I've had a great time playing simulation football here, as I'm now on my second player here, and hoping to see my first inducted into the Hall of Fame. I think the most important thing that has made my time here so great is how many incredible people have worked their asses off to keep this thing running. From Head Office, to the general managers, to the simmer and streamers, going the whole way to the updaters, graders, and rookie mentors. This league couldn't run anywhere near as smoothly if it wasn't for the immense amount of hard work and dedication from all of these great people. I do have to say that there are some people here that I just have to shout out because working and playing with them has been an incredible experience.
@speculadora - What can I say, man. You've been great since day one for me here. Not only were you a wealth of knowledge for someone who was still relatively new to this whole sim sports thing, but you became a good friend as well. In my mind, you'll always be this league's GOAT GM, but I may be biased because of the the three Ultimus trophies I have to show for my time with you at the helm of the Otters.
@DeadlyPlayer - I'm really glad I've gotten to know you during my time with the Royals, but super sad that I never got a chance to meet you earlier. You're a real character, dude, and I mean that 100% as a compliment. You obviously have a lot of love for this team and are always super motivational whether by love or by all caps yell-typing. lol My time with the Royals will always be some of my favorite memories with this league and you've been a huge part of that.
@nunccoepi and @iseedoug - It's been awhile since I've gotten to talk to either of you two, but I would be remiss to leave either of you off this list. You two were my first GMs way back when with the Luchadores and bear most of the responsibility for me coming to love this league. That Lucha locker room was incredibly fun, mostly because of the atmosphere that you guys fostered there. Even though we never broke through for that Ultimini during my two seasons in Tijuana, I had a great time being a part of that team and I just have to say thanks to both of you guys.
I could have put maybe 30 or 40 guys on this list, as there are so many other teammates or people I've worked with that have made this league an absolute pleasure to be a part of. Just know that I'm incredibly grateful and thankful for all of you.
