Ridmi knocked on my ICQ and, without even agreeing on anything, ran away. (By the way, I was given 4 different ICQ numbers: Ridmi - 633720188, 610127669, 603060925, 611696589, which he revealed to the Heroes players. This says something, doesn't it?)
But as I understand it, there will be many questions about the rules and regulations if he agrees (and, most importantly, starts) to play.

But the main thing is, I doubt Ridmi's honesty and whether he can keep his word. It turned out that Ridmi is just one of the players who is hiding his previous nickname from everyone except the admins (and he asks them to keep quiet).

Therefore, I suggest choosing a judge from those we both trust, and who will resolve any controversial issues.
I can suggest:
Dust, Forrest, PReDS, bayazet, Wic, SAG, Mee, StickyFingaz

This is by no means a complete list; if the candidates are not suitable, suggest your own. We will find a compromise. I can play as early as tomorrow, from 12:00 Moscow time. We need to discuss the rest.

How will he even play if there's lag?

Standard scenario for Might and Magic 6: on the first week, there are about 50 demons.

How many times have I tried to kill demons on the first week, there are always about 50 of them by day 117.

My main complaint about Readme is his empty words:

and this:

I've said many times that Readme won't make 50 units in 5 out of 10 live games on the first week, and specifically on 8mm. When asked what that amounts to in percentage terms (even roughly) — the standard for him cutting 50 demons on 8mm live — there was never an answer. My opponent believes that with his single-player save on SM he proved his point.

We agreed to a game, but my opponent got cold feet (I believe that's the case) and immediately warned that the probability of him cutting demons on the first week is 70%, and that he'd have 50 goats is also unlikely (he explained he'd monitor the tempo, play for the win, etc. In my opinion — if the draw is sweet, he'll cut; if not, the straw is laid out).

We agreed on a judge — that's Vic. I hope Yura doesn't mind.
We agreed on a time: Sunday, 24.10 at 12-00 MSK.
We play with streams — mandatory.
No experience/tax/bank, but with classes.
Best of 3. First game I play as red, map choice is mine. Haven't decided yet ).

1) shifted passages between spawns are passed without breaking through

Samurai (19:48:53 16/10/2010)
ok?

Samurai (19:49:24 16/10/2010)
2) using wings, Dimension Door, or fly, it is allowed to visit objects without clearing the guard

Samurai (19:49:25 16/10/2010)
ok?

yes yes, of course, standard mm6a rules

Each resource has its own standard rules, so I ask Vic to double-check these points with the opponent again. As I understood it, the word "standard" has its own, only-him-understood meaning for my opponent. I also ask Yura to develop a possible set of regulations and rules (taking into account what's described above) so there is something to rely on.

2) Using wings, Dimension Door, or Fly is allowed to visit locations without triggering guards.

Why can't a full-screen transmission be considered a good defense against cheating (especially if playing without saving)? Apparently, without sophisticated maphacking techniques, any attempt at unfair play is doomed to fail. Unless you watch someone else's stream.:( :(

Since when is this part of the standard? Next we'll be allowing hit-and-run soon...

Didn't I write about this? I meant watching someone else's stream. Although it might be password-protected. If we're talking about doing this from your own computer's stream, it's still impossible to do it in a way that it wouldn't be noticeable on the monitor. Maybe I'm just not understanding something.

In other words, does Mikoga allow you to get any information from the computer other than just the screenshot? I couldn't find a way to do that.
