Player Bio
brahj is an iconic character in the SFA having burst onto the scene as a part of the revived Las Vegas Bears in their first season since readmission in Season 18. Then he won the EKA Medal for the best rookie season from a stacked field and would go on to captain the Bears the following season. He would go onto win the club best and fairest along with his first All-SFA selection in Season 19 cementing himself as one of the elite players of the league.

brahj would not slow down in Season 20 as he achieved the honour of being named the All-SFA captain for the season despite playing half the season in the back pocket after losing a bet with VC Quivorir. Under his leadership, the Bears would be considered the strongest posting unit in the league for that season with BigJoeD_ lauding the Bears as having the best core posting unit in the league with brahj himself being the best, and Okeydoke7's relevancy rankings naming the Bears as the most relevant club of Season 20.

After a move to full forward in Season 22, brahj would be instrumental in helping the Las Vegas Bears win their first ever premiership with an All-SFA caliber season and an outstanding finals series. In a tense grand final with the Bears trailing the Dragons by 16 points with 3 minutes to spare, they would kick 3 goals in 2 minutes with brahj booting through what is ultimately the winner as Las Vegas prevailed by 2 points.

A move to the East Side Hawks (now Phoenix) would refresh his career with the highlight being winning the Mobbenfuhrer Medal in Season 24, his second best and fairest and his fourth selection as he helped the Hawks finish the regular season on top of the ladder and make it to the Grand Final. Brahj would move to the Royals in Season 27, and some strong seasons in the midfield would allow him to add a third best and fairest in Season 28 before being a part of the iconic first ever Royals premiership side in Season 30.

Beyond brahj's Qooty achievements, he is most known for a cutting wit and posting prowess matched by few others. He consistently place high in the Beez Trophy, finishing runner up in Season 23 and making the top 20 on five occasions. He also has created a trilogy of epic threads which are amongst some of the largest on the board and have stood the test of time including:
#scandal (the largest ever media thread in the history of the league)
The Sweet FA Landfill (a timeless institution of the league used by administrators and moderators for quality control)
SFA Ask Me Anything (a classic mega thread that is renewed across generations)

Hi Kennedy Parker I'm assuming you will write my nomination for me but just to be clear I have a stronger case than the 6 standing active hopefuls you have listed. If you've forgotten anything let me know.

I think jackster83 can submit your nom on behalf of the Swamprats right after okeydoke7's Immortal elevation nomination.

Seems non committal. You produced a lovely write up for brahj, seems only fair you would put in the same effort for me given all we've been through

Fun fact: every single nomination I have written since this HOF committee was created has been successful - Ant Bear, spookism, brahj

That's an underwhelming list. Looking forward to being the first worthy recipient of your nomination

I object. What were we talking about again?

Can you re-write mine please. Make sure you add the Premiership to it.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Pretty strong existing field.

 

[spookism]

Even better add Premiership Ruckman to it.

Sheesh Wigs you're slipping.

Kennedy Parker is there a criteria (ie. 200+ games played) for players to be nominated?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Kennedy Parker is there a criteria (ie. 200+ games played) for players to be nominated?

No fixed criteria.

But a general framework of considerations for the nominations can be described below

Longevity	Accomplishments/Accolades	Legacy
How long has the player managed to maintain their involvement in the SFA? Not just in terms of games played, but how long did they manage to stay an active part of the league? How many seasons were they able to be at the top of the league in respect to posting or Qooty?	What did the player achieve to date? Both in the sense of sim and non-sim performance. Any major league awards : FRED, MM, EKA, MVP, TFLUA, FRA, Life Membership? How many All-SFA selections? Premierships? Club Best and Fairests? What responsibilities did they take on? Captaincy, Admin, Mod, Simmer, Stats work, graphics work?	The most abstract of the three factors I consider. How much of an 'impact' did they have with their contributions? Did they rebuild the strength of clubs, help forge identities for clubs? Have a wide footprint in recruitment of new posters across the league? Did they bring about cutting edge ideas, innovations in stats/media/day to day runnings of the league? How 'worse off' would the league be if not for their contributions?
