Actually, I was thinking of writing a separate, lengthy post summarizing everything – plus, there were some questions directed specifically at me that I didn't have time to answer (because, among other things, yesterday I walked about 30 kilometers as part of the hippotherapy sessions)...
But now I'm thinking – why bother? And for what purpose? I could show the answers from the end of the textbook. I could even demonstrate how these answers were obtained (i.e., the solutions to the problems). But what's the point? I've already written everything I wanted to say.
So, in short:
1. I perceive the CIS Championship as a separate project.
I apologize to anyone I may have unintentionally offended by calling them "nobodies." But if a person wasn't present either in real life or on the forum, they are essentially just a technical voter. It's not up to them to decide where and how the CIS Championship should be held.
2. I still feel compelled to, hopefully, make one last jab at Mee. Instead of fighting with Merlin (who is, after all, just a collective image of the CIS, if you will, and who identifies the trend, rather than defining it – he simply voices it), instead of looking for a way to throw his 20-30k somewhere else, he should have used it to help his "brother" by adding to his travel expenses to get to Volgograd. You are not my enemy. And Asma, whom I helped with repairs and, when needed, with his children, and whose entire family I love (including his youngest brother) – I will still consider him a friend, even though he betrayed me a little and started "playing games" himself.
3. Regarding the results of the vote. I repeat. I took a firm and unambiguous position. The vote was held. It was up for a week. There were two applications: Volgograd and Yekaterinburg. Volgograd won. What followed was just some "strange games" (as they say).
We can talk and analyze for a long time about the mass "dumping" of votes for Korolev (among whom a judge, whom many consider and still consider to be an authority, also participated)... But, again, why and to what end?
Everyone draws their own conclusions. And I'll just leave this here... Screenshots from a stream...
it's unclear why the vote was even held.
even before it started, there were suspicions that, despite everything, the outcome would be exactly as Merlin decided!
the point system is simply brilliant – with its help, you can force anything, even put an owl on a globe and a hedgehog on a condom! Merlin also decides which major official Heroes tournaments should be awarded points for, and which shouldn't – he is the embodiment of objectivity and fairness, right! After all, mages are not subjects, but objects!
