There's just too many people that I've connected with in this league to count, and I don't want anyone to not feel included, so rather than tag people I want to talk about what the league means to me.
ISFL was my first sim league, way back in August of 2019. I joined early in the month, then waited until I went on vacation to really get all the rookie tasks done. I did them all in a day and quickly became one of the most active members. I worked midnights at Taco Bell at the time and didn't really have a social life outside of work because of that, given the whole up until 4 or 5 and sleeping until 1 or 2. The league was always rolling at all hours of the night, whether it be really slow night shifts or trying to relax after work on an especially stressful day. S18 was riotous, sure, but they were also very caring for each other and we were a cohesive unit. As a guy who was struggling with mental health at the time, that camaraderie that we had together was one of the things that kept me going when not a hell of a lot else was going for me. Because of that, I wanted to get as involved as possible, and give back to the league that made me feel like I had a somewhat normal life.
These days, the personal connections that I have made are unreal. I know that I could count on at least ten people in sim leagues and trust them with my life. I know that I could have an extended conversation with a ton of people about a variety of topics, and I know that I can talk about just about anything with just about anyone. Because of covid and my now permanently fucked sleep schedule I now have zero interaction with others outside of work, not just zero, and it's been life saving having everyone in the league to contribute and make it the great thing that it is.
So thank you to all of you.
