Love this idea. As is the common theme among many of us here, there are too many to name! But three especially come to mind. The first would be the man, the mith (yay puns), the legend, @mithrandir himself. As many of you know, mith is the one who recruited me to this league, and while we haven't done much together from a sim league perspective since my days in Tijuana, he's been a constant impact and has been fun to talk with about what's going on in the league, especially since I very seldom actually know what's going on around here. Glad we found a new way to keep an old friendship going. Next up would be @Tonzy. Tonzy is that weird story of the guy who messaged me because we were the top two draft picks in our class at Tijuana and he wanted to get to know each other. I don't know how many other rookies got that message from Tonzy, I like to think I was special, but we hit it off very quickly and I have had a truly great time getting to know this awesome guy that I couldn't have met any other way. Cheers to you, Tonzy. Thanks for continuing to pop up in my DMs from time to time when I'm really bad about keeping up with Discord. It's been a real joy getting to know you. Finally, in the last several months I've gotten to have several good conversations with my GM @Dewalt27. He has been an absolutely terrific GM from day one - or I guess before day one when he talked to me while in trade talks to acquire me from Arizona. From that acquisition and getting to be one of the first 4 people to call Berlin home until now, he has been an amazing leader, listener, and has made it clear that he wants only the best for me and for my player in my time on the team. In the past few weeks, we went through contract talks and he was incredible encouraging of me, my place on the team, and my value as a Fire Salamander. You've made it extremely easy to stay excited about being in Berlin, Dewalt, and I'm so thankful you risked a round 2 pick to bring me into the fold from the start.
