In my year and a half in this league, I’ve had the chance to meet some amazing people.
To me, this sim league is 100% more about the community than the sim, the cups, whatever!

@DarthDaevin has been a fantastic addition to the COL locker room. Friendly, funny, and curious, we couldn’t have asked for more from a first-gen dipping his toes into sim leagues for the first time. Most importantly, though, a great teammate!

We traded for @Tripl3tsGamer ’s player a couple of seasons ago—not primarily for the TPE, but for what he, the USER, would bring to the locker room. Even as a rental who only played one season with us, Trip remains an active part of our daily chats and our Dino Town community. He shares his newest songs with us, sometimes even before they’re officially released, and we’re lucky for it.

@Troy_McClure03 tagged me in this very thread, and I really appreciate it. A great user all around, a Dino alum who’s recently stepped into GM territory. It was refreshing to do trade negotiations together this season; it made me realize how much we miss you in COL. I appreciate you and hope to interact more in the future!

@Popol has been an S-tier buddy in SHL this year. Great guy to talk to about all kinds of topics, he even introduced me to some of his IRL friends! Such a gem of a user. Thanks for sticking around; I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next.

@Jumbo has been a staple in Colorado. Once a GM, he’s one of the most active members in our Discord channel since its creation (almost 18k msgs according to our bot). Not a small feat! That said, I feel like I’ve only really started chatting with him since we brought him back as a recreate. Great user, great person, and super helpful with the team. Always ready to chime in on any subject. COL is lucky to have him.

My interactions with @aleks have been some of the most entertaining I’ve had in the league so far. You never really know what he’s going to say next, and that’s awesome! Thanks for sticking around and for the DM convos!

@Figgy is actually the one who introduced me to the league in the first place. Almost two years later, we still enjoy catching up and checking in on our respective locker rooms. I love interacting with this user and working on special (secret) projects together. Who knows? Maybe one day!

@NaomiMannequeen has been a blast to work with! A great partner in crime back in the SRT, I’m excited to see what we’ll accomplish together. LFG!

And last but not least, @ThisSeemsFishy !
I knew Fishy from HN and interacted with them there before jumping over to the SHL. From there, we both got drafted by COL, played on the same line, won the cup, and finally reunited in MTL. All that without even mentioning our duo as COL GMs! Interacting with you daily is a big part of why I’m still around in this league. Such a great SHL buddy!

I’m 1000% sure I forgot some people, and I apologize! You know I appreciate you. You know who you are.
