Posts from To Vigo or not to Vigo? That is the question.

RiMpel2, I think I understand why the AC has to confer and make its decisions in closed mode. There is an absolute, complete picture based on which a decision is made. And then it starts: one person thinks he must defend some so-called honor of the clan, and spout any nonsense, including about the presumption of innocence, unwilling to open his eyes to the truth — that their comrade is rotten. Another, out of friendly motives, starts adding his own two cents. Then a couple of people appear who write about the general playerbase in broad terms. Someone considers it their duty to pick out some fact from the list and cast doubt on it, or bring up conditions under which its application is generally incorrect. And so on.

Of course, the neighbor's boy was cheating.
And can I ask in return? Where can I see your games, just games without MH?

Have you already decided on your role? :rolleyes:

Of course, I'm the one with the club and 7 speed.

Then, a counter-question: if Vigo was silent for a month, then Pete was silent for so many years, collecting (it's unclear why) facts about outside players helping during the game (although this is not prohibited, as I understand it) - based on the other facts from the collected data, I don't think we will reach a consensus - there is no such rule - to play according to a template and always lose to a stronger player!

It seems that Vigo has really upset some members of the AC.

If everyone doesn't care and they are willing to play with Vigo, Vitalik, Loser, etc.

I've always acknowledged and never hidden the fact that I sometimes received help from more experienced players!!!
One of the best players in the world sat next to me and advised me on what to do and how, suggesting things like, "You should do this first," or "Try it this way." I, in turn, considered his advice, checked it against my own judgment, did as he suggested (because he's an expert!), remembered it for the future, and in other games, I did things the way he taught me. And now, are you saying he played for me???!

If I were to play and act as someone else suggests, then even if I won, I wouldn't feel like I truly earned the victory. But for fun, it seems acceptable, let's say, for development. And if it's a tournament and someone tells you how to play, and you follow their instructions, then there's no difference at all... who's pressing the keys and mouse at that moment, you or the person sitting next to you. And I think such a game deserves a technical defeat and perhaps even a greater punishment to prevent it from happening again.

What does this have to do with anything?

But time passes, we grow up, we realize some things, we acquire new information, and only the most stubborn and short-sighted people will always insist on their point of view, even when everything indicates that they are wrong.

It doesn't sound very nice to say that. Maphacking is a delicate matter, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Do you think that everyone who thinks differently is unintelligent? And everyone who supports the Academy is probably great?

Indeed, why bother? Sometimes I don't understand myself why we're doing all this and who we're trying to help, especially since half the forum doesn't care about it. There aren't many people here anyway; they'll probably figure things out on their own, and I'll find something more interesting to do than sit here and try to convince people.
