a load of 10 people in the lobby without packet loss, if it's true and not quite at the limit, I don't see any reason not to play with a SOD lobby; I agree about Diamond on HotA and 6LM on SOD.

1. Yar steals packets - there will be losses (this is a fact!).
2. Reasons to play without a SOD lobby: the main organizer has stated in advance that he will not bother with any SOD issues.
3. There have been no discussions about version templates for a long time.
4. Those who actually come will agree on any issues (they will play a game of chance to win)...
5. We're rooting for Wojciech!

Well, what can I say...?
Bubble, bubble, bubble...

I'm also for Diamond in HotA and 6LM in SoD.

Diamond, it doesn't matter, 6LM should be played in SOD.

Frisha wrote that in SOD, they play without Overload. By the way, in HotA, we will also play without Overload to avoid overloading the internet, right?

I'm for HotA (changed my mind, SoD 6LM is too drawn out).
I confirm what the clone said – the data transfer for the SoD lobby is quite small. Sometimes I had to play online using my phone if I forgot to turn off the Wi-Fi hotspot, and my phone's internet handled the entire game without any problems, even though I don't have a lot of data.

You can play HotA without a lobby, just through TCP/IP. I'll answer all your questions live because I don't have the energy, desire, or time to write everything out here. Merlin's comment on the first post is constructive; I'll fix it today (better late than never). Dirty's comment about the diamond template in SOD is also noted, and he's absolutely right. But we'll be playing HotA because even in HotA, Ural showed that this template takes 10-12 hours to play. In SOD, it takes almost twice as long, so SOD = diamond, HotA = 6lm10a.

Maybe it would be better to set both SOD and Hota to 6lm10a (forget about Diamond). For some reason, I'm sure that many will exclude Diamond on SOD, but if they exclude 6lm10a on Hota, there's a chance we'll see 6lm10a on SOD.

Freeman has already identified the key criterion for selecting "template-version" pairs – the time it takes to complete them.

In Georgia, a bot won't be able to steal packets, as everything there is encrypted in Georgian!

Updated the first post, added information about the venue and answers to many questions.

We will only have one laptop, not two. There were some issues with the first one at the last moment (no, I didn't break it).
