For disagreeing or for not being a member of the "Phoenix Order"? I mean, if you're going to demand that punitive measures be taken, then please provide justification.

Is insulting, slandering, misspelling nicknames, trolling, and going off-topic enough?

Someone sent me a link to this topic for some reason, so I had to read it. I don't understand why all this is necessary. Just play with a mod that has password-protected saves and don't worry about anything! By the way, I remembered why I was sent the link – I'm currently playing a tournament game with Vitaly. We're playing on the mod mentioned earlier, and we don't have to think about anything other than the game itself – which is what I wish for everyone. As for cheating in tournaments, I don't understand how anyone can enjoy it, knowing that they didn't actually win. :confused:

Have I stooped to insults? Spreading slander? Misspelling nicknames? Trolling? Going off-topic? Is that enough?
Where exactly did I resort to insults?
Slander? So, stating the official position of the Arbitration Committee is considered slander. That's just wonderful =)
Did I mangle Vitalik's nickname, or whose?
If it was Vitalik's, I think he'll forgive me.
Just because I write with humor, or try to, doesn't mean I'm trolling.


PS Is it impossible to add spoilers or hidden text here?

When considering the situation, it's important to look at it not from Vigo's perspective, but from the perspective of his opponents. No one would have anything against it if it weren't for the fact that he's a banned person. Again, in casual games, it doesn't really matter if you're playing against Misha or Kolya, but if we're talking about tournaments where there's some kind of motivating factor, I'd like to see if there would be a football team that, instead of playing Liechtenstein in the quarterfinals, would want to play Brazil?

There is no evidence and no reason for a ban, as there was no trial. This is absurd!

I am a vivid example of what happens without an AK — it was shown in the last world cup, where the organizer messed up completely, couldn't handle the pressure from the players, and ended up abandoning the tournament.
Was AK on vacation at that time? What prevented you from picking up the fallen banner?

Making little lists is not a difficult task ...
Let's hold a poll.
DGM (Dubrov Greene's Syndrome) detected :smile19:

On the subject — gentlemen Vigo and Querty, they are of the "couldn't care less" breed, so they should be treated accordingly.

Guys, you were presented with something quite serious — this is not a mugging, not an attempt to bluff, not a settling of personal scores. This is a well-founded opinion of a large number of intelligent and experienced people. Therefore, you should treat it accordingly — understand the logic of the accusation, the reasons for making such a decision, and work with that. Acknowledge some faults, provide reasonable explanations for certain facts.

But instead, you're playing dumb — "it wasn't me", "I hear it from the one making the argument", etc. So instead of a reasoned discussion, we get a nervous breakdown, pressure on conscience/pity, etc. At least Vitalik takes a competent stance — he just stays silent, while you engage in some kind of moral exhibitionism.

I understand, Querty, that you need to support your own, but you should do it more cleverly — at least not deny the obvious, i.e., the existence of substantial evidence. If you had found alternative explanations for the stated facts, you would at least have been heard. If you had petitioned for a lighter punishment, you would most likely have even been listened to. But to say in all seriousness that black is white, and without providing any arguments... is everything okay with your head? :smile32:

Woke up and read 100,500 posts that were written overnight. There is absolutely no constructive feedback in the defense position. Regarding the poll, why is it even necessary? The Arbitration Committee (AK) is needed, and the AK must exist! There will always be stubborn individuals who will demand a video confirmation, a written confirmation, and even have it done in the presence of four people who will then provide written confirmation.

Look, I already said that sometimes I don't play alone! If an experienced person was standing behind my back, or two players telling me what to do and how to do it correctly, does that count as them playing? If you think so, then it's clear. I never hid this! And in ICQ, I warned that I'm, like, at Vitalik's place or something like "we're thinking about this together" or something similar.
Sometimes you don't play alone. And what are we telling you to the contrary?! Yes, YOU are NOT playing alone, which means = they are playing for you. Do you get it?
Vigo
I see, so in principle, any player who went into the darkness in a treasury and found something sweet can be accused of maphack. (Although in that game, that wasn't the case at all; I ran to Seven's hero by the flag, went in with full confidence, and it turned out he was the GG ))) So the invincible Seven just snapped because of my luck)))
Well whatever, we're just beating a dead horse.
You've stated your position. I disagree with the accusation.
To avoid creating moral clutter and not distracting the AK staff from their duties, I ask that you create a poll in this thread. After all, many players' fates were decided this way—who to ban, who to unban, etc.
Well, based on the results of the questions—whether they consider me a cheater or dishonest, whether to ban me or not, or something similar—you know better how to format the surveys. Then everything will be clear.
Invincible Sevensan??? We postponed the game with you! (1) (or maybe not with you but Vitalik). I left everything on a loser at the other end of the map (2), and you went to my neighboring resp (even though you could have taken the 4-all shield which you didn't have) (3), without even transferring control! (4) (And what if you hadn't reached it?!), then immediately sent scouting and! (without seeing the flag, as I have already checked and proven), made a move through the wilderness for one!!! click (5). And saw my loser with the meat... Cool... Lucky, yeah. Lucky five times in a row after a save? I don't believe it.
Albert@s
What is this circus? Where is it stated, and who said, that a player cannot have any help in the game??? Have you overplayed yourselves? Or underplayed—it doesn't seem like that at all)...
In Vigo's place, I would admit to repeated assistance (in any form—legitimate—without maphack) from friends and demand the presentation of official claims regarding maphack—and in case of failure to provide them—an official apology and punishment of the persons responsible in the specific situation!
P.S. Every streamer gets dozens of tips in their ears—as a lawyer, I see no difference between who can "sing" better—the renowned Vitalik sitting next to Vigo, or a dozen fans... in any case, this is one form of prompting—with the same responsibility... which there isn't and cannot be... what is not forbidden is permitted... come down from the heavens to earth!
Luckily for you, you are not in his place, and I advise you not to step into it. You are his friend, and it's quite logical that you are defending him. Just not skillfully.
RiMpel2
B100dy, why don't you take, say, 20 saves from 50 currently active players. Review them all, and estimate the average skill deviation of a specific player, and then across the forum. Because, you see, they look at saves for a couple of people trying to find maphack, but the fact that half the forum might play absolutely the same way doesn't bother anyone.
Do you want me to give you a bunch of my saves, and you can see my skill deviation?!
Albert@s
Wait, are you speaking for yourself now or for all of AK? As I understand it, all the renowned material is with Pit—which is evidenced by your words above:
"The analysis is being done for the forum, as you requested. As soon as Pit posts all the material, everyone will be able to evaluate it (if they have the strength to read and verify everything) and decide for themselves."
In a word—I conclude—specifically you have no facts—we are waiting for Pit and his "dossier"—well, I am just expressing my opinion—the game with Sevensan and Mike in no way looks like maphack—I can express my opinion, can't I?
Then a counter-question—if Vigo was silent for a month—then Pit was silent for so many years, collecting (for what purpose is unclear) facts of assistance during gameplay by third-party players (although this is not forbidden as I understand)—I feel that based on the other facts from the collected collection, we will not reach a consensus—there is no such rule—to play by a template and always lose to a stronger player!
No, you misunderstand. When another player plays for you in a tournament—that is falsification. Let's say you sign up for a tournament, and in your group, you have, say, Bubich, Maretti, Darkello, and Cheban, and Maretti comes to each of their homes and sits next to them drinking beer and telling them what to do (or maybe even plays for them entirely), you'll get 4 zeros and lowered self-esteem. Your reaction? Think about what you're saying.

For the record, I often provide transcripts of my games. From this individual (Vigo), I have NEVER seen such transcripts. A reference to weak internet or similar crap—that's all you can hear regarding this. Therefore, judging whether the map was opened, or if someone played instead of him, can only be done by saves. Just a note.

It's time for sleep now, tomorrow I will perhaps describe my opinion on all this; I've experienced this in tournament play.

See the attachment. This is for you personally. Is that enough proof?

Vigo was accused of maphacking. The Vigoboy incident was cited as evidence. And the story is simple: a father helped his son, once or twice. It's not good, of course, but it's understandable, ALTHOUGH NOT FOR EVERYONE. What does maphacking have to do with it?

Further. Vigo was accused of maphacking. The Aladdin incident was cited as evidence. This story is about a team captain who betrayed his players, a story about camaraderie and betrayal. What does maphacking have to do with it?

Let me tell you this. If I were asked, "Can Vigo maphack?" I would honestly say, "I'm sure he can't. Besides, he's not interested in it." He's a different person by nature. No one is going to try to make him an example or give him wings, but Vigo won't maphack.

Kostya, there is some truth in your words, but for a gross with 2500 rating to win a tournament against equally skilled opponents without losing a single game... And yet, Eddie won. By the way, take a look at the attachment; it's just one example of what might interest AK. But it turns out that Alexa and a number of other people are left alone, while Vigo is being targeted. Do you remember whose motto was, "Cheating against losers is not a sin"?

It's funny to read your posts. Tell me, is it true that Vigo, after organizing a prize fund of $1000, cheated everyone?
Did you look at the saves that were provided here? Did you analyze them?

Thanks, Cap :). I was the one who initiated this, even back in the quarterfinals, suggesting either playing against Silu or kicking Billy out of the tournament, or playing against him with an open map.

And I know of a few other similar stories, which are less publicized. And I also suspect some others based on indirect clues.

In my opinion, maphacking against a maphacker is not a sin. In fact, for this reason, I refused to play in the tournament finals with Britva twice because without maphacking, there is an imbalance, and with maphacking, I don't want to spoil my karma.

Did you even download the save files?

I, for one, didn't look at the save files. I downloaded them and took a look. The first save shows him catching a Swamp Thing while moving quickly. The game progresses naturally; he heads towards the secondary resource, and everything seems normal. He takes a tower and then what? There are 3 options: 1) The Barbarian camp behind the Orcs; we see a decent part of it, and as we can see, it's empty, and it's not very close. 2) An underground passage on the snow, which most likely leads to the Treasury. 3) Along the road to the underground passage, where we passed on the way to the secondary resource, there's an Inferno spawn point.
1) The Barbarian camp; there's no point in going there, it's empty. Unless it's to get access to the opponent for a rush, but it's already the end of the second week, and it's a bit far away. 2) The underground passage through the snow; it's most likely the Treasury. I'm not that good, and I'd prefer to go there in the third week with a larger army. 3) The Inferno spawn point; it's the closest, along the road. We clear out the monsters and see a wooden mine, which is most likely a shared spawn point with the opponent and is quite close.
In this game, I see a player heading directly to the secondary resource along the only road and then choosing the closest spawn point, where he encounters the opponent. What did I miss? Where does it smell like maphacking?

Mods, thanks for awarding points to user B100dy, but it's not enough. :) He's making baseless accusations against a player who either didn't use cheats or whose accusations weren't properly formulated. Vik, after reading your lengthy post, I was reminded of the old you, the one who used to write so much, but when you read it, there was nothing of substance. :(. It seems like you've improved recently, and you're now writing with facts, evidence, and conclusions. But here, it's just a lot of fluff. Reread what you wrote. Or was it written while you were drunk? You don't have a single fact or a single conclusion. Pit and NumVan, you're right, and you're doing a great job, but in my opinion, you shouldn't focus so much on the details that you miss the bigger picture and try to connect everything possible. I think you treated Vitalik unfairly; he contributed more to the Heroes community than any potential map hackers. SevenSun, if you're afraid of getting four losses, then you're not at the level where you should be competing for first place in the tournament, and your self-esteem... I think it's a bit ironic. We're not playing for cows; be more relaxed. It's just a game. :) Vigo, now only play with password-protected saves and try to stream and show how you play. Although people will still think about your "friend." So, come to Eric's meetup in Moscow and show your level. Although, in my opinion, it's not a big deal; you never seemed to be aiming for the top spots anyway.

He is groundlessly accusing a player who either didn’t receive a ban or whose accusation was not properly formulated. :

Vik, after reading your lengthy post, I remembered the old you, the one who used to write so much, but when you read it, there was nothing there. :(. It seems that recently you have improved and started writing – facts, evidence, conclusions. But here again – just a lot of words. :(
Reread what you wrote. Or was it written while you were drunk?
You have neither one fact nor one conclusion.

Pit and NumVan, you are right, and you are doing a great job, but in my opinion, you shouldn’t focus so much on the details that you miss the bigger picture and connect everything possible. I think you treated Vitalik unfairly; he brought more benefit to the Heroes community than possible map hackers.

SevenSun, if you are afraid of getting 4 losses, then you are not at the level where you can claim 1st place in the tournament, and about your self-esteem… I think ironically. We are not playing for cows, be more relaxed. It’s just a game. :

Vigo, now play only with password-protected saves and try to stream and show how you play. Although people will still think about your “friend.” So, come to Eric’s meetup in Moscow and show your level. Although, in my opinion, it’s not a big deal; you never seemed to be aiming for the top places.

If Pit releases more series for LM...
More series will be released. I would like to sort this out first.
The materials are posted in the closed section of AK. Any member of AK can post them here, but we agreed not to put everything at once, as there is too much and it is difficult to read.
Then a counter-question: if Vigo was silent for a month, then Pit has been silent for so many years, collecting (it's unclear why) facts about outside players helping with the game (although this is not prohibited, as far as I understand).
How is it not prohibited?
It is forbidden on HeroesWorld to register two accounts with one user.
If one player participates in a tournament playing under two nicknames, then this is - 2 accounts belonging to one user.

What has been published was collected back then, during the investigation into vitalic. As I already wrote, after awarding the World Championship medal to vitalic, they both disappeared from the forum. What was the point of saying anything into the void if there would be no answer?
And besides, do you think I really want to spend my time proving to Vigo what he knows better than me?

Look at the topic about Looser:
/topic/7012/
The second-to-last post:
Vigo
After some time, the defense will provide the requested information and submit an appeal.
Vigo, how long will it take for the appeal to be submitted ("some" time – this word is spelled with two Ls, not two Ps)?
Or will Looser not be rehabilitated even posthumously?
Or is this just another lie?
Are these also questions asked into the void?

Now. My Qwerty - Vigo equation doesn't add up.
A photo with a date, from the Phoenix meeting, where Vitalik was present, but Vigo wasn't, and on that day Vigo had a game.
Vigo has a certain spectrum of work that is very seasonal, and this season falls in the last month. That is, there is a lot of work during this time, simply unreal. Vigo couldn't even get away for an hour to the Phoenix meeting because he was so busy.

So, did Vigo miss the meeting because he had a game or because he was too busy?

Qwerty writes that vitalic was at the meeting and didn't help Vigo in some specific game. Which one exactly?
Judging by what was written, Vigo showed an unrealistic level in this game, after which the saves ended up with vitalic, and he wrote a report on this game, as Vigo urgently needed to go on a business trip? So, vitalic logged onto the HW website under the nickname Vigo and posted a report on behalf of Vigo, using first-person pronouns? Or did vitalic take the saves, write a report based on them, then forward the report to Vigo, and he posted it himself? The second option probably doesn't hold:
I was in a place where there was no computer or I couldn't access one.

Vigo, you started the topic, you demanded facts be presented. Here are some of the facts. Now we need your explanations. But it turns out you don't remember anything. A conversation about nothing. Why did you even start all this?
Qwerty
Here is someone playing. Streaming.
Streams appeared later. Looser failed because he didn't know what streaming was.
Vigo
The Money Tournament on HP and my relationship with Верховный and Кэч have something to do with accusations of unfair play and maphacking????!
Yes, the Tournament is a game; if you haven't fulfilled your promises, that means there was an act of unfair play.

Regarding seasonality.
StickyFingaz
I lose almost 100% of rating games, but in tournaments, I try to play as focused as possible, and the win rate is higher there.
Yes, I know your attitude towards seasonal leagues and ratings. You play many ranked games, but post reports rarely.
Vigo has a different attitude. He is interested in rated games. I already wrote that approximately half of the complaints regarding the seasonal league concern Vigo. These are unexpected postponements, incomplete games, and unconfirmed reports.
Here is an example:
/topic/8908/
After post 154, there is a deleted post.
This message was deleted by SERbGA. Reason: opponent requires description.
And the content of the post is as follows:
6.04.2012 SERbGA (Blue, random, Fortress, random, Gerwulf, Gerwulf) def Vigo (Red, random, Necropolis, random, Tamika, Tamika) 2SM4d(3) 144
Vigo, what new rules have you introduced in the seasonal league? Why wasn't the game confirmed? Why did you deceive our newbie?
If you don't give explanations again and say that you don't remember anything, then this will also be attributed to "unfair play."
Perhaps someone from your friends was nearby and giving advice!
Please provide specific nicknames.

And one more question. Where did Vitalik and you live back then (I mean which districts of Moscow), and where do you live now?

Pete wrote a lot of unnecessary text. I'm not as eloquent as you, and I don't have the time or desire to pick out accusations from all your posts. Let's have specific, numbered questions, and I'll answer the ones I deem necessary. This circus is really getting ridiculous, and I just want to tell everyone to go away. You've already brought up Vitalik, Querty, Loser, and HL in some incomprehensible way. What does all this have to do with anything?! You accused the player Vigo on this resource! Let's have the facts of the accusations, questions about the substance of the accusations, I'll answer, then people can look and express their opinions. What's the problem? Leave all this rambling nonsense in the annals and archives. Let's do it concretely: I answer.
And the fact that someone played from your computer, that you have a son, that there was some loser, etc., keep that for your personal use!
Stinger, Preds, Oxygen, Lizard, Vitalik, Aztec, DD, and other guys have all played on my computer or used my IP. Is that enough nicknames for you? Are they all my clones too?!
