Lecture Discussion

I am very glad for you :)

In general, the overall content of your post implies that you are accusing me of something (which I didn't understand :))

Well, I can't really accuse you of anything.
Yesterday I had a beer, and I see your post...
I thought, what the heck – the administration is creating a guide to cheating, opening a thread to discuss this guide, suggesting something to change/improve/add, and then you appear and say:
"Let's make life easier for tournament participants, because they are poor and come up with all sorts of workarounds"...
So I took it personally, and here's how:
- I immediately realized that this was "for prestige":D
- I was surprised by the cheapness of the method you chose to gain prestige – you referred to my post, but you could also refer to practically any other post in these two threads and say (paraphrasing "Let's make life easier..." as I perceived it yesterday) – "Ugh, what is this malicious cheater doing among us, ordinary cheaters?":D :D :D

At first, I suddenly felt sorry for my post on "intelligence gathering," but now I don't really care, so, I repeat, no accusations.

Oh, I'm also glad that you are a moderator:smile12:
When I grow up, I will definitely become a moderator:smile33:

Regarding the development of the "guide" topic and cheating... I had an idea, what if we post here methods of cheating that make life as difficult as possible for tournament organizers, and listen to them, the organizers, about how they would detect such a situation in real combat/tournament conditions? Because I have some ideas....

Regarding that very type of tournament....
In fact, I see two ways to organize them so far:

1. A truly "free" tournament, the results of which would not affect "reputation" and would not be immortalized on the site... In other words, people will play to
a) get pleasure from the game;
b) so that everyone for some time (during the tournament) sees that they are presenting themselves as "fair players," which, in turn, is a kind of temporary "reputation"... i.e., the issue of motivation is not overlooked....

2. A rating blitz, tightly compressed in terms of time: you can announce in advance that at a certain time the starting save will be uploaded and on the same day the final version will be accepted from the participant. If there are, say, 3-4 stages, then all sorts of "lucky-unlucky" factors will be leveled out....

But is it really needed by anyone?
(Inquisitor probably also immediately understood that I wrote all this for prestige and bragging:D :D :D)
