I'd be happy to play. My nickname is Unicorn, ICQ 222776219.
The only thing is that I won't be home for 3-5 days at the beginning of next week, but otherwise, I'll be online after 8 PM Moscow time.

If possible, I'd like to participate too. I pledge to respond responsibly to anything related to participating in the tournament, which is what I ask of others in advance. 442018688

I hope this was a joke :) . If you're also a newbie, who's the veteran then :D?

Wlk777 - you're on fire.
Well, yes, if you think about it, I've beaten quite a few strong players at least once in a fair and interesting match, so I guess I'm not a newbie anymore. I'm withdrawing from the tournament then ;)

You mentioned something about a beginner level, and I started to have doubts. The thing is, I really consider myself a beginner because I don't have much experience playing, and I've only played online for less than a year, mostly actively this winter, and otherwise, I rarely show up. On the other hand, I've also beaten several top players, which can often be attributed to luck, and sometimes I've even given away matches that I was clearly winning...:smile32: I just haven't excelled in tournaments, so where else would I start if not with beginners? :)
Added after 1 hour 36 minutes I didn't want to mislead anyone, honestly! :smile09: I just mean that "for beginners" means no pros, i.e., a place where "pros" don't play. It's nice to think that I'm already a pretty good player! :smile17:
But seriously, I wish the guys good luck and hope they gain some experience! I'm withdrawing my candidacy.

Dear friends, what kind of mess is going on here?! Everything, as you can see, is mixed up in the Oblonsky household. People sign up, then immediately withdraw... you're just bothering the organizers for no reason. Cash, you should have immediately explained things to them; otherwise, they first send links in private, saying, "Come on, join us, we're waiting," and now they're asking, "What the heck are you doing here?!" Here, only beginners are hitting each other on the head with clubs, and you experienced players have nothing to do. So, who will teach them how to wield a club properly? Who will teach them how to attack, how to defend? In my opinion, the presence of experienced players is essential. Otherwise, the tournament will pass, and no one will learn anything. Maybe they (the beginners) would be interested to know why 6 minutes are allotted for a turn, and not at least 4, when even 2 minutes would be enough. The secret lies in those "extra" minutes. Only when you learn to use the time allotted for your turn and the resources provided by the generator effectively will you truly master the game. Absolute mastery is a red rush on level 111. The signal has been given, so go for it. I won't withdraw from the tournament, on principle!!

Here, beginners only beat each other over the head with clubs, and there's nothing for you seasoned mid-level players to do.
The tournament is designed for beginners, so that beginners compete among themselves, and don't just get beaten by mid-level and pro players. There are other tournaments in which both beginners and experienced players participate. And the fact that you, esteemed Blacpoint, claim this is the same as putting Barcelona and a local football team in the same tournament.

Let's create a classification for newcomers: green newbie, pioneer, just a newbie, experienced newbie, real newbie, unreal cool newbie, and ULTIMATE NEWBIE. If a person still wants to participate in a tournament after being publicly accused of being experienced and skilled, let them play. This only speaks to their fighting spirit and their support for the Tournament's ideals. PS I just want the Tournament to start and proceed without violating point 9.

I admit my guilt. I suggest that the community pour a bucket of slop over my head and think about what to do in this situation.
My opinion is this. If a person wanted to play and was given permission, then you can't kick him out against his will. If he wants to play, let him play. It will be even more frustrating for him not to take 1st place, and there are talented players here who can give a good fight. I believe that there is no precedent here. If they had included Aldehir, it would have been more fun :D
P.S.: And I did warn that the newbie criterion should be :smile42:

There's no need to blame yourself for everything. It's the first time you're organizing a tournament; you don't know everyone yet, and you're not aware of all the nuances, so mistakes are inevitable. So, don't get hung up on it.
Point two.
So, who will teach them how to wield a club? Who will teach them how to attack, how to defend?
I apologize, but this is complete nonsense. The game itself won't teach you anything. Learning to play is about understanding all the nuances, asking for advice, reviewing replays, and again asking, "Why is it like this?" or "What's the best way to do it?" Playing against a strong opponent (the game itself!) won't teach you anything; only analyzing that game will. But, as you understand, you can analyze games that aren't your own, and the effect will be the same. The only thing is that it adds concentration, but that's more of a psychological aspect.
This is just my opinion.
Maybe they (the newcomers) would be interested to know why 6 minutes are allotted for a turn, and not at least 4, when even 2 minutes is enough. The secret lies in those "extra" minutes. Only when you learn to use the time allotted for your turn and the resources provided by the generator wisely will you achieve mastery.
Here's a good example. This knowledge will be gained by studying the "materials" of a specific game and the comments of more experienced players.
Let's create a classification of newcomers: green newcomer, pioneer, just a newcomer, experienced newcomer, real newcomer, unreal cool newcomer, and ULTIMATE NEWCOMER.
Let's not put labels on people. It's enough for your committee (I forgot the full name: o) to create a conditional gradation, and that's it. The rest will be learned over time, on the battlefield :)
But in general, if a person wants to and has already been registered, then let them play. After all, no one will receive 500 bucks for winning here: rolleyes: :D
P.S. Why are the "tier 3" players so loud? :rolleyes: :)

I'm really curious! What can you possibly do in 6 minutes?! Also, I'd be interested to know how you can wipe out several Hives and Confluxes with a starting army in the first week and then attack the Utopia on day 121...
