This prompt is one that I am very excited to write about. My first create, Achtfunf, has retired this season so it is the end of the road with me on the Berlin Fire Salamanders. Fuck me though ever since the S25 expansion draft I could not imagine what a great time I would have had on this team and I am so thankful that Dewalt and High took me and I could help to build that team with them and see what it has become today winning 25-7 over the last 2 seasons. I look forward to see how this team continues to go in the future.
So obviously I love every person on this team. I could write a few paragraphs on anyone that has played for Berlin really, so it seems a bit hard or mean to single out only four for some praise but here we go anyway.

I am going to talk about these two together but they will still make up two of the four. It also seems like a bit of a cop out picking the two GMs cause of course they are going to be important to the team. These two have been fucken top notch though at creating an amazing team that is both performing on the field and also having a locker room that is a nice place to be around and had a very welcoming feel to it.
Right from day one of this franchise these two have been the most inclusive GMs that I have had in any team even to date and I have played under all sorts of GMs across 6 leagues. They were happy right from the start to include anyone that wanted to help and be more than just a player on the team and weren't afraid to put trust in people with jobs around the team which helps everyone feel more apart of the team and wants to be there. When I first created all I wanted to do was be a kicker and I told everyone I was never going to swap and I said similar in the expansion draft. Getting to know these guys though I was more than happy to be able to swap away from kicker to wide receiver cause these two are the best. After being on this team and getting to know them, I would do anything to help them out. They are also around just any time of the day if you have questions or need to chat. Head office choosing these two for a team was a great decision all around. So glad I got to play here and get to know them like I have.
@Swanty
Swantavius Jones was the very first ISFL draft pick for Berlin and was 1oa in the S25 draft. He has done nothing but live up to the pressure that goes along with that. Right since he was drafted Swanty has been a huge part of the WR and always around to help out putting together things like scouting sheets and the like. One job I also have been doing in the Berlin locker room is tracking stats and records, and Swanty is just a massive part of the Berlin defence always popping up with big games or seasons breaking records. I had not spoken to Swanty before Berlin drafted him but I am so glad we did and I got to know this man cause he truly is one of the best people around. I also love having some people in the GMT kinda time zones in a LR cause they are getting up during my evening so it always makes for some good chats and you get to know them when the LR is a bit more quiet.
@Laser
Laser I think will be one of the more important picks for Berlin. He is the QB of the future which itself is a massive deal but from day one he came in to the WR and his knowledge of sim leagues and the ISFL in particular has been absolutely huge to have and to be able to talk to someone like that. Given the time he has spent GMing over at OCO there is just so much knowledge on so much in the ISFL and it is just fascinating to talk to about things like FA pitches and just try to take in some of that knowledge. Laser is one of my favourite people I have met in these leagues and I look forward to watching his QB career over the next seasons and see how that works out, just a bit sad I won't be on the team with him. He has been an absolute joy to get to know.
Well there we go. Berlin is a younger team so there isn't a huge amount of history to go off yet but I think these 4 people are all huge for the Berlin Fire Salamanders.
