Posts from Club championship of the CIS countries.

If Captain wants to push someone into the finals using unsportsmanlike methods, let him pay the entry fee for them, say, $100 to the prize pool and $200 to compensate for the travel expenses of those who live too far away from Kyiv. According to my calculations, with 2-3 people (Wild Card), the bracket won't be affected.

I already suggested something similar, but no one supported the idea. And Nagan insisted on a purely sporting principle.

"Captain (20:19:02 10/03/2010)
and as an organizer, I can send you... far away )))"

Organizers of open championships (and that's the status of ours) do not have the right to refuse participation to any participant "at their own whim." To refuse participation, it is necessary to present valid reasons (violation of established selection rules, the presence of doping, in our case, proven cheating). The IOC cannot simply disqualify certain athletes.

Unless, of course, there is a typo in the word "org"... ("orc"?..)

Dear residents of Independent Ukraine!!!
Do you need a foreign passport to travel to us now? Or will a Russian passport be sufficient?

For travel to Ukraine, Russian citizens do not need a foreign passport. Entry is permitted with internal Russian passports (I have already answered this question and provided a link to the website of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs). P.S. Wow, everyone seems to like my phrase from a private conversation. Do people enjoy picking on me? Can you imagine yourself in the organizer's position? When an inappropriate person arrives, and then half of the players have to deal with such a person? For example, it was difficult with Besha in Kyiv and with Matroskin in Michurinsk. And that's why, if someone is already being rude and using profanity, I believe I have the right to say that. The phrase is not an action; its purpose is to calm down such an inappropriate person. Especially if it was said privately.

3) Restricted DD (1 DD in all cases) - as in the Heroes V rules

Is this when you make a DD and end up with 0 MP?
And another question. Yura, is it possible to make the starting armies the same as in The Restoration of Erathia?

Okay, I'm being unreasonable... Thanks for pointing that out. Does everyone agree with this? Should we create a poll?

I only see one unreasonable person in this thread. He positions himself as the organizer of the final, and I sincerely feel sorry for the hero community that many of them support this unreasonable person.
Does the organizer have the right to constantly insult the participants of the final? Does everyone not care? Are they all going and hoping that they won't suffer the same fate? Knowing Navukh, I'm not sure about that.

Is that when you use Dimension Door and end up with 0 MP?

That's when you jump once a day, and then you can't anymore.

Resetting moves was in a veeeery ancient version of TE; currently, this script doesn't exist anywhere.

can it be done so that the armies are like in TE at the start?

One would need to dig through Light's source code; it can't be enabled via checkboxes.

Plus, the level of demand for this feature within this tournament is unclear — SoD players, on the contrary, consider the random starting army a virtue of SoD, while TE players will have the opportunity to play on TE/WT.

Here are a couple of facts from Kyiv: this guy resolved a conflict with the club owner when there was a chance that the owner would lose it and send everyone packing. And he resolved it successfully – even Beshu managed to stay))) I met Beshu when everyone was watching football and drinking beer. I broke up a fight. Not to mention his direct duties as an organizer – everything is fine there. I repeat, on the forum, he's a troublemaker and a scandalmonger, but in real life, he's a decent guy.

Kap and Mizrael – you are both good guys. Maybe you should smoke the peace pipe?

Guys, there's no need to confuse rhetorical techniques with genuine worldviews ;) On the other hand, any debate can remain unheeded if the opponent simply ignores it and keeps doing their own thing, without paying attention to the other person's point of view!... :) What's the point of all this? There's no disagreement here, just a misunderstanding. The debaters want the same thing – and it's not about asserting their own superiority, in my opinion – but if you ignore the details, they're actually in agreement. The methods of achieving this may be different, but when people simply don't listen to each other and don't want to listen, they won't reach an agreement, no matter what((((( Conclusion: it's important to separate the person (and especially one's subjective opinion about that person) from the cause that this person serves. And in any dispute, think about the cause, without resorting to personal attacks. That's one thing! :) And here's a little something about who will be coming from Moscow and Michurinsk, and this may also be relevant for other qualifying players: Selection is based on the available spots, as determined by the organizers: A deadline is set for when the final roster must be confirmed (probably the end of March). If top players decline, those who are next in line will be selected from the same tournament. If any of the top players don't show up due to unforeseen circumstances, without notifying the organizers in advance, then it's simple: the vacant spot(s) is/are given to players from Kyiv as a wildcard... or however they agree, it's not a big deal))))) It seems like a bonus for the city hosting the tournament, but it's definitely better than having a bracket with gaps. And it's definitely better for a strong local player to be a full participant than to be a bot....)) And it's definitely better than someone from another city being considered a backup option in case someone declines or doesn't decline, with all the uncertainty that comes with it. :)

We need to clarify one more point: for example, Keba manages to sort things out and at the end of April, he informs us that he will be able to come. What should we do with the person who was going to come instead of him – after all, this person was also dealing with their own affairs in real life, etc.?

Initially, in the first posts of the topic, I suggested that people should clearly decide whether they are coming or not to the finals. As I understand it, Keba is currently the only one who hasn't decided – whether to come or not, everyone else has made up their minds.

Perhaps, it would be worth agreeing in advance with the people who will be replacing the finalists who cannot come, so that they can sort out their real-life matters and gather funds.
Even if everyone comes, instead of 21, there will be 22, and that's fine.
But most likely, there will still be some who won't make it, so it would be worth inviting 1-2 candidates.
But this is up to the organizers – Captain and Sam – can they accommodate more people than 21?

And also – I apologize, there should be only a sporting principle in the selection of finalists. We are not playing for money, but for the idea.
As soon as wild cards start appearing, and places in the finals are bought for money, the tournament will quickly fall apart.

Keba definitely said that he won't be coming. But anything can happen in life – maybe he'll be able to make it.
Regarding wildcards – I'm also against it. One of the dads even suggested that only the top 1-3 players should come, with no replacements or backups.
But since we initially agreed that 4-5 players could potentially come, then...

The club has about 85 computers – there will be enough space for everyone.

I'm all for having a large number of participants; many good players either didn't make it through the selection process due to circumstances beyond their control, or couldn't travel to the selection event.

I'm all for inclusivity; there are many good players who, for various reasons, either didn't make it through the selection process or couldn't travel to the selection event.

I'm also in favor; if there's an opportunity to play in such a great tournament, why deny people the chance? And it's unclear why some people are so eager to ban Vitalik... Let him come; he's practically qualified.

I'm also FOR it. If there's a chance to play in such a great tournament, why deny people...? And it's unclear why some people want to ban Vitalik... Let him come, he's practically qualified...

Exactly. We'll also bring Hector and Andrei for you (living LEGENDS...).
