7) My time with the league has been better than expected. I never would've thought that finding a simple reddit post about people who watch dots play football would entice me as much as this has. I was browsing and nearing the bottom of the hot posts on r/NFL when I stumble upon, what I thought to be, a bunch of people who create characters and simulate football like a video game. As a fan of Video Games myself I was quickly intrigued by the idea and gave it a look. I was kind of put off at the start by the way the forum felt like I was browsing the internet from 2008. After making my character and joining the Discord I realized this program is super active. My character got a response immediately, my discord questions were quickly answered and I was welcomed wholeheartedly without question. The rookie mentors are absolutely some of the most incredible people in this league. They are the face of the league for new players that join and man did Schwarz and Guitarmaster give off a great look. After learning more and more about the league and seeing how involved these two guys are I'm blown away by how quickly and accurately they answer a question knowing that they are probably in over 15 different discords involved in the league.
My experience with the draft was one filled with so much anticipation. It had felt like my time before draft was moving at a snails pace. I just couldn't wait to get started. The Prospect Bowl before the draft just let me dip my foot into how its going to be playing with a group of guys in dot football. I loved that time to bond with my fellow draft classmates and even get into the graphics scene and make graphics for my fellow teammates. I was frightened at first of the idea of messing up my character's stats. I was sure there was some kind of meta beyond speed=good but the fact that the sim was brand new I felt confident that I wouldn't be put at a large disadvantage. It was a bizarre experience all together being scouted, getting new friends, complaining about dot referees and how the sim always wanted to fuck you over at the worst possible time. Even though it's been strange, I've loved every second of it.
