Before i got into the league i was totally oblivious to the whole concept of a sim league. In fact, when i first heard of it, i found it a bit weird. However, a friend wasn't having any of my doubts and told me to just give it a try. Well, thankfully he was a great mentor and helped me understanding the mechanics. Where to post, how to set up my player, how to update and so on. I don't know if i would be in the league at this point, probably not.
To this point today i am considering myself a max earner, though i missed 2 predictions (still hurts today). But i realized that it's just not enough to just be a high earning guy but not giving shit about anything else than my fictional player. As i was getting more and more experienced and more secure in the ISFL environment i was engaged much more in everything. That was around the time i was drafted by the Honolulu Hahalua. I tried to be more active in the locker room on discord. My TPE earning rate kept stable and i myself comparing to others in my draft class. I know tho most people that would sound a bit childish but as I am quite competitive i aimed to be the top earner in S23 (damn you Amid! *shakefists*
).
After my second season in the ISFL i was starting to get a bit dissatisfied with my personal user experience. I wasn't feeling attached to the team that i felt i should be. I was thinking about my future and if i really wanted to stay with Honolulu. There were other issues as well. I applied for jobs and for some reason i was unable to get one. That was a put a bit of a factor as well, and of course the misunderstandings at the end of last season concerning the contracts of our inactive players. We lost a few of them to free agency due to a changed schedule because of expansion.
When Gucci reached out to me about my contract extension i was at the point where i didn't see a clear path for the future of the Hahalua. But to give gucci credit, he tried and eventually persuaded me to extend my contract and commit myself to the team. Note to myself: Never negotiate contracts while having a beer or two to many!
After my extension and forcing myself into the war room i really started to enjoy my time in Honolulu. Now i see myself enjoying the sim league experience and am happy to be part of the Honolulu Hahalua for seasons to come, maybe even throughout Heinrichs whole career.
