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

Kilgor, I understand, but your claims in this matter are of little interest to anyone – just like the accusations about maphacking. Please don't clutter the thread. I've made a specific proposal to the administration. Further arguing will only lead to negativity. An opinion poll is a decent solution; the forum will decide this issue, and everyone will be satisfied with the result (even a negative result is still a result). They'll move on and stop criticizing and just watch Jobus' streams!

b) This is happening in real life, and if my physical and moral qualities allow me to do so, then why not?

"Dmitry Medvedev: Do you think that if a person is publicly shamed on television, they should be immediately imprisoned?"
"Dmitry Medvedev: In fact, I would like to bring everyone back to the legal framework. I believe that no one has abolished the presumption of innocence."
"Dmitry Medvedev: An investigation is underway; let it sort things out, establish the objective truth in the case, bearing in mind that, ultimately, the decision or the final determination of who is guilty and who is not guilty is made not by the investigation, as is known, but by the court. The investigation is only one side in the process. There is also the defense. Therefore, the prosecution and the defense must present their arguments.
...all of this must be determined by the investigation, carefully analyzed, and presented to the court, both with regard to all the individuals involved in the case who are currently being investigated, and with regard to other individuals. Until this is done, he and other individuals are presumed innocent; I would ask you not to forget this."

Please ask a specific question! Otherwise, my eyes are getting tired from all the posts.

don't get worked up — you had nothing to do with this tournament; this matter has long been known in certain circles and is closed. If you really have a desire to find out something about this — maybe you should meet with Vigo and settle it face to face. What do you think?

Several people are asking you questions - me, SevenSan, Kilgore. Direct questions. You didn't answer any of them. :smile32:

I've answered all your questions.
Regarding Seven, I was answering that I actually got lucky; as for the maphack — give me a save and I'll show you the flag I was heading straight for. Kilgor — I have no idea who that is or what they're about; maybe we can have some tea together and figure it out.

Next question: Has it ever happened that someone else played in Heroes 3 tournaments for you — specifically, actually played on your behalf, with your consent?

It did. Some of my comrades might have made a few moves while I stepped away and didn't manage to return and move in time. This was with my consent.

Message from Sir Gorbik
As it turns out, the obligations for this tournament have still not been fulfilled. Well, consider that I personally was scammed out of 1000 USD. Thanks to the team members who will help resolve this problem.
Sir Vigo's application is blocked. Write to me; I will urgently pay out the prizes.
Sorry for the delay.
I hope for your understanding.

Message from Catch
...Vitalik ran tournaments, Lady Asha managed the rating and handled the rules...
But not everything was so simple. Literally after a couple or three months, I began to doubt Vitalik. Specifically him, rather than the correctness of the decision to support his candidacy. Suddenly, Vigo appeared in the Magistrate. He got in there through Vitalik's protection, and he won over the High one by promising to run a tournament with a larger prize pool. I will not say what else he used to win Gorbik over, or why Vigo, without running a single tournament and having only one scandalous tournament behind him, stayed in the Magistrate for another year after it ended. Immediately after the opening of the tournament, both I and Gorbik received warnings that the tournament would be fake, would lower the Portal's authority in the heroes' world, and the money simply wouldn't be paid. I forwarded these messages to the High one, but... And then it actually started... I think many remember what was going on there. Disgusting judging, deleting posts, banning players. Moreover, this happened in most cases in games where either Vigo himself or Vitalik participated...
...............
...And here I am shocked for the third time... Just at the moment when the prize winners of that ill-fated tournament start posting on Bay and our Portal about receiving their prizes, Gorbik writes to me. Oleg, so and so, Vitalik contacted me and says that he also didn't receive his 200 dollar prize from Vigo. And he writes, I need them paid too. I was simply in shock.

So, does that mean there's no need to argue your viewpoints? Then why, in reality, do people not understand why you're picking on the 1000-point limit? It's an interesting position.

Yes, it happened. One of my friends could make a few moves while I was away and didn't have time to return and play. This was with my consent.

Who was it? Niki.

5) Regarding the game with Sevansan.

1. Why did you go without scouting randomly and move turn by turn?
2. Why didn't you take the Shield of the All (even though, as an obviously strong player, you would have done so instead of running into the darkness without scouting)?
3. Why did you deviate from the road (and very quickly, and only for 1 turn!), even though the flag was not visible from the road!!! Or do you have a microscope with +500 zoom on your eyes?
4. You showed a very strong game in the first week. How, with your skill (4), did you manage to surpass yourself and come in second with 18 archers?
5. You've already been asked about sending your Utopia into the darkness - there's no answer. You were just lucky, right.

Answer clearly. And not with "I was lucky" and so on.

Vigo, from now on, only play with password-protected save files and try to stream and show how you play. Although people will still suspect your "friend." Therefore, attend Eric's gathering in Moscow and demonstrate your skill. Although, in my opinion, this is pointless; you never seemed to be aiming for the top spots anyway.

Dear participants, there's some chaos happening in this thread. Shouting and arguing won't achieve anything. For a dialogue to take place in this thread, only posts from Vigo and members of the AK should be allowed. All further posts from other participants will be deleted without exception.

Regarding the matter at hand, all this discussion spanning 17 pages can actually be resolved in 2 seconds.
The accusation against the AK is that Vigo himself plays very poorly, and in tournaments, he displays a style of play that is not typical for him. How can this be verified? Very simply. CAP suggested a solution:

And I would suggest the following. During a tournament at the club, Vigo is given one of the save files that is being questioned. He sits down and plays it up to level 117. Based on the results of level 117, it will be clear whether Vigo's level corresponds to what was shown online. The task is not to replicate the setup, but to check his skill level. I think everyone will agree that if he uses Angels in his castle online, but uses Knights in his fortress at the club, this cannot be attributed to any factors.

Vitya, do you agree to this? If you prove yourself, I will personally come to Moscow and shake your hand!

But out of respect for you, while our monsters are tearing each other apart, we will definitely play a game with you! Or you can just load whatever you want!

Anyway, "Castet" is just a side issue! We'll see each other at the Tournament and talk!
