Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[Highhaschdi]

I first heard about the league from a reddit post for recruiting S22 players. Before that I had never heard of such simulation leagues at all, but I found the concept very interesting and saved it under my bookmarks. After a few weeks I decided to try the league as a late starter and created a player after the draft was over and the season already started. Afterwards I was able to convince some RL friends to join the league, of which especially @tMuse is still very active and with whom there is daily discussion about the league and the fact that @Frostbite sucks.
In the beginning I was not sure if I would really like such a simulation league, but it soon turned out to be a lot of fun. My start in London with the GMs @Modern_Duke and @DeadlyPlayer, who gave me a great welcome in the team, certainly contributed to this. I quickly realized that I wanted to help the team more and so I became a member of the War Room in my second season and later also became the GM of London. I was also lucky to get an expansion team with Dewalt and the Berlin Fire Salamanders, which is a great job and a lot of fun. The league has definitely become an important and time-consuming hobby for me, but it is definitely worth the time.
I would like to thank all the people in the league who make the ISFL such a great place. Starting with HO, the other GMs and all the people who have a job in the league, but I also want to thank the people who focus only on their player and contribute with their activities to make the ISFL work like this and to make great acquaintances and have great conversations.
I also have a good feeling for the future of the league, because we have competent people at the top and the current situation should not reduce the interest in such simulation leagues. I very much hope that the ISFL will still exist in 25 seasons and will be bigger and better than ever before. In the short term future, I would be very happy to see the ISFL teams increase to 16, as this would bring a number of benefits, including probably an improved playoff system. Otherwise, the new sim will hopefully bring new momentum and improvements to the league. I can't wait to see some of the logic errors of the old sim eliminated.
In 25 seasons we will probably have 32 teams in the ISFL, have programmed our own sim with better logic and not just dots anymore and will be broadcasted on TV in prime time.
