By the way, since Ketch mentioned past events, I'll share my memories too. Few people know about these events, and they are being published in the open press for the first time. It happened at the League, about 2 years ago. Back then, they were holding online tournaments for fixed matches, but after the second tournament, a kind of vacuum formed - Horn refused to organize the third tournament, and so did mrc, so Chameleon started looking for a host. And at Horn's suggestion, he turned his attention to me. At that time, I had a completely empty record as a judge - I had only recently started playing Heroes, so the offer was quite unexpected. But during the negotiations, it turned out that Chameleon wanted something completely strange. In general, his proposal was as follows - he would be the main one, publishing the schedule and other organizational things, and I would run around, negotiate with the players, monitor deadlines, and deal with controversial moments myself first, and then submit them to him for approval. To which I rolled my eyes and said, "What are you talking about? Whoever guards, has it. That is, if I organize something, then I am responsible for it, but I also have the full power to make decisions. Accordingly, if everything goes well, I get the respect, and if I mess up, I get the backlash. And not in parts (like the current trend of privatizing profits and nationalizing losses)." Back then, Chameleon and I couldn't find common ground. I drew up the regulations, a list of maps, and that was the end of our communication. And Chameleon took on organizing the tournament himself. The subsequent events are already well known. From the very beginning, things went wrong. In the first round, there were arguments, during which me and Lord Dima were banned, and half of the discussion topic was deleted. In the ICQ, I don't remember any milder epithets in relation to Chameleon than "cretin." If that tournament hadn't been a qualifying round for the St. Petersburg championship, then most likely a number of people would have left it by then, at least I heard people talking about it. But still, they somehow managed to finish it, although in the 3rd round, Chameleon again did something strange - he arbitrarily awarded the result of the Horn-Vietnam match, even though they had already agreed on a different result. Another wave of protests arose, but it quickly subsided, as everyone understood that it was a lost cause. As a result, the St. Petersburg fixed match championships moved to Bai, regular online tournaments stopped, and only offline tournaments remained at the League. However, about a year later, when the noise died down, they still held the 4th online tournament, but this was more of a remnant of the former scale, based purely on Horn's enthusiasm, which is unlikely to continue. This is a somewhat sad, but very instructive story, showing what can happen when there is a poor understanding of the basic psychology of people. Added 7 minutes ago

There were no controversial moments with the CMCH except for one - regarding Vitalik - but at that time, that decision was perfectly acceptable to you, you yourself vehemently proved his guilt.

What would have changed if the CMCH hadn't been issued? Whoever wants to play with Vitalik, plays. Whoever doesn't want to, doesn't play. He and his regular partners don't care about the seasonal leagues. He doesn't even sign up for tournaments on his native HP, where no one issues him a CMCH. That is, the answer is - nothing.

at that time, that decision was perfectly acceptable to you, you yourself vehemently proved his guilt - then you also had no complaints about the work of the AC, and the very idea of it did not raise any questions for you, but when a decision was made that you did not like, then you got angry.

How else should it have been done? To ruin the idea of the AC right from the start? That would be stupid. And there is no factual material, as well as a clear confidence in one's own rightness. I said what I could at the time. History has shown that I was right. It will show this time too, where else can it go? In addition, if the decision is acceptable, why get angry? I'm not a telepath, I can't penetrate the minds of the AC members. If their actions correspond to my expectations, then there is hope that they think with the same criteria as I do. If it turns out that this is not the case, then the hopes are dispelled, and a bitter hangover sets in. I don't know what you call bias here... it's a perfectly adequate line.
