7) Awards season is a big part of the offseason festivities. Take the stand, in 400 words or more, for one or more players that are not your own, and argue why they should receive awards glory. They can be your teammates or anyone in the league. How did their stats and on the field contribution contribute to their case this year?
As the most recent winner of the DSFL's Most Dedicated Member award, it is the only one where I am uniquely qualified to put forth an argument for who should be my successor. While there are several deserving candidates from the S25 class who have received attention around the league during their short tenures, I feel compelled to speak on behalf of @Swanty for his contributions thus far (as I know he would never brag about himself!).
13) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S24 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
Since this will be my last chance to complete this particular task, I want to take this opportunity to show some gratitude for those that have helped introduce me to the league. Without the help of those listed below, I would not be active on the site at all.
It was just under four months ago when my good friend @ddrector sent me a link to the old jcink forum. Against my better judgment, I registered and have been going full bore since then. In addition to having an experienced user to show me the ropes, I also had the help of another good friend @Slothman07 to compete against for draft position and on-field success.
Undoubtedly, the drafts have been the most exciting time of my tenure as a user here. Being interviewed by multiple teams who all want to know how you can collaborate towards a greater goal with them is a feeling that is hard to top. During this scouting phase of the S23 DSFL draft is when I met @Sylphreni, one of the GMs of the London Royals. If I could pick one user that has been most instrumental in my success so far, it would have to be Syl. Since day one, he has shown a legitimate interest in me as a user and has trusted me (and the other rookies in the S24 and S25 classes) to build an inclusive, welcoming environment in London.
Before long, I was brought into London's War Room where I met a few other users who would be instrumental to my development--@Highhaschdi, @DeadlyPlayer, and @Modern_Duke--all current or former GMs of the Royals. From this group, I have stolen an immense amount of knowledge and experience about team culture and learning what it means to be a DSFL GM--and they opened my eyes to the world of the sim as well!
A few other players have also joined me in the War Room since my rookie season, but there are two stand out above the rest, @Z-Whiz and @abh89. These two are just as responsible for London's successes as I am, if not moreso. Since joining the team Z and abh have devoted dozens of hours towards the sim and in our locker room, all in the name of making sure the Royals are putting their best product on the field while making sure we maintain a fun and active environment where other users want to be.
As far as the rest of the prompt is concerned, I personally couldn't care less about the early success of Juan Domine. As I've told numerous GMs across two drafts, the team will always be my primary concern. I am so happy to have ended up as a Royal, and there isn't any other place I would rather be.

- When I wrote this article, Swanty had a bank account of over $75M as a non-recreate rookie. This alone is obviously not enough to win any award. However, Swanty has accumulated most of this wealth in under two months almost exclusively through the unenviable task of working on the Wiki. Since joining the site, Swanty has earned more money from Wiki contributions than any other user and is already 3rd all-time in money earned from the Wiki.
- In less than a month, Swanty took a league job on the banking team. Go to the Processed Transactions page, and you will see Swanty's name on most of the posts in the subforum.
- In addition to all of this, Swanty still takes the time to make regular media posts (a handful of examples--he submits a 'DSFL Team of the Week' after every game, he recently made a Google Sheet with a list of every possible player that could be taken in the expansion draft for other users to make mock drafts, halfway through the season, he highlighted many DSFL users who were in contention for seasonal awards), and he still takes the time to frequently comment on other users' forum posts and remain active on Discord.
