Situation in the game was discussed with judges, report has been written, confirmed, and counted... Should have thought earlier when there was a chance.
I will answer once more anyway, to remind how exactly the discussion of the situation in my game with ShameOnYou progressed chronologically, and to clarify my position, in case anyone is still interested in understanding it.
And I will not write further on this topic in the tournament thread.
In the very first discussion of this situation with the judge via private message (with Pit specifically) I stated that I agree not to insist on a win if there is clarity going forward on the rule regarding stalemate situations. If a wording is adopted under which I would not be able to claim victory in such a situation. Pit suggested I propose a better wording, but at that time I could not.
Therefore, at the time of writing the first version of the report ("should have thought earlier"), there was nothing yet to think about. There was no new version of the rule.
After that, discussion heated up, and starting from the basic ideas provided by Britvochka and Maretti, taking into account the sensible remarks made in this thread (as well as the result of private discussions with interested people) — a new wording of the rule gradually took shape, one that can be adopted and applied without inducing nausea (the absence of such nausea is what seems important). A link to this new proposed wording is now in my signature.
And only after that did the opportunity to "think" once more arise. Which is what was done. I will not now insist at all costs that this rule be immediately inserted into the HeroesWorld rules. It is now clear that this is the next, longer stage of overcoming inertia. For now, it is enough that the essence is now clear to me and my opponent in this disputed situation.
Hence our final decision with Shame — a draw. As long as there was no clarity on how the rule should sound in a human way, this decision could not be made.
Once again, the main point briefly.
I do not even agree that I am changing my mind somewhere by now saying that we have a draw in our game — from the very start, from the very first discussion in ICQ, I said that I consider this situation disputed, and I agree not to insist on a win if clarity is achieved on how the rule should sound so that one would want to apply it — for me, this clarity has now been achieved.
Counting a draw in this game — I consider it an ideal solution in this situation based on the outcome of all discussions. If the judges do not change their opinion and now "will not change anything" — ok, that will be the judges' decision. All arguments have been made, I have nothing more to add. Peace.
