Might and Magic III – figured me out :)


That's my opinion. But it's even better because you can improve your gameplay faster if you have a strong opponent.


If, for example, a very strong player from another portal joins, and the organizers are aware of this, but he's relatively new to that portal, will he be allowed to participate?
Rmax, you say that a beginner isn't someone who plays poorly, but can a
newcomer to the online Heroes community, or even to the game in general, play differently?


Actually, it was just a joke, but now it's turned into a detailed, word-by-word analysis.

I'm participating.

A true newbie. Aren't you ashamed?:smile48:

Are you judging based on the number of posts? :D

Andrey, you're overcomplicating things. Several people have signed up who have played in previous "beginner" tournaments. But they didn't excel, didn't stand out, didn't make any significant impact. And they want to go through this "life school" again. Why not give them a chance to do so? If someone doesn't get into university on their first try, they aren't told: "That's it, never come back." If they don't succeed on their first attempt, they wait a year, prepare purposefully, and get in on their second try. A second chance should be given; it's perfectly normal. Viktor, and only Viktor, decides whether a player has outgrown the "beginner" status or not. And this is precisely a status, not the length of time a player has been online. Maybe they've been online for three years, but they have other things to do, and they can't play regularly, let alone watch videos or browse the forum. Personally, I wouldn't include in the tournament those who registered on the day the tournament was announced or later, as they could be clones of strong players who will crush everyone and then disappear.

I suggest that anyone with more than 40 posts should not be allowed to participate in the tournament: D
They've written so many posts, they're not exactly newcomers anymore.)

In my opinion, Rmax is still a novice because, in addition to the time spent online and on the portal, he also plays relatively weakly due to a lack of experience (for example, he may have been registered on the portal for a long time but plays infrequently due to work, family, etc.), and he plays for fun. His skill level may not improve because he doesn't have a strong desire to become better at the game, and his focus is on protecting his "front and rear" rather than on the game itself. He plays to relax and have fun (and he's not slow-witted:smile27:).

But he still has the spirit of competition. He may not be a novice online and may have already participated in tournaments, but he hasn't improved. So why shouldn't he play in the tournament again if his skill level is the same as that of "newcomers"? :smile26:

Rmax - Kinb says that he hasn't reached the level of a novice yet, while Kash says that someone has already surpassed that level. So, does being a novice also depend on the skill level, and not just the time spent on the portal and online?

Dimas, don't confuse a person's life goals and desires with sports principles. If there's a tournament for youth teams, then everyone over 21 is not allowed to participate in the World Youth Championship, regardless of whether they want to or not. There are stars in youth sports who are overwhelmingly stronger in skill than their older colleagues, and there are weak, unpromising young athletes who will never become stars. But no one will ever allow someone who participated in a youth championship at age 21 to compete there again at age 22, even if they are weak. That's a sporting principle—following the rules established by someone. If it's a tournament for novices, then there should be novices. But Victor created the tournament, and it's up to him to set the rules—I won't argue with that. I'm just reasoning about the status of the tournament based on its name, because there's no description of who is eligible and who is not.

P.S. the organizers won't allow a strong player or one who has already outgrown the novice status :smile27:

Why is there no description? There is one, right in the first post:
Requirements for participants:
1. Players who, in the organizers' opinion, have "outgrown" this tournament are not allowed to participate. That is, players who are already strong enough, including some participants from past seasons who have shown good results.
And that's all. Nothing is said about an age limit. Nothing is said about time spent on HeroesWorld. Nothing is said about not being allowed to participate a second time either. Novice is a player's status and skill. First and foremost. And only then how long they have been playing online. Remember the excellent classification of all players by KostyaN. Again, it's not for you and me to decide who the organizer will accept and who they won't, right? Maybe this Vegtam has been playing Heroes V for two years, but he's only starting to grasp Heroes III. Then he is a novice.

in the end, it will be as the organizer understands.

So, what's the point of this circus?
