9. Through a random lottery drawing, you have been named the league's new commisioner for a day. Congrats! What improvements would you make to the league if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?
If I won the lottery to make any changes I wanted to the league, there would be one main thing that would make my enjoyment for the league over the top that most leagues around the world already do on a consistent basis. When watching Youtube videos of ISFL and DSFL games at 1000x speed on an IPad because that’s what it seems like when I’m watching, it is almost impossible to be able to enjoy anything about it other than seeing who has points. It’s to the point where I have to pause the video to be able to see what stats my player has during different parts of the game. You can not tell who is catching the passes, can not tell who is running the ball, can not tell who is tackling the offensive player. Now as a lottery winner, usually you can buy the things that you want and what you are probably thinking from reading this is just put it on 0.5x speed, that’s not the point. The point is that in almost every league in this world there are commentators that are talking about the game, talking about the players and talking about the big plays that are happening every down.
I would make sure I create new jobs for people to create a stream for the league to broadcast a few times a week. On top of this, a stats team could be created as well for some streams and be able to keep the listeners active during the game. Currently every time I watch, the viewer count seems to be low and the only people that seem to be watching are the people from that team, not many people stick around for all the games because there is no incentive.
Like some other leagues, putting an incentive in to watch the games will be able to build this community to something even bigger instead of 2 videos 10 minutes each week then discussing it in a locker room for a bit and waiting the rest of the week. I’m not sure what the incentive would be but if I was the creator, it would be a money incentive. With some people in this league that are invested into the game but may not be invested into the league side of things, being able to be paid by being a part of the league and commenting during streams or what not would really grow the league together as a community instead of just seeing people in your LR.

17. Your team has announced that they will be laying ground on a new stadium next season. What additions would you like to see included in it. No graphics option available here.
If I were able to decide what additions got added to the new ground of our playing field, it would be a massive Seattle Seahawk logo directly in the middle of the field. Now you’re wondering why a Seahawk logo. Well in my first ever playoff appearance as a player in this league, I truly got simmed, not like one of those complaints ‘oh we got simmed’. NO we actually got simmed. In the final minute of our game against the Birddogs in the conference championship, the sim made us throw the ball near the goal line instead of running the clock down or running into the end zone. I’m sure you can guess what happened next, yep an interception. That eventual interception brought our game to overtime which we ended up losing, ending our season in a crushing fashion.
So as a reminder to our team and the sim gods, maybe seeing this Seahawks logo after a failed championship will push our players to do the right thing during the final minutes of our games. It will most likely not do anything other than make us salty and remind us of defeat but if it brings us to a victory at the end of the season to make a championship game, I’ll suffer through the saltiness of remembering last season's playoffs.

19. If your player had a show starring them, what would the plot be? Graphic Option: Create the cover art for your player’s show
If I had a brand new TV show starring my player, the only concept that would suit my player who is super competitive would be something with lots of mini games in a survivor style like elimination. It would be made up of different teams with the contestants playing anything sport related like a mini sticks competition, hitting targets with a football, wiffle ball home run derby. Once the preliminary competitions are done, these players have to go into a final battle each time which is a random sport pulled from a hat. Whoever loses this final battle has to kick a member off their team.
As your team gets smaller, the teams do not get condensed, you just lose team members so going into the next final sport battle with a member down could be a massive disadvantage if a sport like soccer gets picked but could be advantageous if something like bowling is picked and they were terrible at the sport.
Once there are 6 players remaining from the 30 that were originally chosen, the preliminary and final battles come down to 1v1 no matter what sport gets picked out of the hat. Whoever is the final member of the games that has not been eliminated, they will win the game show.
