Of course you are allowed to return, no doubt ;)

Thanks, Hadar.

I appreciate your words, Wagner.

I am sure the conversation regarding the HGK and the HGL is far from over. Something we will have to address at some point in the future.

As for adding me to the list as a 'committed' team for Season 3...?

I think perhaps it wiser not to add me as a certainty at this point. While I really want to compete in all things HG, perhaps the whole HGK v HGL argument will ultimately decide my eventual participation.

I just want to reiterate what I have said before, Wagner: You have put an enormous amount of work and effort into the HGL and should be proud of its inaugural season. Hadar and all of us who competed have been a part of something worth being a part of...as it is the first true HG competition.

With that said, I doubt I will let the HGK go anytime soon. I just think they serve different purposes while at the same time only enhancing the HG community and our experience.

I will enjoy watching the 2nd season of the HGL and see if Hadar can go back-to-back!

I still have a dream...

...that one day all teams will be seen as equal...

...and the HGK and HGL Champions compete against one another


EDIT: Spelling error

I hope I'm automatically added to the list for season 3 :)

Unfortunately practically nothing happens automatically, but nevertheless, your team has now added to the list of Season 3 teams. :)

As for MrJ, I added you to the "Other possibly interested teams (likely/possibly joining HGL later"-listing.

Yes, it's going to be an interesting one! A new-to-HGL team KK Stihija certainly has his opinion on who will clinch which medal, taking a look at his Top8-salaries, which are "on the same league" with SED and HAD.

[...]...and the HGK and HGL Champions compete against one another B)

Personally I do not find this being a good idea.

Season 2 HGL Threads (main and scores thread) have now been set up, so HGL related conversation will mainly take place in those Threads from now on.

What everyone who participates to Season 2 of HGL needs to do now:

1. at least briefly check out your season schedule (posts 5 and 6 on Season 2 Scores Thread, link at the end of post); I didn't notice anything special/faulty in it, but having another eyes to check it too doesn't harm. (Basically we should be good to go, as I re-used Season 1 Schedule by editing it as little as possible considering we have 4 joining teams, but anyone possibly spotting any problems please let me know).

2. create an own box score post for their team, just like during Season 1.
As an idea for your convenience (and to retain preferred standard for HGL) you can respond to this message (327517.14) and from that post of mine copy-paste everything below * * * * * * to your own box score post (and only change your team name/abbreviation and add match links to it as soon as matches for Season 2 have been organized.

3. Familiarize yourself with match organization process if it's new thing for you or if you need a refresher (guide currently available on 'Announcement'-posts on both Official Threads) and ask questions (if needed) preferably before you'll start the process.

You'll find Season 2 HGL Threads from here:
Home-Grown League (HGL) Season 2 Official Thread: (327516.1)
HGL Scores Season 2 Official Thread: (327517.1)

@ Buckner Bandits/T-Lit, and possibly also to others whose pre-season work for Season 2 isn't close to being finished (including making your own box score post for Season 2):
T-Lit, due to not reaching you by BBMail, I'll also send message on official threads, because if we don't act soon, we'll be pressed in time to get Season 2 started on time.

So, match organizing process for HGL Season 2 is in progress, so please proceed with sending PU match invitations and accept correct match requests made to you, thank you.

Buckner Bandits is online every day, but not communicating. I wrote to him too, but he didn't respond. You should give him an ultimatum and if he doesn't respond, replace him with the Swan River Serpents. The sooner the better.

Yes, messaging him again I had as a next plan. And ultimatum steps in picture as well. Already sent messages to him earlier as mentioned, and last night made posts to S1 and S2 official HGL threads, but absolutely no response so far.
Did you reach him in BB and/or in Discord?

SRS is indeed "next in line", so he´d be added to the season 2 lineup (as he has already given his acceptance for that) if BUC fails to comply with HGL rules/practices, and/or reply to my (and our) messages.

Let's give him some time, guys. Maybe just RL stuff.

Either way, I have my schedule typed up and ready if need be...so, either way the show will go on!

I sent him a BB-mail asking him to accept challenge I sent him. No response.

Checking out managers box score posts that they've produced so far, it seems Buckner Bandits is the missing team from all posts (no box score links).

I just sent Buckner Bandits/T-Lit an ultimatum by BBMail, so we'll be waiting for his (possible) response now.
