1) The league has a rich and fascinating history, and our perspectives on it differ from person to person. In 800 words or more, describe any significant non-playoffs moment in NSFL or DSFL history, whether you were around for it or not. Describe the context, the significant members, and the events. What exactly made this event so famous (or infamous) and why does it deserve to be remembered?
Even with the harsh playoff loss to London, only losing to them by 3, that is not what I will remember this season by. This incident in the league occurred during the DSFL weeks 3 and 4, in which my team was all in the Voice Chat and noticed something very interesting. My player, Jamar Lackson seemed a lot slower than usual, going for negative yards constantly on every play. This was very noticeable, as my player was integral for the Grey Ducks game plan throughout the season. The first reactions were “we were simmed” from the discord chat, but I felt that something else was wrong, not just our bad luck.
As it turns out, my GM shortly told me after the game that the Updater has changed my player’s speed to a letter, not a number like it was supposed to be, and this letter is one that I will wear for the rest of Lackson’s career, F. In the sim, it takes values from 1-100, and the sim does not expect a letter, and it turns the attribute to 1 of whatever value the letter was in. For LAckson, it was quite an important one, being speed. This instantly caused commotion throughout the league, with another team finding out that 7 out of 11 players on their defense were set incorrectly as well. The next phase of this issue was a conundrum for Head Office and the DSFL GMs, with the decision to resim the games or not. The argument boiled down to just resimming Minnesota’s games, where the error proved the most issues, or just resimulating both weeks completely, so everyone has correct rosters, along with an equal chance to better their records from the flawed roster. Most teams in the vote voted by record, with teams that went 2-0 initially voted for just Minnesota, with most other teams that went 1-1 or 0-2 wanting the complete resim. The final decision was to resim the whole two weeks, and this was put on the announcement thread immediately, in which many Minnesota players rejoiced and others questioned another precedent set, which was the “no-resim policy”. This precedent was set in S17, in which a resim was required for the Austin Copperheads, in which 3 players were missing 226 TPE, so Head Office decided to resim the week to allow Austin to have an actual chance to win, but this was quickly regretted, as when the resim occurred, Austin’s problems were fixed, but then 6 other teams were also messed up. This led to then commissioner ADwyer87 declaring that they would revert all resims, and not have any more going forward. Back to the “F Speed Incident” many people were fighting against this decision to resim, as it was now law that there would be no more resims, and people did not want to have another incident like the league has suffered before in S17. However this time around, the league is under new management, with now Commissioner Bex stating that this no resim rule was not in the rulebook, so they could in fact resim the games, and make sure all errors are fixed, and ensure that as big of an error that occured can be fixed, as opposed to teams getting screwed over by this incident.
With this incident being fixed relatively quickly, the resim was slated to occur 2 days later, everyone in the Minnesota Locker Room was ecstatic, as we now had a chance to win, even though in the sim file for the resim we actually won a game vs Tijuana. Unfortunately, Minnesota went on to lose both games again, but at least we had a fair chance to win, unlike when I apparently misplaced my legs before the game. This was a big event of Season 22 of the NSFL, as it showcased both a quick response from Head Office with a solution that pleased most, combined with the creation of something better, that will last for at least my entire career. This was the creation of the F speed meme. I have worn it as my username in general chat since the incident for a combination of wanting recognition, along with the fact that I embrace the meme with open arms. This event deserves to be remembered as the thing that happened during S22, as a player who went in the 7th round, 2nd pick lost his legs prior to a game, causing the league to revert to 2 weeks prior to a time when he did. This moment will forever be remembered in Minnesota, as it energized the team to turn their resimmed 1-3 record into 8-6 to end the season and bring the Ducks to the 1 seed. Even after losing in the playoffs, this resim and the F speed player meme will be entered into NSFL history for all to remember. Lets get some F’s in the chat for my speed.
