Nagan-4
Auto-translated
Come on, no need to rush. We can't even get tickets right now – they're sold out at the station, so we need to figure something out online.
I wanted to clarify the accommodation situation. We can chat about it on ICQ tomorrow.
2 Dust. I'm definitely good on the accommodation front. A large room with two double sofas will be enough for four people. You already have the biggest expenses among all the guests.
And we might have a great group – 3-4 people from Siberia, I'll invite 3-4 from Yekaterinburg – to see my champions. Hopefully, they didn't vote for Michurinsk for nothing. Two from Tambov, two from Oskol, possibly two from Cheboksary. 2-3 from St. Petersburg, 2-3 from Moscow, and three more solo players have expressed interest. That's 19 to 23 guests, and they're all strong players. If we add the local crowd, it'll be like a mini-Krasnodar.
I'm not just pulling these numbers out of thin air – I'm talking about specific Heroes of Might and Magic nicknames of experienced players who have expressed a desire to play in Michurinsk.
The main thing is for everyone to coordinate and come. The more people, the better.
Also, about the club. I talked to the admins, 2500 rubles – that's the daily rental fee for the club, and 7500 for three days. It's easier to rent the whole club for three days; the more people, the cheaper it will be per person, maybe around 350 rubles per person for three days.
About the hotel. Damn, they raised the prices again, now it's 1000 rubles per day.
So, if someone arrives on Friday morning, they'll stay in the hotel for Friday and Saturday, two days.
On Sunday morning, they'll check out and leave their belongings at the club, all set. It's convenient; they can leave in the evening, and their belongings will be safe and secure.
The total cost for the hotel is 2000 rubles.
The hotel is quite decent, a five-story building. The rooms for the Heroes of Might and Magic players will be located in one wing, close together, so it's easier to visit each other. The director is a good friend of mine, so there won't be any problems with the staff, even if someone stays out late in the city.
About the prize pool. Let's make it 1500 rubles. There will definitely be 20 people at the championship, which is 1000 bucks. The first prize at the CIS championship in Krasnodar was the same.
For three days, and considering they'll be having fun with the Heroes of Might and Magic community, it's a good prize for the winner.
Tournament expenses. Let's calculate: 2000 + 1500 + 350 = 3850 rubles. That's the cost for the club, accommodation, and tournament fees. Some people will stay with me, and some won't register for the tournament and will just come to hang out, so the actual expenses will be lower.
And, of course, some money will be spent on socializing (hopefully, it doesn't turn into mass riots). In our city, everything is quite cheap (food, drinks, and clubs) compared to many other cities I've been to, so the expenses won't be too high.
If all the guests decide to come, we'll have a lot to write about on the forum.
