loi(red,ramp,Kyrre)def Wlk777(blue,dung,Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 213
I was lagging gloomily because of real life; Kyrre just stood still about 4 times due to transmission errors, and a couple of times I only got to the computer when there were 1.5 min left...
In the treasure zone, I played without haste or slow, without tactics — in Dragon Utopia they gave me a captain's hat, obviously trash, so I decided to retreat home to refill mana and take another Dragon Utopia — if it was trash again, I'd go back to that same treasure zone and two other Dragon Utopias. They gave me a hat again, only a blue one)). At 211, carefully separating the growth, I steal the dungeon with growth. On the next turn, I bring the growth, wait, they attack... In FB — an explosion against resurrection, but 90+ grands helped; I carefully stood up with units on the corpses, victory.
Valentino was lucky here with the Dragon Utopias, alas...
Thanks for the game.

The admin uploaded the file to my email.
It contains absolutely all the save files made on all the computers where people played: 210 MB in a single RAR file – a pittance by today's standards :smile44: :smile44: :smile44: (you could even burn it onto a single CD, and there would still be a lot of extra space)))))
The problem is that I can't just give a link to it because there are unfinished games ;)
(Today, for example, Eddie tearfully asked me not to look at his save with him – the one where he was stuck on level 117 with an 8th-level hero, while Alkin was on level 10 with a Logician and Pathfinder :D :D :D)
Although, while he's finishing his game with Preds, I think I'll have time to play with someone else.... playing outside the club just doesn't seem as fun :smile21:
So, either wait a week, or dig through the archive, which I don't feel like doing right now – I'm not getting enough sleep: because of the scheduling conflicts, I even have the impression that I smoked more than I played, waiting for Eddie, who was stuck in a game with Preds, who was stuck in a game with Markov, who was playing on two computers and also with Redwait, who was playing on two computers and also with Vitalik.......... :rolleyes: But in this case, Sticky – to whom I give huge respect and kudos for this – simply didn't have enough experience for everything, after all, it was his first tournament ;)
In any case, the most important thing is: all the saves are available and will be uploaded.... I'll write my reports later :)

Well, if Vova said that Markon has already started playing against Preds... then we get the following table:
Markon, Sticky, SAG, Redwhite, and Palach are already out of the tournament, and Pitu can come to the next round sometime around lunchtime :) - waiting for Preds, Vova, and Eddie to finish playing... or he might not even need to come, he's already won anyway :)

I still think we had a great time! The atmosphere was excellent, the players were great, and they turned out to be pretty good guys too :)
And don't be too hard on Stiky! It was his debut, after all :) He'll do much better in the future!
Thanks to everyone for participating, and I was very glad to meet everyone I didn't know! :smile03:

This is the table we have:
I've tweaked the table a bit, and it's not an obvious task to arrange the played and unplayed matches in a way that everyone has the same number of games and there are no repetitions.
Here's the resulting version:
Round 1
Vitalic-Sag 0.5-0.5
Stinger-Palach 1-0
Keba-Redwhait 1-0
Pit-Sticky 1-0
Markon-Wowa 1-0
Preds-Eddi 0-0 (on save)
Round 2
Stinger-Markon 1-0
Sticky-Redwhait 1-0
Pit-Keba 1-0
Wowa-Palach 1-0
Preds-Sag 1-0
Eddi-Vitalic 1-0
Round 3
Pit-Stinger 1-0
Keba-Sticky 1-0
Vitalic-Redwhait 1-0
Preds-Markon 1-0
Eddi-Wowa 0-0 (on save)
Sag-Palach 0-0 (didn't start and probably won't be played)
Round 4
Vitalic-Palach 1-0
Redwhait-Markon 1-0
Wowa-Sag 1-0
Preds, Pit, Eddi, Keba, Stinger, Sticky are currently without a draw.
Current standings:
Pit - 3(3)
Vitalic - 2.5(4)
Preds - 2(2)
Stinger - 2(3)
Keba - 2(3)
Wowa 2(3)
Eddi - 1(1)
Sticky - 1(3)
Markon - 1(4)
Redwhait - 1(4)
Sag - 0.5 (3)
Palach - 0(3)
It makes sense to draw the remaining matches of Round 4 only after Eddi and Preds have played their postponed matches - so that the pairs are not drawn randomly, but direct competitors for the top three are paired with each other.

I checked the save files – there are many duplicates (the "games" folder wasn't clean; I'll keep that in mind for next time).
There are save files named only with one opponent – but this can be determined from the reports, which I hope will be available, and from the game time.
Today, I'll try to clean up the unnecessary files, repack them in 7z format, and upload the ones that have already been played and where both opponents are clear.
Yesterday, almost at midnight, Preds still def Markon :rolleyes:
But he has who knows how many more games with Eddie – in my opinion, this match is absolutely unjudgable; the only DD on the day makes the position very dependent on the players' decisions; any mistake by either of them threatens to upset the balance, which is already uncertain.
Therefore, I'm ready to start on the 4th day of the round, without waiting for the postponed opponent, and play with anyone ;) because it's unknown when we can even continue, and the games with Eddie on Might and Magic 6, which we are playing in a "cheesy" way, as practice has shown, tend to be long-lasting... however, everything is up to the judges :cool:

yesterday, almost midnight. Preds still hasn't decided on Markon.
that's why I'm ready to start round 4, without waiting for the opponent in the postponed match, and I'm willing to play against anyone ;) because it's unknown when we'll be able to continue, and besides, the matches with Eddie in Might and Magic 6, which we're playing, tend to be long... but it's all up to the judges :cool:
Besides, there's a downside to playing ahead of schedule: when the games are completed, one of the players might no longer have the motivation to compete. Or both players might be motivated to draw. All of this violates the spirit of sportsmanship and leads to unpredictable distortions of the final results. In other words, it stops being a competition and becomes diplomacy and collusion. No way, no way...
Ideally, the last round should only be played when the results of all previous rounds are known. That is, it might not even be played this coming weekend, but the weekend after. And this weekend, we can finish the 2 matches with Eddie.

As Vic wrote: "the draw for the rounds was quite spontaneous."
probably they thought that Eddie would finish off Preds (who is running away from Kiryu without handcuffs :) ).
and there, Palach played two games in the second round... try to figure out where to record his games.
Although, yes - it would be good to ask Sticky to take a break from the game and pay attention to the ORGANIZATION OF THE TOURNAMENT ;) - this is advice, not a reproach :)
Added 8 minutes later
he's stronger in TE.

In terms of organization, I think everything went well. The only drawback I noticed was the lack of a working version of SoD (presumably, "Schism of Darkness") on the computers when we first arrived. This led to a delay in starting the tournament by an hour or so.
On the way, I thought it would be as chaotic as the tournaments in Kingisepp (except for the last one).
However, almost everything was played on schedule, and even the multi-episode soap opera involving Eddie and Preds didn't prevent most players from playing 3 rounds, and some even managed to play a 4th.

Well, if Vova said that Markon has already started playing against Preds... then we get the following table:
Markon, Stiky, SAG, Redwhite, and Palach are already out of the tournament, and Pitu can come to the next round sometime around lunchtime :) - waiting for Preds, Vova, and Eddie to finish their games... or not even come at all, he's already made it through anyway :)
So, based on the results of our game with Eddie, we are both contenders for a match against Pitu, but Eddie still has an unresolved game against Vova. Also, Stinger and Keba are also contenders for the prizes, that's it.
Regarding the best game of the tournament, Yura, from what he saw before he left (around 7 pm on the 23rd), called our series of games with Eddie the best. I hinted that, of my games (I simply didn't have time to watch the others), the game against Markon was definitely no worse. Yura replied that, in principle, yes, but games on balanced maps are quite boring in themselves. My opinion is that the fact that we were able to play an engaging game on a balanced map is a plus in its favor.
Well, Vova promised to upload the save files of the played games - everyone who wants to can watch them.

I'm withdrawing from the tournament. -- Write to Eddie, give him a point, and let him advance to Kyiv if Predsa finishes his match;)
I waited for a clean time for a day and a half, and now I have to wait an unknown amount of time – no thanks! And if they already drew the pairings, they shouldn't have interrupted my match with Eduard just to finish the game :( I offered him many times to finish the game later, when he was free from Vitalik, or to redraw with someone else (because we definitely have a different number of rounds played))) – but to no avail :( The time already spent cannot be recovered, but wasting even more of it would be a mistake ;)
Good luck to everyone, and thanks again for the tournament! :)
