First and foremost, I wouldn't be in this league if it wasn't for @Amidships finding it on Reddit last year. And I wouldn't still be in the league if it wasn't for the band of friends that I joined it with: @Kyamprac, @Tonzy, @RDBSouthPaw. I especially enjoyed going through the draft process together with you all. It was truly exciting.
During my DSFL time, I give credit to my Londoners. You sucked me into the league and gave me my first home. @Sylphreni, @Modern_Duke , @DeadlyPlayer, @Highhaschdi, @abh89 and... well, the whole Discord server. I wanted nothing more than to come back, but it wasn't in the cards.
That lead me to my first drafted home, Kansas City! @Buttersqauch101 and @Matty7478 thanks for drafting me. You also gave me my first glimpse inside of a War Room. Thanks for letting me learn the ropes. Given I was still young and overwhelmed by everything, I won't even attempt to name all of the War Room members who I learned from in addition.
Shout out to Portland GMs, but particularly @zeagle1 keeping me around in Portland's War Room and letting me continue to contribute at the DSFL level.
My Honolulu breathren... @Raven, @ADwyer87 (miss you), @gucci, and the other war room members at the time, thanks for the draft pick. I am so happy I ended up where I did. @siddhus, for being over a decade apart, we certainty work together well. Lol. Thank you for your continued partnership, and thank you for dealing with my crazy work hours that undoubtedly impact you. @Number 82, Honolulu wouldn't be what it is without your efforts. Please know how much I value everything you do, and please know that the day Honolulu wins an Ultimus with you on the roster, you deserve the glory. @124715, easily one of the best draft picks ever. You have brought out War Room to a new level with your organizational and spreadsheet prowess. Again, War Room wouldn't be the same without you. @OrbitingDeath, you have always stepped up to help in the War Room, and I think you have been integral in Honolulu's improvement since you joined us. I'm so happy to see your player getting the reps he deserves. @Gumbaman, who don't you know? Your help in scouting has given us an edge that I hope continues moving forward. @bex, the league spreads your Discord comments across numerous channels, but whenever you read up on discussions and chime in, it is appreciated. Finally, @r0tzbua, like others here, you've always been a vocal opinion in the War Room. Although your time and attention was rightfully on Dallas the last few seasons during your tenure there, I look forward to having you full time again.
Outside of team business, you've become a welcome friend, and a pleasure to get to know outside of the locker room. I look forward to when we take that ski trip together.
Similarly, @Kyle , without this crazy sim league journey, you wouldn't have stumbled into my friend group. While I haven't had the pleasure of working with you like the others, I have enjoyed having someone to talk to late and night after all the "normal people" have gone to bed. Thanks for being my insomnia partner. Lastly, @Philliesphan96 , thank you for being my lone Philadelphia ally.
@HalfEatenOnionBagel, you were I believe the first person to speak to me on the site. Thank you for being so welcoming.
@Tesla, thank you for the shout out in your post, and thank you for being you.
@hexify, never stop being you. You are awesome.
And because I am running low on time for doing this last minute, thank you to everyone else that has made this enjoyable.
