Posts from Матч HeroesWorld - HeroesPortal

Comrades! Just now, the player Zerzes from Heroeportal (his ICQ is 121-309-752) contacted me. I've already heard a lot of good things about him as a judge, player, and person, so I ask that you give due attention to his proposals. And he proposes, as the head of the ON-Line Guild of players, to PLAY A MATCH BETWEEN RESOURCES IN ALL VERSIONS OF HEROES! Zerzes confirmed that the online players of the Portal would like to play in HoMM 2, 3, 4, and 5. The team composition is 5 people in each version, totaling 20 people from the resource. They suggest that we discuss this proposal. I repeat - the person who proposed this tournament has a good reputation among players, even from other resources; the proposal is serious, and I very much ask that you assist in this noble challenge from a friendly resource. Thank you very much for your attention.

I agree to play Heroes of Might and Magic V! I'll be glad to meet new players!

What? I communicate with almost all the players in Heroes of Might and Magic II online from the portal, and no one has mentioned being ready to field 5 players for this match. Therefore, regarding the seriousness of the proposal, please confirm. And it's not worth making your reputation dependent on others.

I believe in Zerzes. My job involves relying on intuition.
I have a specific role on the forum: organizing some online competitions for the third installment.
I've passed on what was requested. I think the proposal is interesting and serious enough for the tournament organizers of other versions to consider it. If there are any questions, you can ask him on ICQ.

I'd say that right now, an online tournament is being held between three forums, focusing on the second installment of the "Heroes" series. And it's not being held in a spirit of opposition and rivalry between different resources, but rather in a spirit of cooperation and friendship!!!
It's better to discuss such issues first and then announce them.

I would really like to play in a five-player game. But how will the five players be chosen?

I would really like to play in a team of five. But how will the five players be chosen?

For example, we, as a group of three, could conduct a vote among the players. Those who receive the most votes and have earned the respect of online players would play for the team. It would be good if each version of the game on our forum had its own match coordinator. Then we could present counter-proposals not in a conversational manner, but with a package of business proposals. IMHO, this would add credibility to our forum during negotiations. And it would also be easier for the activists on the other side.

A preliminary headcount of players before the agreement would have added more certainty. We don't have five players for a 2v2 online match. What are you doing, comrade???

Hold on, let's clarify. Read the first post. It states:
1. A player from the Portal contacted me via ICQ.
2. He suggested having 5 players from each resource participate in each version of the game. And he proposed that we discuss this proposal.
3. I posted about the proposal on our forum.

And what am I doing? All my posts are based on the context outlined above.
The rest is up to you, the organizers of each version. It's never too late to decline, just as it is to agree on the number of players for each version.

I believe that a tournament with a format similar to the one currently being held for Heroes of Might and Magic II is optimal for versions with a smaller player base. In reality, neither Haven, nor Academy, nor Dungeon will be able to field a full team of five players capable of playing the required number of games within the allotted time. This is because the total number of active players in Heroes of Might and Magic II online in the Russian-speaking community is only 15-20. In Heroes of Might and Magic III and V, there may be that many players, and it might be possible to gather them, but in any case, this will lead to the tournament being prolonged. I think the optimal format would be a tournament in which each faction has three players. Mobile teams with a strong lineup of participants, similar to the recent clan tournament.

Yes. Great! Three is perfect. Just wish it would be done faster. Otherwise, it will drag on as always...

I would be happy to participate in a 5-player match for the benefit of Hv.

Dear forum members. I want to emphasize – this is a discussion of the proposal! In my opinion, five is too few for Heroes 3 and Heroes 5. For the others, we can make a counter-proposal – reduce it to three. But for Heroes 3 and Heroes 5, we can have seven.:D

What? I communicate with almost all players in the second game online from the portal, and no one told me about the readiness to field 5 players for this match. Therefore, regarding the seriousness of the proposal, please confirm. And you shouldn't make your reputation dependent on others.

And I will say that an online tournament of three forums for the second game is currently underway. And it is not in the spirit of opposition and rivalry between different resources, but in the spirit of cooperation and friendship!!!
And it is better to discuss such issues first, and then announce them.

The initial count of players before preliminary agreement would have added credibility. We don't have our own five players for the second game online. What are you doing, comrade???

Dear Qwerty, I completely don't understand your harshness. The topic was created specifically for discussion, if I'm not mistaken. Let me explain the history of the matter. Zerzes from the Portal contacted me regarding organizing a tournament for all versions between sites. I advised him to contact Nagan, since I know both people as active and responsible organizers who don't throw words to the wind. Therefore, it is not worth rushing with criticism, but it is better to let them work normally.

Regarding the tournament. I think the optimal solution would be this: if there is not enough quorum, for example, if even 3 people cannot be gathered in a team, then you can make it not an inter-resource tournament, but a non-resource one :) Just put everyone in one group, and everyone will play against everyone. If the leaders in the 2nd game consider it impractical to duplicate tournaments, given the ongoing 3-resource tournament, then it can be included in the inter-portal tournament. And in the 3rd game, perhaps, two teams of 5 people can be gathered. And many players are more interested in playing for the flag :) And believe me, dear Loi, that this may not be a meeting on the Elbe, but the Berlin Wall will definitely not be built

We just need to sort things out within our own group. If three people for versions two and four (apparently) is too many, then for the third and fifth versions it's simply a mockery of common sense. Here we conducted a survey among online players – what they think should be the ideal team of five forum members. Sixteen of the most active players responded, and here are the results. /topic/at/177118/ Notice how many excellent fighters won't make it into the team, won't play, won't defend the honor of our forum! If the team consists of 5 or, God forbid, 3 players. Such legendary players of our forum as vbn or Alex R will not be included in the lineup. Of course, you can recruit based on their "legendary" status, but then other excellent players who consider World their home will not get into the team. Why do we need this if even I, who visit the Portal relatively rarely, can name a dozen desperate Heroes of Might and Magic 3 players there, and there are probably more of them. It’s hard for me to say about the top five; I know the guys, but I don't really understand the real strength of the players. Of course, disproportion is unacceptable if half of the total number of players consist of those playing version three. But it could be done like this – separate calculations for each version. For example, our versions two and three players win, they lose in Heroes of Might and Magic 4 and Heroes of Might and Magic 5 – which means the final score by versions: 2-2 - peace, friendship, chewing gum, a draw. If we win three out of four versions, that's our victory. If they win three versions, then vice versa. I would suggest an option. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - 3 people. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - 7 people. Heroes of Might and Magic 4 - (?), actually, it's also difficult to recruit enough players for version four; hardly more than three. Heroes of Might and Magic 5 - 5 or 7 people should gather; this version is very popular. Each of the four groups, led by a captain, independently agrees with their neighbors on the rules and composition – and plays. And then either brings home one common victory, or ... ends up defeated. It all depends on how it turns out. And there will be no point in arguing. We’ll just play.
