The 3rd stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2007).

Aks, if I understand you correctly, is this a subtle hint that the results (and places) of the Order of the Phoenix and Homo Homini in the first 2 stages were quite close? Apparently, there were just good players there.

I didn't imply anything and I didn't accuse anyone of anything. The performance of the Walkthroughs in the Clans you mentioned is different, although the essence of the Walkthrough is similar. I compared the Walkthroughs of players Kyle and Zingel based on the saves and descriptions. I didn't notice any violations. But whether they discussed the Walkthrough among themselves or not - I can't prove or disprove it, and no one can. The point of my posts is that there is NO NEED to prohibit what cannot be verified!! And therefore, even if the players discuss the Walkthrough in private messages, it is their personal business. And what should we do with brothers and sisters who share one computer, or even three?

Iron, it seems to me that you just love to test people's nerves.

It seems - make the sign of the cross :)

What do dark horses and veterans have to do with it. YOU think you have more rights than I do!!! Based on what merits. With such a situation, you will soon be playing alone. I also live with my brothers, and if I send their saves, will you question my honesty just because I've been on the forum for a month? Please explain!!!

First, understand the essence of my posts - then attack. I don't understand what else I should explain to you yet?? :)

Do you think a player will send 3 saves from himself? Wouldn't it be safer to send them from 3 different email addresses? And there will be no suspicion.

Well, there can be different options. I agree, this one is better and simpler. However, if you want, you can probably find out the IP address of the computer from which the emails were sent. There are, however, tricky programs like proxy switches. But still, if there is a strong desire, it is possible to catch clones from one computer, although I may be wrong.

And it would be even better if players were not allowed to transfer saves to another player. Then there would be no point in these "manipulations".

Do you even understand what you are saying? How do you imagine money circulating in the HW world when no one will trade or exchange goods with anyone? Then why was it called money? It's just some kind of points that can be used to get something for yourself.

Point 12 of the rules:
Discussion of the Tournament during its conduct is PROHIBITED!!!
That is, both on the forum and in private messages, and anywhere. It is impossible to track this, but when they themselves say that they discussed the Walkthrough... (they should have kept quiet :))

They are not saying that they discussed it, they are saying that they knew the results and are sending each other final saves, if, for example, one is away and could not send his save before leaving due to connection problems.
Point 12 of the rules can be crossed out. It is what it is. It should be written like this: Discussion of the Tournament on the forum during its conduct is PROHIBITED.

It is impossible to track this, but when they themselves say that they discussed the Walkthrough... (they should have kept quiet :))

Well, they blurted it out, but others may not have. And what? Should we only go after those who honestly said that they are brothers and sisters??

How does this work? Why do you know each other's results? Everyone has their own Walkthrough, and no one interferes with anyone else's. Maybe someone "accidentally" looked at someone else's Walkthrough? (although the rules do not prohibit viewing someone else's save)

What are you picking on them for? And now I will say that I discussed the Tournament with you in a private message :) even though I didn't. Will we both be hanged? And those who, if there were any, discussed it but kept silent, will say - what fools - they should have kept quiet and done what they did, like us :)

Moreover, I think that asking my sister how much she passed the Tournament is not a big deal, because everyone has their own Walkthrough. We also understand that identical saves will not be accepted from us, because they may think that one of us passed it, and the other just took his save... so draw your own conclusions...

That's right. The main thing is that the Walkthrough is completed by himself and that it is not a clone (copy) of someone else's save. It's just that your sister said that she sent the save FOR you. She just needed to send your save from YOUR name, and that's it :) And then it turns out - who is the most honest - they might give him a hat :)
