Posts from Preparing for the "Van Kanegem" tournament. Auto-translated

Where is the organizing committee? As a representative of the tournament organizing committee, I am seriously concerned about the current situation. If possible, let's urgently start one of the three remaining stages. After the tournament and during the preparation of the regulations for 2009, please do not forget about the situation that has arisen.

No need to panic... we'll calmly complete VK9, the timing is just right. There shouldn't be any difficulties with completing VK10 – Lord Vampire won't let us down. And we'll somehow manage to fit in VK8. What can you do, it's not easy for anyone right now!

Great... I'm working in emergency mode again... :(
I'll try to get the 9th Tournament done as soon as possible, but please don't judge me too harshly... I wasn't ready for this at the moment. According to the schedule, the 9th Tournament was planned for mid-October... so please don't judge the quality of the tournament too harshly. But I'll do my best!

I hope this kind of situation won't happen again... Let's try to plan the deadlines for such important tournaments more carefully, and if problems arise that can't be resolved quickly, like the ones happening with the third game now... we'll warn other organizers in advance. Because there isn't much time left... and we'll have to shorten the tournament schedule...

Thank you for your attention, please don't judge me too harshly... Because I'm a little upset about the situation... But I have to... I just have to!

Луч, don't rush... take your time and do everything properly. If necessary, we can run the tournaments in parallel.

Unfortunately, it won't be possible to do both simultaneously... Either one of the stages will suffer... It's impossible to play at the same level in Heroes 3, Heroes 4, and Heroes 5 at the same time... We'll have to choose priorities... And if this isn't so important for some, others will have to either split their time or make a choice... This especially applies to our all-rounders who try not to miss any stage... And, by the way, I'm afraid that in this case, Heroes 9 will lose to Heroes 8 if they are held simultaneously... Another thing is that we'll have to shorten the duration of the tournaments... Which were already not very long due to the late start of the Van Kannegem tournament...
In short, what can I say now... There is a specific situation, and it needs to be resolved... So, instead of just talking about it, I'm going to prepare for the tournament...

Best regards, Luchik!

Are there really that many people who will play through all the King's Bounty games?
Let's start King's Bounty 8 when King's Bounty 9 is nearing its end and finish it a few days after King's Bounty 10 begins, and everything will be fine!
Are there really that many people who will play both King's Bounty 8 and King's Bounty 9?:confused:

Looks like you, Luch, don't quite understand the situation...

This is especially true for our universal players, who try not to miss any stage.

Who are you referring to? Romanuel played in 6 out of 7 stages... Kamikaze and Fireball played in 4, the rest even less. Roma probably won't play in the 10th stage. Don't worry about me, I won't suffer. Fireball hasn't been seen for a while. Players who primarily play Heroes of Might and Magic IV usually don't play other versions.

There won't be many people in the 9th Warlord Cup, as always... You all know that Heroes 4 isn't very popular. But if you hold the 8th and 9th Warlord Cups at the same time, 90% of people will prioritize the 8th Warlord Cup. If you've decided to take a break to solve the problems, then solve them! Start the 8th Warlord Cup after the 9th stage... or closer to its end. I just really ask you not to combine these stages. In fact, I don't advise combining any stages at all! Players aren't made of rubber; they can't handle everything at once. And let's get down to business :) And I think it's premature to talk about the start date of the 8th Warlord Cup. First, you need to solve all the problems that have accumulated in the rules. And only then decide whether the 8th Warlord Cup will start after the 9th Warlord Cup (or closer to its end) or whether it will start after the 10th Warlord Cup (or again, closer to its end). And it would also be nice to warn the organizer of the 10th Warlord Cup that his stage is coming up soon :) Not everyone checks this thread.

Apparently, you, Luch, don't quite understand the situation...

Who are you talking about? Romanuel played in 6 out of 7 stages... Kamikaze and Fireball played in 4, the rest even less. Roma probably won't play in the 10th stage. Don't worry about me; I'll be fine. Fireball hasn't been seen for a long time. Those who play Heroes 4 usually don't play other versions.

There are still more of them than you mentioned :) And I'm not just talking about Heroes 4; if everything drags on, then you'll have to combine the 10th Warlord Cup. Anyway, that's not what we're talking about right now. It's better to deal with the problems first. And then we'll see how it goes! Sincerely, Luchik!

We'll start the 8th round after the 9th stage... or closer to its end...

I'm the organizer of round 8! Whatever you say, I'll do! ;)

I won't be able to run the 10th stage. I need to find someone. The tournament should start in 10 days.

:smile05: That's a pity...

We need to find someone quickly. I hope the 10th Warlock will make it...
We'll figure something out...

I suggest we go and express our gratitude to Ilya. He's a very capable young man.

Who is Ilya? Where is he from? Does he have any experience organizing tournaments? Please provide more details.

He is also ogo-i, a mapmaking master for the fifth installment of Heroes. He helped us out in the previous tournament ;)

He is also ogo-i, a master of mapmaking for Heroes of Might and Magic V. He helped us in the previous tournament ;)

And not only that, besides the current one - Greed, he also created Ghost Hunters (his map as well):)
