Yeah. If someone expresses an opinion that goes against the views of these godlike, unbelievably skilled players, they start a friendly bullying campaign, even if it's not directly related to what the person said, but mostly just something like "you should play first, and then talk..." It's not cool.

Kyiv, USSR Championship, way back in 1964, a game between Tal and Evgeny Vasyukov. "A very complex position was developing," Mikhail later recalled, "in which I was going to sacrifice a knight... Thoughts were piling up on each other... The infamous 'tree of variations,' from which coaches recommend pruning branch by branch, was growing at an incredible rate. And suddenly... I remembered the lines of Korney Chukovsky: 'Oh, it's not an easy job - to pull a hippopotamus out of the swamp.'

Tal seriously and for a long time pondered not the position on the board, but the task of Chukovsky, recalling everything he knew about jacks, levers, helicopters, and even a rope ladder for lifting two or three tons of living cargo. 'And after much deliberation,' he later laughed at himself, 'I couldn't find a single way to pull the hippopotamus out of the swamp and angrily thought: 'Well, let it sink!''

Only after that did Tal return to the board with his thoughts. He didn't refrain from sacrificing the knight, which promised an interesting game. The next day, all the newspapers wrote that Mikhail Tal, after forty minutes of careful consideration of the position, made an elegant, precisely calculated sacrifice...

Kash, in reality, SergeyY's behavior and words in this thread shouldn't have any impact on the situation in the tournament you're running, and even less should they serve as justification for the decision you made.

Secondly, maybe Stinger is a god or demigod to you, or whatever... But I don't know him, and I have no intention of feeling any awe when I hear the word "Stinger."

Message from SergeyY
How many times have I played as the Dungeon in SoD with people, and NOT ONCE did I encounter a Dungeon player with 3 stacks of troglodytes. But with one stack, it happens more often than with two. That's why I got disappointed in both the Dungeon and SoD.

It doesn't matter that people might bully them in real life, like at school, on Instagram, or in the army...

But, in my opinion, shouldn't you respect the traditions and feelings of us, a significant part of the Heroes community?

Of course not. It's just that Sergey annoyed me so much with his pointless argument that I couldn't resist making a jab at him. I apologize, it didn't come out very well :) I won't do it again.
We shouldn't put down the guy, he didn't do anything that bad.
And it doesn't matter that people like him are often bullied in real life, in school, on Instagram, in the army... But we won't do that. We'll be good guys.

Allow me to share my opinion. (I'm not nitpicking words, but I've wanted to say this many times in real life, but I doubt anyone would understand.) No one should respect anyone!!!!!! But everyone should treat others with respect, even if they don't respect them. I've always been annoyed by phrases like "Do you respect me?", "You have to respect your elders," "He should respect..." and so on. Respect is a feeling, and how can you be obligated to feel it? How can you force someone to feel respect for someone else? How can you demand it? I especially hate it when someone asks someone else, "Do you respect me or not?". What if they don't... And then the person asking is provoking the other person to either lie or hurt their feelings. Who would want to know that they are not respected? Maybe someone should be obligated to love someone else?! But everyone should treat each other with respect.

To everyone. I understand that everyone is outraged by SergeyY's words, but why are you all ganging up on the newbie? We all know who Stinger is, but he doesn't. Wouldn't it be easier to explain to him in a few words that Stinger is famous for more than just that raid on the Treasury with 16 elves? And to describe that situation in a little more detail. But instead, you're all ganging up on the guy... It's just not right.

I wasn't in the army, but as far as I remember, no one was bullied at school (I probably studied there for at least 5 years) or in college. They must have been the wrong schools :)

What caused the return of the avatar? This one, by the way, is cooler.

Heh, I'd like to see your reaction if a newbie wrote something similar about Lion Star.

But everyone MUST treat other people with respect, even if they don't respect them.

But, IMHO, do you HAVE to treat traditions and the feelings of us, a significant part of the Heroes community, with respect?

No one should respect anyone!!!!!! But everyone should behave respectfully towards other people, even if they don't respect them.

Otherwise, they immediately start bullying the guy as a group... It's just not right.

wow, are there only two reasonable people on the entire forum?

Everyone should treat others with respect.

"if a person, NOT SEEING what is in the treasure zone, went in there with 16 grand elves — then he acted either absolutely STUPIDLY, or he probably did know what exactly he was going in there for. For example, by using maphack. "

When I told Forrest what was meant — about a person who DOES NOT KNOW (has not revealed that spot on the map) what is in the treasure zone, Forrest replies that "he thought it should be obvious to me that a strong player would not go into a treasure zone with such an army WITHOUT KNOWING what is there, i.e., without first uncovering the map." That is, Forrest HIMSELF indirectly agrees WITH MY OWN statement, when I said I meant a person who has not revealed the treasure zone and goes there with 16 elves! (And I simply understood that previous message as meaning the person supposedly did not know what was there, went in with elves, and then got such a lucky break.)
