You don't need to elaborate on the benefits of the ranking system for me: :) I've seen your discussions about it before, and it's clear that it's not perfect. But there's no better way to assess and compare players' skill levels. I won't argue about anything. My goal was simply to suggest another option – not *instead* of the ranking system, but *in addition* to it.

What if your easy (mostly depending on your mood and attitude towards the rating) rating fluctuates between 1750 and 1999 during one season? Are you an average noob?

I don't know, Lizard, where you found a noob. Neither Dirty nor I have noobs at the 1750 level.

You're an inconsistent easy-rating player.

But if you prefer being an average noob, then be one.

Don't stop there, Alfi, delete another couple of posts; it seems like you've been on a roll lately :D

Just spamming here, IMHO, Lizardmen would be even better –

Don't stop, Alfie, delete a couple more posts, you've been on a roll lately :D

In essence, it wasn't really a deletion. More like replacing them with a more accurate response.
The image-association of a rock 'n' roll lizard was also deliberately included in the formulation. :smile02: (but it's not just that, the lizard is a multifaceted personality).

Marmot, it seems to me that you don't quite have a clear picture of the average "casual" player. This is someone who, instead of a 5-minute test, would rather leave the lobby and go watch streams or soccer. Your version of a semi-mandatory test is a hassle, and nowadays the global concept of entertainment is clear: hassle is bad, hassle is fascism, everything has to be easy, cool, yo. It makes me sick myself — but even I won't spit against the wind.
Perhaps when registering in the lobby (apparently, that's where you meet, where else) you could set checkboxes like "just installed," "watched streams," "familiar with HeroesWorld rules," "longtime HeroesWorld user," plus a readme on HeroesWorld rules — simplified, in 2..3 paragraphs in large font. Then these checkboxes would show who's from where.
Good and bad player — never use such words, it's politically incorrect. And among those who play HeroesWorld, they'll figure out for themselves who's top and who's a downer (oops! incorrect again). Without that, IMO it's impossible to find an adequate player in the lobby.

Please register me for the tournament. This time I am better prepared (I rewatched all seasons of the series) :smile03:

Ivan, did you carefully read the list of templates and the rules for choosing a template?

Ivan, did you read the list of templates and the rules for choosing a template carefully?

No, I didn't read it very carefully. Anyway, it often doesn't matter. I'm just suggesting we play something decent, and most people agree.

By the way, I generated a boomerang map - it looks quite inadequate. It's just a chaotic rush to see who can run to whom unexpectedly faster. Nostalgia is good. I would take a closer look at the Cerberus template.

But as I understand it, it's important to have another L-shaped map in the list. So, I guess we'll have to play the old-fashioned way, suggesting regular templates.

Boomerang is a diamond-shaped map – on the 2nd week, the meeting takes place in one of the central treasuries. Of course, this creates a rather dispersive gameplay.

Don't stop, Alfi, delete another couple of posts; you seem to have gone a bit overboard lately :D

Yeeeeeessssssss! I want that guitar and that beard :(

People came to Alexander Grigorievich and asked:
– How long will you rule?

Please outline the permissible scope for discussion and expressing opinions according to the tournament rules. And also, please explain what decision was made regarding the FTS and why it was made.

Please outline the acceptable scope for discussions and for expressing one's opinion regarding the tournament rules. Also, clarify here — what was the decision regarding the FTS and why was it made?

The scope is broad; freedom of speech is limited only by the general rules of HeroesWorld. However, if swearing or severe off-topic behavior begins, I may move part of the discussion to the Tribune and respond there.

Regarding the FTS — in my understanding, a player who signs up for a tournament declares their desire to compete for victory within the tournament rules.

Vanya has already shown several times that publicly displaying his political stance is more important to him than the sporting result. Therefore, when he signed up for the tournament, I immediately clarified this matter with him. I thought — maybe his motivation had changed? It turned out it hadn't.

That is, there is a non-zero risk that somewhere in the playoffs he might encounter a principled opponent who insists on playing by the regulations, and Vanya would take a stand and say, "I won't play these templates, set the techs."

Therefore:

Vic, with all due respect to other players, if you don't include Ivan in the mirror-Jebus, there probably won't be a great final. I was very happy to see his application. And in general, what is the point of deliberately lowering the skill level of the player pool just to strictly follow the tournament regulations? This definitely doesn't benefit anyone. For many, especially beginner and intermediate players, the tournament might be the only chance to play against a player like FTS and, in doing so, learn how one actually can (and should) play this game and significantly improve their own skill. That is where I personally see the point.
