Posts from 2008 World Championship for Heroes IV Online.
Dear tournament participants! The Rules have already been created, so read them, think about them, and play! :)
In general, the situation is not very good... :mad: Some players are simply ruining the tournament, which makes me very upset! There isn't much time left! Please step up!
Sincerely, Luchik!

Unfortunately, Pandora had to withdraw from the competition due to technical issues. This means that Mr. Shnurov completed the group stage without a single defeat. We congratulate him on this achievement.
Yes... unfortunately, our wonderful heroine has left the battlefield... It's a pity... :( Tanyusha, I sincerely sympathize with you; I know how much you wanted to play... oh well... Fix your modem soon – the next tournaments are just around the corner ;)
Monsieur Shnurov, I want to congratulate you on advancing to the next stage! Keep it up!:smile12:
And once again, I want to urge the other players...
Some haven't even started playing yet, and there are no explanations from them; they don't respond to emails... It's not serious, guys :mad:

Oops, it seems this also affects me. To avoid going off-topic, I invite the author of the quote to join the discussion about the championship. There, I will gladly explain what is wrong with the schedule, what the intentions were behind this particular organization, what its advantages and disadvantages are, and so on. But for starters, I recommend thinking about the topic of "an Australian versus a Latvian, or a Brazilian versus a Russian, according to the schedule." I think this might partially address some of the questions. By the way, the topic is called "dialogue with...". It's surprising that some grievances accumulate but are not expressed. That is, there is no dialogue from the beginning.
Please explain what is wrong with the schedule:) :rolleyes:
Regarding the time difference, it exists, and no one denies it. But, for example, the Brazilian didn't even respond to my email. I log in at different times, in the morning, during the day, in the evening, and at night, but somehow I'm not having any luck; no one is available. The only one who responds is Brennus Wiski. And who else should I be contacting? Again, apart from emails from Arianus and Brennus, I haven't received anything from anyone else. Of course, the schedule may not be a solution to all problems, but in my opinion, with it, we could clearly know that within these 10 days, I need to play against a specific person. And if the game doesn't take place for some reason, then the organizers decide whether the reason was valid or not, and those who have lost the desire to play can be immediately eliminated:) .
...for example, the Brazilian didn't even reply to the email. I log in at different times, in the morning, during the day, in the evening, and at night, but I'm just not having any luck; no one is available. The only one who responds is Brennus Whisky. And who else is supposed to be contacted?
No one is supposed to be contacted :) I wrote to my opponent and waited for a response – if I didn't get one, I wrote to the referee; that's enough for the referee to decide who's slacking and who wants to play :smile01: The schedule doesn't change anything; it only complicates things...
For example, I played the game with Marsel for only 2 days in a row, and with Commandant, it was exactly the same – a week later, on Saturday and Sunday. And I started the game with Brackman 3 weeks ago – we loaded the save twice, but we still haven't finished it, even though we communicate online every 3-4 days. And Argonavt hasn't even started any games. The reason is that I have a 2-hour time difference with the first 2 players, a 7-hour difference with Brackman, and Argonavt was on a business trip for the first 3 weeks after the tournament started.
What can change the game schedule? The fact that Brackman and I will have a technical draw? Should Argonavt be immediately credited with 2-3 technical losses? Although, theoretically, he can achieve these results in 2 weeks. Well, and I would have played the first 2 games anyway during the first week of the World Championship...
There is nothing particularly useful in the game schedule; it can only limit the time for games. And you can understand who wants to play and who isn't particularly interested without a game schedule. There is a results table, game reports are posted, everything is fine :)
ZYbr, thank you for not continuing where it was started.
Ruslan has essentially explained everything in the calendar. I'll add a little from myself. If there was a strict schedule of games, it wouldn't force inactive players to get in touch (this is already a proven fact), but it would prevent good, honest players from playing in the tournament. For example, Gagatek, Mordaunt, and Atos couldn't play in the first couple of weeks, and now they will try to catch up. The current system provides flexibility.
In addition, the calendar would immerse all the judges in weekly reviews of situations. We would get bogged down, looking for the guilty parties.
Unfortunately, we are suffering losses again... Argonavt has withdrawn from the tournament.
03/31/2008 (07:43 GMT +03:00) Basically, I'm dropping out of the tournament; I have no opportunity to play at all. Do what needs to be done. I agree that I've lost to everyone. My apologies to all participants.
That's a shame :( A few more people are still uncertain... I hope the rest will finish the group stage! There's not much time left until April 14th... Come on, everyone, be more active!

You can tell who wants to play and who isn't really interested without even looking at the game schedule.
Exactly!!! The people in the group who send you official messages via email in the first few days expressing their desire to play with you deserve at least some respect. I'm primarily talking about our foreign friends, my "groupmates" Druidasd and Hadrian (of course, they're not the only ones :smile26:). But the people who persistently pressured the judges before the Championship regarding the organization and details of the event, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace for a month and a half, and didn't even bother to show up for the agreed-upon game, without even informing anyone, should, in my opinion, receive a warning, followed by exclusion for a repeat of such an incident... :smile19: It's just that on the appointed day, you drop everything and wait for your opponent. When you realize that they won't show up, you think about what you could have done with that time instead of just staring at the monitor, watching the opponent's status in Hamachi or ICQ... I understand, unforeseen circumstances and all that... we're all human, there's nothing to even discuss, but it's still possible to inform about the inability to play... IMO, it's even necessary. I've gotten carried away:) Sorry, it's been bothering me ;)

Group I has finished its games, and we congratulate them. :smile20: We also congratulate Dragjen on his hard-earned second place in the group. Well done! :smile20:
Everyone should take an example from him urgently :)
In addition, Paltina has been eliminated from the tournament. No need to take an example from him :mad:
Dragjen, well done! :smile20: Congratulations! :smile27: Paltina... too bad... I really wanted to play... :smile13: It's bad when victories are achieved in this way, due to the opponent's withdrawal:(
Dragjen

The group stage of the Championship has been extended until April 28. I hope everyone will gather their strength and finish the remaining games. ;)
Also, there is a replacement in group G. Instead of Light God, Pandora will be joining the group, having withdrawn from group I due to technical issues that have now been resolved. Welcome back. Good luck. ;)

You weren't expecting an extension, were you?! :smile08: But we did it :) So, gather your thoughts, feelings, and strength, and play your games by April 28! This is the final deadline, and it will not be extended! I hope everyone will make it!
And congratulations to Pandora on continuing to participate in the World Championship!:smile12: Tanya, I'm so happy for you! Good luck and have fun! Gain experience, sunshine! :smile01: We'll battle again ;) :smile14:
