SoY-2: Online Tournaments "Seasons of year" - "Seasons of year" - Autumn Season 2007

...I remembered that changes were made to the rules before the semi-finals.

And while looking during the game, I only then noticed that you can't join any neutral creatures, not even quest creatures...

You're pathetic. Before the game, you subtly "reminded" me, just in case I had forgotten, about the rules regarding joining creatures and the Grail. Right? And now you're trying to excuse yourself, saying you supposedly forgot.

by this time, the butterflies were long gone; I got rid of them in literally 1-2 turns...

Exactly, you got rid of them, not dismissed them. Besides, if you remembered, why did one of your heroes continue to ride a butterfly for about a week? And why didn't you tell me about it, but only mentioned it at the very last moment? Did you think you could get away with it?

whether they will consider this a serious violation or not.

Exactly, it's a violation, and it's obvious, whether it's serious or not is secondary. But you accused me of violating the rules and "playing unfairly," without any basis whatsoever, and that really offended me. I told you that I don't like such hints directed at me, but you kept bringing it up repeatedly, didn't you? And now, this is a matter of principle for me. Maybe after all this, you'll learn to behave and talk to people normally, especially those you don't know. This is unworthy, especially for a reigning "champion."
And also, the rules clearly state what should happen in case of a violation, and there's no need to try to elicit sympathy from the organizer; they already have a hard time. Maybe this will serve as a lesson for you in the future.
If the organizer considers this a perfectly normal occurrence and that the rules can be adjusted again for each specific case, then I believe that the rules are unnecessary, and that's wrong. In this case, I will withdraw my candidacy from the tournament.
