Here goes!
I'm going in a rough timeline order, but @Maglubiyet might be the user I have the biggest thanks for. As well as being one of the nicest, most genuine users in the league, he was the first person to reach out on Discord and my biggest supporter in pushing to get me drafted to London. For that, and for about a billion other things, I'm very grateful.
To @Sylphreni and the rest of the London WR at the time, including @Z-Whiz, @DeadlyPlayer, @Modern_Duke, and @Highhaschdi for agreeing to draft me to London. You guys helped build a star-studded team that culminated in an Ultimini win in my first season, with such an amazing cast of users and players. A big thank you!
Thanks to @abh89 for guiding me through the position switch process with you to CB, for being a great GM in London, a really valuable member of HO and a great friend over the last year or so.
To @Highhaschdi and @Dewalt27, thank you so much for trusting me enough to draft me to your brand new team. What you've built over the last 5 seasons has been nothing short of amazing, and I've loved every minute of it. I know you'll get that Ultimus you deserve soon enough! The fact that we've had no one leave in FA since the creation of the team is an incredible achievement and I hope you guys go on to smash the longest tenured GM pairing record.
To @slate and @"Punter715", I'm so lucky to have gotten the chance to work with you both on the sim transfer. It was a great experience exploring and redesigning everything from scratch with you both, and even though it was a ton of work, working with you both made it fun. And to @JPach, thank you so much for letting us run with it, and for defending and sticking up for us so many times. Thank you also to each and every one of the ISFL and DSFL GMs for helping your teams through the transition.
To @bex, thanks for hiring me to the budget team, as an HO intern and full HO. Your trust has been so much appreciated and I've learned a lot from you in a short space of time. It's truly unbelievable how much you do for this league that goes unnoticed. And to @TomHanks as well for hiring me as a DSFL intern. I really appreciated the opportunity and the league is so much better for having you lead the way in the DSFL. And to my HO colleagues, both DSFL and ISFL, thanks for being great people to work with.
To everyone who I had really great scouting chats with, both for DSFL and ISFL. I really appreciate the time you took and loved getting to know you all. Sorry we didn't get to play together and apologies if I forget anyone here but thanks to @yonggarius, @flyeaglesfly29, @Kyamprac, @Blasoon, @woelkers for the great talks!
Thanks to @Tesla for everything you do with the DSFL highlights. I really enjoyed them when I was a rookie and I'm so glad to see you're still doing them!
Thanks to everyone who's ever been involved in mentoring rookies and in particular @SchwarzNarr who has gone above and beyond for a long, long time. It's the most important function in the league and it's awesome to see when a great mentoring experience can be the difference between someone who doesn't stick around after creating to become one of the many legendary users here who contribute way more than they take out.
Big thanks to @infinitempg for a list of achievements that have made this league so much better that would be too long to write out. Everyone here owes you quite a few beers for everything you've done.
Another big thank you to two perhaps slightly more unsung heroes of the league: @manicmav36 and @Laser. You guys do so much, especially behind the scenes, and we're lucky to have people like you who give far more than they get from the league.
And finally, thanks to the friends I've made in my time here. @katarn22, @slate, @"Punter715", @Mojojojo, @abh89, @Maglubiyet, @Hordle, @platanocat, @zaynzk, @DeadlyPlayer, @Crunk, @.simo, @ReverendOReily, @Menace0528, @.emfaith, @Jimi64, @Kotasa, @Modern_Duke, @Pancakes, @ShnarlyDude, @zeagle1, @Jo3fish5, @Highhaschdi, @Dewalt27, @noanic and probably a few others I've forgotten, it's been so great to get to know you all over the last year or so. Long may it continue!
I've probably missed out a lot of people who deserve a shoutout, but if you're reading this, thanks so much for being a part of this league!
