@all Season 1 and Season 2 HGL managers:
Has anyone seen Buckner Bandits/T-Lit on discord after 2nd of July (that's his last login to BB), and/or contacted him there? I don't use discord, so I can't do that.

I´ve heard that at least Hadár and MrJ have (in addition to me) tried to contact him, and if my memory serves me, maybe also some other manager(s?) have sent him BBMail (due to match organization process not progressing on his part).

He probably has more important things to do. He should be replaced, but it's already being done at the last minute.

I agree that we can't wait for much longer, as we don't have any information on whether or not he´d return. Just as you said, I also agree that I´ve actually been rather too patient than too strict with this situation, so it's better to proceed now.

@T-Lit Unfortunately due to lack of your willingness to communicate/respond to messages and do the necessary pre-season chores within a necessary time frame, I unfortunately have no choice but to exclude your team Buckner Bandits from HGL Season 2, or we won't be able to finish pre-season match organizing and confirmation process in time.
It is necessary to keep communicating to some extent, especially as you were committed to Season 2 (which can be seen from my post that keeps a list of interested and participating teams), and make sure you'll get certain things such as match organization process done in time, and unfortunately neither of these were accomplished by your team.

@everyone else:
So as everyone who has reading these knows, Buckner Bandits will be replaced by Swan River Serpents (SRS) that we all S1 managers know as an initial HGL team, with MrJ at their lead.

I want to see all Regular Season matches organized before season starts on Monday 14th July, and because SRS doesn't have tokens, he can not organize 12 matches as BUC was supposed to.

Important:

In practice this means following, and here's what everyone should know and do:

1. Swan River Serpents (SRS) is officially joined for Season 2 of HGL, and Buckner Bandits are not playing on Season 2

2. Eventually I will replace BUC in schedule with SRS (Swan River Serpents). I don't have time to do that right now, but everyone can proceed with match organizing process by sending challenge to Swan River Serpents.

3. Everybody will play against SRS on the same Round of play, when they were supposed to play against BUC, so when it says 'BUC' as your opponent on your Season 2 schedule, that's the day you use to challenge SRS (Swan River Serpents)

4. Note: Every HGL manager must send match challenge to SRS - he does not send any challenges on Season 2!
So please send me BBMail as soon as possible, if you have 0 tokens and can´t challenge SRS.

5. Easiest way to find the day you play against SRS on Season 2, is check out these posts:
Rounds 1-3: (327517.5)
Rounds 4-15: (327517.6)

6. You will find Swan River Serpents (SRS) team page (for easy PU match challenge sending) here: (197075).

So everyone participating on Season 2, please start sending SRS match challenges on correct days and times (same times than what you used earlier on the match organization process, nothing changes).

Well, thanks for getting this organised, Wagner.

Firstly, I hope T-Lit is all good and it is just RL stuff (have said as much in bbmails to him) and that we see him back here in the forums and HGL soon! Probably just really enjoying his 4th of July!

To everybody playing in the HGL Season 2:

I apologise for not having enough tokens. In my defense, I wasn't playing in this upcoming season. This is why I spent all I had in tactic testing and with other managers, and why I won't have many this season either. However, I will aim to have at least 15 tokens for Season 3 and I'm happy to challenge everyone in that season to make up for it.

Okay, to the business at hand. Like I said, I wasn't planning on playing this season and you will all likely beat up my boys yet again But that's okay, my time will come.

I have posted my game schedule. I have already received 2 invites and have accepted the one from Wagner initially to ensure the game times are still correct. (I'm also secretly holding out---for 1 more hour---in case T-Lit responds and is ready)

If you haven't sent me an invitation yet, please check Wagner's posts and do so as soon as you can. Thank you.

Oh, and it's great to be back in the HGL so soon!

By the way, I have created a thread to store HGL Achievements. Hope you don't mind, Commissioner.
Thread is found here: (327663.1). Let me know if you want it to show something different? Different format? Additional info?

It also includes a Season 68 Wrap-Up of how all the HGL teams have gone in their respective leagues and countries this Season. I included the 5 new HGL teams, too.

I created it as the HGL threads have so much info everywhere relating to the HGL specifically. I really want to showcase the HG Community and our achievements. Hence the new thread.

I would love for all HG teams to promote their successes. It could be League Championships, CUP Championships, BBM Championships, U21 NT Selections, NT Selections...
(IF any of you have Championships that you have won over the seasons as a 100% HG Team, please go to the above thread and let me know and I will update them).

Anything. The more we promote our community, perhaps the larger it will become.

Hey all,

My deepest apologies, I took a added responsibility at work and just have not had any time to get my head above water to do this. Best of luck this season! again, I apologize!

Mate, like I said in the bbmail...RL is RL. Just good to hear you're all good. There will always be other seasons.

Thanks for your response, I sent you BBMail. But just like MrJ already said, this is just a game and RL is RL, which is only thing that matters at the end. But if you´d be willing to join HGL in the future, I hope you'd set up some alerts etc. so that you remember to start the pre-season match organization on time, because that's a small work to do in order to avoid more work for others.
Having said that, I don't know if alerts would've saved Season 2 on your part, but for many it could've (possibly/likely being in different situation as you were anyway) done that, so that`s why reminding of reminders/alerts is worth it.

You're probably aware that I keep a list of teams that are interested in joining HGL in the future, so please send me BBMail or respond here in this thread if/whenever you have decided if you want to be included in the list (and please specify season you´d prefer to start on).

Thanks for your initiative, MrJ. I love stats and sports history records, so they're always good addition, and make the experience so much more rich to myself, and I believe (know) that I'm not alone in that one.

Having them on different thread definitely has it's downs and likely up's, so while I'm bit unsure if it's best to divide HGL related things to too many threads, in a way I see your point(s) of doing that. And like I said, I acknowledge it might have up's as well, as maybe someone might end up reading that thread and become interested of HGL that way ((if those who find their way there will realize/have a way to find out what HGL actually is (in short) without leaving the thread, or have a link to HGL pages in there)), and it's easier to find those stats information from that thread if people first happen to find there.

As is sometimes the case with life, I'm having hard time sharing my attention to HGL right now. Of course I'll have to find time and energy to finalize pre-season checks and tasks (yes, been here already some time doing that and it's 01.40AM), but what that means in practice I can't focus on many other things with lots of energy and thought (which would be sometimes required if giving a thorough and thoughtful response is a goal).

You're doing a great job as Commissioner...as always, Wagner. As for the HGL Achievements thread, I will put links in there so people are directed to find out more about this league.

Let me know if I can help in anyway.

To all HGL teams (past and present),

This is just a friendly reminder that that Championship data has been updated on the HGL ACHIEVEMENTS page found here: (327663.1).

Feel free to check it out.

Please let me know if you have any Championships that you have won as a 100% HG team, and I will add them to the records.
