Specifically in that story, Redwait had 2 serious arguments - the absence of a direct prohibition in the rules (even though the bug was known) and unofficial permission from 2 members of the administration.

In such a situation, refusing to use the bug could result in post-game comments like "well, you're a fool, you missed an easy victory."

Do you even realize what you're saying? You admit that the person used a BUG (not a feature!) and you say that, in theory, you would do the same if you had the opportunity):smile21: :smile21: :smile11: :smile07:
To put it simply, I don't know if your brilliant mind will understand this phrase: "In that situation, I wouldn't even think about using this bug, because it wouldn't occur to me."

It's interesting, why do you think that your perception of the world is more adequate?

He actually has an adequate view, judging by the statements above.:)

The heroic tradition is that bugs are considered features until they are prohibited at the level of the rules. That is, you can use it once, but not anymore.

Let me tell you a secret, a feature is a small, unconventional action that helps you in one way or another. As Nitro said, "I sit for 10 minutes, watching a Mull rushing past me to the left, I sit for another 10 minutes watching a Mull rushing past me to the right, another 10 minutes upwards, another 10 minutes downwards," I can simplify the task for your brain, moves are one of the most valuable resources in the game (and considering the game on HotA - NK), so by giving yourself, let's say, infinite moves, you are simply violating the rules of the game.

P.S.
I'm not discussing Redwait's actions now, but specifically the opinion of a possible future judge!
