PBE PT 24-1(username: TheCattleBaron)
Tier 2: Short Form Tasks (Each must be 400+ words) 5 TPE each.
I am back here now for my second stint in the ISFL(or the NSFL as it was back then), so my interest in the league has wavered enough for me to have created, played two seasons, then retired and had a 24 season break. Not ideal, but it is what it is and I've decided that it deserves another shot. So here I am with a new create, Buffalo Hunter. He's a Tight End, but with a couple of conversations with DSFL scouts already, it's apparent that I may need to adjust my expectations of playing that position, and transition to something else if I want to be drafted to a team that can use me at my native position. I think I'll be OK with that if it becomes a reality, so it won't be a shock come draft day, and I've been selected by a team that has plans to use Hunter at a position on a completely different side of the ball. I guess that would be defense now that I read that back.
I've been in several football sim leagues so the concept of playing on defense isn't new, but just in case I have been banking all of my Training Points, so that if I'm asked to switch, I don't have a messy transfer of attributes to deal with, and updaters are spared the pain of trying to sort through my update page nightmare. As for the ISFL itself, while most of the usernames have changed from when I was here last in 2017, I do recognize a few and can hopefully reconnect with them to assist with my transition back to the league. I find that knowing at least a couple of users when creating in a sim that is either new, or you have been on an extended break from, really helps keep you motivated to grind through the initial point tasks and "dead" phase between creation and being drafted to a roster. That's something I have been having a minor issue with, but after being added to one of the DSFL team's discord channel, that's a little better for me now.
As for an improvement, I think that the introduction of a league portal that could handle updates, player store etc would be a massive boost to the league and also possibly assist with player retention and recruitment by making it easier to manage being in another sim league. That's not a criticism of how the ISFL runs things right now, but after being in a few leagues that do have the online ability to update and purchase equipment etc, the difference is massive. I've been in these leagues now for well over a decade, and coming back to sim leagues such as the PBE and now ISFL, it can be initially difficult to revert back to forum thread updating. Maybe it will arrive here one day, and I hope it does, but for now we should all just get on with how it it's done here. (505)

I realize now that I've done an extra task. Sorry about that.

11) What is it that keeps you interested in the league? Is it your love of dot football, your locker room, a specific job or role you play, or something else? What do you like most about it? What could be improved?
