yes, I believe that my opinion on a particular issue in the game is definitely more important and valuable than
Complaints and arguments are just for making the game more convenient and enjoyable, because this is what attracts more people to the game, improves the level, and makes it more interesting.

I think this is your subjective opinion (as a representative of the lower-tier player class). Only those who are lucky or skilled benefit from a chess timer and a battle timer, but a novice under time pressure won't be able to think or calculate anything. I state this authoritatively.

Regarding digging up heroes and providing sound arguments, I didn't see any, so we will keep making mistakes until an argument appears "why it can't be done this way" or until there is an understanding "why it should be done this way."

This is really my first post when, during the tournament, Vic had a "wonderful" idea for the first time instead of changing the rules approved in the tournament...

Here, somehow, Vic backed down and the rule was not introduced.

Then Vic, with his "many years of experience and organizing tournaments," makes a mistake in understanding the Swiss system itself, failing to realize how it should actually work when there is an odd number of players. In an attempt to "fix" it, he introduces an additional game between Deluxe and Lizard, without paying attention to the fact that this will not fix anything, but rather make things worse. Because of his own mistake, he complicates the progress in the playoffs for 2 players who shouldn't have had subsequent games with other favorites. Here, he can no longer be convinced.

A predictable result occurs - a draw, due to the mutual destruction of two pawns. And a new round of "wonderful" changes to the regulations begins. A new round of "wonderful" changes to the regulations begins.
Here's my first rude post, according to Vic
The second one

Teasing, if it's not from me, then it doesn't bother me

Here, Vic assesses the general mental abilities of our community as a whole and its opponents in the discussion in particular

Here, nerves are slowly starting to fray, but I still don't receive answers to the questions asked

Vic's favorite trick is to pull out small pieces of phrases out of context when the overall meaning of the messages was completely different. And only messages from 2 people out of more than ten who decided to express their opinion are given, because only they at least partially supported his initiative.

Here, I have already lost even a hint of respect for a person who allows himself to treat other people's opinions so dismissively while ruining a tournament on which a considerable amount of time has been spent(this was one of the two of my posts mentioned, which, in Vic's opinion, set a new low in his many years of practice on Hero forums :D)
This is the second message that sets a new low

A great position, don't you think? That is, a person who hasn't had any gaming experience for a long time thinks that he should be given arguments.

I think this is your subjective opinion (as a representative of the near-top player class). Only those who are lucky or beginners can benefit from a chess timer or a timer in battle, as a novice under time pressure won't be able to think or calculate anything. I state this authoritatively.

Wicc doesn't come up with ideas to change the rules just for the sake of changing them. Every change has a specific goal, and Wicc believes that interfering with the regulations is justified for that goal.

Lucky tried to push the idea, "based on his authority," that the rules should not be changed during the tournament. He didn't succeed, and couldn't have, because there are no arguments for or against this position, it's purely a matter of personal taste.

But then a "miracle" happened - several players provided reasonable (in Wicc's opinion) arguments as to why the goal that Wicc had in mind for the proposed changes would not actually be achieved by those changes.

It seems that Lucky didn't understand the genesis of this "miracle" at that moment and decided that it was his arguments that had an effect. Perhaps this is what explains his persistence later on.

As for the decision, there was a choice - either lower the chances of Lizard/DeLux, or lower the chances of the group of pursuers. That is, there was no option that would satisfy all parties, it was necessary to give preference to someone.

After thinking about it, I decided that Lizard and DeLux would probably make it to the playoffs anyway, so I opted for the option of an extra game. In the end, they both made it, although Lizard did so in a convoluted way.

That is, this mistake did not affect the course of the tournament. This is the criterion I use when analyzing situations not covered by the rules - the minimum impact on the outcome of the tournament compared to its normal course.

The essence of our conflict is this - you believe that top players are higher in the hierarchy of decision-making than the host.

:smile35:
I don't even understand why I'm still responding to you, but I will anyway.

When I was a newbie, I played with a strict "1 minute per turn, 200% speed, ONLY FOR PROS!!!" approach. Nowadays, there are some strange newbies.

The host has the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament if necessary.

Please register me for the tournament.

The exaggerations have begun, Vik's standard method:smile18:
Regarding "dirty," I haven't seen Kostya abuse this rule even once, but you...

Okay, to get straight to the point, if I hadn't noticed your mistake right away, I would have told you about it as soon as I discovered it, so that you wouldn't repeat it in the future. But I definitely wouldn't try to retroactively make changes to a bunch of completed games, taking into account the draw for this mistake.

Regarding "dirty," I've never seen Kostya abuse this rule, but with you...
