Colleagues! I suggest we don't create a conflict. Let's calmly sort things out without emotions.
As I understand it, it was my post that caused such a sharp reaction.
First, let me remind you that I am not the organizer of the tournament. Also, I am not a moderator for the third game. In this regard, I expressed my personal opinion, and there is no need to blame the tournament organizers.
I expressed myself in this way only because that is how it is. The tournament is indeed closed. But this does not mean that you cannot apply to participate in the tournament. And the organizers will decide whether to accept this participant or not.
Personally, I advocated for some participants with the organizers. The organizers kindly added people to the list of participants.
There is no need to make monsters out of the tournament organizers. They came up with a great idea and implemented it. There are shortcomings in the saves... they happen to almost everyone. When I held a tournament for the second game, one of the best Heroes of Might and Magic 2 players in the world checked the save. I'm not exaggerating, it's really true. Well, we both reviewed one of the possible scenarios. And I came up with this scenario only in the middle of the tournament. And then it turned out that the path that we tried to make impossible was still passed by one of the participants! After that, I voluntarily resigned from the position of tournament host on another portal, but here, if a new host is not found, I will again host tournaments. Because no one is perfect.
Now, back to the problem of closed tournaments. Once, I tried to come to parks and play chess. As a rule, I was not invited to play. For various reasons: for some, I was too weak, for some, too strong, for some, I was just an outsider. And if people played without a clock, and I offered them sports rules (blitz, take-and-move, eating the king, etc.) - they ignored me.
If you come to a chess tournament with a fifteen-minute time control and say "let's play blitz" - they will say "go where they play blitz".
Different tournaments are needed, and in large numbers. There are closed and open tournaments. And that's normal.
I hope for understanding,

Although Natasha asked me to stop this discussion, I will speak for the last time.
The essence of the claims is simple: If the organizers think that their task is to post an assignment, and after the deadline, summarize the results... then what is the point of such organizers? The first stage has been going on for a long time, there are more and more people willing to participate, but who responded to their requests?!
Secondly, the infamous closed tournaments. This naturally follows from the first point. Will anyone play if they are not sure that they will be accepted into the tournament?!
And thirdly, Natasha specifically suggested how to improve the game on SoD using TE. Only three points, expecting an answer. What was the answer?!
I agree about the errors, they happen, but you need to be able to admit them!!!
And the only thing I was harsh about was my attitude towards the old version of the game.
Why wasn't patch 3.2 installed, which doesn't change anything in SoD, but only removes bugs???
