Task #8:
![[Image: nv6daj1.png]](https://i.imgur.com/nv6daj1.png)
Task #10: Jason’s first game in football led to an exciting discovery with his parents. He spent most of his life excelling in baseball, but there was always a drive to play football as well that even Jason’s sister seemed to catch. Both Garciaparra children went to see a Baltimore vs Chicago game as a kid and saw the young Chika Fujiwara trying to do her best despite the harsh entry into the league. Even with her struggles, the two future stars were impressed by her constant drive to do her best and were attached to the game of football from then on. Jason took to any position that needed his speed: wide receiver, tight end, defensive end, linebacker, and even some safety. The speed that Jason played at was already something that baseball coaches had told his first few football coaches, but the tenacity and drive that he played with came from the quarterback he saw trying her best out on the field. Nothing seemed able to stop Jason from becoming a better football player than he was a baseball player even if it was in his blood to play on the baseball diamond.
He took his grandfather’s instant talent to the gridiron as he went around each position and impressed multiple coaches and trainers in different camps that told him he had a big chance at being successful in the ISFL when he was old enough. In one camp, former NSFL Tight End, Armor King, gave the prodigy a wake up call on just how difficult being a success in the ISFL would be. During three summers in high school, Jason and Armor King would run drills where they would switch offensive routes and defensive coverage in scrimmages to help Jason work on being a better athlete. Even when Jason moved away to Georgia Tech, he continued to train with Armor King to prepare for the ISFL when the time would come. The former tight end put a good word in for Garciaparra’s defensive talent to his former DSFL team in Kansas City which would result in them taking the Georgia Tech grad in the first round as a defensive back to reprise his role that he had trained with Armor King for all those years. After his time with the Kansas City Coyotes, Jason was selected by the Chicago Butchers which brought him back to the team that he had seen back as a kid but now he was on the opposite side of where he had expected to be back when he was just a kid with a dream.

7. This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S31 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
My experience in the league started in May of 2020, when I created the Game Manager QB Oliver Sloan. While I didn't know a lot about the league I wanted to give it a shot and it wasn't too bad for about a week. When I started getting scouted by DSFL teams I was confused, I didn't know if it was the majors or minors draft. I was selected by the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the late rounds and was able to switch to Safety. I was lucky enough to get drafted 37th in the ISFL draft to the Chicago Butchers. While I didn't actually play a lot for Chicago, I was able to get a few seasons in and was able to make a lot of new friends along the way. When I decided to recreate in June of 2021, my whole perspective of the league changed. I went from it just being a league I earn in to one that I have made just like the PBE. I've found a lot more people with the Kansas City Coyotes, as I got nothing but love for those people over there. They have provided me with so much love and support and I wouldn't change a thing. From Numbers to Noa to Frost, y'all are incredible I mean that. I also have been lucky enough to get scouted by several teams, and hopefully going around my #14 TPE value. It's seriously incredible what this league has done for me and the support is incredible. I wrote more about it recently in media but I gotta do it here to, because I mean, I love this league! I gotta continue a bit more for the work count. So here's a few things. Chicago really changed who I am as a user at times. I love what CC is doing their and while they are on the rebuild status they know how to grow out of it and do amazing things. My switch to defensive end was able to provide them with a ton of help and I'm glad I was a team first guy for them. Thanks for never letting go when you probably should of, as I had no business being in Chicago as long as I was not gonna lie. Kansas City has developed a great wide receiver quarterback duo with me and I'm glad he's a GM so he's gonna maybe help put me on the map!

24. If you could create a team using any active players in the league, what would that team look like? Would you build a group of all-stars to contend in the next Ultimus, or a team full of jokesters for the fun of it? Describe the roster and why you chose the players you did.
QB: Ryan Negs
He's a good dude and he's got a lot of TPE, so he's our starting QB
RB: Jamar Lackson
This guy just signed a 20 year deal with the Sabercats, so I mean we got him long term, plus he's how I ended up in Minnesota so I gotta get him here.
WR: Eleven Kendrick-Watts
I love numbers, so I feel like WR1 is a good spot to put him in this team. Played crazy too
WR2: Mike Hunt
Sparky, oh man, what an LR dude he's gonna be for us if this team came true
TE: Zack DiNozzo
Haseo is one of those people who I have had long talks at night with, so right here would be a dream selection if true. Active Tight End too
LT: Michael Carimi
It's fucking Mike, how could you not like Mike
LG: Cade Williams
Dude Man is so cool, I wanna be him when I grow up
C: Bob Roberts
Zayn is one of the best people I've interacted with so far, amazing dude and I want him snapping the ball to Negs
RG: Icebox Riposte
Mav is one of the most historic members of the PBE, and extremely loyal. I will place him next to Bob and hope he blocks well.
RT: Bruce Buckley
The fucking god tier Offensive Lineman, this guy will for sure go down as one of the best, and I get him here to help out our god squad.
Review:
QB - Ryan Negs
RB - Jamar Lackson
WR1 - Eleven Kendrick-Watts
WR2 - Mike Hunt
TE - Zack DiNozzo
LT - Michael Carimi
LG - Cade Williams

27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?That being said, I will start with the DSFL South and will go in alphabetical order.
The Bondi Beach Buccaneers (love the alliteration): looking at the team name throughout the years..their present name is the best name. Their logo has definitely gotten more dramatic and if it is meant to intimidate teams, it is certainly meeting the mark based on looks alone. Not a huge fan of the color choices. I would probably choose something red, black, and silver.
The Dallas Birddogs: I'm not seeing an information page...the name is cool. The logo is nice. It's hard to judge without some of the history.
The Norfolk Seawolves: I like the logo (I think it's clever), the name is also clever. The colors are classic. They look like the "greatest little boats to ever float."
The Tijuana Luchadores: I had to look up what the meaning of "luchadores" was...but the logo seems to fit. Not a huge fan of the color scheme.
Moving on to the DSFL North, again in alphabetical order.
The Kansas City Coyotes: Their colors are consistent...they seem to have a lot of different logos. It's different on the helmet, the flags, and their standard logo. I would want to remain consistent with those.
The London Royals: Not seeing an information page. The logo reminds me of Orlando Pride and I like the black and gold.
The Minnesota Grey Ducks: Duck, duck, grey duck. They could use an information page. Colors are nice.
The Portland Pythons: New logo looks sweet...I like those colors together. From what I'm seeing, the information page is outdated.
To get down to the nitty-gritty, the team with the best branding in the DSFL, based on their information page alone, would be the Kansas City Coyotes. Their information page is easy to read...it could be more consistent, though.
The team which could most use a refresh would be the Dallas Birddogs. Their name is cool, and their logo is nice, but it isn't very fierce.

RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - TheSparkyDee - 08-29-2021
#10 - I am learned since joining the ISFL that you can be the best earner in the league but still not be able to be on a good team. When I was first coming into the Simulation sports leagues. I did not know about this. I thought you cannot be a good TPE earner on a bad team. So it was just a shock to me to see that but it is good to know that there is a lot of good players with high TPE, still on bad teams and have a better chance to make them better. The fact is that we can have players that are going to be earning at a higher rate and take over teams that can still not be good. We also want to see good Sims. Now I am the head of the DSFL Sim team and I love The hard work the team does to put the Sims on. I am also the main ISFL streamer and I love that job so much it is something that I enjoy doing. It also helps me realize that I can give everybody here in the ISFL a great experience in the Sim league here. It is different from any other sim league I am in. The fact that you can pre-record it and also still be very fun to see the game. It helps me still enjoy the same even after I recorded it. I also try to help people in having cooler experiences with the same like transitions and call music playing like EDM music it gets everybody all excited and ready to go. I have been told that I have a good music choice when it comes to recording for a Sim or even live recording for a Sim in the SHL. What I like about the I SFL is that I can be a receiver and have a decent TPE, and still be untouchable. Look out for Mike Hunt to run the tables next season. And worked his way up to be the number one wide receiver On the Chicago Butchers. He will be a very good wide receiver for the Chicago butchers. He is going to be trying to break the records of the past greats wide receivers in Chicago Butchers history. Fact is that he can do it. He is also going to try and better his game by putting forth the TPE gains and make his player better by getting the special coaching and special archetypes.

#25 - If I was not a wide receiver. I would’ve been a linebacker. Because it’s my favorite position. The fact that you can go in sacked quarterback and also try to intercepted quarterback as well even pick up a couple fumbles here and there. Block a few field goals and block some punts. I think that would be the best position for me and I think that will be my next player I choose after Mike Hunt retires. Mike Hunt is a 6’7 wide receiver. Who is very fast and can jump very high to catch the ball. But with my next player he’s going to be about 5’8 can 285 pounds of pure muscle. Enjoyed going to Blitz the quarterback every chance he could get. And try to break all the records for most sacks in a single season. He is also going to try and break the interception record as well for linebackers. Look out for the new player when I create he is going to be untouchable. Maybe I will just make a kicker LOL. That would be so funny I think if I made a kicker I would make my render Pat McAfee. Or even have my kicker/punter be a render of a soccer player. Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo that would be dope.

RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - Sermokala - 08-29-2021
9. One of the things would be to expand the bounds of what the TPE does to players. Yes players are worse at the beginning but even a semi max earner like me has managed to max out and yet I'm no more notable than the average player in the league and am putting up worse numbers than my first season in the league with a few hundred less TPE. Its really hard to give players a sense of progression when that progression means nothing. I think the largest area of active player attrition comes in that season after you've done your two drafts and your two debuts. Then you're not a rookie anymore and you've got months and months of time ahead of you when you're nothing special and nothing new is going to happen for you. Parts of this would expand the TPE band that the developmental football league has in order to make that something real as well. too many teams just get stacked with maxed players and I suspect that some players just shut off in the DSFL as well as they don't see anything near them that they have to work to with an International football sim league team that doesn't really need them during their rookie contract years. At the same time however, we do see a real difference between players with just the first 50 tpe and when they max 200 tpe later. having a larger band for that tpe gain would make the weeks past the max tpe barrier mean something more as well. One of the major things I wouldn't change about my proposed tpe rebalance would be to narrow the speed band of most players. As anyone knows with a minute of looking at the effectivness of speed in the sim speed is really the most important stat by miles. Safties should have access to 100 speed and speed backs should have the same. However anyone other than these two special cases it shouldn't be allowed. what shouldn't be allowed however is starting everyone at 60 speed it causes what little tpe is spent at the level of the developmental football sim league to go disproportionately to speed. Having a cap on speed for the developmental league and then having tpe minimum being high to begin with would even out everyone in the league and have the real difference be the TPE that they earn and then spend on the other stats a player has.

One of the things I'd be happy to see in a new Butcher's stadium would be a system for artificial air flow. Yes there would need to be rules such as a regular and reliable flow throughout the game but having some sort of air flow coming out over the audience would be incredible. I've been in a few stadiums recently and I can really tell the ones that have been designed to incorporate some sort of air flow. With this air flow is the opportunity to increase or decrease the humidity in a stadium. I can think of a lot of different special effects that can go in if there is control over the air flow of a stadium. When there is a touchdown or a field goal the wind can change. When the home team wins there can be smoke that comes out of the giant ducts. I wonder what would happen if all the ducts then blew air directly into the field. At some point the air pressure would have to find some way to get out. Or even the opposite and always have the air being pulled away from the fans. Never and I mean never even consider how to add smells into this type of addition. I would truly hate something like that and desperately wouldn't want it.

10. Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league.
We are going to dive into the journey of Brock. He comes from humble beginnings, playing at UNC Chapel Hill in the ACC. The Power Five school saw Brock grow greatly from a high school quarterback star and into a great college wide receiver. It was a seamless transition. Brock was a great quarterback at the high school level, but Power Five college football is a different beast. Bodenhamer drew a lot of attention while playing in the ACC. It led to him being drafted by the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. This was a special moment for Brock who would vacation in Myrtle Beach every summer as a kid. He knew the town and the town claimed him as one of their own. His performances in the DSFL were good enough to get him drafted into the ISFL. The New Orleans Second Line who knew Brock very well took him in the draft. Since then, Brock has been a New Orleans lifer, enjoying the Second Line franchise and the city. This team has been through a lot during Brock’s tenure. There were the back to back Ultimus bowls where we thought we were going to bring New Orleans another championship twice. This was a set back for the team for sure, but it also meant that the team had developed a winning culture, getting to the finals on back-to-back occasions. Things come in threes the French say, so when New Orleans gets back there, it should be a win for the Second Line. One of the greatest honors of Brock’s career is becoming a pro-bowler. Having multiple thousand yards receiving seasons. These are all accolades that Brock could only dream about back in his college days. Getting to play in the Pro Bowl was surreal for the wide receiver. He was able to bring his family out to the stadium to watch it live. All their hard work and support over the years paid off when Brock was honored as one of the greats of the league. Now, as mentioned earlier, Brock and New Orleans has their sights set on the Ultimus. Brock is entering the twilight of his career. He will be pushed out of the league by younger and better receivers in the near future. But for now, Brock has a lot of business to take care of. This upcoming season will be a career defining one for the wide receiver. If he were to get a pre-season career ending injury, Brock could hang his hat proudly with the career he’s had.
22. You’re in charge of entertainment for the Ultimus or Ultimini half-time show. What would you do?
This was a mistake. Things are about to get funky at the half-time show. You think back about some of the greatest song and dances and you have to wonder: where’s the cha-cha slide? Since I’m in charge of the half-time show, we are going to get the stadium bumping, bumping, bumping, hands on your knees! Seriously, people have so much joy doing the cha-cha slide. The crowd would love it and I bet the players, if they can escape the intense pressure of the ultimus, would be able to have some fun too. This is all lighthearted and trying to get away from the half-time show being an advertisement for an upcoming album. In addition to the cha-cha slide, we are going to have pyro. Fireworks are going to shoot off the top of the stadium towards the giant scoreboard hanging above the field and then it’s going to explode! Except, when the smoke settles, the scoreboard will light up with SpongeBob and his band playing Sweet Victory. I don’t know if you can really comprehend how entertaining this will be. It’s honestly baffling how this has never happened before at a half-time show. I think this show will revolutionize how we all view half-time entertainment and what it means to be entertained.

RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - woelkers - 08-29-2021
TASK 13: Okay, first things first, while I respect the boldness of the claim this task is making, it is decidedly false. Some members of the league enjoy discussing expansion, but others of us dread the idea; we would rather never hear it mentioned again and are quite content with the league as it stands today. That said, discussion of this topic does always feel inevitable, so, I am taking this opportunity to once again attempt to deter expansion for the near future.
But woelkers, you say, did you not yourself win a bid for this league’s season twenty-five expansion? How can you not be excited at the prospect of expanding again, and seeing what four more great minds can bring to the table for this league? And, admittedly, you have a point; I would be extremely excited to see what might come of two new expansion bids, and I relish the possibility that we might create more opportunities for the users of this league to show what they’re capable of. However, I think we, as a league, need to temper our expectations a bit, and stop getting ahead of ourselves.
You see, reader, what you may not know is that I actually argued against the season twenty-five expansion that I eventually won a bid from. Sure, I made the decision to apply for a bid to test my mettle as a general manager once the expansion determination was made, but that does not mean I did not have reservations about expanding to begin with. I was uncertain about the size of the league, and particularly about our retention rate, and whether they were sufficient to justify adding two more teams to the league. The benefit of hindsight tells me I appear to have been wrong about that, however, I do think the numbers now are far more suggestive that we should not be expanding again any time soon.
The basic fact of the matter is this: while the league does have a strong membership body, our recruitment drives have struggled to create classes capable of growing the league further, all while seasoned veterans of a league long dead have begun retiring from the game for good. We are simultaneously just reaching the point at which members of our season twenty-two and season twenty-five classes should be beginning to retire, and we have no idea how many of those users we might retain. Obviously I hope for the best; many of those users are people I have enjoyed the company of immensely, and I would love to see them return with new players as they retire. But before we are certain they will, we should pause any expansion discussions we might be having behind closed doors; our recruitment numbers alone simply won’t do the trick.
TASK 20: For this task, I've decided to highlight a good friend of mine...Sconnie McHits!
![[Image: McHitsDraftProfile.png]](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/865398449130438717/881569811686109204/McHitsDraftProfile.png)
TASK 24: I want to tackle this task a very particular way, i.e. by only choosing players from users I haven’t had the privilege of sharing a team with yet. I apologize to those of you who won’t be featured here for that reason, but I live for a challenge.

RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - LimJahey - 08-29-2021
The S31 draft class. With humble beginnings towards the end of the S29 season, the hype for the class really materialized once we got a monumental amount of hype thanks to our good friend Half Eaten Onion Bagel. Having a hype thread that blew all other hype threads out of the water, the foundation was set for something beautiful. The S31 class has a lot of remakes, with a bunch of S22 class members making their second player in this class. We also have drawn in a bunch of promising rookies. The first season for these young rookies is now over. With the Grey Ducks beating the Luchadores again to win the ultimini, all of these young firecrackers are now on their way to getting drafted to the big boy league. The draft this season was led by a couple of old standouts, but a lot of new comers really made their mark early on, as shown in the DSFL draft. Out of the first eight selections, six of them were new creates. The two old creates were Ken Oath, who was drafted by the team his user was a GM of. The second was Tessie Garciaparra, who is one of the best people in the league. Some of the standout players from the first round include Sconnie McHits, who was originally a kicker before changing to linebacker. They led the DSFL in tackles with 135 as a rookie. One more standout would be Morpheus Czargyros, who had ten sacks this season, the highest of any rookie. On the other side of the ball, French Fries, drafted tenth overall, led the DSFL in receiving yards with 1596, adding on eight touchdowns as well. The next closest receiver was Jaycee Higgins, with 1300 yards even and an impressive eleven touchdowns, the most of any rookie. If there was a weak spot for this draft class, it would be runningback. Even though 1oa pick Ken Oath had a decent season, he was originally a tight end, with only four runningbacks throughout the whole class, and all taken beyond the fifth round. If there was any doubt to the strongest position group in this class, the linebackers, let me help ease your doubts. First we have the previously named McHits, who led the DSFL in tackles. Followed up by my create, Omni Man, who led the DSFL in tackles for loss with eight, and had the most of any rookie, eight sacks, which is second most of any rookie, and two interceptions. The most rounded stat line, I feel as though Omni Man had a season that was deserving of linebacker of the year, as he was T1 in tackles for loss, T2 in sacks, T2 in interceptions, and 11th in tackles. The only weakness of Omni Man, was his ability to create turnovers. Speaking of turnovers, Tessie Garciaparra absolutely loves turnovers, and loves forcing them even more. With seven forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries, and three interceptions, Tessie was a walking turnover machine. With 91 tackles and 21 deflections, they are a very solid choice for cornerback of the year, but he will have stiff competition as he has to go against Doc Holliday of the Luchadores, who was drafted at pick number 31. Holliday ended the season with five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and six interceptions, tied for the lead in the DSFL. He also returned one for a touchdown, but only had 17 deflections, putting him behind most of the rookie corners. The rookie corners have a lot of competition for their positional title, with another very good rookie season from Sakeem Webb, who was drafted 38th. Tied for the lead with six interceptions, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries, he achieved the most pass deflections of any rookie with 29, good for second across the DSFL. The only disappointing thing about this draft class, is that not everyone stayed active, and not everyone had a good season. Unfortunately, like with every draft class, there were those few who started in the league and left just as quickly. It’s absolutely tragic, but its something that we have to live with. The final position of the S31 class I’d like to go over would be quarterbacks. With three rookie quarterbacks coming into this class, only two of them were starters. Malcolm Savage of the Norfolk SeaWolves, and Carter Knight of the Kansas City Coyotes. Wendel Sailor had to split passing with Panda McKyle, who was drafted into the ISFL two seasons prior. Being a rookie quarterback is very difficult, but both of the starting rookies found success in their first season. Savage had 3766 yards with 19 touchdowns, but also had the second worst QBR. Knight had a really strong first season, with 3503 yards, and 22 touchdowns to only nine interceptions thrown, finishing with a 90.1 QBR. This class has been hyped up twice now, and we are less than a week away from them all going to their new homes. Nobody knows how their careers with progress, but we can be sure that they are the most hyped class in ISFL history.
