18. Written option - which teammate of yours is the ultimate team player and why? How does this person exhibit selflessness and put the team first? Are they a great locker room presence who encourages others? Do they play an important but unappreciated role on the team which doesn't receive much recognition for awards? Graphic Option: Create a graphic of your player with your teammate who exhibits a team-friendly attitude.
For my Ultimus Week task i wanted to take a moment to recognize my new Co-GM @Sebster. Seb is the perfect example of a Teammate and great Locker Room presence. Ok well maybe not perfect as he will definitely hit you with a terribly timed cringe worthy joke that most of the time is so bad you cant help but laugh. That is one of the things that Seb brings to the locker room. Aside from locker room activity Seb provides entertainment, Engaging with anyone in the either the closed or public chat I think most people who have spent any time near our discord channel know who Seb is and have had multiple conversations with him. Aside from being a genuinely Likeable guy and friendly in the locker room Seb is a natural leader helping remind the team about new activities and playing a crucial role in helping develop the young talent in London. With everything Seb has shown to the team and brought to the table since my arrival in the league its easy to see why he's been chosen to step in and help lead the Royals into the future. All of this before becoming GM I can only imagine that the urge to help the team grow will be stronger now that he is a GM and believe that we will get the experience of watching Seb evolve into an even better leader and teammate as he becomes comfortable in his new position. Thank you for all that you do to help the team, I couldn't be happier to work with you and am looking forward to really getting started.
30. The ISFL Players Association was established a few seasons back, and while it is not as prominent now, it was a very interesting idea. What are your thoughts on a player union to help vote on rule proposals?
I think bringing the Players union back would be fantastic the players union was a great idea but from what I've heard it may have been a bit ahead of its time. It sounded like the league may not have been ready for that kind of outside representation that's not to say that it is now but it feels like something that the league would be more receptive towards now. The Players in the league should have a voice and a representation, somewhere they feel comfortable going with an issue that is not being resolved in a way that it should be. A players union is a great way to establish a consensus of how the members of the league truly feel. Something that should not be forgotten it is the users who fuel this league and keep it running. Allowing them a place to be heard should be top priority. I'm aware that I am not one of the players that was around the last time and I'm sure there were a bunch of obstacles that I'm not aware of but this is something that I would love to see make a comeback. I think it is important for the players and should be not only promoted by the league to all new members but the league should actively be doing what it can to assist the union heads in the reestablishing a functional Players Union. Helping promote a strong union could be key in determining ways to increase membership and help decrease inactivity across the league. I really hope that this is something that is being strongly considered to be restarted.
31. The World Football Association was established last season and is currently playing out for the first time. What do you think about the WFC as a whole and how it has been shaping out. Do you think it will end up a success?
The World Football Association was a great idea and i for one have truly enjoyed the games. Its added something fun and entertaining to help fill the void that is usually left by the offseason. the contests for the graphics and allowing users to submit artwork to be judged gave it more of a league wide feel right from the start. The teams that were created and the Combinations that have developed over the course of these games has been awesome to see. I was wondering to myself while watching if these games may create a chemistry that leads to a future free agent signing. What's been created here has the potential to be very successful but it will require more promotion from the league and consistency. The only thing that will continue to make the WFA successful is user participation and excitement. the second that the Hype dies down so will the popularity of the games. In my opinion it will be critical to figure out a way to get more users interested in what their player is doing during the offseason and finding new and exciting ways to keep existing players wanting to invest their time around what is essentially a mini league. If we are lucky enough to add more overall user involvement I think these World Football Championship Games will develop into the premier offseason activity. Thank you to the heads and every user and player involved in making this first Championship happen. This helped fix what I considered to be one of the worst parts of every season and cant wait to see what happens next.
