Sorry for not posting here, I've been busy.
Basically, I was planning to go with Samurai in his car, but unfortunately, he definitely said he won't be able to make it.
I really want to go, but driving alone isn't much fun for me, so tomorrow I'll start looking for train tickets. I'm not sure what will come of it, but I think it's a solvable problem. I'll let you know what I find tomorrow.
I wasn't happy to hear about the cancellation of the prize fund (participation fee). I won't go into details, but I'm saying right away that there will be huge problems with a normal attitude towards the tournament.
I'll talk to the other players now, maybe I'll find out something.
P.S. Cobra should be put against the wall and shot! :)

I forgot the most important thing – please post the rules we will be playing the tournament by. I'm especially interested in the version and templates.

Personally, I was not pleased with the information about the cancellation of the prize fund (participation fee). I won't write everything, but I'll say right away that there will be huge problems with a normal attitude towards the tournament.

Hi. Don't even think about it. :smile02:
After discussing it, we decided to just organize a fan tournament, for fun.
First of all, it's about meeting friends, and only then - about the championship.
I really want to go, but driving alone is not much fun for me, so tomorrow I will start looking for train tickets. I don't know what will come of it, but I think it's a solvable issue. I'll let you know tomorrow what I managed to find.

In my opinion, the easiest way is to go to Moscow, and from there almost every train going south passes through Michurinsk.
Now I'll talk to the guys from Baev's team, maybe I'll find out something.

PredS, Stinger... the rest are from the League, World, etc. No one else will tell you anything, because they haven't been with me.
Regarding the trip - either you want to go or you don't, if you feel like going, you go, if not, you don't. The main problem why some people can't come is, unfortunately, financial, I've already talked to many of them in private messages. It's a pity.
I forgot the most important thing - post the rules according to which we will play the tournament. I am especially interested in the version and templates.

OK, I'll try to do it tomorrow. The same as in Kyiv.

I'm leaving on Thursday afternoon by car. The lineup is still unclear. The suspects still haven't given a clear answer. If they keep causing trouble, I'll kick everyone out and take the guys from Siberia.

Eric, where can I find your phone?
Я в мечеть не за праведным словом пришёл.
Не стремясь приобщиться к основам пришёл.
В прошлый раз утащил я молитвенный коврик,
Он истерся до дыр, - я за новым пришёл.

I just went to the train station during my lunch break and talked to the ticket agents. Turns out, the trains are incredibly slow! :)\ My only option is to go through Rtishchevo, and from there, I'll need to transfer to a train to Michurinsk. So, it will take 14-15 hours to get to Rtishchevo (and there are only sleeper cars available), and another 4-5 hours from Rtishchevo to Michurinsk, plus the waiting time between trains. That means it will take me a whole day to get to Michurinsk by train. That's awful! :(\ And I absolutely have to be at work on Monday.\ So, this is my last call. The only option left is to drive. I'm willing to drive, but I need people to join me in the car. It's not about the money; I just need someone to keep me company, as I'm not familiar with this part of Russia, and the journey isn't that long (I think I can get there in about 11-12 hours).\ So, if there are any Heroes of Might and Magic fans from Nizhny Novgorod or Kazan (or anywhere closer to Cheboksary) who want to join me, I'm happy to take them. I can take a maximum of three people, as my car is not very big.\ I would appreciate it if everyone who reads this message and has friends who are Heroes of Might and Magic fans in the mentioned cities could let them know about me.\ I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

2 Doberman. Check your private messages; I wrote to you, maybe one of the options will work.

The roster has been adjusted to roughly estimate the number of players and the schedule for each round.

Two conditions were required from the players in Michurinsk: the ability to play the entire tournament, all three days, and a willingness to provide qualified competition to the guests. Many haven't played in a long time. Currently, seven players meet these criteria: Lyokha, Cannabis, Dimen, Alexgrid, Tyoma, Pavel, and Zlo.

In case of obvious difficulties, they can be replaced by fans who will be present on one of the tournament days: Lixent, Veland, Alf, and even I remember a thing or two.

Regarding the guests, we are definitely expecting Dust, Vana, Dirty, Decontaminator, Yama-Dharma, Mizrael, Scorpa, and PReDS to participate in the tournament.
In total, there are currently 15 people participating in the tournament. The participation of Stinger and Doberman is uncertain; they have some difficulties, but I still hope to see them.
Vik will be coming from St. Petersburg; I would also like to see him among the participants, and he could also be a good judge.
In the worst case, I will try to persuade one of the qualified spectators to play.

The event includes about 20 people; in my opinion, it will be a great gathering of Heroes players.
The club will be entirely at our disposal for three days; there are tables and rooms where you can have a snack between games and just hang out.

Just don't forget to write when, at what time, to which train station, and in which carriage you are arriving!!!

Got the tickets. Unfortunately, I won't be able to arrive on Friday.

I will arrive on Saturday the 26th at 12:57. The station is labeled "MICHURIN UR". Wagon number 6.

Currently, I'm 80% sure I'll make it (there are some issues with getting Friday off work, but I think I'll resolve them).
I'm 100% traveling through Moscow. I'll be in Moscow early Thursday morning. Moscow residents who are going, is it possible to join you on the way? :) If I can't join you, I'll arrive in Michurinsk on Thursday evening. I'm counting on meeting Eric in person. Eric, let me know when it's convenient for you to meet. There are many trains from Moscow to Michurinsk. I'll take the one that suits me.
Another question for Moscow residents: when are you returning? I need to catch an evening bus to Cheboksary so I can go straight to work in the morning. Therefore, I need to be in Moscow around 5:00 PM on Sunday.

2 Vic. I'll meet you in person. The train arrives at the central station, and it's a 10-15 minute walk to the club.

I'm definitely going through Moscow. I'll be in Moscow early Thursday morning. Those from Moscow who are going, can I join you on the way? If I can't join you, I'll arrive in Michurinsk on Thursday evening. I'm counting on meeting Eric in person. Eric, let me know when it's convenient for you to meet. There are many trains from Moscow to Michurinsk. I'll take the right one.

2 Doberman. As far as I know, Oxygen is driving to Michurinsk on Thursday, so the easiest thing to do is to contact him. It's 400 km from Moscow to Michurinsk, and the road seems to be good.

Also, the guys from Siberia and Yama-Dharma were planning to travel by train; they were supposed to meet in Moscow today, so you need to contact them and arrange a joint trip. I repeat, there are many trains from Moscow to the south that go to Michurinsk.

After 5 PM on Thursday, I'll arrive from Voronezh and will be ready to meet the guests. If you arrive earlier, I've given the club's coordinates in this thread (a few pages back). Wait for me there; my phone number is also in this thread.
Another question for the Muscovites - when are you returning? I need to catch the evening bus to Cheboksary so I can go straight to work in the morning. So, I need to be in Moscow around 5 PM on Sunday.

I suggest you hang out with the group on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Sunday morning, you take the train to Moscow. You'll be in Moscow by 5 PM, and on Monday, you'll be home.

Two and a half days is enough time to have fun and play games. I always went to the Tournaments in St. Petersburg for 2.5 days.
We're waiting.

We're just hanging out, playing poker, and watching football (Siberia forever!!!!!))))))

We'll make it somehow :)
Siberians are guaranteed to be there, and I'll try my best, although I can't promise anything))))

The generous oxygen is driving everyone in his smoky car – 3 seats are taken by guests from Novosibirsk, and the respectable co-chairman of the Heroes League is vying for the 4th seat, along with some other comrades :)

Respect to Vova from the Siberians – he welcomed and accommodated us; when we arrive in Michurinsk, we'll beat everyone – the Siberian team.....

We're coming to Michurinsk and will beat everyone – Team Siberia...

How can we not organize a full-fledged tournament when so many players are gathering? Decontaminator has also bought a ticket; I'll meet him.
Well done to everyone who is coming!

After that, I'll definitely come. I'll bring the biggest club and a scalping knife. :)
I've decided to travel by train from the Kazan railway station. I'll be in Michurinsk around 4:00 PM Moscow time. I'll go to the club. :) So, I won't be taking a ride with Oxygen anymore.

I'm already in Moscow, staying with a friend. Just one final push left. Everything is going according to plan.

2PReDS:
We found your phone. It's in safe hands! We're ready to return it for a reward (2 cans of Baltika No. 0) :)
After yesterday, I concluded that Baltika No. 0 is more suitable for you :D (there's a photo!).

Unless you only use it for marinating meat.

P.S. Eric, we need to figure out how we’ll coordinate, since my mobile phone is with the Siberians, and I’ll be buying my ticket at the last minute, so I won’t be able to tell you the train number.
