This sounds very hypocritical. Like, match-fixing is not allowed, but if it's for free, or in a neutral situation, or at 5 a.m., then it's okay, right?

Try to at least roughly formulate a concept of rules that would legalize episodes #1-6, but prohibit episode #0.

Let's not confuse the issues. The rules of Heroes tournaments have never had and do not have legitimacy anywhere except in our small Heroes world. If we had a federation, like in football or chess, then there would be a principle, as you said, "...a concept of rules that would legalize episodes...", and lawyers would work on these rules, getting good money for it. But no one can do anything about match-fixing, even in football. But if a "Tom" football player shouts to the opponent's goalkeeper, "I'll give you 100 thousand if you let a goal in..." and then tells the newspapers that it was necessary to score a goal and stay in the top league, otherwise there is no money, he will have big problems with the law.

Our Heroes world is fun, but there are certain human norms that should not be violated. Otherwise, tomorrow some specific guy will come with a knife and become the champion, take the money, because the rules do not say that it is impossible to wave a knife under the opponent's nose, "yes, he waved a pen, but he really respected him and played fairly" :smile30: That is, these moments have always been up to the judge's discretion in Heroes. Of course, if someone wants to lose, he will lose - he will lose to the main hero with one infantry unit in the Hive, he will let the loser defeat his entire army, this cannot be fought. But doing this in public, not denying the fact that they were dividing other people's money among themselves, is not okay. And the problem is not really about the money, it's just disgusting how brazenly they boast about it.
