Since I joined in the massive Reddit class of S22, this league has meant a ton to me. I haven't been the most active or a max earner or anything like that, but I've still loved my time here. Things were pretty confusing joining the league, but the rookie tasks gave me a direction to go in, and I was able to get started in the league. I picked OL just because I figured teams would need the position, and figured if I didn't like it I could just swap positions. Well, I ended up loving it, in large part due to the Fair Rub Club, and haven't looked back (except when I'm writing responses like these). Jay Doctor was the first GM to reach out to me (at least I think), and convinced me that Tijuana was going to be the best destination for me. Bagel also followed up, making them the only team I had multiple conversations with. I think two teams didn't reach out, and two had DMs on the forums I missed (sorry KC and Dallas!), but in the end it worked out great. Tijuana drafted me with the 60th pick, where I joined my Rambler teammates Sid and Mith. Winning the prospect bowl was a fun memory since it was my first league experience, and the draft would be likewise had the draft not buffered just before my selection was announced. We kinda didn't do awesome that first season, but it's still one of my favorite league memories interacting with my Luchadore teammates. Getting picked by Arizona was another fun time (I recently learned that I was the 40th pick, not the 48th as I'd always thought, which was a shock), except I missed that one on the stream as well. Regardless, I've had a good time with the Outlaws as well, even though my activity has waned. I plan to finish my career there, and even though we haven't had a ton of success we've drafted well and improved every year. Outside of my player, I've also enjoyed my limited experience with my shallow amount of "behind the scenes" stuff. I've scouted and dabbled with sim testing (I'll still claim all the credit for Tijuana's 8th Ultimini), and technically held a league job as part of the awards committee for one season in the DSFL and two (maybe?) in the ISFL. I might even be returning this season, which will be fun. Overall I'm very glad I ended up joining the league, and I'm excited for my first playoff win this upcoming season!
