Posts from Controversial issues and their resolutions.

I can actually prove my point tomorrow, with all the save files.

Djede, I would be glad if everyone here was wrong about your unfair gameplay, but the save files that Smoke uploaded seem quite capable of proving the fact that the player using the Dungeon faction was cheating. The question is: are these save files from your game with Smoke?
I suggest a solution to this problem: if Djede was indeed playing unfairly, we can require mandatory daily save files in any game - whether it's a seasonal report or a tournament. Most of us are gentlemen, and we can forgive the girl for her violation of the rules, if it doesn't happen again in the future.

It's hardest to admit a mistake and try to fix it!

Everyone is already talking about it. I understand that the girl is still young and wanted to stand out from the crowd of men. She just needs to admit it, and that's it. I personally don't feel any antipathy at all, quite the opposite. It's clear that she's a pleasant person to talk to. Well, she got carried away... but so what. She just needs to be able to admit her mistakes and not repeat them in the future. But denying obvious facts is just silly, in my opinion!

I wasn't cheating! Make daily saves, and it won't change my game!

If I were a cheater, I wouldn't make such bold statements about using cheats and so on.

Tomorrow everything will be decided. If I’m a cheater, I should lose, but I won’t! Good night, everyone!

But seriously,

Tomorrow everything will be decided, if I'm a cheater, I should lose, but I won't!

This doesn't solve anything, it's just that, in my opinion, you need to admit it, and we will probably all forgive you, and then there will definitely be a Santa Barbara-style drama, with tears and a multi-page, friendly flood in the best traditions of Mexican soap operas...

Where does this confidence come from?

I really hope this bullying stops! Or is this how you entertain yourselves?
I think the problem can be solved without harassment, using more civilized methods. It's not the Stone Age anymore! Are you going to start throwing stones now?
If you've decided to give the girl a chance, then do it without constantly reminding her of her mistake in every line. If you've decided that there's no chance, then just exclude her from further participation in tournaments and games.
But you can't bully a person! Or do you think it makes you look good? Maybe you want a medal for it?
The authors of all subsequent posts in the spirit of "You're a cheater, get out of the forum!" will be "rewarded" with a sauna subscription.
You need to behave properly.
I repeat once again, I will not tolerate bullying and insults from anyone!

P.S. Vitaly, please leave my post for now, I'll delete it when the situation is resolved.

Katya, it seems like everyone is trying to communicate in a normal and civilized manner here (though a couple of players might get a little heated). We've all repeatedly told the girl to acknowledge her mistakes and be forgiven for everything. She doesn't seem to understand, and we're back to square one, just like in Santa Barbara.

Katya, it seems like everyone is trying to communicate in a normal and civilized manner here (well, maybe I was a bit harsh about the players). We've all repeatedly told her to acknowledge her mistakes and be forgiven for everything. She doesn't understand, and it just goes around in circles, like in Santa Barbara.

I was just about to write something similar.
It doesn't reflect well on her that she doesn't want to or can't admit her guilt...

If you decide that there's no chance here, then simply exclude them from further participation in tournaments and games.

This flood (or, as it was called, "bullying") is happening because the administration (including the coordinator) is not in a hurry to fulfill its direct responsibilities. Here's a cheater, here's their proven guilt – take measures, ban them – permanently or temporarily...
Instead, the coordinator is reprimanding, possibly excessively harsh, forms of expressing legitimate indignation. In my opinion, this is fundamentally wrong. Understand, I personally have nothing against Alina; I had pleasant conversations with her on ICQ. But! The law is strict, but it is the law.
This is a significant situation – the way we deal with this case of identified and proven cheating will be observed not only by players, especially young ones, but also by obvious and not-so-obvious cheaters. If we make concessions, many young players will think that it's okay to do so...
P.S. You here want to remain noble and clean, those of the administration who play little (I think they understand who I mean – they are smart people), you make populist moves, you pity the cheaters, and we, who play often and for long periods, have to deal with the consequences...
The lack of inevitable punishment will inevitably lead to an increase in cheating.
Here, the situation is simple and clear:
If you don't punish the cheater (or only symbolically, by wagging your finger), you punish and harass us, the honest players, who are trying to introduce a code of honor as a rule of conduct. You simply offend us. It's one or the other; there is no third option.
P.P.S. And please, don't delete posts – there are no insults here; this is my position and the position of many honest players.

What do we see? Obvious discrimination! :) If it were a guy, not a girl, there would be no discussion – he would deny it and be sent away. But here, you see, "men attacked the poor girl." Oh! If you're going to fawn over her, there's an ICQ for that... Write to her, calm her down. But understand that you're doing her a disservice. Instead of teaching her not to lie, you're actually indulging her... That's stupid. Maybe I was a bit harsh in some places, I apologize, I just don't like it when people blatantly lie.

Moderated: USE OF PROFANITY in the message

Let's smoothly transition to criticizing the administration :)

But seriously, a major problem with this forum has become apparent – the lack of a judge or another figure responsible for resolving controversial in-game situations. People are dealing with it as best they can – some are throwing stones, others are trying to defend – instead of an organized and civilized solution to the issue, it has turned into chaotic self-justice.

If you decide to give her a chance, then do so without constantly reminding her of her mistake in every line. If you've decided that there's no chance, then simply exclude her from further participation in tournaments and games.

I decided that it's not necessary to exclude her from the tournament – it's enough to pay more attention to games with her participation. Mandatory daily saves will be helpful.

I would really like the bullying to stop! Or is this how you entertain yourselves?

I think we can solve the problem without bullying, using more civilized methods. It's not the Stone Age anymore! Are you going to throw stones at her?

It's possible, but our gentlemen don't think so. Guys, I suggest you give the girl a chance and see if she can play fairly.
P.S. and in general, take it easier, it's just a game ;)

2Djede: I didn't believe it until the very end, but as they say, no comments are needed... Just understand that it's not about what happened or didn't happen; we all have our flaws... Looking at the saves, besides cheating, I saw that the troglodytes weren't upgraded to level 111, there are only 3 heroes, Shakti is wandering around in the snow with troglodytes and harpies, the level 1 units don't separate, the hero doesn't take a position to speed up the process, and so on... In my opinion, it's better to pay attention to these aspects of the game. And anyone can give themselves resources and creatures; it doesn't take much intelligence, but taking a "can-max" approach in the first week requires some effort! I don't think anyone will turn away from you after this. Personally, I would even play with you and allow you to use cheats because I don't care about the rating, but there are people who try hard when playing, and they don't want to lose several hours of gameplay.
I'm not suggesting you admit or deny anything. Just look at the screenshots and tell me:
1. Is this your game?
2. If so, where did the resources on the second screenshot come from?
