Posts from The Great Confrontation

I have a question: there are 8 templates, but only 7 schemes – is it possible to obtain the missing scheme (if I'm not mistaken, it's the Spider template)?

Please tell me, I downloaded IRMG and the templates. Maps are created from the templates that come with IRMG, but not from the ones downloaded separately with diagrams; it gives an error. Maybe some checkboxes need to be unchecked.

The issue of the number of groups is open for discussion, and this aspect may be adjusted as registration progresses and justified proposals are received. However, as Ice mentioned, I genuinely want to give each participant the opportunity to compete against as many players as possible. Regarding the deadlines, they will certainly be regulated, and sanctions will be applied to those who delay. In my opinion, prolonging the tournament for months because of a couple of "busy" players is, at the very least, disrespectful to all the other participants, or, if you will, a loss of interest on the part of the organizers in their own tournament. I think there's a hint here... anyway, I'm just expressing my opinion.

Maybe we can hold a championship and put everyone in one subgroup?:eek: Then we'll definitely have enough games to play, and we can start already :) At the same time, introduce a limit on games — if you haven't played, say, 3 games in a month — goodbye

To be honest, this is my pink dream, but we need to face reality: 25 games per player is too many, not because it's a lot, but because there will be dodgers and throwers, and balancing the matchups based on results will be extremely difficult. So for now, we'll stick to two groups; currently it looks like 13 people per group. By the way, 8 people from each group will advance to the final stage, so most of those who want to and have time to play will have a chance to fight in the finals as well)

I agree, perhaps such large subgroups will help determine whether the community is ready for such a long-term event:rolleyes:
And I think the second part of my proposal is quite viable - limiting it to 1 game per week is too strict, but limiting it to 3 games per month seems quite realistic, in that time you can go on vacation, go on a business trip, and still have time to play if you want ;) And I think no one doubts that there needs to be a limit, previous tournaments here and on other resources have been talking about this for a long time.

To be honest, this is my pink dream.

So, that's where the catch is:D I completely understand you; playing is a chore, but unfortunately, I can't fulfill your request:( IMO, 3 games a MONTH is a great schedule; if I wanted to, I could play three in a week, so my advice is, if you really want to play, in the breaks between the "Taiga" tournament:smile31:, try to beat:smile10: as many opponents as possible, and I'll try to help you with that;)

If I'm not mistaken, the previous tournament also had 10 days for each game, and even then, it came down to flipping a coin. Maybe we shouldn't reduce it?
Just punish those who miss 2 rounds in a row without a valid reason...:smile33:

Let's consider this situation in relation to the specific rules of the tournament. If we give 10 days per game, and considering that there will be 13-14 people in each group, we'll need to allocate 120-130 days just for the group stage, which is 4-4.5 months:eek: It's already mid-March, which means the group stage will only end at the end of July, and then there's another month and a half for the final stage, meaning we'll only finish in September. I think that's too long:eek: And it's not about my ambitious decision that doesn't require objections; it's about the fact that if the tournament, according to the official regulations, has a time frame of HALF A YEAR, I'm afraid that a good half of its participants will forget what it's called, at best, and at worst, they'll lose interest:(
