A PT I'll approach out of character. I think success, for me anyway, is defined differently for a player and a user. A player, in my eyes, is pretty simple. It's championships, awards, records, and hall of fame. But if you dig deeper into the user and how they manage their player you can peel away their goals with the player, their reputation as a user, and their impact to the community. I've been a GM and involved in team planning in various leagues for years and it's no longer my intention to build stat hungry, championship and accolade chasing players. Success with my players is how versatile I can be for my team. Creating a player that has positional flexibility and the willingness to adapt to change are big factors in how I look at success. You might not get the fame and the glory as a player, but you're setting your team up for more success than if you're on a one-track mind. Being a user that people love and respect is probably the ultimate sign of success and impact in the sim community. There are those users that everyone knows and will fight over for their player in drafts, will move mountains to trade for, and feel a huge internal win if they're on their team. Leaving the community or leagues in a better place than when you came in is another factor in defining success.
