Hi ISFLers!
As Laser outlined in the Line of Scrimmage league newsletter a few days ago, we've been exploring options for replacing the lost income as a result of Twitter closing off its API. As a temporary measure, a task was released for this week only: a very short writing prompt for which you will receive $800k. If you haven't done this one yet, you have until Sunday to get it done!
Now however, we are happy to announce that the permanent solution will be a major enhancement to our Discord payout scheme. Previously, you were paid at the end of each season based on the MEE6 level you reached in the official ISFL server. You ascend through the levels based on the number of posts you make (though when you make a post, it won't count any other posts for another 60 seconds to discourage spamming). The posts required to reach each subsequent level scale, so while it takes 4,675 XP to reach level 10 and receive $1M, it then takes another 19,175 XP to reach level 20 to receive $2M. To say it more explicitly, you will earn $100K for every level you are.
The main enhancement we're making to the scheme is to reset the MEE6 levels and pay out weekly rather than seasonally, with the XP resets happening every Monday. So previously, a user who made 50 qualified posts per week would have earned $1.5M. But now, because the levels are being paid weekly, our example user would instead receive $500k per week for a seasonal total of $4M.
And if that's not enough, we're also multiplying the XP earned from each message starting from Monday. You'll now earn an average of 40 XP per message (up from 30) helping you ascend those levels even quicker. In our example from before, someone posting 50 qualified messages per week would earn $4.8M per season!
And if that's not enough, users who have players in their first 3 seasons (so at the time of writing, S39/S40/S41 players) who are a member of the DSFL server will also have a separate MEE6 level which will be paid out in the same way. This will also be added in time for Monday. So for those of you early in your player's career who need some fast cash, participating in both servers could net you a solid income.
Those of you in league leadership may have been a part of earlier brainstorming discussions where we explored a number of other alternatives such as making the current mini money task a weekly thing. Ultimately we decided that encouraging Discord participation little and often was the way to go as, unlike Twitter where accounts are relatively siloed, participating in a league-wide Discord encourages everyone to come together as a community.
Rather than this being a data entry chore (or something that can be automated and forgotten about), we're hoping that posting in the league Discord will end up being something we want to do naturally, whether that be following along with the game streams, participating in game nights or other events, or just chatting with people around the league that we might not interact with in our team locker rooms.
And to aid the revitalisation of the ISFL server, we're looking to rebrand our Community Mod team to the Community Engagement team. While the team's responsibility of moderating the server will still be there, we really want the focus to be on creating an inviting space, hosting events and engaging the community to come together. With that in mind, we will be looking for a new Community Engagement team members + a new department head, so keep an eye out for the job postings if that sounds like it could be a good fit for you.
If you have any questions about the new scheme, feel free to post below!
