Nagan-4

and what's the point?
the one the activists proclaimed as the winner won
how can you rig the votes? newly registered users don't count, not only in the "Merlin system," but also in a simple count
the rest, those who voted, are real people who did so in a sound mind and with clear memory
and are 5-year-olds no longer people? are they a lower caste, so we'll reduce the weight of their votes! but the viewers are people, yes! they are a higher caste, so we'll increase the weight of their votes!
and where is the official (apart from assumptions) information that those who voted wouldn't have come? maybe Korolev is just convenient for them, and they wouldn't have gone anywhere else?
and those who go to Volgograd would go anywhere, because geography isn't that important to them, unlike those who voted not even for Vigo's bid, but for geography
and why deceive the people then? and also the fellow organizers? or are Stinger and Bishop only good at playing Heroes, but in real life they are complete losers? and the better you play Heroes, the easier it is to fool you?
Wowa, you won't be able to explain anything here, I've already tried. Why Korolev? Because it's Moscow, where everyone can easily get to. It's still the largest and strongest Moscow and St. Petersburg community. Look who voted for him - Stinger, AlexTheGreat, Armagedda, Bayazet, MatrosOFF, Mee, Vigo, vitalic, you. Maybe I missed someone, but the ones I mentioned have been through dozens of Chaos League tournaments, old St. Petersburg championships, Krasnodar, and Yekaterinburg tournaments. A core group of players could have formed, remembering the judging of Chaos and Alan, knowing how championships with a real competitive element should be held. The problem before was the limited time of the championships, but if there's a week, that's enough for a full-fledged championship.
Who voted for Volgograd from the old players? Besides Kirill, I know Napalm and Mizrael, both of whom have been to my tournaments in Michurinsk many times. The rest, excuse me, are those for whom offline tournaments started with the CIS championship, with all the downsides in the form of poker and booze, and they think that's what a normal Heroes tournament is. Therefore, Kirill's arguments that there are only true Heroes players in Volgograd, and only losers are willing to go to Korolev, are at least strange.
This, of course, doesn't apply to my probably best friends in the Heroes world, Horn and Dust, who voted for both cities.
Here, two groups of people simply clashed: those who believe that Heroes is just an addition to poker, and the new CIS champion was the final result of this attitude. And those who would like a normal tournament component. I know what will be in Volgograd: a good table, drinks, a buffet with songs, and great poker, it's all great, that's why I won't go there, I can't watch another pseudo-championship. In Korolev, considering that Tema Stinger, Bishop, and old St. Petersburg and Moscow players will be the organizers, I could hope for a change in the perception of the Heroes CIS, a full-fledged tournament. In Volgograd, who should I talk about this to - the dendroid club?
