Appeal to the Appeals Commission regarding the second game of the BO3 series in the Blitz-Jebus Cross - 3 (SOD) tournament.
I will describe the disputable situation that arose in the game with player Jelen117:
1. The game: Jelen117 as Conflux, color red, kamukag3e as Dungeon, color blue.
2. On his turn 112, player Jelen117 writes to me in the game chat that he does not have a road guard on the path to the central treasure zone, and asks me whether this is a technical restart. I reply that, in my opinion, it is not, but he can take a regular restart. At that moment, neither Jelen117 nor I knew the exact interpretation of the rules, otherwise why would we have been discussing it in the chat. Therefore, Jelen117 said he would ask more experienced players about this situation. Meanwhile, I asked Jelen several times in the chat if he wanted to take a restart, and each time received a negative answer. (a video recording of the game is available from player NikoStar; I can provide it if necessary; the correspondence in the game chat is visible on the recording).
2. In the end, Jelen117 skipped his turn 112, and I played my turn 112 completely. Then a message came from the tournament referee Ihromant asking me to send the save file from the game to check if there was a technical restart. At the same time, player Jelen117 left the game (either on my turn 112 or on his turn 113 — this can be seen on the video recording), without writing anything to me before leaving.
3. I immediately sent the save and password to the referee. After reviewing the saves, the referee determined that it was a restart but did not immediately tell me what kind of restart. After a short correspondence in ICQ, the referee showed me a screenshot of the opponent's map. After that, I clarified that the guard was indeed present, just not on the central road. The referee then forwarded me a rule clause stating that this is a restart at the player's discretion, and that he wishes to take a restart on turn 111. At that moment, I did not argue with the referee, as I needed time to think through the situation.
4. In my opinion, the referee made an incorrect decision regarding the game, as he did not investigate all the circumstances of the situation described above, namely Section III, clause 3 of the rules states: that a player has the right to a restart at the discretion of the player who lacks a road guard in the passage through which the road to the central treasure zone passes. The restart is taken on the day this fact is discovered. Given the circumstance that (according to the saves) player Jelen117 discovered the fact of the absence of the road guard on his turn 112, he had the right to take a restart on turn 112 by informing me of this, but he did not do so, despite the fact that I asked him at least twice "do you wish to take a restart?" Nothing prevented him from writing "restart" to me, and then sorting it out with me and, with the help of the referee, finding out whether it was a restart on turn 111 or 112, technical or discretionary.
I draw the attention of the Appeals Commission to the fact that this tournament is played with a shortened timer, and very little time is allocated for all game moments, including taking a restart. Therefore, the player is initially in a situation where decisions must be made quickly and thoughtfully. Which, in my opinion, player Jelen117 did when he wrote to me that he did not want to take a restart. Although there is always the opportunity to attack at the end of the turn, reset the timer in combat, but get a clear decision on his issue. The subsequent intervention of the referee deprived me of the opportunity to play a winning game: on turn 111, I already had 155+80 (from Pandora's box) = 235 Troglodytes, in addition (as the map reveal showed) near the castle, 50-99 Obsidian Gargoyles guarding a sword +6, a box with another 60 Troglodytes and a Griffin Conservatory with 3 Angels, along the road there was another Griffin Conservatory with 3 Angels and another single Griffin Conservatory, not to mention the Dragon Fly Hives, which were taken with Angels without losses of Troglodytes. Having a stack of 300+ Troglodytes and 6-7 Angels by turn 121, I could safely go to the center. Meanwhile, the opponent has only two Dragon Fly Hives with 6 Wyverns each on his respawn. And the miner in this game would level up like a god — the third skill came as Earth, then Wisdom, Defense, Logistics, Pathfinding.
I am ready to attach all necessary logs, ICQ correspondence, and a video recording of my game; I think that player Jelen117, who constantly streams, also has a recording of the game.
Additionally, I inform you that at that time I submitted to the referee's decision and agreed to a restart on turn 111, after which we continued playing, but we have not yet finished the game. I also realize that I am not as strong a player as Jelen117, and my chances of winning the overall BO3 series are very low; I rate my level of play as slightly worse than SirDavos or sonic111, although I have beaten these players.
But, despite this, based on the foregoing, I ask the Appeals Commission to consider my complaint and make a decision to award player Jelen117 a technical loss in this game, accordingly we should not continue the game after the restart unjustifiably assigned by the referee's decision, but should start a new third game with new bidding for the castles.
Sincerely, Ivan (kamukag3e)
