Rules for Heroes of Might and Magic III online tournaments on HeroesWorld.

I still don't understand what criteria will be used to select the AC. The voting is ongoing, people are earning points, but what happens next?

Next, the AC members must be approved so that the AC can function.
Pit has already written about it, and I have also posted a few times.
The forum, as it was, say, a year and a half ago, and as it is now, is completely different: more players, the level of tournaments has increased. Are the players satisfied with the current situation? Judging by how this topic has grown and the voting has gone, no.

The AC can and should resolve issues.
1. Speed up the completion of all ongoing tournaments.
2. Approve priority, main tournaments, on which concentrated efforts will be focused. For example, a well-organized individual tournament, as large as possible, involving the best organizers, promoting all the best players, and posting an announcement on the website. Let's say a tournament called "HeroesWorld Forum Championship," because we haven't had a tournament since Adelaide where all the best players participated. Of course, we will invite guests. What's wrong with determining the forum champion and rewarding them?
We have grown out of our infancy.
3. Hold a clan war. Clans are the keepers of the forum's traditions; half of the players are in clans. Clans like "Man to Man," "Order of the Phoenix," "Many in One," "Witches," "Riders of the Apocalypse," and SNC are successfully participating in clan wars, and there is an opportunity to further increase clan representation. Even one new clan is a victory.
This is a unique online tournament that other forums don't have.
Does the clan war deserve to become a notable event on our forum? Absolutely, yes.
There are probably other interesting tournament projects in the works, and there's nothing wrong with them being organized and the organizers receiving effective support.
4. And resolving disputes. I'm tired of this arguing, who shouts louder and who has more friends. There will be a body that makes decisions.
2. How many people should be in the AC? For example, I want 5, many want 7. Will the number of people in the AC be determined by a simple majority? For example, 20 people voted for a 7-member AC, and 10 people voted for a 5-member AC, so there will be 7. Am I understanding this correctly?
3. How will "against" votes be taken into account? For example, one candidate has 7 votes against him and 18 for him out of 25 votes. The second candidate has 12 "for" and no votes against. Who is more preferable? In my opinion, 12-0 is more preferable than 18-7, because the one with many "against" votes is not respected by a sufficient number of people. I repeat, IMHO.
4. I initially thought that I should vote for someone from the 7 initial candidates. Can I change my mind now?
Sorry if the answers were here before, I think I scrolled through everything, but I might have missed a lot.

Friends, there is a term - "to resolve the issue." When the moment comes when the mood is not in your favor and a decision that you don't like will be made, then quite legitimate actions begin, leading to inaction, to torpedoing the problem. For example, so that I can write about the AC.
1. Why are there 120 players, but only 30-something voted, where is the legitimacy, a clear and blatant arbitrariness?
2. Why is Lebron on the list? He lives on the Portal; how will he protect us if there is a conflict with the Portal?
3. So, is it 5 or 7 people who are chosen? WHERE IS IT CLEARLY WRITTEN THAT IT'S 7, and not 5? This is very important, that it is exactly 7, and not 5, because (then I give effective arguments, while remembering Horatio, Churchill, the world crisis, and my grandfather - a war hero).
4. Why did this list appear, where did the names come from...?

In general, with due diligence, the AC can be dismantled. Cancel the vote and start a new one, although no, first set deadlines when everyone can think about it and submit an application, create a committee to review applications, reject a couple along the way, arguing, then put it to a vote, say in a month... But who will vote?
The issue is interesting to people as long as it is hot, as long as people, when they come home from work, immediately go to the topic about the AC.
In a month, or even in a week, the interest will disappear, and no one will need any AC vote. Even if they politely vote at the request of the organizers, there will be no respect for this body, why respect clowns?

Therefore, I will say directly, the issue arose spontaneously, while it is hot, it needs to be brought to a conclusion. Approve the AC, give it powers, and let it work. Re-elections in six months.
It is impossible to give less time; the guys simply won't have time to do anything; they are the first team; they need to figure out what to do and where to start.

In six months - re-elections, a month before the re-elections, you can announce the start of accepting applications for the second council and hold a full, completely legitimate vote there.

Alternative 1. Cancel everything and restart the slow, pseudo-peaceful life on the forum. There are no new ideas; a new AC, with mass involvement of players, is impossible - since Pit didn't succeed.
In general, neither fish nor meat, there are no ideas, nothing needs to be changed, this is the first stage of degradation; I have already experienced this on Wings and on the League.

Alternative 2. AC War. I thought for a moment, what would I do if I wanted to fight, for various reasons. Probably, I would identify strong personalities who were not included or did not support the idea of the AC. Dirty_Player, a person who has done a lot for the forum, should definitely be told that the AC includes personalities who have done much less than him for the forum. Is this true? Yes.
Look for invisible, a person with a conscience, direct, emotional, freedom-loving. Ask if he wants to return to the forum in 1937, otherwise, what is the AC for?
Talk to Wicc. He is also a freedom-loving person; ask if he needs an AC. He wrote that not really.
Look for weaknesses in the AC, be sure to remind about Alex R, a person who is also direct, tells the truth, is reckless, and is probably not liked by everyone.
Go through the players; I would recruit about 5 people. Involve new players, tell them that they will be oppressed. Create a broad coalition.
Then I would smile broadly. You can fight successfully and productively.

But there is only one question. Would we come to such a forum where there are wars and squabbles, undercurrents? At one time, I asked old and new players of the forum - Eugene, Alex R, vbn, Tanya, Decontaminator, Dreamcatcher, Mizrael, Scorp, Dirty, Pit, Javdet, and everyone else?
I think not, it's not for us. Those who want to fight should go with their ideas somewhere else; there are plenty of places.

I urge all players who love our (or even not our own, but just like it) resource to unite, stop the squabbles, and calmly discuss how to get out of the crisis. My proposals.
1. Include Dirty_Player; he is leading in the additional list. Definitely, such a person should be in the AC. Then the degree of discontent will decrease; he is an obvious leader in the additional list and has support, as he received 11 votes. What will happen if there is a tie in the votes in the AC with 8 participants, 4-4? This is a very rare case, hardly. It is difficult to imagine that the AC members will deliberately play with votes; they are not children; we will re-elect them.
2. Get a promise from Dirty_Player and Alex R that, being decent people, they will rise above personal dislike and work for the good of the forum.

Sorry for such a post; usually, such things are written in private messages; it's just somehow unpleasant to read the squabbles on our forum.
