I was going do question 6, but the more I dove into it, the more I wanted to make a media article about it, so keep an eye out for that!
7) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S26 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
A) I have made some dumb decisions on my time on this Earth, the very least of which is joining the ISFL community. I actually answered this last season, but after my first full season, I wanted to see if anything changed in my answer. And honestly, it has. I feel much more involved and a part of the operations of the league. When I was first welcomed in by Schwarz and Kyamprac I felt like the league cared about my presence, and was genuinely happy that I joined the league. Which was crazy because they didn't even know me! And then I spent more time in the league and I met so many more people that were glad to have me here! Meeting Tonzy and Shuff and GM and basically all of Tijuana has made it all worth it for me. I feel entrenched in the lore of Tijuana, as and the awards committee member I have made myself a presence in the LR as well. I am glad that my player went to Tijuana not only because of the amazing people I have met, but because of my players performance. I had over 1000 yards rushing, I was used in the passing game, and I can't see my stats being even better next season! The draft experience that I went through in the DSFL draft could not have been better for me. It all felt like it took a year, with all the interviews and getting to know the people who make the league run. I was taken in the second round when Tonzy traded up to get me, and I will always be so grateful that I got that chance to play in the best LR and grind for that 9th championship next season. For the league as a whole, I have no problem saying that I see no problems with anything! The amount of personalization that this league brings is so cool, it is what I imagined when I joined up. I would love to see the wiki be more active, but the fact that there is a whole wikipedia dedicated to the history of the league is unfathomable. I can't wait to see how we grow as a community, and I can't wait to welcome those new members in just like all of you guys welcomed me! Let's enjoy some dot football, like nobody has enjoyed dot football before!

8) Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league.
A) This is the story about how a tweet landed Drip Dad in Tijuana, a pairing that will be written about in the history books. During the draft process, Drip was in all of the locker rooms except one. Tijuana. Long known as the Fort Knox of DSFL locker rooms, Tijuana only lets the select few in. These select few are champions among dots, the best of the best. While doing prospect interviews before the DSFL draft, the whole time Drip had Tijuana on his mind. Coming off their 8th Ultimini title over the London Royals, they were proven to be winners. And Drip wanted to play for a winner. He was thinking about the best way to go about this, because begging wouldn't be sexy. Sneaking in wouldn't work either, so there was only one option. He had to be drafted by the Luchadores. But here's the thing, it was a week before the draft and Tijuana hadn't even reached out for an interview. It was mind-boggling, every other DSFL team had reached out to the running back about playing for them. People started to talk, draft buzz started to push Drip Dad into the top flight of running backs. And still, no mention from Tijuana. He had to find a way. A way to get himself in front of the decision makers. It wouldn't be easy however. No amount of self promotion had worked so far, so he had to find something different. Something so drastic, that there was no way that the top brass of the Luchadores could ignore it. After many sleepless nights and days of brainstorming there was still nothing. It had seemed as though it was not meant to happen. Drip Dad's destiny was to end up somewhere else. He wasn't mad about it, just disappointed. Then one night, Drip awoke in a cold sweat. His girlfriend, Jessica Alba, asked if he was okay. No, Drip was not okay, how could he be okay with an idea as grandiose as this! No, Drip was not okay, he was a genius. He ran over to his desk, opened his laptop and typed in the search bar, T. W. I. T. T. E. R. It was perfect! How simple it turned out to be! The delusions of grandeur he had all but forgot about. The Ultimini championships, playing south of the border, being a Luchador, it was all possible with a tweet. And so he tweeted. He picked out the perfect GIF, drafted the tweet, and with the approval of Jennifer Aniston, his other girlfriend, pressed send. That is the story on how Drip Dad ended up as a Luchador. The perfect tweet.
