Plans for CIS-2018.

Gray, but what does Moscow have to do with Yeburg? Why don't you present your proposal? Who's stopping you?

I think what's stopping you is that organizing such an event requires certain efforts and investments. It's not like winning a tender or a government contract. If you remember, in 2017, no one needed anything; Sergey prepared everything, but then people appeared who wanted something "better" – Volgograd emerged. Then, almost at the last moment, Vitya appeared, waving a saber, saying he would do everything beautifully. :D As for the Hota tournament in Korolev, that's just :smile35:. After that, I wouldn't even approach the issue of organizing anything, because there's a high probability that at the last moment, some hypothetical Anapa will appear, and people will rush there.

Gray, but what does Moscow have to do with it?

Moscow is relevant because, following last year's discussions, it was decided that since Moscow (or the Moscow region) didn't win in 2017, they would be given the right to host the event in 2018. This satisfied everyone at the time. Therefore, I would like to see either the organizers take on this task or officially state that they are not interested. Why beat around the bush?

Who cares about the opinion of the forum members?

Forum members? No one. What matters is the opinion of those who will actually come and invest money, and not those who will ruin the event because they agreed on an apartment in St. Petersburg. And other people have to go where he "points" for free.

Again, a small group of 3-4 people will make a deal and announce their decision, presenting it as a "vote."

Ideally, that's how it should be! Ideally, there should be an organizing committee that decides and presents the decision to the public. Then there will be no disputes, and everyone will be satisfied. Any "vote" leads to disputes and arguments.
