Volodymyr (Castle, Stronghold) def Neoandy (Castle, Stronghold), SoD[/B]

Andryukha sent me a Castle, and I started thinking about a plan for Dungeon-Stronghold, but then I changed my mind and removed Dungeon, resulting in a mirror match.

I remembered the Papacy strategy described above and decided to use it; I liked it.

We set up, started waiting, and on the turn of the monks, I cast Bless. My Cyclops were blinded. I killed 4 Archs, and then a barrage of Bears and Birds attacked my Ogres; the bolt attack deals 400 damage. I resurrect the Ogres, and the Archs kill one of mine (I think).

In the second round, the opponent's Archs move away. Bless is cast, and it starts to hurt (the bolt attack from 35 of the opponent's Birds works again), and I even get a little scared. I cast Healing, shoot, and it gets easier.

The Archs resurrect the Crusaders. There's an attempt to finish off my Bears (the bolt attack from the Birds works again; Neo was complaining about resistances). A simple Haste is cast on the Horses (it's unclear if they would have reached anyway), which leaves a Bear with 90 health. I calmly cast Blind on the Crusaders and start shooting.

In the 4th round, the opponent's Archs are waiting. Healing is cast, and the Ogres leave 12 Cyclops, and the Crusaders leave 3 Birds. I blind the Archs, smash my Bear into the Ogres, and replace them with Archers – it's a long way to the Marksmen again. GG.

Thanks for the game!

1-0 :)

It has been 3 weeks and 2 days since Neoandy and I last played. The round time has expired. The score in the match is 1-0, in my favor. Andryukha disagrees with my win and believes that I am being unfair, even though he only suggested playing once during the entire time.
I cannot resolve the situation because I am a part of it.
There are two options: either we play until the end, which will take another 2-3 weeks, or we accept the current result.

If the Arbitration Committee can resolve this situation, I would be grateful.

In November, we started catching up on the half-year backlog in the Premier League on the Portal, plus the Cup games. There, Andres was also doing some repairs (or something), and the games dragged on. The rules of TC3 seemed to be flexible throughout the tournament. I've always believed that the live games aspect is much more valuable than sticking strictly to the rules, and I've always tried to accommodate the players in all my tournaments. If, in the semi-finals, the rules turned against me in a game, I have no desire to continue playing in such an environment. For me, it's primarily about relaxation and enjoyment.

in the group tournament, there's no need to prioritize the number of actual games played when the scores are equal – because imagine this: I have 4 wins (actual games), another participant has 3, and there's one game left between us – is there any point in me playing it?

Yesterday I poked Vladimir on ICQ and said that I had finally cleared up all the loose ends on the Portal and was ready to play TC3 with him.

Vladimir poked me when it was convenient for him, found out that I was busy, and there were no suggestions to agree on a specific day or any mentions that deadlines were pressing and we needed to finish playing by a certain date.

I won't be able to this week, something is happening in real life, I hope I can join next week.

Guys, I hope 2010 is enough time for me to wait for an opponent for the final?)))

You can play the final with two at once, whoever wins will be counted :D
I already have an advantage there ;)
