Apologies, but the phrase "Kostya said that rebuilding is disabled" is the last straw. And also "the situation is simple." This is just sheer madness.
I'll break it down point by point:
1. All this time, I constantly adapted as best I could to the game time convenient for my opponent, which resulted in extreme anxiety and a complete lack of normal life (but that's trivial, right). In the end, when we finally started, and Alexander was hosting — on 112 — during my turn — I receive a billion questions about the rules in the game chat. After that, the person has the audacity to write in the report "Kostya was pressed for time."
2. Regarding the rebuilding — the opponent wrote, when the game had long been underway — oh, I didn't set up the rebuild. There was absolutely no talk of anything being somewhere in the code (I don't understand where this came from or why). I simply said that I was very short on time, so let's just play as is. That is, I again accommodated the opponent, but he again considers this to be normal.
3. The only compromise time was agreed upon in advance and confirmed several times — at 17:00 last Saturday. The opponent doesn't show up. At 17:20, I sit down to finish an extremely difficult mirror match against Hellight, because that game also required a calm time. At 17:40, Num shows up and says "sorry, Kostya, I fell asleep." So, I was supposed to tell Hell a turn before the final, "sorry, Anton, Num woke up, I'm going to go play with him now in case he falls asleep again"?? And this too is considered normal and has nothing to do with the game.
4. Specifically in this game, my opponent already had 3 minutes on the timer by 114, and by 117 — exactly 0! Meanwhile, our first save occurred exactly at 117. We reload (as always at an extremely inconvenient time, but I adapted, tearing myself away out of respect for the opponent), and then, miraculously, the opponent starts taking 4-5 minutes per turn (while in the treasure zone!), perfectly saving his timer. Let's also skip the fact that for over a week, the opponent spends time in 2 treasure zones (naturally, with air control, who would doubt it — but that's Papal intuition, what else), while I scouted and ate at least twice as much in full. In short, I was already seriously thinking back then about the simplicity and similarity of my passwords. And after the most insolent report, which just makes you want to spit, and even more so...
5. Regarding demoning, necromancy, etc. in the late game. At the time of submitting the save for adjudication: my army — 60+ vivs, an angel, and 23 naga queens vs. 8 naga queens and trash. And nearby, 2 more hives and the Griffin Conservatory (which the opponent already didn't take and passed the turn). Plus, I have the Knight's Shield and both pendants for morale/luck, taken from both sides. So the question is: how long would one need to fly around and try to fatten up (without ever exposing oneself!) to have any chance at all of pulling off a Fortress Break? I was ready for a Fortress Break without question, say, 211 — a perfectly reasonable timeframe for a tournament game. In fact, that's how it used to be done. At 411, of course, I wasn't ready — and there would have been no way to manage it in time.
6. For a second, I imagined that if in boxing, in the absence of a knockout, the judges didn't award a win on points, but instead sat thinking about who would have won if 25 more rounds were given, and if they didn't reach a consensus, they'd flip a coin. An amazing sport. But here, apparently, there will never be any sport, just fun leisure after work, if you haven't fallen asleep.
I've written everything as it is, because I couldn't sleep all night over this nonsense. Imho, such a victory for Num, combined with its calm acceptance and the writing of such a report (he supposedly leveled someone perfectly there — just laughable) — is a disgrace. For both the player and the tournament. I have absolutely no desire to ever cross paths with this person again, and I'm not going to the CIS event, at least because people like that will be there.
That's all from me.
