Auto-translated
Wicc, the lecture on political science is informative but not new. There are various governance regimes; if democracy is not to your liking, then I suggest you take your fine eloquence into politics and replace your puppet president with your authoritarian rule. Only history shows that this clearly does not end well for the people.
The idea here is that the form of government should be chosen like clothing — so that it fits well, looks good, etc. And whether it's democracy or dictatorship doesn't matter; each is good in its own way in different situations.
It seemed obvious to me that this was the idea conveyed by the text. Turns out it only seemed that way, so now I'm spelling it out in simpler language...
Most Heroes players are well suited to so-called anarchic democracy — that is, it's like democracy, but everyone's vote carries a different weight. In fact, this is mostly what exists, and even AK occasionally feels its grip on his balls.
I understand that you and Vlk, as representatives of the local bottom of the hierarchical ladder, would like your voice to carry as much weight as the voice of more respected members of the Community. That's why you yap like little dogs, defending the system and thinking you're raising your own authority. I dare to assure you, that's not the case :cool:. Quality matters more than quantity here.
Nevertheless, I am grateful to you and Vlk for this spam. If not for it, the discussion would have died out long ago, and many thoughts would have had to be expressed later and perhaps in a less successful form. As it is, everything turned out compact and in the right mood. Moreover, it is addressed to you, not to AK — that is, there is no factor of directive pressure, which people tend to resist as a phenomenon.

Wicc — nice story, by your logic HeroesWorld should now be rotting, the number of tournaments should be decreasing, there should be mass exoduses to Bays and Portals — nothing of the sort is happening
First, decline is just as diverse in its forms as growth. For instance, stagnation in SoD-dwelling and thus falling out of the trend of progressive development is also a form of decline.
Second, these processes are quite inertial — the effect only manifests over time. For example, when I wrote about the League during those events, few believed me. It really wasn't obvious; many (including such a smart person as Horn) thought they'd make some noise and stop, and things would go on as usual.
Third, nothing is lost yet; this is a period of power transition. There is a well-founded hope that AK of the second summoning will not repeat the mistakes of the first summoning, especially after everything has been laid out on the shelves.
So I won't venture to confidently predict the future of HeroesWorld — there are too many uncertainties. I am merely describing factors that might influence that future.
Plus, since I myself intend to do something for the development of the Heroes movement, you understand that making fatalistic predictions doesn't quite suit me.
And if, say, in a year or two at the next CIS championship, representatives of HeroesWorld earn half the spots and end up among the prize winners in more than just isolated numbers, that will mean the course was chosen correctly.
