RE: (S29) PT 2 - Double Trouble? - Ephenssta - 06-03-2021 Option 2: Redbeard McFredbeard absolutley loves birthday parties. They were his favorite thing growing up and he looked forward to them every year. You know those kids who when asked how old they are will tell you they're something like 8 years and 212 days old? That was Redbeard. He always knew how long it was until the next birthday party. Upon learning of this love of celebrating birthdays, the team and his agent discussed how this could be used to create some young lifelong fans, ensuring ticket revenue and merch sales would remain strong well into the future, as they assume that children who get some face-to-face time with their idols will be more likely to buy gear in the future. The problem is that Redbeard’s beard scares children. Football players are usually pretty big guys, and children are often scared of strange adults. So Redbeard is already at a disadvantage, but the kids usually freak out when they see that massive, scraggly beard. It’s not so much that Redbeard himself is scary, it’s literally just the beard. The kids absolutely cannot stand it, even when Redbeard does something cool with it like styling it in the shape of a cake with candles. There’s just no winning, so now he celebrates birthday parties only with other adults and the whole marketing campaign was abandoned. He hopes, though, that there may be a series of television commercials related to birthdays featuring Redbeard sometime in the not-too-distant-future.

I did not expect Butchers and Hahalua to rank the last in the two conferences. In fact, both teams had relatively high TPEs. Chicago Butchers have six players with more than 1000 TPEs, and Hahalua has seven such players. To some extent, the problem with Butchers is the Sim randomness - they lost to Liberty and Hawks in two games with very close points (L34-31, L36-29). Butchers also had another close loss to Otters (L9-6). Butchers' offense points and losses are not the worst - their PF is higher than both Hawks and Liberty, and their PA is lower. I think Butchers can bounce back in the next phase of the season. The picture about Hahalua seems different. Although Hahalua's TPEs are very high, their offensive line seems weak. The weak offensive line limits their scored points significantly for every game. It is hard to get good players for the offensive line, specifically during the half of the season, so it would be difficult for Hahalua to bounce back. I am quite happy with Salfish's performance - I know it is an amazing team, but the current rank #1 does exceed my expectations. I hope we can hold the current position and continue into the playoffs. RE: (S29) PT 2 - Double Trouble? - Lowlycrib - 06-03-2021 When Andy Fantuz receives this piece of mail in his mailbox it takes him back for a second due to have short he has been in the DSFL. Andy Fantuz decides to take a look at his schedule and it appears that the block of time that the party would occur is free for Fantuz so he decides to show up to the party with a couple of gifts. In order to make this day memorable for the young fan he decides to first swing by the training facilities for an extra helmet and jersey after which he gets some of the Coyotes players to sign with him on it and then makes his way to the event. When Fantuz arrived he could tell it was a rather subddued event with mainly family but as he started to make his way over a collective buzz started to pick up and the young fan finally saw what was going on they were ecstatic and ran their way over. Upon staying a few hours and receiving their gifts Andy Fantuz was beginning to pack up and go back home but the young fan stopped to say one last thing which was the wish him luck in the rest of his career and hopefully he could end up in San Jose so he could watch some of the games in person. (228) RE: (S29) PT 2 - Double Trouble? - excelsior - 06-03-2021 - We're now a quarter of the way through the season and the league is abuzz with with both surprises and disappointments through the first four games. Which team do you think is currently overachieving and which team do you think still has a chance to bounce back as the season progresses and why? I think one of the biggest surprises this season is the change up in the bottom of the league. Many are used to Baltimore being the worst team in the ISFL, as for the past 2 seasons, this team has barely done anything. Whether it be a stroke of luck or a sign for greater change, Baltimore is actually performing better than 3 teams, one of them being the Austin Copperheads, a favorite to make the playoffs this season. Many expected Baltimore to be 0-6 at this point, and for Austin to have at least a winning record. The Hahalua can't catch a break however, with 0 wins on the season, which can be attributed to their lackluster offense with a rookie QB at the helm. This team may very well look like how Baltimore may next season as Baltimore will be calling up a rookie QB as well, one with lower TPE. But the offense isn't only the problem, as the Hahalua rank last in both PF and PA. Their defense has given up the most points and yards, so you could argue it's doing even worse than the offense. Meanwhile, at the top, things are mostly unchanged in the NSFC side, with the top teams dominating. However, SJS seems to be doing a lot better than most people thought they would, myself included. RE: (S29) PT 2 - Double Trouble? - SDCore - 06-03-2021 A fan is exciting to see NationalSimulation FootballLeague, that seems a bit odd. I am not the most popular player on Colorado, let alone in the league, but if a fan wants to see my shining face, then see my shining face they shall. If I am going to do this however, I am going to have a ton of fun with it. I am going to go as the Yeti mascot at first. So I will show up as a giant Yeti in a team jersey and run around the back yard chasing the kids. Hopefully I can put a little bit of fun fear in them before we all sit down and chat. Slowly I will reveal my face to the young fan. This will mark a special day, cause not only are they in the presence of greatness, ala me, but they also got to see the Yeti mascot which is the defacto coolest part of the team. After we are done doing presents, to which I am bringing my favorite gaming console, four tickets to an upcoming home game, a jersey, both signed and unsigned, and a special video from the team. Then I will roll out the most extravagant cake possible. This is the icing on what is going to be a great day. RE: (S29) PT 2 - Double Trouble? - AgentSmith - 06-03-2021 Unfortunately, Borgo cannot attend every childs’ birthday party (unless the circumstances were exceptional), as then the demand for appearances would be overwhelming and distracting from his practice and training with the Philadelphia Liberty. Instead of a personal appearance, Borgo will pay for a fully decked-out Liberty party set to be delivered to the child, as well as a personally signed card. Borgo understands that it may be disappointing that he doesn’t respond to most requests for personal appearances, but he still does his best to ensure that the child has a wonderful Liberty-themed party. In a few special circumstances, Borga has recorded a personalized birthday video message for the child. If the circumstances are truly extraordinary, such as for children in the hospital, Borgo will make an exception and spend the day with the child, answering questions, playing games, and just enjoying seeing with a fan who thought of him as the star they wanted to spend time with (usually it’s the stars of the team, like Ryan Negs, Tsuyu Asui, Anders Christianson, or one of the Bell Bros from the defense). The more requested players are even less likely to make a personal appearance, so Borgo often makes exceptions to his own rules and will surprise some children by stopping by the party for a short time, but only if he doesn’t miss any practice or team activities, as he’s fully dedicated to becoming the best TE he can be.

Even though I'm a busy man working out trying to earn my spot on this team as a rookie I think it's in the best interests of my self and my image to at least show up for a little bit at this birthday party. And as I am a big person as well as big personality I'm coming with tons of stuff. First things first football bounce house. we blew that baby up and we're going to bounce our way to elite status. also I'm bringing a classic football video game like tecmo bowl that I can hook up to a projector and play with the young bucks and show him who's the man. course I'll be Bo Jackson just run up the score on these fools. so a day of bouncing around playing getting on the big man shoulders tecmo bowl and just overall having a good time is in store for this young man. after that I'm going to put him on my shoulders run around play a little backyard football get a few sacks and take some pictures and of course head on the moms. overall thing can be pretty fun day for both young man and myself considering I have a big personality and I'm there to just make sure that little man has a big smile and if the Mama single will then I hope I give her a little bit of a smile as well. Overall I want this to be a fun day and one that will look good for both the birddogs and myself.
