11) Make an argument for who should be named “Most Dedicated Member” of the league this year. What have they done to deserve this award? Have they made some major breakthroughs with sim, taken on an important league job, done a great job mentoring rookies or something else?
I believe the “Most Dedicated Member” of the league this year should be given to my fellow Duck ThunderTitan (Damian Blackfyre). When I first came into the league last season, the locker room leader for the Minnesota Grey Ducks was easily ThunderTitan. He was the most helpful person in the locker room. He helped me with updates, learning the locker room, and navigating the forums. He is a great mentor to anyone in the DSFL as well and makes everyone's life a lot easier and is a great person who can help the entry to the league. Not only is he a great locker room mentor and helps with forum navigation, he is the most dedicated user in terms of making graphics for people and also helping the league out with Dotts. Whenever someone asks him to make a sig for them, he instantly accepts and does it for anybody. That is a big part of the league because he is one of the people who helps add that sense of immersion to the league that makes the ISFL so great. Not only will he do signatures for his friends, but for new rookies as well. As a rookie, seeing your render in a card and in the uniform of your brand new DSFL team makes new users want to join the league. As a part of the DOTTS creation team, he is vital in making the cards and contributing to the design of the cards. Whether a user is involved or not, DOTTS are a huge part of the community where many people have subscriptions to receive packs daily. ThunderTitan makes some of the best cards I have ever seen and getting a card makes users feel like their player has come to real life. Another reason he should be named the “most dedicated member” is his dedication to just being a great teammate. On game days, he is always the first one in the locker room hyping the rookies up and everyone else. He is the first one to help people out when they are looking for something, and he is the first to make sure the members are dedicated. In the DSFL, having locker room leaders is so important is player retention. When you have locker room leaders in the DSFL it is the first entrance and experience in the league and it can make or break whether a player will stay loyal and active to the DSFL.
9) What is it that keeps you interested in the league? Is it your love of dot football, the community, a specific job or role you play, or something else? What do you like most about it? What could be improved?
There are numerous things that keep me involved in the league. One of the biggest things that keep me involved in the league is the community. Overall, the entire ISFL community is amazing and everyone just wants to contribute to the overall wellbeing of the league and see it thrive. In terms of specifics, the best part of the community is the team locker rooms. I am on the Minnesota Grey Ducks for the DSFL and the Philadelphia Liberty for the ISFL. In both of those locker rooms I have made a number of great relationships and bonds with the people in them that make me come back to discord every single day to hang out with them. In my first season with the Ducks, the locker room was absolutely everything I could imagine and more. Everyone was super welcoming and just wanted me to be a part of the team. On game days, the locker room was energetic and made me excited about watching the games. Watching the games in the sim is a lot of fun but it is so much more fun to watch it with the locker room. In Philly, I was welcomed with open arms and everyone was fantastic about it. As it was my first ISFL locker room, everyone had been there for so long but instantly I had felt like I had known the people there for years. Pat and Cody were awesome and even though I do not play for the Liberty yet, watching the games with them was great because I could feel the energy. Another thing that keeps me interested in the league is the strategic aspect of the league in terms of drafting and scouting. I really enjoy being part of both my ISFL and DSFL war room. It is such a unique aspect to be able to get to know prospects and scout people to join the team. There is no better feeling than being drafted or welcoming a new prospect to the locker room and seeing them become a star. Although I was not involved with it my first season, I quickly got involved in scouting during my first ISFL season and my second DSFL season. It added a brand new aspect to the league that I had not seen before and added more depth that I was desiring. I look forward to being part of this community for hopefully years to come and grow more bonds with people.
