It's strange that you focused on such an obvious thing.
I didn't focus on it personally for you, but for the forum readers; judging by the posts, not everyone clearly understands this point.
But it would be useful for maintaining good relations.
That's correct. A fixed map clearly shows us that "you shouldn't use SH, it's bad and unfair." And I agree with you; you really shouldn't use it. But how does it follow from this that killing an opponent on day 111 in a Castle is fair or unfair? Maybe you can show another fixed map where it is allowed to kill a blue player with a clearly weaker army on day 111? Or where it is forbidden.
It doesn't directly follow, but the analogy was yours, I believe.
And fairness/unfairness only follows from understanding the game...

regarding the restarts: when Vic came up with the rules for Anarchy and drew the template, there were as many as 5 restarts in my memory, precisely to provide additional equal chances.
But at the same time, he specifically stated that there would be no restart if players meet on ANY day! including day 1 (accompanying this with the phrase "it's his own fault"))).
And all the Anarchy Tournaments that were held under his supervision adhered to this number of restarts.
On Hireswold, to save time, the number of restarts was reduced for such a dispersive template, and if there is any unfairness to be found, it is only in this.
However, everyone plays, and nothing happens.
Listen, buddy, let's say I get two restarts, and you get one." Is that called fair play?
Listen, buddy, let's say I get Galtrane, and you get Piguegram.
Is that called fair play?
Fire Gosha on day 111? Shouldn't you attack a Castle on day 111 if you can?
By the way, in the described case, the blue player almost always takes restarts himself, without waiting for his turn.
When he is killed on day 111, he doesn't make any decisions (I'll clarify again that there were no restarts before that, the game has just started).
If there were no restarts, then minus 1.
A restart for an unplayable starting position.
It happens all the time.
This is not "unfair," but "bad luck."

In general, the point was precisely the phrase "game actions."
The blue player either performed them (a restart being the ultimate one) and "it's his own fault" (© Vic), or he didn't perform them (there were no restarts), but he will perform them later, or both.
As for why he was deprived of a restart, we discussed that above
