Now, let me clarify the essence of your argument with Qwerty:
You, IronAxe, suggest introducing preliminary results, after which the saves can be calmly checked for cheating... This is where the problem lies...
Qwerty says that to verify the final results, an "anti-cheat" program is needed – which none of us have, and that's essentially the problem...
So, IronAxe was talking about preliminary results, while Qwerty was saying that an automated program is needed to check these saves.
I think I've explained everything:cool:
I just want to say that preliminary results do no harm and don't require much time. But remember the discussions about tournament organizers who also play. It wasn't me who started it. On the contrary, I'm in favor of organizers playing both for results and for ranking. Remember how in one of the tournaments, it seems it was Best Of Best, VDV_forever, being the tournament organizer, was one of the first to submit his Walkthrough, sent his save to the admin, and informed everyone about it so that there would be no talk or suspicion that he was using saves sent to him by other players. And his action was correct. Now that we have Clans, and the Clans also include tournament organizers, the same thing happens. Preliminary results are designed to eliminate the suspicion that the results of opponents will be passed through the organizer to their Clan. And they have three days in reserve, having the opponent's result in hand. In other words, if a person feels that his result is good and he sends his result on the last day, he knows that the next day the preliminary results will be posted, showing the preliminary results of everyone. Opponents do not have enough time to improve their results. Because preliminary results in the final stage cannot be IMPROVED. After verification, only cheaters can be disqualified. And without preliminary results, all sorts of unnecessary suspicions may arise. Take even your situation. Your diskette could not be read, and you PRELIMINARILY sent your result without the save and explanatory information about the save that you haven't sent yet. And this removes any suspicion about you and your save. Only the organizer sees these preliminary results. And all other players will see all this together only in a few days at the final announcement (in three days or more). In general, I don't suspect anyone of anything yet, understand as you wish, but I believe that announcing preliminary results is not superfluous. That's why I contacted LZMС with a question, but I see that its work boils down to some incomprehensible meetings on the organization of LZMС itself. I consider my question to be related to the regulation of relations between Clans, and I don't see anything wrong with it.
PS. Oh, sorry, I confused you with Zingel in the example, but nevertheless, this does not change the main idea.
