CIS Club Championship 2010-2011 Auto-translated

I think we'll have a good rest)))
Snake, which carriage are you in?

Dima, #2. The dorm life is a bit of a drag, but what can you do when there aren't any decent cottages/houses available? :(

Tem, I suspect that only a very small amount of time will be spent there.

I won't comment on point 4 – Dust was clearly under some kind of influence...
I repeat, I have the warmest memories of interacting with people in Kyiv. And the city itself is wonderful. And everything went well.
It's just that Cap doesn't deserve any personal credit for it...

I generally agree! The story about the organization in Kyiv was funny :-)
And I gave Cap an angel – I thought it might soothe his ego and he would stop trolling on the forum, but it seems that this fact is now being used as a positive point to confirm his "mega-organizational abilities": D
But honestly, I don't care, as long as he doesn't cause trouble here, in the tournament thread.

Friends, we need to sort out the accommodation arrangements now. Since more people are coming for the finals than expected, we might need to arrange for people to stay in different places.
Please let me know where everyone will be staying.

Option 1 – dormitory. I will be staying there myself to be with the participants. The main advantage is that it's cheap. Considering that everyone is leaving on the 5th, it will only cost 800 rubles for 4 days. By the way, many athletes stay there; chess players, including sports masters, stayed there last month, and everything was fine. The dormitory is empty during the holidays, no one will be in the way, and they are giving us an entire wing on the 3rd floor.

Those who have chosen this option: Nagan-4, Scorp, Mizrael, Stinger, Borzoid, General Yura.

Option 2 – hotel. Yes, it's better there, but the main drawback is that it's ridiculously expensive; I checked yesterday, and it's already 1200 rubles per person per night! The rooms are double, decent, and also in the city center, with good service. But it's still too expensive.

Chosen by: Marcon.

Option 3 – Kalinin Sanatorium. On the one hand, it offers roughly the same comfort as a hotel; on the other hand, the price is 500 rubles per night. But, damn it, it's 14 kilometers from the city.
Although it's convenient for those with cars. It's worse for those without cars – a taxi costs 250 rubles, regardless of whether it's to the city or the sanatorium. And another drawback is that a lot of time will be wasted; those who stay there will lose touch with the main "Heroes" crowd, they might oversleep, and they will have to wait a long time for a taxi, etc. It's worse than the first two options, in my opinion.

Option 4 – apartments. Damn, I've gathered all the options, and I'll post them specifically on the Cobra forum so he can call himself. From what I've learned, our city is a university town; people come here either to study or to work. Therefore, they rent them out for long periods. But it's worth a try; if any of the options interest people from St. Petersburg, let them call me or write to me in private, and I'll go and check out the apartment they've chosen, and I can even pay a deposit. There aren't any apartments that can accommodate 14 people at once; we're not a resort town. There are some wealthy neighborhoods (Pole Chudes, Pole Nishchikh), but they don't let just anyone in.

Why is my opinion about rented apartments so negative? Simply because I often go to court for appeals, when everyone is crammed into one stuffy room, and by the time it's your turn, you have to listen to all sorts of nonsense. Some of the most ridiculous cases are lawsuits related to rented apartments. An unscrupulous landlord blames the tenants for breaking or stealing something or just making a mess everywhere.
The tenant, in turn, also screws over the apartment owner in various ways.
In principle, judging by my own apartment, the "Heroes" players could cause a lot of damage in five days and have problems with the owners. Besides, contracts are required – but I'll write – try it.
This option is for: Cobra.

Option 5 – free accommodation for honored guests. The girls Tanya, Oksana, and Querty's wife are coming. I would like to arrange for them to stay in the hotel for free during the tournament; I hope it will work out. The first two are well-known and respected forum members, and we will try to arrange for Querty and his wife to have the best possible accommodation, as he is one of the most well-known people on our forum.

And in general, to organize leisure activities for the guests, not only in the gaming area but, say, to take them on a tour of the science city.

We need to resolve the accommodation issues now so that, upon arrival, we immediately know where to take everyone by taxi or bus.
Bayazet, AlexTheGreat, Wicc, Napalm, Porizatel, TERM, JIOCb, Matrosoff, Rubetc, Fred, Cardinal, Horn, DR28 (Vik – please find out and let me know).

Vitalic, iDD, Yama-Dharma, Preds, Vigo, Roland from Gilead, and it seems like another person was going to come with Marcon. Guys, please let me know.

Also, please decide on the following:

Dust
Van
Merlin
Mee
Asm
911fx
Piterius
Medium
Javdet
Rebellius
Sorry for being pushy; I want all the guests to have fewer worries about accommodation upon arrival and more time for the game and relaxation.

Write to everyone in the chat beforehand (except for women). The same format was used in Rossiya, and it never caused any problems. Those for whom this issue is relevant will either ask themselves or read the forum.

I ask all guests to check the first post in this thread. I've made it easier to view the list of guests. If I missed anyone, please let me know.

I'm up for anything. But! We need a poker table for about 10 people (or we can set up several smaller ones). And, of course, somewhere to sit.
If the dorm doesn't have bedbugs, rats, or homeless people, and there's a spacious room where we can set up a poker game, then I'm all for the dorm.

Eric, thank you very much for the kind words! As far as I know, DR28's wife will also be attending. Rebellious's attendance is highly uncertain. Regarding accommodation: DR28 and his wife, as well as Qwerty and his wife, will likely be staying at the hotel. If there are any discounts, that would be great!

So, WSOP will still take place in Michurinsk...

Yeeees!)))

Regarding accommodation:

The guys from Siberia want to be as close as possible to the group, because otherwise, what's the point of traveling such distances?!..., but not so close that we have to sleep 2 hours with 5 people on one bed and then go to a club with a headache in the morning... ;) :D

If the dorm is decent and not a complete "rat hole," then we're not against a "quiet, cozy room with cockroaches," as long as we're all together :smile23:

The semi-legendary GreatGenius will travel in the same carriage as Qwerty. Therefore, the following people will disembark from the train: GreatGenius, Dust, Van, and Qwerty, all of whom will be quite agitated after the journey, along with Qwerty's spouse.

Friends, I sent a private message to many asking them to provide their full names.
To get more benefits for the tournament, we need a list. Just saying "Cobra" or "Stinger" is coming isn't enough for a non-heroic person to write down.

And this is a bonus for seating arrangements and other things...

I don't care where I live. Maybe it's better for everyone to live in a dorm; if there's space, it's both in the city and easier to get together.

P.S. Full name: Vinogradov Alexander Stanislavovich.

I'll join Uncle Horn's dorm.
