...Since the tournament is year-round and has just begun, it's impossible to objectively assess whose rights have been violated and whose have been exaggerated. The results or a comparative analysis (statistics) should be conducted after 0.6 or 1 year of gameplay.

P.S.
RebE, please explain to me, as someone who struggles to understand, what exactly you objected to with Namvan - just in plain language and without any hidden meanings - I want to understand.

Question for Namvan: how many players are actually participating in the tournament at the moment?
The host never intended to assess anyone's chances of participation since the tournament rules were announced, relying on randomness, which was also reflected in the regulations. Moreover, attention was drawn to the immutability of randomness. Fine, let it be.
But during the discussion, the regulations were significantly changed, even though they had been "carefully considered" beforehand. Never mind. Before the tournament started.
But even after the tournament started, there was a change in the rules (specifically, the tournament format) within a short period, smoothed over by the term "adjustment." But it's still a change!
I have a very negative attitude towards changing the rules during a tournament - it causes distrust, at the very least. But if there is a need to change the rules, then this should be done systematically, specifying this in the regulations, and implemented at the end of a semester, for example, or at least. Moreover, the change may be caused by certain events and should be motivated and justified. I regret the lack of transparency in this matter from the host. As well as the communication style: my specific, simple questions are called "grumbling" and "fierce attacks"

The host had refrained from assessing anyone's chances of participation since the tournament rules were announced, relying on randomness, as stated in the regulations. Moreover, the immutability of randomness was emphasized. Fine, let it be.
But during the discussion, the regulations were significantly changed, even though they had supposedly been "carefully considered" beforehand. Never mind. This happened before the tournament started.
But even after the tournament began, the rules (specifically, the tournament format) were changed within a short period, smoothed over by the term "adjustment." But it's still a change!

"Specific questions"? It seems we are speaking different languages.:smile39: Besides your ungrounded concerns, I don't see anything else. Well, never mind. I assure you that all the adjustments to the rules will only be beneficial. As the organizer, I probably know better what and how I should do in my tournament. And instead of "criticizing," you should have finished our conversation in ICQ. I asked you a simple question, but I never received an answer.

Yes, these are statements ending with a question mark. And the answers, in the style of "you're the idiot," combined with an attempt to bring personal communication into the public sphere, probably characterize the organizers as very balanced, insightful, and far-sighted. As for you, the last question you asked in ICQ was either extremely poorly worded according to the rules of the Russian language – with three semantic emphases – or intentionally so that it would be impossible to answer (it's like children in kindergarten asking questions like: "Do your friends know that you're a little idiot?").

why are you starting this circus in someone else's tournament? It seems like you take pleasure in trying to needle the organizer. All we ever see from you in this thread is that same "grumbling" and "furious attacks."

By and large, all the adjustments the organizer makes hardly affect anything, and everyone else has simply turned a blind eye to them. If I were the organizer, I would have kicked you out of the drawing pool entirely (assuming you're even in it, because I wouldn't be surprised if you just care about arguing for the sake of arguing).

By and large, all the adjustments the organizer makes have almost no effect, and you could have just turned a blind eye to them like everyone else did. If I were the organizer, I'd have kicked you out of the draw entirely (if you're even in it, though I wouldn't be surprised if you just care about arguing for argument's sake).
Oh right, bird of a feather flock together. And the key words are "almost" and "could have." That's how Hitler came to power, by the way, but just so you know. And settling scores using your methods is very Soviet-like. There it is, the rattling of authority, since we can't properly regulate the situation. As for whether I'll play here — I'm indifferent to it.

By the way, I'd like to suggest changes to the tournament rules, reducing the time allotted for a match from the moment an opponent is assigned. Currently, I believe it's a week, but I would shorten it to 3-4 days.

I'm afraid I won't show you a photo of my girlfriend... you might faint just from looking at her...
As for the main point, I don't think anyone will be able to last more than 3 rounds as king, so I don't see anything special in my suggestion.

I intend to stay on the throne until my back aches and my buttocks go numb, so I am absolutely against it. Even with a week to play, it's hard to manage other things in parallel.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that a timeframe of less than a week is simply unrealistic. There are, of course, people who can manage within 3-4 days, but they are few and far between, and even they are unlikely to consistently perform well within such a short timeframe because, as a rule, they are also participating in a couple of other tournaments with their own deadlines.
A week is the optimal timeframe because there are always at least one or two weekend days available for the game. If you play faster, that's a bonus. As I said, faster players are rewarded with a higher chance of favorable outcomes.

P.S. By the way, I almost forgot. For the future: to avoid dragging out the deadlines, always play to win! If you give an auto-loss, it doesn't mean that your opponent is now playing for a draw, as happened in the GoD vs. twaryna match. This isn't a regular season; it's the Mountain!:smile25: You should eliminate the King at any cost, and he should hold on at any cost (within the bounds of fair play, of course). And if you decide to give an auto-loss, let it be a sign of your nobility, not that your opponent now owes you something.

Show the photo, and we'll guess how long she'll last in that state given your gaming schedule.

YES, I see you're a concerned gentleman; I'll send you a photo of her in my private message later.

No one is stopping you, Amiloo, from withdrawing from the tournament:cool:
