1) Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
Written: Give a short write up of one or multiple playoff matches. If completed before the airing of the sims, give your predictions; if it is afterwards, give a review of the game.
Graphic: Make a graphic displaying the matchups in the playoffs. If completed before sim, predict scores and show stats; if after, give a summary of game showing stats and top performers.
2) League Milestone
Written: This year is the 20th playoff season of the NSFL. In your opinion, what was the most thrilling playoff game of these past years? Give a review of that game and why you consider it to be great.
Graphics: Create a graphic depicting the major stats and performances of your chosen game.
Austin winning the Ultimus game of course. Austin are the single greatest team in NSFL history and its not even close. From beginning to end and right out of the gate, austin established themselves as the dominant team in this years Ultimus. Whether it was the consistency of Crisco banging either a field goal or a long dick bomb punt , Cole being shifty and throwing pick sixes or the Austin god tier defense bailing everybody out again. This years game had fun for all the family.
Sadly for Yellowknife fans they never really got their offense going as it just continued to stall out on every drive no matter what they ended up doing. I truly believe that the Yellowknife wraiths are legitimately cursed when it comes to winning a championship. Despite their absolute dominance when it comes to the regular season, when the Ultimus eventuslly rolls around they just cant get it together. Truth be told the game was really over by about the midway mark, on the ground they couldn't really get any level of movement and when Okura was vulturing like he normally does, neither could their air game, Yellowknife was boned. Unlucky one fellas, better luck in next year's game
3) Revenge
Written: Write 200 words about a team you’d like to get revenge on next season and why. Did they knock you out of the playoffs? Blow you out?
Graphic: Create a graphic on why the stats back up that you’ll beat them next time.
4) Rivalry
Written: Which team or player would you consider to be your greatest rival? Write 200 words on why you are rivals with them and why you want them to lose (don’t harass other users please).
Graphic: Show the comparison between you and your rival team/player.
5) Armchair GM
Written: What moves could your team make to improve for the next year, be it in free agency, keeping players, the draft, etc. (Please be careful to avoid tampering.)
Graphic: Show us a step by step plan for future improvement.
6) Expansion
Written: There have been a lot of new players entering the league recently. If you were in charge of a new expansion team for the NSFL or DSFL, how would you go about it?
Graphics: Create a design for your new team.
7) Next Year
Written: If your team didn’t win the title this year, why do you believe they can win the next year (or the year after that)?
Graphics: Create a graphic showing the improvements your team could make to win in the future.
8) Scouting Report
Written: Write a scouting report for one of the incoming draftees in either the NSFL or DSFL.
Graphics: Create a graphic showing their stats or attributes.
I think He hate me is in this draft class and truth be told the guy is a mong, I'm unsure of if his player is like this but for argument's sake he seems the type. Now we had a guy similar to this a couple of seasons ago but granted instead he played on the offensive side of the ball at wide receiver , yes folks I'm talking about the man who committed online blackface, none other than sweet motherfucking Jones. Now you see where jones went wrong was that literally everybody knew it was a character, and so did he at the beginning. But after a decent chunk of time things began to change or rather, some things didn't. He eventually couldn't seperate his on field bellend attitude from his actual personality.
I guess what I'm getting at here is that he hate mes on field issues pale in comparison to his off field antics because generally he acts like a knob head and nobody really knows if he's joking around. Teams are hesitant to pick him up because of this because it limits their leverage in free agency when you've got s monumental cockwomble on your team like him.
In short, his on field ability is fantastic but Jesus fucking Christ is there something concerning about his Antonio brown level braindeadness off the field.
9) Brotherly Love
Written: We always talk about what teams and players are our rivals. This season, give me what team or player you have a soft spot for.
10) Reform
Written: If you were in charge of managing the league, what changes would you make to make it better run?
For a start I would abolish this shitty fucking Ultimus week that offers no purpose to new or old players beyond being a word dump that every user blows their load into for ten shitty TPE.
Secondly I would encourage owners of various teams to should they have a straight ripped logo that might cause us problems in the future, to change and rebrand to have original works. From this we could go the route of creating custom merchandise, like your hats, shirts hoodies whatever, since we would own the branding we would be Gucci. From there we can offer merchandise to users who donate out right and allow them to build up credit, the league would benefit from this by using the remainder of the funds to get the site off jcink and onto any other reliable form of hosting such as Invision or maybe.
Thirdly, do not fuck up the league by forcing a four team expansion. You will spread everybody far too thin roster wise along with the fact that we don't have eight competent general managers to run the four teams. Stick with two and the following season if need be, expand again beyond it.
Finally I would ask to not go the route of cringing a cringe kid CoC like the PBE has where jokes are banned. We already have it in place where verbal attacks that cross the line are punished, don't fuck up our league further by enforcing some PG ass bullshit just for the sake of protecting the leagues oddest people.
11) Playoffs MVP
Written: Wrote about a heroic performance on the field by any player this playoff season. Why do they deserve to be called the MVP of the playoffs?
Graphic: Create a graphic for said player showing their stats in the playoffs.
12) Interview a Star
Written: Interview a player who is in either of the league’s playoffs this year. You must ask at least four questions, at least three of which must relate to the league. YOU MUST POST THE QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS FOR CREDIT.
13) Get Interviewed by a Fan
Written: Answer questions for an interview from a fan. You must answer at least four questions and at least three must relate to the league in some way. Link to the interviewer’s PT to receive credit. NOTE: THEY MUST POST THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR YOU TO GET CREDIT.
14) Hoisting The Trophy
Writen: no written option
Graphic: Create a graphic of your player hoisting the trophy!
15) Superstardom
Written: No written option
Graphic: Create a billboard, magazine cover, or video game cover depicting a superstar of the league.
16) Dynasty
Written: Convince us that your team will be the next NSFL or DSFL dynasty.
Graphic: Show us stats that back up your reasoning.
Austin are no doubt the next dynasty around, that's something that they yeti couldn't do in twenty seasons, I know I know low hanging fruit. But seriously, the team has drafted so well to be in the position they are right now , that when every single draft rollsbaround we either have to trade the existing player or the current pick because we have a logjam. I'm sure expansion will fuck us without lube but we have shown ourselves as one of if not the best teams in terms of scouting and drafting while not allowing ourselves to be hamstrung spending time wooing free agents that had no interest coming here in the first place.
In terms of slip ups, bar adam having forgotten to vote like twice , there's really only been one fuck up and that's how the butters situation was handled. From the outright , I was against the decision to cut him from the team because I felt at worst he might have maybe a fine or a game ban but we have a Lr strong enough to overcome this. In the end we cut him and he went to SJS on a free and while he does have the odd questionable moment, he is one of the users I enjoy interacting with on site because like me , we are both severely small brained.
17) Robbed
Written: Write about why your team was robbed from making the playoffs. How did the sim screw you, and why were you more deserving?
Graphic: Explain with a graphic why your team was better than a playoff team.

19) OL or K/P Appreciation
Written: Write about an active human offensive lineman or special teamer that is in the playoffs, and how they will or did affect the outcome.
Graphic: Create a graphic about said OL or K/P and give stats of their season or playoff performances.
20) Ultimus Ad
Written: You and your teammates are to appear in a famous ad to be aired during the Ultimus. What is it about?
Graphic: Create a graphic depicting this ad.
As always have fun with it and please give feedback on the tasks and how I can improve it for next season. Also, PM me with any questions about how this will be graded or what I am looking for with these questions.
