Posts from Discussion of the “Knights of Honor” tournament.

Natasha, maybe you could just close the thread about the closed tournament, as a moderator.

But this is truly a tournament for friends! Some were chosen, some weren't, but what's the point of getting offended? I'm not playing in this tournament for the sake of winning or for the ranking. I just want to play. I'm sure I won't even make it into the top three, but I'm still playing. The discussion about this tournament started back in July, and those who didn't want to join then should blame themselves. I don't want to offend anyone, but they should have acted faster. IMHO.

As soon as normal players joined the tournament, they decided to exclude them by any means.

Anyone who wants to can participate here and there. Isn't that right? :)

ANYONE who wanted could apply, and I'm sure they would have been invited to the tournament, so your phrase about the "greatest will of the organizers" sounds, to put it mildly, a bit pompous.

As far as I know, no one expelled the players who joined the tournament after it started, and there is no policy here that "we don't want to include strong players in the tournament who can provide good competition." The tournament has already started and is underway...

Colleagues! I suggest we don't create a conflict. Let's calmly sort things out without emotions.
As I understand it, it was my post that caused such a sharp reaction.
First, let me remind you that I am not the organizer of the tournament. Also, I am not a moderator for the third game. In this regard, I expressed my personal opinion, and there is no need to blame the tournament organizers.
I expressed myself in this way only because that is how it is. The tournament is indeed closed. But this does not mean that you cannot apply to participate in the tournament. And the organizers will decide whether to accept this participant or not.
Personally, I advocated for some participants with the organizers. The organizers kindly added people to the list of participants.
There is no need to make monsters out of the tournament organizers. They came up with a great idea and implemented it. There are shortcomings in the saves... they happen to almost everyone. When I held a tournament for the second game, one of the best Heroes of Might and Magic 2 players in the world checked the save. I'm not exaggerating, it's really true. Well, we both reviewed one of the possible scenarios. And I came up with this scenario only in the middle of the tournament. And then it turned out that the path that we tried to make impossible was still passed by one of the participants! After that, I voluntarily resigned from the position of tournament host on another portal, but here, if a new host is not found, I will again host tournaments. Because no one is perfect.
Now, back to the problem of closed tournaments. Once, I tried to come to parks and play chess. As a rule, I was not invited to play. For various reasons: for some, I was too weak, for some, too strong, for some, I was just an outsider. And if people played without a clock, and I offered them sports rules (blitz, take-and-move, eating the king, etc.) - they ignored me.
If you come to a chess tournament with a fifteen-minute time control and say "let's play blitz" - they will say "go where they play blitz".
Different tournaments are needed, and in large numbers. There are closed and open tournaments. And that's normal.
I hope for understanding,

AlexeyPank;33074Regarding not including someone in the list, I'll give my example. I had to wait about a month before I was included after submitting applications. And at the same time, I had a personal invitation from one of the organizers. So, I suggest that those who were not included in the list write a personal letter to the organizers (as I did), and wait. I think the decision will be positive.

The PALADIN arguments started because I was absent; there's no need to blame others, go ahead and attack me... Regarding the appearance of new participants, I'm not against it, but there should be arguments in favor of their worthiness (if I see them for the first time, what opinion can I form about them? Then another tournament participant or a respected person on our forum can express their opinion about him, thereby supporting him... and the organizers will add him to the list...). I want to note that I am not a moderator and cannot make changes or additions to other messages... And with Firelord, you don't often interact, because it was his idea from the beginning, and I don't want to make decisions without his opinion...

Dear nprf, if you still have some questions, please allow me to answer them. Feel free to ask... I apologize for not being on the forum; my computer was taken away, and I couldn't access the internet... I would have responded to all requests from participants because I am a man of my word. You can blame me for not responding, but I didn't have the opportunity. Once again, I deeply apologize to you personally and to the participants....
