez, who fumbles...but recovers the ball themselves. The very next play, Bageshwari Singh gets sacked by Daron Arnold, loses the football, and Arnold picks up said football and takes it back to Berlin's 18. Kumquat Archipelago punches the ball in five plays later. 17-14 Wraiths. It seemed at this point, the dam for bullshit broke completely. The next drive for Berlin ends with another lost fumble, this time Octavio Perez's second fumble. Literally two plays later, Dustin Parmalee throws an interception, which allows Berlin to drive deep enough into Wraiths territory for a Known Acquaintance field goal. 17-17. Yellowknife goes 3-and-out, and Berlin is able to march down the field again with the help of two chunk plays, one on a 3rd and 10. This time, the drive was capped off by Octavio Perez redeeming themselves with an 8 yard receiving TD. 24-17 Salamanders. 6 minutes were left at this point. 3-and-outs from Yellowknife and Berlin respectively whittled it down to 2 minutes. This was somehow still enough time for a miserably slow 14 play drive from Yellowknife, with Dustin Parmalee proving clutch with a 4th down passing TD with 14 seconds left. 24-24; overtime. Overtime itself proved to feel just as long, taking more than one 15 minute quarter. This overtime included a Parmalee interception in Berlin territory, back-to-back interceptions -- the latter being a Singh interception in Yellowknife territory, capped off with Dustin Parmalee losing all clutch factor and throwing a 5th interception this game, this time inside his team's own 20, which let Berlin score the game winning field goal.

Code: 7. Write 600 words or more on something about anything in the league that interests you. It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories. This must be directly related to the league, so don’t wax 600 words about your team’s participation on a Werewolf server or something. I wanna talk about Chicago’s rebrand. Before we get into things, I have to place a disclaimer. I am what some would call, a weeb. I love anime, Japanese music, etc. I’m literally learning Japanese rn because I want to visit someday and experience their culture and beautiful landscapes first hand. So I am admittedly biased. I really like the Osaka Kaiju. I think a team in Asia makes so much sense as the league was lacking there, and Japan is a great spot because it will resonate with more of the users across the ISFL. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a stronger Asian influence in the states than Anime. K-pop also comes to mind. (this is probably heavily based on where I live, I’d be very interested in discussing other Asian cultural elements that are popular globally). But even if Anime isn’t your thing, this branding still has you covered. Monster movies in recent years have been coming out nonstop, and they have their own cult following. I think it’s difficult to find a non-cliche team name related to Japan, like Ninja’s or Samurai, that is also popular enough to be used as a team branding. I mean I even find Kaiju to be a bit Cliche, but I really appreciated the in-depth considerations made and explained in Chicago’s rebrand announcement post. Likewise, I’m glad Tokyo wasn’t chosen because that also feels too basic. Moving ahead to the logo and color scheme itself, I think it looks very appealing. I love the contrast between the red and blue, I don’t think the league should be afraid to try out these uncommon color combos cause they end up looking sick. Red is way overused. But red and blue is new, it’s refreshing to see. With the old Butchers branding, I didn't mind the logo and I actually think it was a pretty creative theme for a team. But there are too many red teams in sports, so switching away from that but still paying homage to Chicago with red highlights in the logo is an excellent choice. I cannot wait to see some dope Kaiju jersey swaps. Alongside all this, I think they also nailed the timing of this rebrand. I think most people across the league were caught off guard by this because typically what we've seen in the past is that bad teams will rebrand to try and emphasize a cultural change taking place and that sort of shift in direction. But Chicago has been doing pretty good in recent seasons so this isn't what this rebrand was done for. Chicago instead is recognizing that they've got a good thing going, and using the peak activity they have right now to make a team wide decision on a change of scenery. I will say, I think they missed an incredible opportunity to use Kanji in an alternate logo. Kaiju in Kanji is: 怪獣. I understand that it would be difficult to find a font type that would accommodate this, but I think it could have been a cool statement to make. I mean theoretically, if there were international teams in the league, I'd imagine they'd have their names be in their native language for at least one logo, and then probably a romanized version like what we see across the league. It could've been a pretty creative move if possible. There are a couple things I don't love about the rebrand, but it's just some small details. The field is too busy. I think it'd be fine for like a color rush field, but the skyline and everything along the bottom sideline isn't necessary. I like what they were going for and the idea behind it, it just doesn't look great imo. I also am not the biggest fan of the paw print/osaka flag secondary logo. Again, I like the idea behind it, but I think it just looks too cartoony I guess. the contrast between scary kaiju logo and cute paw print logo is just too strong.

Tijuana beat Norfolk 18-13, and Minnesota beat London 33-24, leading to a rematch against the Grey Ducks (who swept Tijuana in the regular season). However, Minnesota was not able to complete the full season sweep, as Tijuana wrapped up the Ultimini with a 20-10 dominating defensive performance. Tijuana was able to win a key stretch in mid season, which won them the 2nd seed in the South. Once you get to the playoffs, it is anyone's game, and Tijuana was able to capitalize. Code: 1613 words

The word that can describe the Yellowknife Wraiths over the past 5 seasons is average. 3 seasons with an 8-8 record one disastrous 4-12 season and most recently a 9-7 season. They have made the playoffs only once in those 5 seasons shockingly making a cinderella run to the Ultimus where they would finally fall in a low scoring thriller. All of this to say that Yellowknife are unknown to many throughout the league especially the rookies (or so I'm told). The truth is Yellowknife boasts one of the most talented rosters in the league. They have the sixth best average TPE, fifth best total effective TPE, fifth best average effective TPE, eighth best offensive TPE, and seventh best defensive TPE. This means they are at or above average in every important category in the ISFL. Sure it may seem like this will be just another average season for the Yellowknife Wraiths but it isn't. It is so much more than that. Their quarterback is reaching his peak and is set to have a true breakout season. The secondary lead by linebackers Thor Dangerson and Cheecago Boucher and complimented by the always dangerous safety Luke Hunter is a force to be reckoned with in this upcoming season. Regressing stars like Wide Receiver Nick Williams and defensive lineman Dan Dandrews are players that opposing sides can't take lightly. Add on new rising stars that are beginning to make a name for themselves like wide receiver Silence Suzuka and running backs Lane Wilson and Billy van Goff and this offense is looking scarier and scarier by the second. Legends that are on their last legs are still making an impact in the locker room and are still key veterans that can be used sparingly most notably Detective Crashmore helping along the new tight end Bob Kroonkowski. This is a team that is more often than not counted out before they are even ready to get started. The entire team puts in a ton of effort to be the best they can and yet they never get the recognition they deserve. There's always a Baltimore in the way. There's always a Cape Town crashing through the flood gates. This leaves Yellowknife to battle it out for one of the two remaining playoff spots. No team is going to just let that happen though as Yellowknife has become blissfully aware. This season, season 49, is finally the season all of this changes. The tides are turning and Yellowknife can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The games won't be easy and facing Baltimore week 1 will be a good test to see where they truly stand but things are looking up....Up North in the freezing cold of Yellowknife. This random assortment of players is set to make their mark on the league and become household names. I would of course be remiss not to bring up the infamous Zenzeroni Xystarch II. In a shocking turn of events, after his worst season of kicking to date, he was selected to be the kicker for the NSFC. Whether this is some kind of sick joke or a mistake in the reading of the votes remains unknown but Zenzeroni will be using this as fuel to show why he was selected to the pro bowl. He's maxed himself out and become the best he possibly could. There is no way he can go further up than he already is. The team on the other hand, has only one direction they can go. They have their sights set on the number 1 prize in the ISFL they want that regular season championship and to go on and win that sweet sweet Ultimus that seems to have eluded Yellowknife for far too long. 625 words dawg Howdy! I am responsible for quite possibly the greatest kicker to ever grace the ISFL and am the most accomplished media writer the ISFL has ever seen (no need to ask anyone else regarding either of those claims)
