Regarding the awarding of the victory, it's an obvious manipulation, as far as I know. Based on the current game situation, the victory will most likely be awarded to the Dark faction. I want to cite a recent example of a victory being awarded: a game in OFB against Jaris, in which I was losing strategically and had no desire to continue playing. However, the organizer told me that the beginning of the second month was too early for awarding the victory, and he scheduled an odd game twice, only agreeing to award the victory on turn 247. Why would they force players to play until the third month in one tournament, and award the victory at the end of the first month in another?
