Posts from 1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

Sent the save file. Please confirm.

I haven't received the save file yet.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Damn, I need to sit down and finish it tomorrow… I didn’t want to leave it for the last day, but it turned out that way, as always.

After day 31 (BUT ONLY AFTER 31), I suggest the following: a participant questionnaire:

1) Did you enjoy the tournament (yes/no)?
(sub-question) How much did you enjoy it, and will you participate in it again next year?
2) How do you think you performed in the tournament (map completion)? (weakly/strongly, etc.)
3) Did you kill the Admin, or did you choose the Chaos Dragon (CD)? (one of the two, or maybe both?)
4) What was the most difficult part of the map? (CD/Admin, etc.)
5) How many times did you replay the map? (number)
6) Are there any flaws in the map? (if yes, what are they?)
7) Did you like the SURPRISE from VDV?
8) Was it easy for you to deal with it (the surprise)?
9) What is your difficulty level for completing the map (NORMAL/IMPOSSIBLE)?
9) Did you do any preliminary map reconnaissance in the editor (and were you successful?)
10) What is your estimated (in your opinion) place in the tournament (1, 2, 3, etc.)?
11) How many months, weeks, days did it take you to complete the map (XX_XX_XX)?
12) How much could you improve your result (if you extended the save submission deadline)?
13) Would they extend it? (yes/no) 0))))
14) Who do you think was stronger, HACKER or MAGNUS?
15) Who did you decide to kill first? (Magnus, Hacker)
16) On what week (approximately) or month did you defeat Magnus?
17) On what week (approximately) or month did you defeat Hacker?
18) Activity of the other heroes (for example, many infiltrators, etc.)
19) How did you complete the map (by collecting artifacts or by eliminating all the heroes)?
20) Did you leave any of the heroes alive (if you completed the map by collecting artifacts, you don't have this question)?
21) Number of Chaos Dragons on the water?
22) Which spell was most useful to you? (name)
23) Which skill was most useful to you? (name)
24) YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT

Sincerely, RAP
P.S. If something is wrong, it can be corrected...)

Where can I find information about upcoming tournaments and their schedules?

After the 31st, I suggest the following: a participant questionnaire:
...............................................................
Best regards, RAP

I am already finishing my walkthrough. I will include such a questionnaire at the end.

Well, I think that’s all. I’ve prepared the final save and a description spanning 5 pages. I don’t have any more energy. I was torn between work, sports, and the game. I was just kidding about the game – there’s always room for it. The main thing is to overcome laziness. And that’s not easy at all. Whether I’m satisfied with the result, I don’t know yet, since this is my first tournament, and it’s difficult to compare myself to others, especially since the forum is closed until the results are announced.
Lastly, I wish everyone perseverance and good luck. This tournament cannot be overcome without them (my personal feeling):smile33:.

I prepared the final save and a description spanning 5 pages. I have no more energy.

My walkthrough description took 11 pages in Word, font size 12 :smile33:. I only finished it today.

Offline differs from online in that the player has the opportunity to plan their map walkthrough tactics in advance, and then try to implement all their ideas...

I think you are wrong after all!!!!! 9 out of 10???? I'm probably the one tenth who has never looked at the map!!!!! In my opinion, it's actually better not to show the map!!!! Let the maniacs enter some codes !!! and let them waste their time on the map walkthrough!!!! I have never used this and never will!!!! I played by trial and error!!! And let me be in last place!!!! I don't care!!!!!!

I only want one thing!!!!! for the winner to post a daily save!!!! so that everyone could check and be convinced of its strength!!!! I think everyone will agree with me!!!!!!

Play online by trial and error... But offline mode is created so that you can die, but explore everything on the map and complete a well-known map as quickly as possible!... So there's nothing to complain about... "If you don't like it, don't eat it!" No one is to blame for the fact that you didn't look at the map.... It was posted for everyone!!! If it had been sent to only a few people by email, then you could complain, but as it is, the claims are unfounded!!! And the fact that you didn't think to study it is YOUR PERSONAL DIFFICULTY!!! So don't start complaining now.... And by the way, the organizers are not in better conditions, but in absolutely the same ones! If you think that the fact that they were the first to have the opportunity to see the final version of the map is a big advantage, and you feel disadvantaged because of this, let's hold a competition where the first places are only among the last players on the list... They had the least amount of time, but they are not complaining!!! (Sorry for the rudeness.... emotions are running high...)

2 VDV_Forever... If you still don't defend your Walkthrough, then please don't defend mine either!!! What's the point of having a place in the tournament if Walkthroughs are not taken into account? What's the point of, for example, first place if you know that someone completed it faster?... This is not a "noble act," as Moza said... It's just a decline in the SPIRIT of the tournament!!! I don't need a place like that.... I'm saying this because... - I'm saying that if you try not to take me into account!!!! :smile19: :smile19: :smile19: :smile19: :smile19:

Hello to all forum members!
Not many saves have been sent in; either many of you couldn't handle the map, or VDV_FOREVER's new year will start with a pile of unread emails.
2 Raper What are you saying about an advantage?! I'd like to see you in the role of the organizer. The map was presented to everyone, and moreover, there was plenty of time to study it properly. And questions regarding the organizers' participation have come up more than once already—how many times do we have to go over this?
2 Мазай I have a feeling that you prepared an excuse for yourself in your last post, or did it just seem that way to me? Well, you didn't look at the map; that's your business. Maybe you didn't even take Pandora's box, because something seems off with diplomacy and slowing as well? It's much harder without them.
P.S.
I am looking forward to the results; I hope there will be as many saves as possible. And finally, Happy New Year everyone! I wish all tournament participants, and simply forum members, luck and success.

Dear VDV_forever! I have sent the final save file with the walkthrough. If possible, please confirm receipt. Those who haven't sent their save files should hurry. Time is running out!

CrasH: Sorry if I seemed a bit rude! I was just expressing my opinion! And I really am a newbie in Heroes, I didn't even know you could view the map in the editor! Well, you learn from your mistakes! I'll improve my knowledge and skills! You have to start somewhere! And nobody should be offended by me! I'm a good guy! Hehe.

2. And also! Of course, all saves should participate, and VDV_forever should too! This is a Competitive event! And there should be no exceptions to the rules! I'm all for it! It will give us something to strive for!

3. I forgot to ask, will the days each save was completed be recorded in the table?

4. And now I've thought about it and I'm worried! If VDV_forever gets all the saves, he'll see who completes it at what speed! And he'll strive to complete it faster, i.e., to beat the fastest! So he shouldn't participate! Or he should upload his save first! Then it's okay! But what guarantee is there that he won't replace it later? He's the admin! ... And the results shouldn't be revealed until the Tournaments are over!

5. Weighing all the pros and cons, I've come to the conclusion! That, in principle, the admin can upload his save first and then hope for his honesty that he won't replace it! And I think he's honest! I also served in the Airborne Forces! Hehe, although I don't know about him! But I'm 100% sure that if he takes first place, many will doubt his honesty! And from this comes the MORAL - IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR ADMINS (i.e., JUDGES) TO PARTICIPATE IN COMPETITIVE EVENTS! As much as it may offend, it should be this way! And that's the law! I don't want to offend VDV_forever in any way; he deserves a monument while he's still alive for organizing these Tournaments! And he's far above that miserable certificate for first place! He doesn't need it! It's us who should give him certificates! With respect and reverence... MOZAI!

VDV_forever!

Before the results are announced, I wanted to thank you for the excellent organization of the tournament and the outstanding map selection. It truly deserves attention. I know a thing or two about this! I got a lot of enjoyment out of it! I think I'm not the only one with these impressions. I'm very busy, but I found time for the tournament and I don't regret it. I'll be with you at the next tournament like this one. Good luck!

I can imagine how VDV_forever is sweating over our save files right now!

4. And now I thought about it and got worried!!! What if VDV_forever gets all the save files, won't he see who completes the game at what speed?! And won't he strive for a faster completion time! i.e., to beat the fastest player!!!!

According to you, he has now received all the save files and has nothing else to do but strive to "beat the fastest":confused::confused::confused:
He doesn't even have time to check ALL the save files:eek::eek::eek:
I'm sure he has already completed everything and NATURALLY should participate in the overall standings... :smile13:

Dear Tournament Participants!

2006 is coming to an end, and with it, our tournament.

I want to wish you all great happiness, health, and tremendous success in your work and endeavors! ;)

I would also like to congratulate everyone who managed to complete this long and rather challenging tournament and submitted their final save files.:smile20:

I really hope there will be even more, there is still time...

Dear Mazai, I am sure that your opinion will definitely change when you participate in a few more tournaments (regarding scouting and other aspects).

To be honest, I simply didn't have enough time to do scouting at a high level, so I missed a lot of things, but we'll talk about that after the tournament!

Regarding replays...
I have a habit of NOT replaying tournaments, which many users know. And I also don't have enough time.

As for substitutions and other things... firstly, it's unrealistic, I hope I don't need to explain why?
Secondly, after the preliminary results are announced, I think these questions will disappear on their own..

Regarding the VDV, you are mistaken about my humble person...
It's simple: VDV - Vedenev Dmitry Vladimirovich

Regarding the results, checks:

Most likely, I won't be able to check all the save files before 01.01.07, but nevertheless, I promise you that

the preliminary results will most likely be available tomorrow! (I am already working on this, for several days now).:smile03:

P.S. And to eliminate any remaining questions, I will provide a detailed description of my playthrough.

Sincerely, VDV_forever
