Yes, he is a valuable addition, when I drafted him, he would have been the perfect trainee as a big, though I was still training my guards back then and had to let him go. I was hoping from the beginning to get my hands on him again, when he is 22 yr old, not expecting him to be on such a high salary. Now, after being stuck in the third division this season, I will now try to go for the push to reach the first division in the next seasons. Another opportunity such as this one as a HGL team might not come soon.

Great work, Wagner. All the dates seem right.

+1

Thanks for checking that out.


@all HGL managers, important:

We´re going to use same schedule as on Season 4.

We´ll see if we will start organizing matches based on Season 4 Scores Threads' schedule (to save some time), or that should we proceed with typical method, that I'll release Season 5 Thread first and then we'd start organizing matches.

Whatever the method will be, I think it's best this time for me to send challenge to all teams (as I do challenge every Regular Season opponent of mine, in other words I have 17 challenge responsibilities on 17 RS matches), and then everybody sees from their BB schedule what is the correct match time for Season 5, and based on that they can organize rest of their Regular Season matches.

I can send more than 11 challenges, if necessary.

My problem is that i use the app to play BB. I don't get forum notifications, and I can't read and write post on the forum.

So I apologize for the delay in responding.

I think that many HG teams are more stronger than last season, so i am sure that i could lost some matches next season.

Thank you for token usage information.

That's questionable design choice from BB side then, I didn't know that. I suppose you're responding from computer now (just as you have been each time you've responded something to forums)?

I can't notice myself on challenge responsibilities list. Anyways, I've 100+ tokens left and I'm happy to use them.

You entered HGL so late, that I think that's why I had not remembered to add you to that list. I no further requests will be made to reduce token usage, I'd expect your challenge responsibilities would be at least approximately the same as they were on Season 4. Thank you for letting me know you're ready to use them though!

once again, BIG THANKS for your great job. :] (y)

As Trailblazer said, more than 100 tokens for me, if you need I can use them

Thank you WiMaOl, for your kind words, and also for being a loyal and committed HGL manager, I hope you'll always stay part of HGL!
It's good to know you also are willing to use extra, if/when need arises to edit "tokens required per RS"-number for some teams.

Letting you know of a transfer I made that I bought back my ex-draftee Taavi Noorhani (54469202) to bolster my game for the coming season.

Thank you for your information LennuK., I need to update that information a bit later to transfers-post, and maybe also edit participating teams-posts' salary part, and possibly salary benefit post for S4... However, it's slightly debatable, because Season 4 has already ended so you didn't receive that SB during S4, while transfer still has taken place during S4, and it might mess up things later if markings didn't match the exact season they've taken place on..

Yes, I hadn't calculated the updated age and salary for the same reason as well. He is solely an addition for the next season. Unfortunately, he can't even help me in the playoffs of the regular BB league.

Yes, it makes sense. However, what I meant from my behalf is that who can remember after multiple HGL Seasons (if these don't occur regularly), that what policy has been used for which marking (as it'd be good to remain in same standard Season after Season), if multiple exceptions are being made... That's not obviously your problem, but I was just emphasizing my earlier point.

He is a classy addition - would be to any HGL team really - and with this transfer it's likely you took a big-ish upperhand in our Season 5 RS meeting, which was initially expected to be very even.

@all:

As for where we stand with Season 5 preparations, I'm creating content for Season 5.


Not much will be changed (locations of some posts will change, but there's logical reasons for that; content wise it will remain mostly the same it seems) from Season 4, so if you really are familiar with everything, then Season 5 preparations should go smoothly.

However, what isn't necessarily that smooth at all are these pre-season tasks.
I seem to try to actively forget the arduousness of them after each pre-season.

The point was that I planned to do most of the work today, but as I again dived into the process, I was reminded of all things that need to be done; simply copy-pasting isn't the solution, as none of the links for instance update themselves (and when you do any changes to content location, it causes a tangled mess with links, which don't auto correct themselves) and most links for next Seasons' Thread simply don't even exist (yet at that point).

Anyway, the point was that I wanted to publish new threads already during today/tomorrow, but I don't know if that's realistic at all to get them published even tomorrow (I'd have to do other than HGL things as well).

If it's not realistic to do it the typical way, then it's possible for me to:

A) publish Season 5 schedule here on Season 4 Thread(s)
B) send each of you a challenge, so then you easily see what's the Official match time for HGL Season 5
C) after we've got the match organization process started, I can finish Season 5 threads and publish them when they're ready.
Remember, while you will have to create your own box score post for Season 5 as well, it is possible to organize matches before that's done. (Then you can create that box score post after S5 thread is published, and add match links to that post of yours, just as usual).

It is necessary for all of us to get started with this Regular Season match organizing project fairly soon.

So all just keep on following these Official HGL Threads, so I'll let you know which way we do it this time (traditional way, everything to new Season 5 Thread, OR by sending Season 5 schedule on this Thread).
