11) What is it that keeps you interested in the league? Is it your love of dot football, your locker room, a specific job or role you play, or something else? What do you like most about it? What could be improved?
I have been in this league for nearly 4 years now and I am still as active as the day I joined this league back in may 2017 when Baller opened it up to the public. Although I have had my dips in the past, especially just after I created my current player Davriel Lavigne, I got this feeling that I was kinda done with the league, but that has since been overcome an we are back to full on force in this league. As a European I am never really in a position to catch the games, unless it is one of those nights I just decide to completely fuck my sleep schedule, so for me personally the dots dont keep me entertained. The sim goes way to fast and fuck if I know what is going on. I prefer just catching the boxscores the follow day. The Honolulu locker room has been an absolute blast to be a part of, I think in part why I wanted to dip the league was, because I had the feeling I completely bombed out in making the squad and setting up a locker room, however the locker room has been absolutely popping off as of late and I am all here for it. I also absolutely love my job as a banker. It is a position I have held since the start of the league after all and even after all this time I still enjoy it as much as the first time. I can see myself holding this position for a very long time and hope to be able to.
At the end of the day I think it's my love for sim leagues and creating and seeing how my players work out. It keeps me coming back every day even on the days that nothing is happening I still find myself logging in every hour to check if anyone has posted shit media or if a new shitty meme has popped up. Seriously though this is my main league and with howmuch work I have put into it I just love seeing it thriving. I cannot think of much I would like to see improved at this moment. Although potentially I would be interested in a system in which you could have an offensive and a defensive player, but that comes with a ton of headaches and all kinds of issues, but it would be an interesting option to explore.

10) Describe your player and/or team’s journey through this latest season. What were the highlights? What were the lower points? What might you have done differently? What are your expectations for next season?
The change in the sim engine we use has been very interesting to see how it works out. The way I had experienced Lavigne so far, was as a player who can get a ton of tackles with back to back 101 tackle seasons and get some secondary stats. The move to the new sim instantly showed me a significant drop in tackles for my player, however Lavigne got juiced up and decided to go on a sacking rampage this season collecting a ton of 8 sacks. Where he previously only had 1 sack, that was a big increase. I do feel a bit conflicted on the new sim still, however the sacks are nice. Next season should be an interesting one as I will be adding a trait and just overall have higher speed aswell. So that is something I am looking forward to.
I think the highlights for lavigne this season has to be the season series against the Austin Copperheads. The first game saw Lavigne get 5 tackles and a sack, which alone is pretty alright, but if you look at the Week 13 home match up against the Copperheads Lavigne get 7 tackles with two sack and a pass defended. In total Lavigne had a line of 12 tackles, 3 sacks and a defended pass against the Copperheads. Which were solid numbers for him. Looking at a single game we look at this seasons match up against the Fire Salamanders, while only having 2 tackles, Lavigne was aggresive in the air and defended 4 passes and got himself an interception.
The low points for Lavigne were his games against the away game against SJS and home gmae against NOLA, where he only recorded 2 tackles and was pretty quite the rest of the game.
All in all with a 12-4 record, Lavigne cant complain about his preformance as the team as a whole had an amazing season and he contributed to it nicely.
I cant really say what I would have done differntly, I am happy with how I built my player through the season and coming into the season and it is not like I can go into the sim engine and change anything, cuz god knows I would.
Looking at next season, I think Lavigne will get a bump in preformance. Together with him going to achieve a trait this offseason, his speed stat will increase to 95 max, which should help him out grealy. I am hoping to see Lavigne lead the league in safety stuff and get a nomination of safety of the year.
