To Vigo or not to Vigo? That is the question.

Let's try to understand why this is happening.

Series 2. Analysis of Vigo's reports.
The analysis was conducted in two directions:
- level of play. According to the reports, the player's level in tournaments is significantly higher than in the league.
- analysis of the linguistic features of the text. The style and vocabulary of tournament and league reports differ significantly; they were written by different people.
There is a lot of interesting information in the topic Seasonal CUP spring 2009 on HP.
I briefly wrote about it on the Portal on August 15, 2009, at 20:15: http://heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=265334&pagenum=11; read it there, I won't repeat it.
There is a compilation that testifies to:
a) the different level of Vigo's play in the league and tournaments,
b) and the fact that Vigo's tournament reports were written by vitalic.
If you're not lazy, you will find the reports of both in the attached file in the previous post. Read them; you don't need to be a linguist; everything is obvious. Moreover, given the recent events on ДжОбус, we have all become experts in linguistic analysis.

The analysis of the reports provides a list of victims of Vigo being replaced by vitalic (starting with the summer Interportal):

scorp 21.07.2008 Summer Interportal HP vs HV
WISTRIT 16.10.2008 Tournament "Wars of Clans: online (Autumn 2008)"
Mizrael 22.11.2008 Tournament "Wars of Clans: online (Autumn 2008)"

Dudge 08.12.2008 Tournament "Wars of Clans: online (Autumn 2008)"
But4er 13.01.2009 Tournament Jebus Cross
Dreamcatcher 24.02.2009 Tournament Jebus Cross
Kash 11.04.2009 Team Tournament: Spring 2009
Mizrael 12.04.2009 Tournament Best of HeroesWorld
Pit for LM 16.04.2009 Tournament Jebus Cross
Alone 18.04.2009 Team Tournament: Spring 2009
Dirty_Plaeyr - Clan War: Summer 2009

Of course, the list is incomplete. Apparently, vitalic could not/did not have time to write some of the reports for some reason, but it was necessary to post the victory urgently. Then a post from Vigo appeared:
Report later.
However, the report did not appear later.

Regarding the legal significance of linguistic analysis.
I suppose that not everyone knows that what was written above is called "Author Identification Expertise" - the study of a text (most often printed) to establish authorship or obtain any information about the author and the conditions for creating the text document.
In this case, the linguistic features of the text are studied.
One of the tasks of such expertise is identification - verification of authorship:
- Confirmation of the authorship of a specific person
- Exclusion of the authorship of a specific person
- Verification that the author of the entire text was the same person.
- Verification that the person who wrote the text is also its real author.
Texts are studied at five levels: punctuation, spelling, syntax, lexical-phraseological, and stylistic. Fragmentary analysis is possible when part of the text is written by one person, and attempts were made to conceal authorship.
I will not go into details; this is a separate, interesting, but very extensive topic.
Author identification expertise is currently carried out by many law firms; its results are evidence in court, along with forensic medical examination, ballistic examination, and handwriting examination, etc.
In our case, there is a lot of material (usually, a text of at least 500 words is required), the authors did not try to conceal authorship, the differentiation of the language skills and characteristics of each person is not difficult, and any linguistics student can handle the analysis in a couple of hours.
