Alone (red, Necropolis, Tamika, Tamika) def Legionerdv (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 124

I still have 2 restarts left, and my opponent has none. I was tempted to play, effectively having a free +4 attack shield, and besides, Tamika got a defense buff almost immediately. There were fewer good moments later on. There was only one road and two paths to the opponent's secondary locations. I broke through to 49 Earth Elementals on one side, and on the other side, to 19 Fanatic Zealots on the grass... It was too late to take a restart – I went off-road towards the opponent. There, I quickly took a neutral Rampart, and the skeletons quickly increased in number in the sunlight. There were excellent prospects, but the opponent gave me the victory without a fight ;)

Thank you for the game!

*shield to attack, I said that very cleverly – a good typo)

What a stir... :) Relax, guys, I came here to play as Fiona, not to argue. So, I won't be offended by any tech issues because I understand that sooner or later I'll have to deal with them, so I'm not aiming for victory in the tournament. It's just a fan game :) Mark, by the way, is a cool guy - he didn't insist on the rules, agreed to play with the "Wait Turn" option, and chose a decent template (mini-nostalgia). It's a pity we didn't get to play.

No, Wicc, these are technical issues. I sent a private message with a poll regarding the version for the playoff participants, so that we can schedule the draw and avoid technical issues right away.
Please clarify once again which version you will be playing for the remaining part of the tournament:
1) only SoD,
2) only WT,
3) SoD or WT at the opponent's choice.
This information is necessary for the correct draw of the playoff games.
If you choose option 1) only SoD, this means that if you are matched against an opponent who only plays WT, you will be awarded a technical win.
If you choose option 2) only WT, then if you are matched against a SoD player, you will automatically be awarded a technical loss.
If you choose option 3) SoD or WT at the opponent's choice, you play on any version and cannot demand a technical result based on the version until the end of the tournament.
I didn't send a message to you and FireToSky, as I know the answer.

3) Either Shades of Darkness or The Shadow of Death, depending on the opponent's preference (if I leave the group, of course)).

Pit for LM - what is the point of all this hassle? There is a regulation that clearly defines everything. For example, what if I get a strong opponent with Inferno or Barbarian, and based on the tournament's interests, I want to play Schism of Darkness (SoD)? According to the regulations, I have that right, and my opponent with, say, Rampart, also has the full right to demand SoD in a game against Grove. All of this is a legitimate right for players to decide what is best for the situation; why are there these strange things with polls? Those who only want to play War of the Throne (WtT) shouldn't sign up for a tournament where SoD is the default. IMHO. P.S. PMs are still valid, but nevertheless...

if there is an even number of players for the team-based mode, we'll play SOD.
if there's an odd number, I'll drop out and play a tech-based match against one of the team-based players.

P.S. Please consider my vote last.

Orgi and Vikk, you guys are wrong; that’s not how things should be done. What is this tech win for Mar? Imagine if, in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, Croatia said before their last match against England, “Let’s just set up a tech win; we don’t need to go to England and freeze our butts off; we already have first place.” There are other participants in the group whose results are affected by the outcome of these “unnecessary” games. Fairly speaking, the Vikk-Mar game should be played, and if Vikk has any sense of sporting honor, he should play it with all his might. It’s strange that I have to explain such elementary things.

Imagine if, in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, Croatia, before their last match against England, said, "Let's just give them a tech win, we don't need to fly to England and freeze our butts off, we already have first place." There are other participants in the group who are affected by the outcome of these "unnecessary" games. For fairness, the Wick-Mar game should be played, and if Wick has any sporting integrity, he should play it with full effort. It's strange that I have to explain such elementary things.
The strange regulations are to blame. With 3-4 players advancing from a group of 5, such situations are almost inevitable – someone in the last round won't care about the result. Ideally, only 1-2 players should advance from the group; then, almost all key games will be played with normal motivation.

The example with England is not relevant because Croatia didn't have tournament motivation; they had personal ambitions, like, "beating the English is cool." In most cases, teams approach such matches purely formally – they conserve their strong players, avoid the risk of injuries and yellow cards in the game, and may even play with a second-string lineup, etc.

Satyr also told me that there's no point in finishing our game because he already has 4 wins, so we agreed on a draw.

If you really want to maintain the spirit of sportsmanship, let GoD play the game against Mar for me because he has the motivation. I really don't want to think, calculate, etc.; I'll definitely play carelessly, so the result won't be meaningful.

You were deceived. A draw would have given him 1st place. And in this tournament, that's much better than 2nd or 3rd.

Kostya, I don't care. :)\

I'm proceeding from the assumption that we just need to win everything and not wait for someone else to help.

Personally, the difference between 1st and 2nd place seems insignificant to me - well, so what if there are some transition games... the concept (see the previous paragraph) doesn't change.

No, I was just really curious about how you defeated Maru... And besides, it's almost love - a female avatar, and the nickname is almost Vika :D
Go back to ignoring me again =)
