DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

I repeat: a tournament is a different matter; 3 restarts are acceptable here, although 2 is better in the group stage.

It has already been said that the rules of the season are often based on the rules of tournaments. In addition, when playing for fun, you can always agree on the number of restarts; if you are not satisfied with the number, you can refuse to play with a player and look for another. For example, the rules of the season state that the time per turn is 6 minutes, but players agree on 8, 10, or unlimited time. This does not invalidate the game but is a matter of agreement. If you do not agree to unlimited time, then the opponent does not agree to 6 minutes.

If you had written - 2 restarts in total for the game, I would not have misunderstood you. But 2 restarts taken by one player as "proof" of not cheating would be a failure, because the player chose from 3 options and naturally did not take the last restart. That's what I meant.

Well, now you understand, and 2 restarts in a SOD (Simultaneous Online Duel) is a normal situation, and it would also be a failure to consider taking them as "proof" of cheating, because even the proposed system with 2 days in total implies 2 restarts. In addition, the fact that you are essentially determining why one player or another did not take the 3rd restart "naturally" is completely unclear to me. When you say such things, you are speaking for all those who took 2 restarts and did not take the 3rd. Can you judge the reasons why all the players who did not take the 3rd restart did not take it, and the reasons why they took the previous 2?

- It is clearly implied that each of them. IMHO.

I noticed that you really like to attribute the characteristic of being irrefutable to statements. Where in that expression is there proof that the phrase cannot be perceived in any other way? You understood it that way, but that does not mean that it cannot be understood differently in any case. In case of misunderstanding, clarifications are made.

PS. I also play with Heroic sound
