And so it begins - I am never going to get another home cup match much like my first time around.
I decided to MOTS in round one of the cup. The hope was that my opponent would PIC (long shot with a wretched leadership coach), and I could win midfield by enough to overcome his otherwise superior team (plus I hoped the HT gods would be kind). We split possession and I got crushed. There really was no downside to MOTSing - this was the only competitive match I will face all season. The team I play in week 1 is brand new and the manager has never logged in. They put up a 60 hatstats in round one. |

As I said, no downside risk - PICed on the road in week 1 and won 7-0. |

Its good to see that you two are still playing
I'm still proud of my Misfitz for being the youngest team in division II and coming within a win or two of the ML! To bad daytrading and the over-emphasis on midfield killed it for me.

I think they mostly nerfed daytrading a while back:
First, they limited the amount you got based on how long they had been playing with you- something like 80% of total sale if sold within a week or two of buying. It doesn't maximize (93%, I think) until after they had been on your team for 1 season. Second, to prevent the buying of really high level players for a week, you have to pay 1 week's salary when you buy a player. That pretty much knocks out daytrading of high level players when you have to pay a $50K or $100K salary as soon as you buy. Lastly, they just made it so that you can only put a player on the market as often as they have played a game with your team. So, if the player has only played one game with you, they can only be put on the market once. That said- it's not like the economy of hattrick is super-developed so it just means there are only the other slow methods to build cash. I'm ok with that, tho. They still have the issue of a lot of teams tanking, tho, because they don't want to clean that up. And they still have the problem of being in 5th/6th place being advantageous to 2nd-4th at the end of the season. Then there's... you get the idea SI

I have finally finished up the thread with post #100. It would have happened sooner but I had to wipe my laptop hard drive and then put it all back together so I had some other computer issues on my plate. However, this thread is now complete, at least for the formatted portion. I guess the official dynasty goes from posts 1-100. I'll keep updating from time to time if I remember and if something substantial happens to my team.
But, yet again, thanks for everyone who read and participated in the thread- it's been a fun trip down memory lane and a hattrick magnum opus of sorts for us. SI

I see you in the flag lottery forum from time to time
Yes, we had another good season. We've got a qualifier coming up this weekend. If I had won the last game of the season, I would have autopromoted into II but there was no way I could beat him on the road so I PIC'd ahead of this week's qualifier. Hopefully I'll have a better shot this week with a MotS. Also, this year I got one of the three away flags I was missing in Qatar That just leaves Uganda and Maldives. SI

Hippos Season 39 In Review
Things started out very well for the Hippos this season. The cup run was a respectable 7 games- decent but not great. This allowed us to manipulate our team spirit to start out 6-0-1 in series. However, we played most of the tough teams in series at home and the easier ones on the road in the first half so things were going to get bumpier.
On the flag chasing front, I picked up one of the three away flags I had yet to get with Qatar! That leaves just Uganda and Maldives. For home flags, a season or two ago, I started going really hard just for the top 20 (less than 50 users). Anything else, I could get fairly easily with random challenges so I wanted to go hard after the difficult to get ones. And I'd wait until the last moment practically so that I had the highest chances of getting the rare flags. This resulted in (rank/users) Cabo Verde (15th/39), Oman (11th/35), Mongolia (18th/42), and Barbados (3rd/26) at home. This leaves just 12 very rare flags plus both home and away from the 2 aforementioned for a total of 16. I also had friendlies with Hrvatska, Oceania, and Osterreich, all of which have thousands because those weeks I did not get a rare friendly and waited until the last minute to get very common flags that I didn't have (they still count on the list). I also played TP's team On the series front, I won the first game in the second half and drew my top competition, Wahoos, for an 8-0-2 start. However, he was still only three points behind, having lost to me, and had a huge GD lead. I lost a game I never should have, getting badly HTRF'd and, going 0-1-1 against the 7th place finisher in the series on the season. This allowed the Wahoos to be ahead in the standings as we both had 26 points 11 games in. That next week, tho, I got a gift win on the road against the Selma Sumorats who would eventually go bot and the Wahoos were just as badly HTRF'd by 6th place Ennis RoyalCelt. That left the final standings in eventual 2nd place finisher T Hills FC's hands. He went on the road and beat the Wahoos in week 13, giving me the series crown. I was above the autopromotion line even. However, the final week of the season, I was faced with the decision of MotS'ing on the road to try and beat him or hedging my bets. In the end, I PIC'd, hoping that 3 of the 5 teams beneath me would also lose the last week of the season (as it's usually a week for a lot of 1/2 matchups) or, on the off chance that I would get an easy qualifier like a bot team. I stayed with T Hills for a while in our game before he pulled away and I probably would have lost even if I had MotS'd as it appears he did also and, at his home stadium, that would have been too much to overcome. Unfortunately, 4 of the 5 teams below me won and I was kicked down below the autopromotion line, landing a qualifier with II.1's Hennes United. He looked like he might have been giving up on the season and I had some hope. During the cup, he was putting up crazy level midfield ratings but over the last month, he didn't have anything over excellent. Even on the road, with some stored up team spirit, and an MotS, I could easily put up a magnificent and crush any other advantage he had. I later found out, that he sold off some aging guys once he knew he was above the autodemotion line to save some salary. He bought up a pair of really nice middies- probably ET or mythical- the week before our game and I thought I was done for. However, as game time approached, the skies opened up and rain is handy for teams like my own that play creatively because it stops a lot of other chances but not special events... Here's the end of season press release: Quote:
Quote:
So, yeah, after 12 seasons in III, the Hippos got some luck of their own! We're packing up and heading to II! It may only be a one season trip but it's still very, very cool Now, for a busy offseason with a little bit of team retooling. Some of the middies are getting a little old and I have $11M in the bank. SI

I've got about $11M in the bank and have already spent $5M of that on a multi-skilled winger (pm/wing/pass). I'm going to try and spend another $5M on a technical defensive forward while selling my previous forward for $3M so I still have about $4M in the bank while drastically improving my team. Finding one that is affordable is proving tricky- I keep having issues with them being for sale when I'm asleep SI

I kindof summed it up in the dynasty and I don't have a whole lot to add at this point. Front Office Football Central - View Single Post - [Hattrick] Houston Hippopotami (III.3); Special 20th Anniversary Thread It's more or less a ton of persistence- challenging during the week a lot and then finding new targets when you get denied, trying to go only after "good" targets (i.e. don't challenge dead teams), and a lot of luck. Oh, and going straight for rare targets. Don't waste time with larger countries until the last day or two. SI

A couple of new Press Annoucements for the new season. We got blasted 5-0 in our II.1 opener on the road and then squeaked by one of the weaker teams in the series 1-0. It's going to be a battle all season long. This next week is a key battle as we have one of the tougher teams at home. If we hold serve at home, we probably will survive this season. But if we can't win the games we need to, then we're back down to III.
With that, here are the most recent Press Announcements for the club. One might be of particular interest to FrogMan and terpkristin Quote:

We're getting quite old with almost every major player 28-30 so I'm not going to be able to hold on much longer. I'm trying to decide what to do next as I have about $6M in the bank and will be selling a couple of guys for $3M this year, which, after buying new defender trainees, will give me about $10M.

Yeah, it turns out II is really, really hard. We're still hanging on in II.1, but just barely. Here's a collection of our press releases over the past few months.

This season, I was bounced in the cup in the 5th round in a game I had a 1.19% chance of losing and an expected goals total of 5.4-0.7. The new match engine has not been kind to us as we've been on the unlucky end of a couple of home games already. Fortunately, ThomasRongen (Gaithersburg Bhoys F.C.) and GM-brxnivy (Pythons) have decided to rebuild so I should get that 6th place spot and get a chance at a qualifier. Remember, rebuilding in II means you put up ratings of 200-220 instead of the 250-350 that the active teams sport. I've shipped out a backup forward who was getting old but still fetched a decent haul (Tor Tetlie) and one trainee to go along with 2 last season. I have also swapped goalies, bringing in Antonio Ricardo De Carlo who has world class set pieces to go along with ET keeper ability. I'm sitting at $7M and have 4 more training to sell in the next season and a half so that should net me ~$10M more after I replace the trainees. My keeper is 22 and my new strikers are 24 and 25. I have a winger who is 28 but multiskilled so he has a few seasons left. And the defense is spoken for as that will be filled by trainees. But that leaves 3 middies and a 4th position that might be a WTM, might be a TDF- I dunno. My current middies and WTM are currently 30, 30, 30, and 35/36 so they'll have to be replaced very soon but I don't mind watching their wages go down with each birthday so they'll probably be here for another couple of seasons. Flag chasing has been good to me but I'll leave that for another post. Also, I think I'll have press announcements this season to a trio of fallen Hippo heroes. Quintin Staples, Sergio Chapin, and Brian Collier would all probably have made the hall except they died on bot teams before I could buy them back. SI

I need to make a note of this so I quit forgetting the site addresses every season when I need to make a new flag logo.
-Take the hosted/visited flag logos generated at Sig and Flag Creator -Combine the two PNGs into an animated GIF at Welcome to Gickr.com: Create GIF Animations online | Upload pictures or get images from Flickr | Pimp myspace graphics -Host new GIF at Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket I'll have more press announcement updates at the end of the season. This has been a great season for flag chasing already and has a good chance to get even better SI

Another eventful season for us in Hattrick, some good and some bad.
We finished our away flag collection and became just the fourth team in the USA to do that. As for hosting flags, I'm #1, by far, in terms of coolness but with only 77 flags (I'm only missing 4 flags in the top 50). There are quite a few teams who have more flags in the USA, but they're starting to run into rare flag crunch where they can't get a new flag every week because they did the easy ones first. In II.1, I ended the regular season in 6th but lost my qualifier to T Hills FC, a former series-mate in III.3 so I'll be heading back to the series where I was at for 12 seasons prior to promoting to II. I need to retool the team some as I'm getting older (most of my starters are around 30) but I do have some cash in the bank. I'm kindof undecided on whether I want to move up or move down or just hold where I'm at and see how the new training changes affect the game. Quote:

Congratulations on finishing the away flag chase and good luck getting back to II.
I spent a couple of seasons in div II with Hrudey22. He was responsible for what may have been my most ridiculous HT loss (matchid 13921072). |

We had an excellent season, advancing to round 9 in USA cup, retiring one of the two most famous Hippos ever (Q being the other), hosting 2 of my 4 really difficult remaining flags, and ending in 2nd place in III.3. Next season will be our 14th in the series.

I just re-upped for supporter for another year so I'm at least in it that long. Frankly, I think the Hippos have a little under 2 years left in the franchise:
* I'll have hit every flag by then, barring them introducing like 5 new ones. * I'll have been able to retire most everyone I want to the Hippo Hall of Heroes. * I'll max out all my achievement points. I'd love to get a 10 round cup run but have fallen short now 3 times in round 9. I'll have gotten a 100 member fed from YMCA or AMCY. Once my team starts going south, I'll sell them off and try for the "team-based" achievements, etc. Some I'll just never get like winning the cup, being #1 in the country, running the national team, etc. At that point, I feel that I'll have done everything I can in hattie. Sure, I could go all out and try to get to MLS. Maybe I'll do that before my team falls apart. If I have enough on the team to get back to II, I can try to push it to get to MLS if I've built up some more cash. But, again, that's a long shot, at best. SI

You can put all your old fogies up for sale and I can buy them all for an assload of money so you can retool. Could $60-70 million get you to the major leagues?

I'm pretty sure that would just get reported as cheating. That said, if I can't do it on my own, then I don't really deserve to make it up there.

Probably so.
I keep telling myself that the next season I'll feel like actually competing, but it just hasn't happened so I still, I imagine, am somewhere in the top of rich teams (no supporter any more, of course, so I don't really know).

A few notes to add that I will need to go back to later on:

Also, I never mentioned this in a Press Announcement, but Giancarlo Schalks is going to end up tied for 3rd in the USA Cup with 15 goals this season Quite a few Pressers will come out at the end of the season as we had a lot of news this year. EDIT: Another note about Ovesson, when I asked Denyson about his best game: Quote:

Yeah, I've been pretty stagnant with my team the last two or three seasons. This past week I've been revamping the friendly roster (bringing in younger players as bench fodder so I can skip a few more seasons, lol). I really need to revamp my league roster, but I haven't done the research yet to see where the most bang for my buck is. If I can stay motivated for it I'll probably do that this month. Eh, we'll see. Great to see you competing at such a high level SI. I always wanted to make it to III, but just couldn't manage to stay interested for a full season, lol. So I'm living vicariously through your hattrick success. Keep up the great work! |

Season 45 updates. Another busy one. Didn't have a crazy cup run like last season but we did have some fun. I'm a bit miffed about them adding 4 new countries as that made flag chasing that much harder. Oh, and the end was pretty good

Thanks! We're back to II for the second time. The series I landed in looks really tough so I'll be fortunate to stay free of auto-demotion, but if I can, I'd love to stick around another season or two

Since they're in the process of deleting some of the Youth Squad stuff, I thought I'd save the Youth Squad "Parent Notices" here. Remember, they were initially limited to 200 characters or something ridiculously small like that.

I've noticed that FOFC will screw up if you stack too much on a page. I ran into this on page 2 here where things would stop loading so I had to move some information around. I run into this with the first page of the fantasy leagues I run, too
