Task 18- Player
This one is pretty simple, the Ultimate Team player for the Arctic copperheads is definitely going to be quarterback Jackie Daytona AKA Mooty. I mean let's look at it. Here is our qb leader of the sqad, the guy that makes the whole ship move forward. If you look just at his talent alone, in terms of TPE he’s the #1 qb in the league. But this team starts and finishes with the 2 headed monster run game that we utilized. Using Zoe Watts Jim the vampire this team wants to run the ball establish and ram it down people's throats. yeah here's a guy that is statistically and talent wise is the best who is willing and able to just sit back and let the run game do its work and contribute when necessary and needed. the Ultimate Team player so to speak. who knows his role wants to do his best for the team and then when is needed can start checking that ball down the field like a gunslinger that he is too are top receiver veteran just start wreaking havoc through the air. Than in the locker room he is the sage adviser to the team. The guy that’s been doing it the longest and runs all the simulations in preparation for our games. The player and the user our by far the Austin Copperheads MVP. Code: 232 #19 TV Show I totally remember doing this written option last season but I completely don't remember what I wrote about. so we're going to start with new ideas. I'm probably going to take this a little bit differently. file torrent the player had any type of acting chops wanted to get into that industry alongside his career as a football player, I think I would like to do some timepieces. being a larger human being that works out for a living, doing something like a show about gladiators or ancient warfare would be really cool. it's a darker complexed individual like myself I could probably get away with acting in a lot of different nationalities. Much like Aquamna himself Jason momoa. so doing a show that utilizes my size strength I would like to think that I would be able to do something like that maybe a guest appearance in a show like gladiator or Rome or something of that nature. Since we already have Spartacus as the gladiator show and then also the movie gladiator another show about gladiators would have to be something original. I would like to think the plot would probably be something like in Assassin's Creed where I am able to join a group that fights in gladiatorial arenas to get close to the rich and famous kings and Queens since that was the most popular form of entertainment during that time. So not only would I dominate within the ring as a gladiator but then use the opportunity when getting close to those individuals to commit the assassinations something like that would be fun. Code: 271 Task 22 Half time show. having been alive for a few years now I remember a lot of Super Bowl halftime shows. I think the one that stands out the most is that of the Michael Jackson halftime show. so being in charge of the ultimate halftime show it probably do something as memorable as that. which I doubt since Michael Jackson's watching a once in a lifetime talent. Being somebody that enjoys all facets of music and entertainment also would be something that I'd like to do, which is combine different genres. so let's go ahead and start with that. I'm sure they've already done a real NFL halftime show but this is the ultimate halftime show and let's go ahead and throw Metallica as the big part of the show. coming out to join and we have the new age ban five finger death punch. so now we're really rocking along to these two thors hammer bands just killing it. but I gotta address the other half of the fan ship with a different genre. with Metallica and five finger death punch starting a song by Michael Jackson, we have the one and only Bruno Mars come in who sounds just like Michael who start the lead singing for the song. will hit a few more Michael Jackson songs with three acts before transitioning into ending the show with purple rain by Prince. Now that’s a show I would watch. Code: 242 Task 25 new position. Ironically enough this conversation is actually came up this last season. currently playing the defensive End position, and being my first season as a rookie I didn't contribute as much as I would have liked. that said I been hurting like a demon this season and I think I will begin next season getting pretty close to that mid range as a player that being said we're losing a lot at the middle linebacker position. those players are getting older and regressing pretty substantially an so I might outpace them in the next season. so I was approached by the general manager about possibly making a switch to linebacker. I have to admit I'm actually really intrigued by it because at the beginning when I was creating an events event I really strongly considered linebacker. even though I played defensive end for the majority of my playing career in real life I always wanted to be a linebacker. and even for a brief moment in Little League football I did play linebacker and I absolutely loved it. being the field general in the middle of that football field on the defensive side of the ball is an absolute thrill. being able to contribute with both run stopping sacks an passing defense linebackers an absolute anchor to any defense. the reason I really didn't have to beginning of my creation was the fact that there was just so many linebackers already in the league I thought that I was going to be saturating the field. But with next season i might actually get to do it. Code: 269 Code: 20. Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, or highlights. Written or graphic option available. For this edition of scouting on the Despacito News Network, we will be taking a trip to the other end of the planet, to Bondi Beach, to specifically look at the Buccaneers offensive lineman, Theo AwardSystemIsBad. A pretty hyped selection for Bondi Beach, the stocky lineman with a name a couple of mouthfuls long has a proficiency in blocking inside runs with his strength and blocking ability. This strength manifested itself this season, with Theo allowing zero sacks on the Buccaneers' quarterback duo of Tron Carter and Bernt D. Brot. I'm not sure I would necessarily trust this young prospect to make my breakfast in the morning though, as his pancake count of 31 was way off what some of the higher end linemen in the league were putting up. Along with this, Theo has also reportedly not been working as hard in practice and in the gym as well as some of the other high end Bondi Beach prospects, such as Brot, Garfield Despacito III and Lenard Graf, and this will affect his draft stock as ISFL teams will surely be aware of it. He is a prospect that may fall under the radar this season, but it will be interesting to see who takes a shot on him, and if he can prove doubters wrong. (217 words) Uber sux lmap Code: 13. Expansion Expansion Expansion! The league seems to love talking about it, but it has still not happened. Tell us why it should happen / should not happen soon? The biggest blind spot for locations is of course Asia. From a pure numbers perspective it is a no brainer to establish a team here. The best place to establish a team in China would be China, most likely Beijing. The population of China paired with its growing middle class and the disposable income that comes with it make it an ideal location. Of course the league would have to be worried about how to deal with the Chinese government and the huge amount of egg shells that every player would need to walk on in order to keep them happy with the team and league. All things considered the long term numbers would probably show that expanding into China is a mistake. A better alternative would probably be expanding into South Korea. South Korea is comparatively dwarfed by China but still has a population of 50 million to support the team. In addition to that is the large United States Armed Forces in the country that would pretty much guarantee a dedicated fan base off the bat. Another spot that could be a great place for the league to expand into would be Brazil. The Tijuana Luchadores have already proved that football has room to grow south of the border. We all know that football is king in Brazil. Unfortunately, it is the wrong kind of footy. With a concerted effort the ISFL should be able to grow a loyal following. It would probably pose the largest risk but could possibly reap the greatest rewards given how nuts Brazilians are about soccer. It would be up to the league if they wanted to risk setting up an ISFL team in Brazil or go with the safer option in establishing a DSFL team instead. Regardless of whether any of these spots are chosen for expansion, the league needs to be thinking about expanding. Expansion is the tool that we can use to make sure that the ISFL becomes a truly global phenomenon. (411 words) Code: 19. If your player had a show starring them, what would the plot be?

4. “Sim gonna sim” is a popular expression in the league. Write about teams that have been graced by the sim gods and had amazing performances despite statistical odds, and/or about teams that were considered favorites but may have dealt with some bad sim luck that hampered their efforts. How much of an impact did it have on their season(s)?
The Chicago Butchers entered the season having faced some of the worst luck in the league over the last few seasons. Their window slamming shut with regression at key positions and losses in trades and free agency compounded with some brutal "sim gonna sim" losses over the last season. Whether it was last second kick return touchdowns beating out game winning field goals from Sam Sidekick, terrible AI clock management in winnable games, or just straight upsets out of nowhere in strongly favored games, Chicago was on the wrong end of some brutal random number rolls to the point where it was commonly recognized across the league. Entering this season Chicago was routinely at the bottom of the predictions, a long shot for the playoffs. Young quarterback Kazimir Oles Jr. had a lot of growth ahead of him despite the weapons around him. Mike Hunt, Luca Scabbia, and Vincent Sharpei Jr. made for an acceptable group of receivers while Nick L. Back and Madison Hayes provided additional support to the young quarterback. The latter of those two, Hayes, was battling her own demons and criticism of routine underperformance having struggled to improve on a rookie of the year campaign just a few seasons ago. Her touchdowns were falling season over season and her ball security was becoming a notable problem. Speaking of underperformance, the defensive end of Chicago was coming off of one of the worst outings in the league last season, their 450 points allowed betraying the talent on paper. While some of that was due to offensive struggles, the roster as a whole massively struggled to produce last season, capping off one of the worst campaigns relative to talent the league had seen recently. The team won just two home games in route to a disappointing six win season. Enter Season 31, where the sim would once again sim. Oles Jr. protected the ball well en route to a 30-14 touchdown to interception split, his ratio puting himself into the top half of quarterbacks. That's not to say the Butchers aired it out though, their running backs and offensive line rolled high regularly with Madison Hayes returning to form with her first thousand yard season and multiple explosive games with a 5 TD game against Baltimore and a 3 TD quarter against Yellowknife. With the emergence of Rejoignez LordreSombre as a legitimate change of pace back, Chicago was one of the top three rushing offenses in the league regardless of how you cut it. On the defensive side, Chicago exploded with good luck as they led the league in turnovers, this good fortune catapulting them to the fewest points against this season, second fewest yards allowed this season, and a third ranked rushing defense. In an engine where time management routinely screwed over Chicago in the past, possession was firmly in favor of Chicago in most games, sim rolls paying massive dividends. The sim results would still show high variance, as the sim simmed the Butchers to a brutal 3 home wins, the worst among playoff teams but a league best 7 road wins. This gap is the pinnacle of "sim gonna sim" as the team that routinely had the biggest variance in sim vibes continued to do so. Home games, generally a positive for teams, were feared in Chicago, where being on the road for the wild card game was legitimately a blessing for a Chicago team that walked in to every opposing stadium and dominated - except for random losses to the Liberty. The Butchers lost both games to the Liberty this season, though the road game was closer, and their other loss to a non-playoff team was also to Yellowknife on the road. "Sim gonna sim" is a terrifying force, after dominating on the road all season while also struggling at home, the Butchers - with a two win and five loss record at home - had to come back to the Windy City for a final win and in game against Berlin who had their own three road wins. In peak sim fashion, the original game wouldn't even hit the index, but the Butchers would triumph - defense and offense both rolling high. This win set up a road wildcard game against Sarasota, their six home wins, league best scoring offense, and elite run defense. Everything Sailfish looked to counter the Butchers unreasonably hot season. The Butchers were on the road though. Their rookie quarterback knew how to protect the ball. Their defense was the league's best at forcing turnovers, winning short fields, and keeping offenses off the field. They were outgained on offense. They had fewer first downs. They had more penalties. But they would win the turnover battle 3 -1, with two additional forced fumbles recovered by the Sailfish. They won time of possession with 33 minutes. They would win, on the road, 23-13. Sim gonna sim. 811 words

12. Choose a team or player to write about that isn’t your own. What did they do well in the last season? Have they shown any drastic improvements from previous years? What could they do better?
Wew alright, for this Ultimus Week task, I will write about my fellow offensive linesman Dallas Fort Worth. Why? Well, because my boy Sota is an icon and deserves to be praised. And honestly it was the first name that I though about, so why not? Alright, so honestly, when Dallas Fort Worth was selected by the Kansas City Coyotes (Go Coyotes Pogyote Beegyote!), it was very exciting for Beeg Beeg Yoshi because they probably instantly clicked at the Developmental Simulation Football League combine, and so when the news came out that they would be teammates, I bet there would have been a lot of party rocking ahead of it. Plus, same position? And there are lot of offensive linesmen so the goal would've been to succeed together and flip a ton of pancakes, because apparently that is something that offensive linesman want to get? I mean, pancakes are awesome, so I am all for it. So yeah, Dallas Fort Worth had himself quite the season, with plenty of pancakes for everyone. 66 pancakes sounds like a fairly high number of pancakes, and I am certain that all that would be needed is some syrup on top. Has Dallas Fort Worth made tremendous improvement compared to his past seasons in the Developmental Simulation Foot Ball League? Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to measure this metric. Why? Because it was Dallas Fort Worth's rookie season! Therefore, it would have been impossible to measure how he did compared to prior seasons (I mean, if we really wanted to out of formality, he did pretty good! Can't beat going from having zero stats to having some stats!) Again, what Dallas Fort Worth really did well was acquire a lot of pancakes, flipping a ton of those. Very recently, I learned that a pancake was actually the term used to describe creating a block. It is often used by offensive linemen and their coaches to describe a block that leaves a defensive player flat on his back, creating a gaping hole for a ballcarrier to run through. Dallas Fort Worth got a lot of those, so you could truthfully say that he had a really really damn good season. I think one thing that Dallas Fort Worth can do to improve is to get even more pancakes next season. I don't know if 100 pancakes is feasible, but that might be a nice target to go for. Why not? Sky's the limit. Code: WC: 408 25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why? You know, that is a really, really, good question. Honestly, I do not know, since I had my eye set on making an offensive linesman once I heard that it wasn't as demanding of a position for TPE earning, since I honestly had my doubts that I could max earn with already being in the SHL and the PBE, where I'm trying to max earn in both (nevermind the fact that I am greatly failing at earning in PBE. sad.) I will say though, I made my ISFL forum account way back last year quite halfheartedly. I initially was thinking about making a punter/kicker simply for the heck of it. I mean, hey, why not right? Special teams seems kinda neat and I didn't want to take on one of those big positions in the first place, especially since I was uncertain about my earning capabilities (even back then, when I was only in the SHL at that point). So yeah, honestly assuming that we were full on offensive linesmen creates, I probably would have made a punter/kicker. Fun fact, I came within inches from making a player, but then went to the player creation page and said "too hard" and dipped. But now I am back! Code: WC: 209 26. Football is a game that has been going on for a while, loved by fans all over. But what if you were able to make some rule changes? Talk us through your new version of football, and what would be different and why? WE. NEED. MORE. KICKING. I don't get why it's called football when the only time there's kicks is for extra point attempt, a field goal attempt, or a punt. or kickoff i guess. or onside kick. Okay, there's a lot of kicking in football in retrospect. However, that does not necessarily mean that there is enough. So, what do I suggest then? Honestly, I don't know lol. It would be kinda hard honestly to kick instead of throw, but I think it's mainly because it would take a lot of getting used to. Could you imagine kicking the football to a receiver lol. Besides that, what else could be done? I think lesser downs could make it more interesting. Far more strategy with each play. For example, Canadian Football is played with three downs instead of four, and honestly I think that's really interesting to compare it to American Football. Although, I will say, it definitely feels like football is a nicely and greatly developed sport with plenty of rules and everything being just right. Well, maybe that's because everyone is used to the rules that the game plays under, but I still can't think of anything egregious that they really need to change to the game of football and its rules.
