Nagan-4
Auto-translated
The organizer of this tournament sent me a link to this thread on ICQ.
Yes, he did, because at that time, some teams didn't have enough players (and even now, having some backups wouldn't hurt, just in case).
And a strong, skilled mercenary is a good thing. And he didn't just write to you, but to many other strong players, everyone who is in my ICQ contact list.
Everyone strongly opposed it. Why didn't anyone say it properly? I only see one reason, which Dzhavdet described.
Anyway: good luck to everyone, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: +3 to morale!!!
What are you talking about with these "strong oppositions," if we're going to argue... it's just ridiculous. Thank you very much for the morale boost.
And let non-clan teams participate OUTSIDE the competition, so to speak. And let the strongest clan – the one that takes the highest place among the clans – receive all the rewards...
This way, both the sheep and the wolves are happy – the number of participants is expanded, and the strongest clan is determined.
How does this compromise sound to you, friends?
But the situation here is strange: in any tournament, the goal is to expand the number of participants so that it is more interesting for EVERYONE! In the last day, maybe 1-2 more teams would have submitted applications, and it would have been possible to specify in the regulations that only clans can be rewarded (this is just an example, as one of the options...). But here, it turns out that several teams are not interested in increasing competition and sports interest in the first place.
Unfortunately. I already considered this option, joint participation of clans and teams made up of online players based on territorial or simply friendly grounds. When there was a team tournament, this initiative didn't find understanding among the clans; in the tournament, only Phoenixes played, and only the mercenary Neoandy played properly for the Guardians; when it got really bad, the mercenary Dubrovin joined.
If I announced another team tournament, some clans would be missing players, that's a fact, so there wouldn't be more teams.
And finally. I really spent a lot of time in the spring and now on organizing and conducting clan wars, negotiating with clan leaders and players, resolving problems with the roster, and resolving conflicts, explaining the rules; yesterday, about 15-20 people contacted me on ICQ regarding the clan war.
I just can't take what I've created over this time and throw it away, just because someone came up with the idea to redo the tournament on the last day before the start.
