I won't respond point by point here. I have absolutely no desire to engage in a "constructive dialogue" with you.
I was perfectly aware of all these pros and cons without your help. I'm not completely stupid; I graduated from university with honors.
You, on the other hand, seem to be just writing your own lengthy posts without reading what's being written in response, and you're reveling in your own verbosity.
I don't want to repeat what I've already written, and I don't have the time.
In short, here's the gist.
Delayed matches were only done to accommodate opponents. I always played my matches on time, and it was easy for me to give technical defeats to those who didn't play.
Instead, I wasted hours negotiating in ICQ, tracking down all interested parties, and finding out why they couldn't play on time. I explained what delayed matches were. I didn't know I also had to report to you. Others didn't seem to have any questions.
Now, of course, I bitterly regret it.
Your quote from ICQ, written offline
so be a king in your own world, and you can ignore the others (those who don't speak the way you like)
I don't know what moral satisfaction this victory, achieved through squabbles and scandals, will bring you.
Even with delayed matches, the top three winners are clearly defined.
And this is clearly visible in the tournament table.
If you've been searching the internet, you've probably come across this phrase:
"Just win all your matches, and then no matter how clever the system is, it won't take your victory away."
Okay, I won't argue anymore.
I don't want to argue anymore. I was warned by knowledgeable people that a scandal in the final of the tournament was inevitable, as in any tournament. I didn't believe it, I was naive.
I am bitterly disappointed and my only desire is for this tournament to end as soon as possible, to post the results, and to leave.
In the month of this tournament, I've seen things I haven't seen in my entire life. Although I've run many tournaments in Diablo.
The willingness to stir up a scandal for a few points, the dismissive attitude towards opponents by avoiding playing. And without any explanation – they just disappear silently.
The most interesting thing is that the most pleasant people and opponents are at the bottom of the tournament table. For them, human interaction through the game comes first. Victory is secondary. And they play to the end, and don't leave when they lose their chances of winning, like some "fathers."
I was preparing a grand speech about the results of the tournament, but I won't do it anymore.
There will now be only four posts from me in this thread. Two reports about the games, the draw for round 6, and the final results.
