TASK 26:
My player, Thomas Rose, definitely has a couple New Years resolutions that he is hoping to accomplish within the next twelve months. The first resolution he has, is continuing to be engaging and active in his locker room off the field. Last year he was kind of wishy washy, but thankfully GM Pat brought him back into the swing of things and he has been active and engaged ever since. Thomas Rose has been enjoying his time with the Philadelphia Liberty, recently signing a contract extension, and plans to continue being around for his teammates, and just having a blast on, and off, the field. His second resolution is eating healthier! Now that he has switched from a balanced linebacker, to a pass rushing linebacker, he feels as though he needs to make sure his diet is up to par; if he feels in any way sluggish, it throws him off his game. By eating better foods, and increasing his cardio work in the gym, Thomas Rose believes it will make him a much faster pass rusher when it comes game time. After transitioning his archtype, he put a lot of his off season training into getting his speed into tip top shape. His third resolution, is becoming more of a hustler and acquiring more money on the side. Thomas Rose has a pretty mehh bank account and this year he is looking to expand his off season work and dabble into creating graphics for people around the league. With more money, he can purchase better equipment to truly up his game and take his play to the next level. 270 WORDS
TASK 20:
If long term, or short term, injuries were a legit thing and the GM's of the Philadelphia Liberty needed me to sub in out of position, I would think that I could perform as an awesome defensive end if needed. Standing at 6'5" and 265 pounds, Thomas Rose has the similar body composition as Myles Garrett, one of the best defensive ends in the National Football League. With his monstrous size, I think Thomas Rose would already have an edge over a lot of the offensive lineman he would go up against because he is more agile, and quick on his feet than a lot of edge rushers now. He is built like a brick house, and with him being a pass rushing linebacker, he is FAST, therefore he would be very difficult to block on the edge. To go along with his speed, Thomas Rose comes equipped with a very high intelligence rating, meaning he will know when to utilize his swim, finesse, etc. moves, as well as boasting an above average strength rating. Size alone would make him a beast as an edge rusher, but mix in his build now and his athletics, and I think that Thomas Rose could become a very good defensive end of the Liberty ever have one of their starters go down with injury. 220 WORDS
TASK 18:
I am one of those people in the ISFL that is also in numerous amounts of other sim leagues: PBE, SHL, SCFSL, etc. because apparently a lot of us cannot get enough sim league satisfaction (or drama) in our lives. However, my first love of sim leagues came with PBE because of how much there is to like over there which, thankfully, a lot translates over to ISFL and SHL! Before I ever joined PBE, SHL, ISFL, any of the forum sim leagues, I was very hesitant because it all looked so intimidating and very time consuming. I thought that I would have to write lengthy posts every day, updating and the PT's looked like A LOT of work, and everything just seemed like I would fall behind pretty quickly if I joined PBE. However, from the moment I signed up, something just clicked and I dove head first and have never regretted it one bit. I think the feeling of creating a fictional player, and watching them develop and go through their entire careers, is SO satisfying and a blast. Plus, the community in PBE, ISFL, and SHL is just so wholesome, helpful, and an overall great group of dynamic, diverse people. I have developed so many friendships that it makes me excited to log into my LR's every day and talk with all of my teammates across the league. Although I have not started making gfx for ISFL yet, creating sigs for other people in PBE has been so much fun because of the excitement and positive reactions I have received back. From the people, the twitch streams, the community events, and just having this "virtual" career, is all super exciting and I am glad I took the leap to sign up. 294 WORDS
TASK 21:
One of my favorite parts in any of these sim leagues, is the creative ideas that come into play in regards to team brandings and logo design. In SHL, the Calgary Dragons and Atlanta Inferno have top tier branding, in PBE the Cancun Toros and New York Voyagers have top tier branding, but when it comes to the ISFL, I believe that the Berlin Fire Salamanders and the Honolulu Hahalua have the best branding in the entire league. The Yellowknife Wraiths are a VERY close second behind those two, but ultimately it came down to Berlin and Honolulu just having branding that is very unique. These two teams have a great combination of team colors, team location, and amazing logos that really draw my attention. I loved the Fire Salamanders and their logo from the jump, I think the colors blend well and the location is one that you do not see often. While the Honolulu Hahalua have a branding that is very unique, as well as not many sim leagues have a Hawaiian based team. I could be a little biased here because I am also Hawaiian, but I think the team name being Hawaiian, the colors that blend very well, and the logo that is very fun, makes their entire team branding a win. Now on the other side of things, I personally think that Sarasota has the worst branding in the league. The logo is not very appealing, the location is played out, and I think the colors are a bad mix. The green is a terrible shade and when you mix it with the blue they use, it just looks like a hot mess. 278 WORDS
