Quote:3) For any team, certain players and users have gone above and beyond, shaping the legacy of the franchise. Choose any ISFL or DSFL team and create a Mount Rushmore for that team. Who in your mind are the four most noteworthy figures of the team’s history? Why does each one of your included figures deserve that recognition, and how did each of them make their mark?
Since Mount Rushmore is a purely American spectacle that no one in the rest of the International?? Football League cares about, I am not going to do a Mount Rushmore. Instead, we are going to do a totem pole to represent the INTERNATIONAL portion of the International Simulation Football League and also show cultural support to a portion of the population that is severely underrepresented in sim leagues and within real life communities, Indigenous folk.
My totem pole would be made out of cedar wood, as is typical with totem poles, and would be made up of the Core Four of the Orange County Otters, the GOATed International Simulation Football League sim league team that cannot draft but can only sign free agents. Am i doing this right Arizona??? Salty bastards. A totem pole is also fun, as I can use animal faces and other fun figures rather than settling for old faces of old white men.
The top face of my totem pole would obviously have to be an Otter. Duh. This Otter would serve to represent the creation of the greatest ISFL team in the land, Orange County. It would represent the GMs that created the team, Grapehead and DT, and would represent all the players, coaches, management, and off-field staff that have put on OCO branding over the years. Kudos to these two for creating the team that all other teams hate out of jealousy.
The second face of my totem pole would be one user specifically, @speculadora. Spec, along with traitor @Trautner deserve credit for getting me started in this stinky sim league, the dirty little brother of the Simulation Hockey League. Spec took over as co-General Manager from Westfield in 2023, roughly 7 seasons into the Orange County Otters young history. Spec took over an Orange County Team that had frankly been a dynasty in the league, winning three of the previous four titles, and having their bid for a fourpeat denied by stinky Philadelphia in the Ultimus game. Spec's first season saw the Otters lose in the AFC game. Bum. Spec's second season also saw the Otters lose in the AFC game, bum. Spec then took over as Head GM, and helped the Otters enter another era of pure domination. Spec helped the Otters win two titles, in 2027 and 2028 while being around for others. Thus, Spec is being granted a face as a Buffalo on my totem pole, specifically due to the fact we had the privilege of meeting and becoming friends in the Buffalo Locker Room of the Simulation Hockey League. Note that Owen Holloway has the potential to remove Spec's Buffalo face from the Orange County Otters totem pole if he keeps on being stinky and not winning us titles.
Second from the bottom would be used to represent the modern-day Orange County Otters, and represents the team's current and future building block, and the team's biggest and brightest star. This user is going to have a Hall of Fame career in both the Simulation Hockey League and the International Simulation Football League, and deserves to be the top wide receiver of the Otters. That's right, I'm talking Garfield Despacito Jr. We Are Despacito. Gabriel goddamn Johnson would be granted a spot as Garfield the cat, and would occupy the space below the Orange County Otter, and the Buffalo face of Speculadora. Gabe is the greatest Wide Receiver in the land and it is a shame that Holloway seems to think he is better than Mr. Despacito. Alas, welcome to the Orange County Otters totem pole Garfield, our future is in your hands.
The final spot on the Orange County Totem Pole could really go to anyone. Ne Mo may deserve a slot for being so selfless and sacrificing his big and bright Tight End career to learn to block and tough out hard yards for the team. Perhaps a clownfish is in store. Perhaps we just go with a Lime, representing my favourite boy Lime and the sourness of the entire league when they learn Orange County has signed another big free agent. Perhaps we slap on some branding, maybe Smoothie King, representing Orange County's latest Free Agent Signing Eugene Smoothie. However, I ultimately decided on the :paepae: face. This face represents all the good :paepae:'s that have been tossed around in the Orange County locker room, while also representing one of my best sim league friends, Jeffie43. From using :paepae: to describe the sim's results, to making fun of each other, Orange County is a good place. Perhaps if other franchises focused on using :paepae: they'd have the ability to attract and sign big free agents, and would not need to focus on drafting. Am I still doing this right Arizona?
Ultimately, the Orange County totem pole would be as follows;
Orange County Otter at the top
Buffalo in second representing the best Simulation Hockey League team and Speculadora
Garfield the Cat representing modern day OCO and the superior Wide Receiver over Owen Holloway
:paepae: representing fun times and Jeffie43
Git Gud ISFL
