I've had such an unexpectedly positive experience in this community. So many great people that have made my time here truly wonderful and fabulous. Now I kinda spent my retirement post for my 1st player thanking so many people and tagging so many people that I feel like that it would be redundant to do that over again. However since I am on my 2nd player, and I've had a really great time so far with a whole new cast of characters I'll go ahead and shout them out here.
First of all I have been so impressed by the scouting by teams this go-round. I can't be the only one who has noticed this. I think fo rmy first player I might have been scouted by 3 or 4 of the 6 DSFL squads at the time. And the majority of those conversations were not really conversations. They were essentially surveys. Which I don't mean to call out anybody or put myself above that. During the few seasons that I was a GM, that's exactly how I scouted, mainly because I am not very good at scouting or GM'ing for that matter. But this go-round 6 out of the now 8 DSFL team scouted me and none of them felt stiff. They all felt like genuine conversations. And special shoutout to @Painted who was the very first person to scout me and whom I was very impressed by. The others who scouted me were @IsaStarcrossed for Norfolk. (fellow s18er and legend love ya dude!) @ReverendOReily for Dallas (I didn't even make the connection that this was that rev until I saw the pfp) @slate for London (who I used to update when he was just a baby on KCC!) @frazzle14 for KCC (I love his render so much) @"CommishDrip" for Tijuana (who I had a very pleasant convo with and also very much appreciates naps as much as I do)
And there was Minnesota who drafted me. I don't understand why the grey Ducks get the bad wrap that they do, it is such a fun bunch. The game nights we've had were wonderful (despite missing out on one that was literally like 4 hours ago.) @Painted, @Crodyman @RussDrivesTheBus (whom has just 3 blue hairs) @UpperNet (who is the greatest artist of all time and whose trombones are the most beautiful) @Gragg9 @TheCC @Muford@Sloths1 (whom is the greatest Baltimore updater of all time) @IceBear32 @CLG Rampage and whomever I am forgetting that hangs out in the MIN locker room. Ya'll are the greatest and I am proud to share an Ultimini with. Let's go win a 2nd one in S30 just for shits
It was not at all a surprise that I ended up in BAL. I had a hunch. A feelimg that it was gonna happen. @King Jellyfish who scouted me initially for BAL and whom I bonded with for how great Stitch is, and really the Lilo & Stitch movie and series was. @Hallmonitor_20 for having big potatoes to give this middling earner a 2nd chance. @Frick_Nasty for technically scouting me literally the day that I retired Dotson way back. @shadyshoelace @infinitempg @Bigred1580 for being the most likable trio of old heads to have the pleasure of sharing an LR with. @Tomasnz for playing chess with me and sneaking away a checkmate on me when I swear I thought I was finally gonna beat an actual human for once. @Bauer for having quite the eyecandy for a player and render and everyone else who has made me feel so welcome in BAL.
There's so many more people I should shout-out, but it's getting late and hey I've already reached my required amount so yeah.
P.S. lol I forgot to shout-out @TomHanks
