This league become pretty important for me, for some reason. Coming into the, back then, National Simulation Football League, i had no idea that this kind of sim league was so common in the United States. I had played a few sim games (still do), but nothing quite like this. So, seeing the reddit post during the Season 18 recruitment drive was good, as i love your type of football and what better thing to do than to be a part of a game with loads of people that enjoy the sport.
The player creation part was a bit awkward, as i was used to playing browser games that did all the math for you, all you needed was to input what you wanted and the back end would do the rest. Still, like i always say to new players when i catch them on discord, it might take a bit to get used to the forum updates style, but once you do, it is copy paste and not a lot more.
After creating, i also decided to try out discord, as i knew what it was, but never really needed it for anything. As soon as I join the NSFL discord, some so called General Managers started talking to me, asking about my objectives as a QB, while telling me that being a QB on this league was the most demanding position, as it had limited spots, 10 at the time.
The most memorable moments i had on the league on this year and a bit are definitely the drafts, especially the NSFL one. After a decent season with Cue, where he threw for a lot of TDs and led the Portland Pythons to an Ultimini loss against the Tijuana Luchadores, i knew that whoever drafted me would be my "home" in the league for the entirety of Cue's career, so i had hoped to be drafted to a good locker room, with cool and funny people. I worked really hard to be near the top of the class, i think i got to the draft 3rd in TPE, but i got my hopes low, as i knew that it was highly unlikely that a QB would be drafted on the first few picks. Nevertheless, i was drafted in the 2nd round (18 OA) to the Arizona Outlaws, where i stayed until now, and will stay until I retire this player soon. Unfortunately i could not repay the Outlaws so far, but i am going to have one last shot at it in Season 26.
