Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments. Auto-translated

Good day. I ask that you take a couple of minutes of your time and read this post.
I was caught cheating; I admit it, I made a mistake, I was misguided...
I ask for your forgiveness and leniency; this will not happen again...
I want to continue playing my favorite game. Thank you for your attention.

By decision of the Arbitration Committee of Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, a ban will be issued on 01.01.2018 (naturally, provided there are no repeated violations of the forum rules; in case of a relapse, a lifetime ban will be issued).

I’ll add that the AK decided to compromise, but only due to good faith. Furthermore, it should be understood that you shouldn’t just wait for the deadline, but also play fairly with other users. If complaints arise about unfair play, and they are confirmed, then there will be no question of removing the ban.

Thank you, it’s nice to read this.

This is more of a question for HotaKrew or Baratorch, but definitely not for the Academy.

Moved to the appropriate topic. Otherwise, they play wherever they want and then run to complain to the Academy.

Good day to you all! I request that the Arbitration Committee resolve a contentious issue in the Official Forum Board. Specifically, Cobra decided to make changes to the rules after the tournament had already begun and is unilaterally changing the rules as he sees fit. The rules were stated here: /topic/10593/, where it was specifically mentioned that in Tournaments, players are allowed a total of three restarts /post/666456/, not two! There were no amendments made to the Skirmish template, and making any amendments at the end of the tournament constitutes a violation of the rules. Initially, it was stated like this: (The Organizer reserves the right to modify and supplement these rules before the start of the tournament. If the Arbitration Committee makes any changes to the rules after the tournament has started, they will automatically take effect in this tournament from the round following the current one. (Changes will not apply to games that have already started)). And after a personal conversation with Cobra, the wording magically changed to: (The Organizer reserves the right to modify and supplement these rules. If the Arbitration Committee makes any changes to the rules after the tournament has started, they will automatically take effect in this tournament from the round following the current one. (Changes will not apply to games that have already started)). I think checking this won't be difficult for those who have the opportunity! Making edits to the rules to suit oneself is simply low... ("I do what I want – I am GOD"). This change just finished me off; there are no words… Cobra, "well done."

So that’s why the Cobra defeated me, that sneaky snake....

I don't know where you crawled out from, but you'd be better off staying there! Accusing me of something like this is beyond the pale; you've even outdone Lucky. :)
Regarding the other "accusations," before you speak, I'd like to hear your opponent, Patriot, and his perspective on the situation.

That's why Cobra won against me, sneaky snake...

Exactly! :D And most importantly, I banned restarts altogether in the game against you. :D

good answer

From my perspective, everything is quite straightforward. There's a comment with an edit on page 112, including the rest. I'm completely satisfied with this point. TT simply wanted to clarify, and that's all there is to it. I believe 112 is a perfectly reasonable point within this template, and I don't see any real problem.

Guys, are you serious? You're stuck on the number of restarts and haven't played a single turn today. You could have played at least 3 games.)))) Is it really that important that no one could compromise? We easily agreed on 113 and started playing (I would have agreed to 112 as well). You could have flipped a coin in the end. Be more serious, resolve this issue yourselves; you're all adults. Don't make AK and the community laugh with these kinds of "arguments."

I only didn't understand one thing: what does AK have to do with it if there's an organizer who clearly states the rules regarding rests? I can concede, or I can choose not to; it's my right. I chose not to, and that's my decision. If it's a matter of principle for the opponent, and we see that it is, then that's their choice. IMHO.

I've seen sick people, but you're even worse. I'm ready to give up my saves and not continue the game where I'm 100% sure of my victory. Yar, and you, as always, are afraid of me; you're a player with a below-average skill level, so keep it up:D

What is this? If you go to the "Favorites" topic, there's a lot of this kind of thing. I think he was playing on the last Chinese server... maybe that's enough?

I request that the administration investigate the organization of the Novice tournament. The organizer is changing the rules at the last moment and not following them himself, and is also accepting questionable participants into the tournament.

Appeal to the appeals committee regarding the Novice 2018 - Winter tournament, specifically to investigate and make a decision on the following issues:
1. Change the tournament format back to the previous one. Currently, 4 players advance from each group (5-6 players), and the playoff stage is bo1. This playoff format, which doesn't allow for any mistakes, is not suitable for novice players.
2. Prevent players who cannot be considered novices from participating in the tournament, and who did not meet the rules at the time of group formation (the rules were changed 1 day ago): PaTRioT (250+ ranked games, participated in two Novice tournaments), Mori (already participated in two Novice tournaments), ckotuHa (participated in two Novice tournaments), o1dboy79 (100+ ranked games, participated in two Novice tournaments), Порфустанг (a clone of Принц, at least he writes reports in the fan forums for Принц), Alin (200+ ranked games).
