Hmm, in this case, you simply interpreted the situation in your own favor on your own, without informing either your opponent or the judges. And that is strange. It is even stranger that you subsequently had an expert terrain preview. It is even stranger that you have plenty of tutorial streams and a large amount of material dedicated specifically to the map generator. And the strangest thing of all is that you did not consider it necessary to notify your opponent of a violation that had already been revealed, even if unintentional, on your part.
Are you serious about writing to Stinger regarding a "couple of piles of gold"? In Heroes, sometimes even 10 gold coins decide the outcome... But here, next to that road, you picked up three piles of 2800 gold and a pile of gems at week 1 day 21 (and before that, at week 1 day 17, also a campfire, a pile of resources, a chest, and gold) - in a growth buyout scenario this is significant, especially since you were also trading resources there. That's the first thing. Second - you did not leave another player's respawn. After that - after picking up that "couple of piles" you took the Griffin Conservatory on another player's respawn, meaning when it had already become obvious that it was another player's respawn (and the talk about you "being foggy at 2 AM" is just childish). One could argue about where the respawn boundary lies - there are formal loopholes in the rules one could try to latch onto, but, I repeat, there is a nearby town of your own, next to which the generator clearly marked the respawn boundaries in that area - combined with the mine, that is quite sufficient, at least to stop the game and request the judges' input.
Or, in your opinion, is an unintentional (unwitting) violation not a violation, and therefore victory in similar situations is legitimate?
I took the trouble to review the recording from your side (initially I thought the Griffin Conservatory was taken first, and then the road was revealed).
Timeline. (In my subjective view)
Week 1 day 17 - the road is revealed - an obvious encroachment onto another respawn (but you were foggy), someone even wrote about another respawn in the chat. Pyre near the road, after its revelation, picks up a campfire, resources, a chest of 1000, a pile of gold of 1000.
Week 1 day 21 - three more piles of 2800 gold and a pile of gems are picked up by Pyre near the road on another player's respawn, securing the buyout before taking the big Griffin Conservatory at the main.
Week 1 day 22 - Pyre takes the Griffin Conservatory on another player's respawn (just a level 3 Griffin Conservatory). After that, terrain preview is cast, but you didn't even look at the roads of the neighboring respawn (although usually the entire map is scouted in overview - there's plenty of timer to look at everything - just in case you have to move to other respawns in the endgame...).
Of course, there's nothing to inform the opponent about...
In the end, you write the following in the AK topic: guys, I unintentionally broke the rules because I was foggy. Here, it's like "by common understanding," everything is obvious. The opponent makes a decision - either to count it as a technical loss for you, or simply nullify the result and replay the game. In a tournament, it would be a clear technical forfeit: all your manipulations after the road was revealed, starting from week 1 day 17, are violations that provided a very serious advantage (an undeniable 5 thousand plus for buyout plus the debatable level 3 Griffin Conservatory) and victory in the game.
You're wasting your time, your writing doesn't interest me. I ask again, if we don't consider the road option (where I said I broke the rules by mistake), what would happen in a tournament game if a similar situation arises? Can this point be somehow spelled out in the rules?
