PBE PT (2.5 TPE)
16) The bank now accepts ISFL currency in exchange for real money – every ISFL dollar counts as $0.50 in the real world. How much money would you exchange, and what would you spend it on? (2.5 TPE)
If for some reason banks would accept ISFL currency as actual US tender at a 2:1 rate, I would now have $3,720,190 in my bank account. Now provided that this massive influx of cash doesn’t set off all sorts of red flags with the Internal Revenue Service, the last place I would want to keep it is in a basic savings account due to the extremely low interest. First thing, I’d finally buy a house. I’ve been saving for the last few years, but that hasn’t helped since the housing market is absolutely insane out here. Houses have risen in cost by hundreds of thousands, and people are still putting in cash offers 100k+ over asking without even viewing the property. Other than that, call me old and boring, but I’d throw the rest of it in an investment account and just let that baby grow. I’m young, and with time that money will grow into the 10’s of millions by the time I’m eligible to retire with my pension in 18 years. I know it’s not the super flashy “buy tons of hookers and blow on a yacht in the Mediterranean” response, but I’d rather secure my financial security for the future.
21) What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why? (2.5 TPE)
Call me a little biased, but the team with the best branding in the International Simulation Football League would be none other than the Yellowknife Wraiths! In the land of the frozen wastelands of the North, what isn't there to like about the looming, ominous presence of a supreme undead overlord. Sure it is a little Game of Thronesy, but that was all done really well in my opinion, with exception to the final season. Their color scheme is solid, and the logo is on point and really puts together the overall theme. As for teams that could use an update, that would be Chicago 100 percent. I get what they're trying to and it's a good concept, but that logo is just something awful. I mean, that thing looks like a kindergartener drew that with crayons during art class. Their color scheme is flat, bland, and looks way too similar to Colorado's colors. Since those two are in the same division, the color confusion games happen twice a season and it is extremely difficult to tell which dots belong to which team. The fix should be simple. The concept is good, but the colors and the logo need some work. Things will be looking pretty good once those get fixed.
28) We’ve now finished a whole season in the new sim. What do you think about it? Are things working well for your player and team, or are there changes you think might be made? (2.5 TPE)
While the new sim is definitely more pleasing to the eyes, it is not exactly perfect by any means. First thing is how long the sims are now. For teams at the end of the schedule, we're having to wait an hour plus before we get to watch our team. This is significantly higher than the previous sim, where every game would be over and done with within 45 minutes. Another thing I've noticed, is the overall lack of production from the Safety position across the board. This also plays into what I think is working well with my player. My defensive production was cut in half in the new sim...IN HALF. I went from averaging 100 or so tackles a season to 50.. Often times I would notice my dot just literally stand in one place until a pass has been caught, then it would react to the play, despite all play recognition stats being maxed out. I didn't see any sort of benefit from having the Competitor perk, and the Competitiveness attribute did not seem to be as important as I initially thought. We will see what the buffs to the Safety position have in store for next season, hopefully things will work themselves out.
