There's a lot of people out there that can be appreciated. Like on an outward scale of like "heyo I don't talk to you much but you do good shit", @notorioustig, @grok , @"luketd" are all standup individuals, enough to where even despite not having long convo's with them or constant interaction, just seein em around shows off their good character and it makes taking part in off-site servers/activites real nice. I was gonna say the same thing for @Faelax but we on the same team in the ISFL now so I feel like we're going to be seeing more of each other coming up.

Beyond that I got a few more of the obvious ones to toss out there--at least from a teammate perspective. @sve7en is giving me the shot to Co-GM with a team I've loved since joining the site, and even before that he was one of the standout fellas out there from the Kraken. Same situation for @overdoo, where he was the main reason I got into scouting/engaging in backroom stuff. I'd say we're genuinely good friends now even with fake hockey removed from the equation, so gotta 'preciates a guy like him. Gotsta shoutout some Cuda fella's like @hockeyiscool and @trella since those are some other standout guys I followed into the league, that I looked up to when first getting engaged here. List there really goes on. I could shoutout everyone from that S54 cup-winning team.

Beyond that I do also gotta shout the 2 head GM's I've played under that I also haven't served along-side, and that's @FuzzSHL and @Keygan. I've given Fuzz a lot of admiration and thanks in private so I won't repeat all that out here, but just so he knows he's still appreciated he's getting tagged baby. Finally, we get to Keygan. This mans has really made the mistake of drafting me twice 2 years apart, like, get a grip my guy. Genuinely though it's hard to describe how good it feels in terms of "second-chances" to be drafted by the same GM I pretty much ghosted and flamed out on when I was younger. And above all else Keygan has shown me the ways of meatloaf baby. While unfortunately meatloaf baby has also found it's way to the DM's of people I know in real life, I can't deny that the meaty little fellow isn't endearing and I wouldn't have him without Keygan. It's the real meat on top of the giving-me-a-second-opportunity-pie.
