The situation is tricky, especially since both sides in the discussion are not entirely logical in their reasoning.
From my perspective, there are two clear points that are important and that the AC cannot ignore, and a reasoned decision needs to be made.
1. Based on the current rules, everything is fine except for the ping issue in Hamachi (there will be lingering doubts and suspicions, but this can be lived with, and the game will have to continue).
But even with the ping in Hamachi, not everything is straightforward. Two points are important:
- Can the Dark30/Vova pair somehow prove that the ping occurred? Apart from the fact that "they saw it with their own eyes" (was there a stream? is there a video recording?)
If they cannot, then this issue will have to be closed.
- And even if they can, some authoritative source is needed to confirm that the ping is impossible due to a Hamachi glitch. I don't know, for example, at least the support for this Hamachi, to whom you need to write and somehow get an answer, or someone with extensive experience as a system administrator and a clear head, who can clearly explain this issue to the AC.
Yes, common sense and superficial knowledge of how networks work (mine, and judging by the discussion, not just mine) suggest that ping is impossible if the computer is disconnected from the network, but doubts still remain, especially since Hamachi is a "quirky" program.
2. Since the checkboxes for saving every day and saving before battles already exist and work stably, the rules should include a clause requiring their use in official games. In addition, a couple of sentences can be added to clarify the nuance of saving at the end of the turn specifically through autosave, and not "manually" (I myself, after playing for six months (after a long break), only figured out the nuances of these situations last week and realized that you need to load from autosaves, and there are, as we can see, guys who will never think about it until they "get involved" in a controversial situation).
In addition, it seems that it is necessary to add an explanation about the need to create a complete copy of all game saves in case the match is postponed, and immediately after the match is postponed, to eliminate absurd excuses in the style of "the autosave was overwritten." This is really a kindergarten, but someone regularly mentions that their "autosave was overwritten." In this discussion, this excuse was voiced by a respected person, an honorary moderator of almost all Twitch chats. In general, it is better to clarify this nuance as well. This situation should be unequivocally equated to the absence of daily saves.
