Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[enigmatic]

I have been on the ISFL since season 1 so I have seen it all. It's a place where the best and the worst of what sim leagues have to offer is on display. I have felt exhausted by all the drama this league can produce, hence my periods of inactivity, but I always end up coming back. I guess I do find some enjoyment in it after all.

I ended up on fun teams, was part of one of the most famous "dramas" in league history (LVL retires many) and also lived through all the bullshit the ISFL had to offer. It's usually that drama and next level bullshit that drives me away from the league for a little time but I've learned to enjoy the enjoyable parts and now rarely read about anything related to the league. The locker rooms is where the fun is at.

More recently, I have joined one of the best locker rooms I have been a part of in my sim league career so in over 5 real life years. The Dallas Birddogs turned out to be exactly what I needed during this shit year and I can never thank them enough for selecting me and welcoming me to this strange band of misfits. You never know the impact you can have on someone, especially on the internet where things are supposed to be more impersonal but they have helped me go through really hard times without probably knowing it.

Looking at it from that point of view, what the league means to me is a place where I can talk with people and I know I won't be judged no matter what I say. I know I can be difficult and I complain a lot but my teammates always lend an ear and never make me feel like an idiot.

308 words because honestly I can't bring myself to write another 100 for 1 tpe.
