As long as a tactic can be justified, it is worth using... I agree with you on this... The only question is whether the rating ideologues will become victims of their own illusions... :) Otherwise, no problems, as long as everyone is speaking the same language... :)
I missed a little skirmish here :) Basically, as I understand it, the results of some members of one clan raised slight suspicions due to the similarity of their Walkthroughs in terms of the number of days. My opinion on this is—the main thing is that there are no fake saves; this can be verified, and it is the organizer's duty if they volunteered to run the tournament. If the Walkthroughs are DIFFERENT, but EVEN IF the idea of the Walkthrough is identical, then there is no violation. AmberSoler is right that there is no way to prove or disprove out-of-game discussions of Walkthroughs between these players, and therefore the presumption of innocence applies in this case. In other words, the Walkthroughs of these players SHOULD be considered CLEAN, and each of them SHOULD be awarded a rating in accordance with the existing rating calculation rules. The clan rating as well—that goes without saying.

what do you mean you aren't raising the issue in principle??? you are clearly hinting at something... You are
They are hinting that POSSIBLY the Walkthrough for this tournament was developed jointly by players of your clan through out-of-game communication, which is forbidden by the rules. However, they immediately admit that even if that is the case, no one can prove a damn thing :) provided that each of your players performed the Walkthrough ITSELF independently after the discussion; in other words, there was no forging of saves.
And here I have a question for the organizers—why have such a prohibition that CANNOT be verified? I would cancel this prohibition. Let everyone decide for themselves whether it is worth revealing the secrets of their Walkthrough to anyone before the end of the tournament. Personally, I advise against revealing them even to the organizers BEFORE THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY RESULTS to avoid any misunderstandings.

It's precisely not clear to me! you want to accuse us of something... the question is—of what?? I'm not escalating, you're the one escalating... have we known each other for only one day???... well, don't say that—I actually know very little about you... And why is the question addressed to them—the accountants??.. I wonder what my reaction suggests?? I
Well, basically, AmberSoler assumes that if there was indeed a discussion among you during the tournament, the accountants calculating the rating will get distorted player rating results. As one of the accountants, I am on your side. Personally, I don't give a damn whether you discussed the Walkthrough or not. The main thing is that there is no forging of saves. It's up to each individual to choose their own rating strategy. Some value their personal rating, so they might not fully reveal their Walkthrough to the clan. Someone advocates for the clan rating and doesn't care about their personal one.
PS. And I just found it funny how you guys were talking in hints :)

He is not talking about vandalism in the tournament rules, but about the honor of play on the map itself, although personally I would call it—cunning, the cunning of the map author :)
:) What "honor of play" are you talking about when playing in OFF? A player is simply obliged to use what is not forbidden by the rules. After all, he doesn't know how other OFF players will behave. And if someone considers it unworthy of their honor to occupy an unguarded enemy computer Fortress in Off? :) If an artifact can be snatched from under a monster and it is clearly not forbidden in the tournament—then it must be done if you consider it the most successful solution for your Walkthrough. If the map author doesn't want you to take the artifact without defeating the monster, he hides the artifact behind the monster's backside and doesn't allow access to it. If he places the artifact right in front of the monster's face and allows the possibility to approach and take the artifact without a fight—that is the author's design :) In HoMM 4, one can be clever by trying to steal something by dropping a hero's grave at the unit's feet; however, this only works if using the space bar is allowed. Sometimes they snatch an artifact from under a monster, and if the monster attacks, they flee with the hero into the Fortress, taking the artifact with them. Fleeing is allowed, right? Or does "honor" not permit that either??
