(S11) - PT 4 - Card Collecting

[kckolbe]

Kevin Fitzpatrick has always been an avid card collector, and when Winchester 2017 (the premier NSFL video game) came out with in-game trading cards, Fitzpatrick started buying up as many as he could find. At his peak, he had the largest collection in the entire league, rivaled only by a user known as SimmerDownBruhh, who was rumored to be both an NSFL player (tight end for the Yellowknife Wraiths) and a murderer. Fitz started putting together an impressive collection, and was active on league community forums with suggestions for others. Unfortunately, there was no card for himself, but he heavily campaigned for one, especially since other, less talented players of his draft class already had their own cards. He spent millions of dollars of in-game currency building the biggest collection, until one day it was announced that the game would be shutting down the trading card aspect of the game and deleting all user files. Despite having spent more than any user in the league, Fitzpatrick was not reimbursed in any way for his lost investment. Even worse, he never got to see a card for his own player. Fortunately, years later, rookie draft cards were implemented for free, so at least he has that.

Thanks, PPT, for the depressing memory.
