I have always been really bad at this sort of thing; both on the giving and receiving side. I will instead keep things a bit more general.
First off, I want to thank the folks who welcomed me into this league and into their private sanctum, the Tijuana Luchadores. It was a great place to begin my journey filled with a bunch of great people. My fellow waiver claims were excellent, the team veterans, team management, and alumni were all a ton of fun to meet and interact with. It really kept me involved and made me want to stick around and come back to the best international DSFL team in the draft that year.
Speaking of the draft; I met several new people while being scouted. Talking with these GMs, scouts, and other members of the community solidified my interest and kept me involved. At the same time, I was pulled into the events graphics team and met a bunch of cool people there as well. Working with those guys throughout the years was nothing short of awesome, and I am so thankful for their welcome to the league and helping me earn at the level I wanted to.
While I didn't wind up back in Tijuana, I found another locker room to to call home and another group of users to call family. In Dallas, I finally found the people I wanted to hang out with for the rest of my sim career. The people I was drafted with were awesome; we worked hard to replace the vets that had all been called up and while we didn't have much success, we knew we did what we could for the team. The people that came along later, particularly the ones I had the privilege to help draft as a war room member, were and are some of the best people I've met in this league. A lot of them are the reasons I'm still around today.
Inevitably, I would need to find a place in the ISFL. I had a great scouting talk with Baltimore and was almost positive I'd be going there in the draft. I was right, and had a great time there. The team was struggling, but most people knew and were bought in on the rebuild. Unfortunately, several events happened including expansion, an incredible offer that lured me away, and leadership turnover which all lead to me leaving. I'll always look back fondly on my time with Baltimore and the people I met there. It was an honor playing alongside them.
The hardest thing to write about is Austin. It's been a wild ride to say the least. The people that I've had the pleasure of GMing have worked their asses off to make the team better and are some of the best people I know on or offline. Words can't express how thankful I am to each and every one of them for their efforts and contributions to this team. We've had ups and downs, but I can't imagine doing it with anyone else.
