(S5) - Weekend PT #2 - Therapy Session

[The_Hero]

THE URGE TO TALK IN ALL CAPS IS STRONG FOR THIS PT. But I won't do that cause I'm not that kinda guy. The Sims beings delayed annoys the shit out of me. I totally understand shit happens, people make mistakes files get corrupted emergencies ect ect ect. But by the gods we have missed what 3 days now?? I'm sure you guys will get back on track and all will be good but it's basically a vent thread now right? Also you know what else annoys me? I'm way too fucking busy on the weekends to normally do weekend PT. That's no fault of the league but it fucking sucks being an adult sometimes ya know? You know what else annoys me? When I'm pretty much out of stuff to write but I'm like 30 words too short so then at the end I have to really stretch some of these thin. I mean for God's sake I was like a C English student at best I'm not great at essays.

What frustrates me is how I wasted so much time interacting with players who ended up being multis all along. Rewind to the S2 draft. I drafted OL Brokk Lee who had about 140 TPE at the time and a 50 TPE OL by the name of Pat Pancake very late in the draft. A couple days after the draft I got a PM from Brokk Lee saying he doesn't think he'll be able to stay active. I try to convince him to stick around a bit but it was futile. Then there's Pancake who was a 50 TPE inactive the entire season until after the final update period. It was during that time he published a bunch of stat articles and bought all the equipment, with free agency a week or two away it was very convenient. Like other GMs I spent time writing him a sincere pitch about resigning with the team, that was also futile. He was joining the Outlaws the entire time and had the rest of the league beg. I thought Er was a pretty cool guy but it was really fucked up what he did with the multis. (194)

I would say what annoyed me the most so far in my short three weeks of being a part of the NSFL, is the delay on the DSFL preseason games. My first week and a half in the NSFL was great, i was able to make a couple sigs for myself, write up a pre draft press conference, make a twitter account, and even try my hand at a shotty statistical analysis. The high point of my time here was the DSFL draft, as i was finally given a home here. Immediately following the draft, my next sight was set on our first preseason DSFL games which were scheduled for this week. It felt as though all of those moments were leading up to the first preseason games, and on Tuesday December 26th i was more excited than ever before in the NSFL. But with the extended delay, it feels like my hype for the preseason has died down. Hopefully that will change when the box scores come out, revealing that Brian Mills, Elvin Enchant, and Bogdan Wojcik had combined for a total of 100 sacks and 25 turnovers in just four games. :belly:

This story is already over for me and waters flowed under the bridge, but what happened during S4 to S5 off season was the thing that pissed me off the most on this website. To an extend, it's what still motivate me to stay active on this forum and get as good as i can be while being an semi-active scrub who don't do media.

To put a bit of context on what happened, I've always said i'm willing to do anything for the team as long as I'm being asked to do it. I can switch position, put TPE in certain attributes, play less ... you get the picture. At that time, i was the QB of the team. Lack of communication is the key point of why i ended up being so upset in this situation.

One evening, the Las Vegas legion got a new GM. That GM wanted to re-brand. I made a joke that screamed sarcasm for however knows me a little bit would get. Especially since i have NEVER done anything to hurt a team i was picked by. I said "If we aren't the Sloths i go innactive" to quote the exact sentence and my inability to have good spelling in English. The next day, someone contact me asking me if i know that a player we just traded for was going to position change to QB. Oh boy, let me tell you i didn't know. I saw red at that moment. Not only did this GM never actually said anything when i said, jokingly, that I'd go inactive, that he also didn't bother checking with me before allowing a position change. He said he wasn't able to access discord during the day to take a 2 minutes to check with me but still managed to perform a trade and allow the position change during that day.

In my book, that was wrong and i asked to be traded right away and thunderdromed him. The thunderdrome might have been too much in that situation, and i still feel a bit bad about it, but i think the message was clear. Anyway, like i said this is long pass, the GM resigned the same day, I stayed in the legion and even position changed after they requested it. All ended up well for me, but i want to say to that GM that i'm sorry i was so rude about this situation.

I understand this is a hectic time for a lot of people, but why provide a date for DSFL sims if you can't meet it? At the same time, the NSFL sim happened as scheduled, so what are we waiting for? It feels as if the DSFL isn't really treated the same as the NSFL and, while I understand that to an extent, it's a problem. Meanwhile league officials seem to be treating it as a joke in the discord.

In addition to that, I don't really understand the hold up with media grading. I posted both a media and statistical analysis that have both gone ungraded for over a week, which, as far as I can tell, is the grading period. I could have used the money from those to buy weekly training to improve my player. Seriously, if the grade is dependent on the word count and NSFL relatedness then how is this taking any time at all? Just scan to make sure it isn't nonsense and run it through a word count. It should take 30 seconds.

I used to be a part of sim leagues a long time ago, and most of them died for reasons like this. Am I missing something? Did I join an already dying league? If this kind of stuff keeps up, I'm going to lose interest very quickly.

I am writing for the new weekend pt., What frustrates me the most in the NSFL. There are a few things that frustrates me in NSFL. One if those things is the communication. I understand there are busy people here weather it's due to being in school, college, their jobs, or families. But when someone does something wrong with a post or an update their always very vague and it doesn't help any one. If someone has done something wrong please be absolutely clear with what you're trying to say. Another thing that frustrates me in the NSFL is the form itself. It is not user friendly to someone who is new to the site. If it wasn't for my brother theres no chance in hell I would of taken the time to figure out the form. Hopefully we can come up with a way for it to be more user friendly.

A situation that frustrated me was the Logan Noble situation. Noble was a big part of the Yeti, he was our original co-GM, a big locker room leader, and our highest TPE player who also played the most important position. Then, we find out that he's been cheating and abusing his powers to illegally gain TPE. Not only was it a disturbing discovery about somebody who had been a respected member of the team, but now we had lost our best player without any compensation and were left with nobody at quarterback and had to throw Pierno into the fire as a rookie. It was a surprising moment as nobody on the Yeti had suspected Noble of any foul play before the announcement and the consequences were big as the Yeti were plunged into the basement of the league and are still trying to recover because even though Pierno has been working very hard, he's still a few seasons behind most other quarterbacks in progression since he's younger. The Yeti will recover eventually, but it has taken a while and we are still feeling the effects of this scandal 2 seasons later. Also, to add insult to injury, in the preseason we just lost at home to the Noble led Legion :crybaby:.

For me the most frustrating thing has just been the lack of meaningful punishments from HO. Have they gotten better? Sure. But that's like saying you should be rewarded for bumping your grade up from a 30% to a 50%, all in all you're still failing. Time and time again, we have seen minor punishments simply because someone "did a lot for the league", or the punishment "wouldn't really affect them". What kind of a crock of bull is that? I like the members of HO, but I don't know what kind of shit goes on behind close doors to repeatedly come up with slaps on the wrists for serious offenders. My new year's resolution for the NSFL is some HO reform, maybe even public deliberation over punishments becoming a necessity. They haven't fully lost my faith, but they are damn near close. Hopefully come the next scandal, HO makes a punishment that would actually make people say, "wow I shouldn't do that in the future".

For me, the main problem I have with the league isn't the actual drama itself, but how it always seems to be at the forefront of everything. I can ignore it pretty easily, if anything I actually find most of it funny for how ridiculous and frequent it is; but having guys talking about how the league is dead or is gonna die, how HO is garbage or corrupt or whatever word they're on, talks of rigging (I know that's mostly a joke), etc. I see it here, I see it on the discord, I see it always. The problem this presents is to new members or those thinking of joining. They see it and it certainly affects their feelings on the league. Why put in the work if the league isn't going to last? Why socialize with people that all seem to have some type of mental disability?

I want the league to succeed and I honestly love it here, so the thought of losing members because of things that should be handled behind the scenes is upsetting to me. I know it's to set a precedent of transparency, and I don't have a better alternative, but it's a bad look.

One day we'll get past this, and honestly, if we can do that with a strong core intact we should be able to survive anything. But as of now, I'm just assuring new members the place is fun and things will blow over soon.

This is really recent, but it definitely frustrated me a bit. The one thing I still don’t have a handle on for the NSFL is fantasy. I drafted a decent team last season, and that was with me knowing absolutely NOTHING about who’s what player and who’s going to be good, etc. This season was supposed to be a bit different, since I had an idea on everyone, but it wasn’t. I fucked up my draft pretty good. It started out okay, taking Phelps, but then on the way back I wanted to take Jordan Yates. But I didn’t know what team he was on. I remembered he was San Jose, so I looked, and didn’t see him. I checked the other rosters and didn’t see him and thought I missed his retirement or something stupid. Time was running out, so I panicked and took King Bronko, who has even less weapons now than when I took him. Yates went like a pick later or something. Stupid. I’ve tried to save it, but all the RBs were gone by the time it looped back to me (I have Savea) but I figured I’d at least find solace in taking myself in my rookie year. NOPE. GOT SNIPED ON MYSELF. So yeah, that’s what I’m frustrated with. Goodbye TPE. (218)
