1. We agreed in advance to hold the CIS club championship in HoMM3.
Based on this, I am calmly preparing the championship, incurring certain expenses, and coordinating with people and players. In over 10 years, I have organized more than 30 Tournaments; frankly, I don't intend to prove anything to anyone.
It has always been this way—the organizer takes charge of the organization because they know the local realities best. On the other hand, if the tournament fails, they get the blame; that's normal.
I take responsibility for running the tournament. If I fail—blame me. But afterwards, not before!!!!!!! There is nothing more to discuss here.
Moving on.
2 Peterius.
Hm, I see, I won't get answers to my questions.
I didn't hear your questions. I am doing everything I can to accommodate you, thinking about how to run the final and shift the deadlines so that you can play. Read my posts above. Am I not doing what I can?
Wicc is right, exactly—fools. But apparently, things with the club are so "tight" it's practically a prenuptial agreement. Or maybe there is something else we don't know.
Go ahead, assume whatever you like about what we have there.
In any case, contracting practice should provide the right to withdraw from an intention, especially if those intentions depend on many factors and there is a substantial time reserve. Another matter is that you, Eric, had no desire from the start to use this right. If you've already promised, then yes, everyone will have to adjust, but what's the point?
It's simply that I gave my word and the people at the club trusted me. They rearranged the computers as I asked, gave me time to run tests, and agreed to all the conditions I proposed. When people treat me with human decency, I respond in kind. You are younger than me, you grew up in a different environment, and perhaps this seems like a foolish anachronism to you.
Same thing with the billiards and BBQ—the game schedule will be tossed out, partly because of the events themselves and partly because of the confusion facilitating it.
2 Wicc
Well, in the evening, after the tour—we'll play properly or have some snacks. What, is this the first time we're doing this?
There will be about 25 people here, meaning the theoretical minimum is 5 rounds, otherwise we'll have to determine the champion via Buchholz. And then there's talk of some BBQ, billiards, bowling... "no son, that's fantasy."
No, you need to make up your mind. If it's a sanatorium-style bed-rest regime, then we definitely won't have time. If it's a normal tournament—then we will. I can list all my tournaments, except for the summer one—the only time I consciously turned it into a drinking bout. But surely there's a difference between a friendly get-together and a CIS championship?
I completely agree with Wicc. We talked about this a lot in Kyiv.
Although I suggested everyone go to Minsk for the next tournament
2 Captain.
And last year I was persuading people to go to Kyiv so that you could hold a full-scale tournament.
In Kyiv, people stayed for 300r, and the club ended up being 450r for all days. Maybe everyone should head to Kyiv again?
Listen, convince Cobra and Peterius to go to you. It'll be easier for me, as I'm tired of justifying obvious things.
Sorry if I wrote something harshly; today has been a hard day at work. Peace to all.
By the way, it seems to me the problem is also that Nagan simply hasn't been to Kingisepp or Minsk in a long time and forgot (if he was even there?) how all this works. Please listen to the people. Now, a question... Eric, what exactly did you promise the club, jokes aside? Hit me up in private please.
2 Cobra.
I'll tell you more: I've never even been there. I listen to people, but on the condition that it's not to my own detriment. As for what I promised the club—see above.
