RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - crazylemire - 08-26-2021 1. With The Championship Playoffs about too begin in both DFSL and IFSL I will be reccapping both leauges Championship Playoffs with this PT in the first Wild Card series in The IFSL championship we had Berlin Firesalamanders playing Yellowknife Wraiths, this is accattly a game im really interested in because both of these teams have reached out too my player Tony Demonson and i think there my 2 favorite spots to go in NSFC, with Berlin maybe taking slight lead due too having Zarylien my qauterback in Berlin come up too start next season, I watched Berlin Easily beat Yellowknife in vicorty of the wild card championship round my Favorite players of this game would have to be eddie Jeeta on Yellowknife for my Wide Reciever him and Colby Jack had a good game it was a sad one they couldnt pull it off together, I cant forget Kapercolin whos in his last game he had a good game as well and the running back who stole the show in this game was Danny King Juniour from Berlin having a touchdown and over 100 yards there is 2 players on the Defensive line i enjoyed watching thru this game and it was Bambam Mcmullet who had 10 tackles and 2 sacks and other other Defesensive was Swantaivus jones with 2 interceptions and a touchdown, in the next wildcard matchup we seen New York take on Austin i was rooting for New York as my players interviews have been good with them and i havent yet too be talked to by Austin. New York domanitated early and often ending winning the game 47-24, Howitzar for New york had a settler night having a game rating of 133.2 Zoe Watts would be my Running back of the game with 75 running yards. Videl-san stuck out as wide riecever of the match with 2 touchdowns and 165 yards, Mac Griddle is my Defender of the night with his interception touchdown play. In the next game we seen the wildcard New York team take on Arizona oh man what a blowout New york not even able too post a point how dissapointed this makes me in them is unsound, losing 33-0 too the strong arizona team, Cortez played unreal posting a 124 game rating, Deadly Memes is my Running back of the game getting a touch down and 83 running yards, best reciever of the game has got to be Nakaurma who easily could also be the whole player of this game aswell, and im taking arizonas Glen Smart as my defenseman of the game posting very good stats in this game. The next Wildcard team was Berlin too faceoff against the sailfish, Sailfish staying quite ahead most of the game and having berlin press right up close at the very end of the game, Sailfish winning 30-24 Kapercolin playing his last and final game didnt come up ontop but had a better game than the quaterback standing across the field from him, and didnt pretty good for his final game we hope him the best in his retirment, inchnose was my pick for running back of this game grabbing 1 touchdown and 130 yards, my reicever of the game is rookie troy Abed with 98 yards and a touchdown, and Kackpoo who got a touchdown on defense was my defesneman pick of the game, than there were the DFSL playoffs we had Portland take on Minnisota Portland was up until the 3rd half, and Minnistoa evenutally won this game 30-16, The best Qauterback we saw tonight was Rookie Sensation Saylor posting a 108.8 rating and Huntsman domanitated the running back Postion with 2 touhdowns and 44 yards, Hobbes is my Wide reicver pick with 1 touchdown and 33 yards the best defenseman of this game was Nick Kaepercolin Jr son of great Berlin Quaterback, you can bet his father cheering them on you got too wonder if Berlin going too pick him in the up incoming draft. The next game we had Tijiniua taking on Dallas holy shit this was a good game and before i start picking players of the game holy shit Did A.Kicker mess stuff up in dallas this is funny for everyone in the leauge but Dallas and A.Kicker i doubt too see this man ever suit up for Dallas again losing 24-23 because they couldnt complte a 20 yard kick my god. Dallas is crused and Tony wants no part of that organization after that display. The Qauterback of the game Reallyinvisable posting a 97.6 rating my running back of the game goes to Nardello Reciever of game is Toastivich , and Gaylees Marrett takes the defensiveman of the game rights. This games were all fun too watch and I'm stoked on the ISFL and DFSL Finals i think Arizona takes it considering the proformance they put on against New york and for DFSL i think Minnesta goes back too back. *822 words* +10 TPE RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - Thelastheraclid - 08-27-2021 32.

Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why? I originally picked Tight End because I like making playmakers, but I didn't know how much time I would have for ISFL. I'm mainly an SHL guy, and my schedule has gotten very busy in the last few weeks. Even joining, I expected my earning to be much lower than my SHL pace. With that in mind, Running Back and Quarterback didn't seem like positions where I could have an impact. The league puts less pressure on TEs, so I was drawn to that, and then I got to thinking. Tight Ends really are what I was looking for; being a pivoting position that can block or receive means that my player will always try to be wherever the play needs him to be. With the earning pace and ideas of play style in mind, I probably would have elected to make a defensive player instead if TE was not available. Given their line support and backfield duality, I think I would have gone for a Linebacker. Somebody who could defend against the rush or against passes in equal (and apparently half-hearted) measure. Joey Marston would still be mediocre at best though, since ISFL is my second league and my earning has really dropped off from what I thought it could be when I joined. (213 Words) 27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why? In general, this is difficult to say for sure. Resources for branding in the ISFL, compared to the SHL and PBE, are rather varied and hard to find. Hypothetically, all teams have information on their Wiki pages, but that simply isn't the case. The resources section of the Graphics forums is, likewise, only half-useful. That said, I am rather partial to the brandings for Austin, Orange County, and New York. I like the colors for Austin, in particular. Teal and orange isn't something that a lot of teams do, but to take it a step further and go more copper than orange is kinda cool. I like Orange County because of otters; their being the Browns colors isn't the greatest to me, but it does work. I'm not sure how I would change it, but otters are just a great mascot. New York is kind of a homer pick, but I really like just about everything I've seen about it. The teal, light green, gold, and black colors all work together cleanly, and I love the art deco vibe. When I was setting up an expansion bid for the SHL, art deco was a big theme for my Miami concept. I really like the Silverbacks' branding vibe. As far as brandings that I don't like, I have to say, I rather dislike San Jose. Every time I see the Sabercats logo, my brain can't decide if it's Thundercats or Power Rangers. Honestly, half the time I do end up calling them the San Jose Thundercats in my head. Then it's also dark green, darker green, and washed out gold. The colors don't contrast very well at all. I think the definitely ought to do something. To be honest, it'd be kind of interesting to see them lean into that "80s and 90s Saturday morning show" vibe and go for more outrageous colors and cartoonishness. If they wanted to play it more seriously, scrap the darker green for an alternative (navy blue feels right in my brain for some reason), brighten the remaining green a little bit, and then go for a brighter yellow instead of the "gold". Whatever happens, the current logo needs to go. (366 Words) 31. The World Football Association was established last season and is currently playing out for the first time. What do you think about the WFC as a whole and how it has been shaping out. Do you think it will end up a success? I think the WFC can be a success and it's certainly an intriguing idea, but some things need to happen first. Right now, it's only in a separate Discord. I didn't know it was currently running until someone in the NYS LR pointed it out. Granted, I keep myself in only my team Discords in the ISFL, so it may be gaining traction in the main channels and I don't see it. It's still not really being mentioned around the site, though. It has a section for the different teams, but there's nothing really in it. Rosters are also only posted on the WFC Discord. I think, before you even get to how it can improve on the SHL's IIHF model (which has some big faults), they need to just get to the SHL's level. The streams for WFC need to be announced. Since the framework seems to already be in place, posting them like the ISFL and DSFL sims seems reasonable. Actually, doing just that would be a lowkey improvement on IIHF because then people would know it was happening. The big piece that's missing from WFC right now, though, is media. Having media announcements and an index for WFC needs to happen. People saw some of the branding, but there's apparently more now, and there are supposed to be rosters. Who is playing in the WFC? What teams are they on? Who's winning? That this is a question is kinda bad. I think if those fixes are implemented, WFC can and should be successful. (257 Words) RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - Skindog44 - 08-27-2021 Task 18- When it comes to teammates on the bird dogs it doesn't get much better than our rookie running back Delirivm AKA T’Chawama. he came in as a rookie and took the locker room by storm with his activity Anne just happy demeanor. when drafted we drafted him originally as a offensive lineman but due to positional needs he was quick to volunteer to switch to the much needed running back position. and boy once he did, he quickly solidified his position is the type of rookie offensive player. not only did he come in here increase activity in the locker room increase activity on the football field but due to everything mentioned he was quickly made in offensive team captain. each and every week when the simulations are ongoing, he's active cheering everybody on and producing both in the locker room and on the field. he's been an absolute joy to have in the locker room and I hope he continues his activity in presence wherever he goes at the major level. Users like him is what makes this league fun and engaging and keeps people around for the long run. it's not uncommon for new users to come in and make their presence known quickly and often but to maintain that is another matter on itself and I hope he continues to keep his enthusiasm alive and well. Code: 231 Task 19 This is a funny question regarding if my player had a show what would it be considering io torrent already has a show. that bird dog recap show where we take a deep dive into each and every week and look how the birddogs played. well that's an easy one so let's get a little bit more fun with it. I feel I owe torrent is a mimic of my personal personality and I think considering his size and charisma I feel getting some type of a TV show would be within his realm. maybe not during his player career but afterwards when he can give more time to it I would hope that maybe he could star in a passion project bringing one of his favorite books to life. Maybe being the starring role of Royce from the Riyria chronicles. Playing the large sword master who travels the countryside with his best friend Royce the assassin getting themselves into all kinds of crazy adventures in a fun medieval setting much like the Witcher. I think that would fit iOS size and personality quite well and feed into his nerd fantasy novel obsession. if not something like that maybe just a fun comedy show playing the big goofball. Everyone wants a career like the ROCK we might I mention was a large Defensive end in college. Lol Code: 229 Task 21 So I purchased Wolverine studio draft day sports Pro Football 21 or whatever this last season to help out with Sims for the Dallas birddogs. I don't really have a gauge on the comparison to draft a sports Pro Football 16 since I never played it or really even saw it but there are a few things that I would like to see more in the newest edition. for one I think that linebackers are a little overpowering as in real football middle linebackers outside linebackers play very different roles and they play in this game. secondly I'd like to see a little bit more customization when it comes to playstyles in terms of West Coast shotgun a power I or even defensively with more defensive sets and looks. it's hard to really gauge how well it is considering it's dot football and I'm not saying it's not fun it is very fun but having watched super casual football eating using axis and using real life player sprites is always a little bit more fun just because you get to see the hits you get to see the big runs you get to see the big catches. but overall I think it is a pretty good system pretty good engine that just needs a little bit more addition and customization options to really give a good simulation experience. Code: 230 Task 25 So my current position is defensive man and I'm really enjoying that right now and I don't plan on changing it. and the last time I did this task I think I chose tight end as the other position that I would want to play if I were to recreate. that said I think I'm gonna go a different route here and after two full seasons of watching the simulations and watching how positions are really impactful versus others I think I might switch again to running back. running back is a glamorous position that is very important to any good offense but having watched how the passing game works and that a lot of the big plays come mostly from wide receivers and their bursts of speed I think it would be fun to create a receiving type speed scatback halfback that can get a lot of job done on the ground. in my previous tasks I talked about the draft day sports Pro Football and how it needed some changes I probably could add in there that another change would be I'd like to see power backs have a little bit more role and effectiveness. because much like how the linebacker is pretty overpowering speed is an overpowering attribute and I believe isn't balanced well enough with say power, agility and just zero to 100 speed. so if it's still using this particular SIM engine I would definitely be a speed halfback but if it became more balanced to where power backs could be more effective like Derrick Henry that would be a pretty fun position switch for me. Code: 273 RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - KingSean - 08-27-2021 S30 Ultimus Week 11. Write about your team’s biggest rivalry and what makes it so fierce. Is the competition founded in statistics and the team’s recent performance, or is it a rivalry that developed over time during the team’s history that would exist regardless of statistics? The biggest rivalry against our team (Sailfish) is Berlin Fire Salamanders. This rivalry is embedded in many aspects. The first one is definitely the game records between the two teams. While at this moment, Sailfish has been the #1 seed in the conference and cruised into the Ultimus. It was not this easy during the regular season. In the two games against Berlin Fire, we lost to them TWICE bitterly with L21-20 and L23-20. Particularly in the first game, we were leading by 13-7 by the end of the third quarter, but Berlin got two TDs in the last few minutes. The loss was frustrating. Certainly, we cannot deny that Berlin also had great players, and this is why they are so formidable. For example, Berlin Fire has night players with more than 1,000 TPEs, and most of them are at the peak of their career (S24-S26). Two of their WRs have more than 1,200 TPEs, and they created a lot of challenges to our defense. Berlin Fire also has good defenders. Their linebackers (Schell and McMullet) and the cornerbacks (Jones and Lenkins) all have more than 1,100 TPEs. The only relatively weak positions are their defensive line, which is not a surprise since most of the players in a Sim league would not choose the players in the offensive and defensive lines. In the two games of this season, both games were very close. In fact, I would argue that both teams seem to share relatively similar strategies. Both Sailfish and Fire emphasize the defense side a lot, and both relied on their passing strategies more than their running plays. It is no wonder why the two teams are rivalry now - since they are quite similar in many aspects. In addition, Sailfish and Berlin Fire faced each other in the conference final, and the Sailfish finally won the game. Fortunately (well as a fish), the game was not as tight as I expected before the game. Sailfish established a 30-12 lead by the end of the third quarter. It was largely due to a couple of impressive defensive plays (interceptions around the Fire's end zones), that we got nice and efficient TDs. But even with such a large lead, Berlin Fire was still capable of creating huge challenges by winning 12 points more in the fourth quarter alone, ending the game with 24-30. In the next season, both teams will still be at their peak because both attracted a lot of young talents into the rosters. I expect the two teams to continue this rivalry for a long time. Words: 431 14. Describe your player and/or team’s journey through this latest season. What were the highlights? What were the lower points? What might you have done differently? What are your expectations for next season? Sailfish had an amazing season in the end, although the process was not as smooth as shown by the final achievement. At the beginning of the season, we knew that our total and average TPEs were so high that our performance should be good. At the first half of the season, the results were kinda consistent with our expectations. We got a record of 5-2, ranking the first in the conference. We beat very hard opponents, like Yellowknife Wraiths and Yeti, although with only narrow margins (27-25 and 27-24). But on the other side, we also suffered from the Sim randomness, since we lost to Berlin Fire with L21-20. After the half of the season, we lost to Otters and Outlaws in two consecutive games with very large margins. It was a bit shocking to me, although all my teammates comforted me that they were just caused by the sim randomness. Without making much adjustment, we continued and completed the season by 11-5 record, which is pretty good, ranking as the #1 in our own conference and #2 (only behind Outlaws) in both ASFC and NSFC. It was a great journal, thanks to all the amazing teammates in the Sailfish. We delivered impressive stats on both the offense and defense ends, although the offense side seems a bit stronger than the defense. We won 454 points on the offense side, ranking the first in our conference; lost 381 points, ranking the fourth. The highlight is actually that we just won the conference final and got into the Ultimus. Now is just five hours away from the Ultimus. I cannot wait to see the final game! Mario Messi also did a nice job this season. In terms of the features, Messi saved his TPEs for one season and spent all 150 points on the Receiving TE, which is one of the most expensive traits in the league. The trait seems quite powerful, improving Messi in a way that I can observe by looking at the screen (well, maybe it is totally mental...). But eventually, Messi delivered 6 TDs, ranking as the third among all the TEs. Messi also got 44 receivings with 422 yards. With the other TE (Angler from Sailfish), the two TEs helped the team with 11 TDs! Actually, this stat is quite impressive. It suggests that the Sailfish team does not only rely on our WRs to make progress; for the short distance progress, Messi and Angler are very reliable players to receive the pigskin. Messi will get 1,000 TPEs in the next week, and very soon (with about 200 more TPEs), Messi will be able to maximize ALL his TPEs. Certainly, it will be the last season when his TPEs have no discount. But still, I am looking forward to the day to come!

Describe your player and/or team’s journey through this latest season. What were the highlights? What were the lower points? What might you have done differently? What are your expectations for next season? This season was an interesting one for Honolulu and their quarterback Joliet Christ Jr. Honolulu fell a bit short of where they wanted to be which was a playoff position but instead finished on a losing streak to end the season and finished just 6-10 after being at 6-7 and having a shot potentially at a playoff spot. The Hahalua were an interesting team and were generally an average or mediocre team in a lot of different categories statistically. What might have been the most important thing for the team was the emergence of their passing game throughout the season. With that, while the season was an overall disappointment in terms of winning football games, it was a huge step forward for young signal caller Joliet Christ Jr who was one of the better QBs in the entire ISFL in only his 2nd season as a pro. Having solid weapons growing alongside him such as Kai, Salamanca, or Ami and new number one wideout Eleven Kendrick Watts. Christ finished top 5 in the league in many different statistical categories. Christ was top 5 in passing touchdowns, passer rating, completion percentage and was just outside the top 5 in passing yards. What was maybe the most impressive stat on the season was that Joliet Christ Jr. led the entire ISFL in completion percentage falling just short of 70% on the season. He was the league's most accurate passer in just his 2nd year. This means there are likely more expectations for next season having seen what Christ Jr. is capable of doing now through his 2nd season and him still continuing to development. Honolulu is an interesting team and the offense is full of a ton of potential but they are putting together a solid defense as well so it should be interesting. Given time to throw, Christ Jr. emerged as a top tier talent at the quarterback position and next step is trying to lead Honolulu back to the playoffs under his leadership. Can it be done? We shall see but I think Christ Jr. should be able to keep this type of play up especially with the weapons around him continually getting better as well along with a full season with his better athleticism and accuracy and much much more as well! My Predictions/Expectations for next season for the Hahalua would be higher for sure but I am not sure we are there yet to contender status but who knows what the off-season will bring along as it happens very soon. They will have another decent draft pick I believe and try to build upon their young core along with what already is there. The Hahalua have a new co-GM who has some success in the other football league, the Elite Football League, so their management crew comes with a lot of game plan mastering and such and team building experience as well across multiple leagues. Honolulu I think should be expected to finish around 8-8 or 9-7 next season if they keep on a similar path that they have been though they have some pieces that are getting really old but a lot of youngsters to compensate as well. I would expect some improvement from the defense as they were probably the weaker side of the team this past season finishing towards the bottom in a lot of categories and others were around the middle as well. The offense is what will likely carry the team into the next few years and that starts with the big three of Joliet Christ Jr., Cobra Kai, and Eleven Kendrick Watts. I expect this trio of players to be able to continue to improve and set the team for the next little bit. I expect big things but maybe not yet, 8-8 or 9-7 I will be very happy.

The World Football Association was established last season and is currently playing out for the first time. What do you think about the WFC as a whole and how it has been shaping out. Do you think it will end up a success? Honestly, I’m quite excited for it. I think it is a really neat opportunity to meet and play with new people. That expands the user base that people can interact with on a normal basis and is a really nice addition to a social thing that we are all participating in. I’m not too sure if this is intended to give an offseason tournament, if it’s seasonal, or if it replaces the pro bowl, but an out of season event that people can look forward to is a good thing. Also I think one cool bonus could be influencing where people create their players from. Maybe you want to get on a roster sooner and you pick a place that isn’t the USA? I have no data on player creation locations, but I’ll bet that it’s heavily skewed to at least North America. Also, if you are having a bad season, or string of seasons, or dealing with a rebuild this event could be a small hope in an otherwise dismal season. A chance to play on an even field? Maybe win some games, maybe win some money or TPE? At the end of the day I think this is fun and adding a fun event to the league is a good thing. As long as it doesn’t become neglected and tedious I’m all for it! Code: 226 Words 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 In the early morning before the Season 30 Ultimus, Ragnar was pacing in his kitchen. Unable to sleep the night before the big game, this was entirely new territory for the middling Tight End. He had been part of some very good teams in his career with Honalulu, but the best of them fell short of the final game, losing their attempt in the conference finals in S27 to the underdog New Orleans. A home game, their little island was all geared up for a celebration, instead they had to live with the defeat being reminded daily after the game. The memories of this game were part of what was keeping Ragnar up at night. He did triumph over this particular demon last week when Arizona rolled through the conference championship game and solidified their spot in the Ultimus, but this brought on a new worry – completely uncharted territory. After living through the pain and torture in Honalulu of that loss and all the baggage that it carried with it, Ragnar had a pit in his stomach about this game. Now the pit is there for most games that have some importance, but it grown with the proximity. Two teams left, one is going to be celebrating tonight, and for the following weeks into the start of training camp, even through next season. Ragnar wants to be on the winning side real bad. It was forefront in his mind all season, and now that the game is nearly here, he’s excited and ready. He had affirmations in his locker all season, and this goal is what truly fueled him this season. This was a huge reason behind him exploring Free Agency last offseason, and a big pull to Arizona. Hoping he could help be one of their missing pieces to vault a great team over their playoff hump, this is why he signed with Arizona. Now in the early morning of the game at his house, Ragnar is pacing. Not out of nerves, but anticipation. This is a moment he has been building up to his entire career. He has thought about this game thousands of time, visualized the plays, thought up different solutions to problems that may occur on the field. The game is fluid and you have to adapt to win, and Ragnar is ready. He wants to hit that field at full speed, hair flowing in the wind like a herbal essence commercial. Tonight will be the peak of his career. Code: 414 words RE: (S30) Ultimus Week - Muford - 08-27-2021 17 - Ahh yes, the Minnesota Grey Ducks are finally updating their stadium! You know, there are a few things that I would love to see added to such a great stadium already. First and foremost, we need to have Vincent Sharpei Jr. area where you can throw balls to a Vincent Sharpei Jr. look-a-like. How could the kids not love that? Vincent Sharpei Jr. is without a doubt probably the best wide receiver to come out of Minnesota. On top of that, another area would be how to learn to return kicks like a pro, and it will have video instruction and a small little area for you to work on your cuts and jukes with Vincent Sharpei Jr. And of course, there will be a stand area that serves all of Vincent Sharpei Jr’s favorite foods that he has grown accustom to while in Minnesota. You could call this area of the stadium, Sharpei’s corner, so that everyone knows where to go, and after every game, Vincent Sharpei Jr. goes to his little corner and signs jerseys and whatever else the fans brings for an hour or so. What a great guy. Minnesota has been so lucky to have such an amazing presence on their team. Vincent Sharpei Jr’s corner! How could we go wrong. (215 words) 19 - A show revolving around Vincent Sharpei Jr…. What an interesting concept. Well honestly, it would probably have an amazing plot, and do you want to know what that plot is? Well, here I am to tell you what that plot will be. It will break down everything that Vincent Sharpei Jr. has done and there will be a detective, named Mr. Detective, trying to figure out how Vincent Sharpei Jr. is able to do everything that he does without any issue. No injuries, no nothing. He just keeps going. You never see Vincent Sharpei Jr. eat, sleep, or anything, just work over and over again. Long story short, the detective goes and tries to find out if Vincent Sharpei Jr. is actually human, or a cyborg, or an alien, or whatever he could possibly be. And while I already know the answer to that question and what he is, I guess you guys are just going to have to wait until there is a show made about Vincent Sharpei Jr. to find out if he is actually human or something from another world. We are actually about to go pitch this show to Netflix in the coming weeks so be on the look out for this new show. (208 words) 21 - I still have a lot of issues with this new sim. A lot of the issues we had with 16 still feel like they are happening here, but maybe I’m just crazy. The sim does show that the better team wins more often then not, because well, in 16 a shitty team could win, and I don’t think the home field advantage is as noticeable granted I haven’t been watching the games since I stepped down as a GM. But I still feel there are “meta builds” and the fact that there are still a lot of issues with balancing and builds. I have also noticed that the defensive line is actually worse now then it was before in DDSPF 16, which is such a hard thing to swallow. There were supposed to be better and while the sim does have some differences, I haven’t noticed too much of a difference, outside of these new “builds” which we could have just done on DDSPF 16, but they wanted a new sim. I do think still, that the sim was rushed and there should have been more time worked on it before switching and just not enough time to actually be a difference maker in the league as a whole. I still think while it has had some good things, the league rushed a change. (224 words) 25 - While I have my current position as wide receiver, if I could not have been that then I probably would have been a running back. I would have picked running back because well, all of my players have been on the defensive side of the ball sans Vincent Sharpei, who started as an Offensive Lineman and went to linebacker. I just have always been a team first guy in points of players and always been a DL / LB / CB for whatever the team I was on needed, where they needed a max player who would get to a max build ASAP and be a staple for the team. I have finally been able to get out of that mold with Vincent Sharpei Jr. and I wanted to be a guy that can be leaned on, offensively and been able to be a great contributor on that sided of the ball. Is it the best?
