Well, I understand that there are people who don't like me – Dust, Ketch – they're not on board, but arguing is right up their alley. :)
Dust, did you even read why I wanted to send Mizrael packing? Because I politely messaged him on ICQ, and he responded with insults. And following Vik's advice, I'm not going to put up with that – if someone insults me, I won't just sit here and cry.
What are you yelling about now?
Have you chosen a version?
Have you chosen templates?
Have you chosen rules?
Now, the only question left is who will go if Keba and/or Eddie can't make it.
It seems like this question has already been resolved – Stinger is going from Michurinsk. He told me and Forrest that yesterday on ICQ. He's not a kid either, so he won't be running back and forth... What will he do if, right before the tournament, Keba suddenly says he can go?
Darth was right – it's easier for Vik and me to sort things out on ICQ. :)
And Vik was right too – without some drama, there's no interest in the tournament... we just need to keep it a little quieter.
And criticism never hurt anyone. I'm aware that I'm just pushing Vitalik into the finals, and Vik is helping him along... and I don't know why we both need this. :)\br
Regarding the criticism and communication on ICQ – it's been a madhouse for me these past few days. Some are constantly saying that TE-rule is great, and TE-lite sucks, while others say that TE-lite is great, and TE is not. They're also complaining that the HL templates are the same, and that the main idea of the tournament – UNITY – couldn't be realized in Moscow.
That's what I'm talking about – since Vik said that he helped organize the tournaments in Moscow and Michurinsk, I'm publicly voicing my criticism of his work (so that we don't repeat these mistakes):
1. Stinger and Preds participated in two tournaments, and it's unclear where they should be placed (as an example, what would happen if Stinger went from Moscow and Keba suddenly "appeared").
2. Stinger was given a player with 1 point in the 4th round – a clear mistake by the judge.
3. Vova was given all the saves, and then they started hinting at his dishonesty. Honestly, I'd like to invite Vova to Kyiv just for that. Besides, someone said that he performed well in the qualifiers.
4. Vitalik – well, I've already stated my position on this – the guy was labeled a cheater, and they don't want him to atone for his "sins." I was also told that Eddie was banned on Battle.net – they seem to be quite "democratic" over there. And yet, no one is yelling about Eddie, who honestly won in Moscow against Pit and Vitalik and took 1st place.
So, let's continue arguing... you're welcome. :)
