The game has been delayed for a week now, and the deafening silence "in the air," after statements that there was still plenty of time, clearly suggests that people are simply not very eager to play.

I have no complaints about the organizers. After all, they are the judges. But it's unpleasant to read such unfriendly comments about the game from finalists and other players.

At the time you noticed this, there was still plenty of time, which is why that comment was made. Later, there was no opportunity to finish the series, so the deadline was not met.

Punish! By flipping a coin :D

Coin – into battle!

In the JustObserver match, the score is higher, so we'll give him "1". Gasik gets "0". The draw will be determined from the in-game chat.

Gasik advances to the super final. We look forward to exciting matches. By default, it remains a best-of-3 series. The deadline is until May 12th, inclusive. If you wish, you can play a best-of-5 series; in that case, I will add a week.

We should have also held a coin-flipping competition.

HellLight, it would be great to determine the final winner – even if it means flipping a coin for the losers. If the higher-ranked player has no objections, I think we should give people some time to play, and a week won't make much difference.

HellLight, it's a cool way to determine the finalist – even if it means flipping a coin for the losers. If the high-ranked player has no objections, I think we should give people some time to play, and a week or so won't make a difference.

The high-ranked player has no objections.

And who are you, anyway?

Here, with your 666th message, you won't scare anyone)), and I agree with Rutz's statement. However, since the coin has already been flipped and JustObserver agreed to the coin toss, it's no longer worth changing the result.

The results are in, the time for the super final is ticking, I would advise the finalists not to chat, but to start playing, otherwise there might not be a winner...

Since the just observer agreed to a coin flip, there's no need to change the result.

Dima, what are you talking about?
There are rules, they are established for everyone, and whether he agreed or not is irrelevant; he broke the rules, so he gets penalized:smile47:.

regarding who bears responsibility, that's another question, but the debate is irrelevant and not interesting to me.

Oh yeah.:cool:
Another stern man on the ninety-ninth :smile08:

1 game of the superfinal. Played until three victories. The initial score is 1-0.
Somehow it wasn't in the rules who chooses the template and who chooses the color; the first page wasn't updated. We agreed Stas - template, me - color. Between smka and Jebus, Jebus was chosen. Between Fortress, Flax, and Rampart... I chose Fortress, opponent - Rampart.
We used one restart each.

04.05.2013 high (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Gasik (Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) Jebus Cross, 127

111 dragonflies in the castle. Only a 5-hero spread. Two Hives and a Griffin Conservatory are revealed. Tazar cleared the road and also the Hive's guard (75 dwarves) and stayed the night at the external dwelling of Behemoths. Tyraxor is at the Hive. Adela is near the external dwelling of Gorgons. Decided to play.
112 Behemoths are secured. Their external dwelling is captured. Total 6 units. Tyraxor took the Hive with 6 Wyverns. Tazar spends the night near the next Hive. 8 heroes.
113 Wyverns are built. Tazar takes the Hive with 6 Wyverns. Gorgon's external dwelling is captured. Total 6 Behemoths, 14 Wyverns. Taz is level 6 with Expert Earth, Armorer, and basic Logistics.
114 Gorgons are built. Tazar defeats 20+ Medusas, gets a Pandora's Box for 10k experience. A Hive guarded by 20+ Archmages is revealed. Don't want to divert Tazar there. Sent Tyraxor (regretted it later). Taz approached a cluster of three schools of magic. Raised Knowledge and Spell Power... Taz is already level 9. Advanced Logistics and got Air magic.
115 Citadel is built. Tyraxor defeats the Archmages. Checks the Hive. 50+. Got scared. Taz returned and took it, maxed out. On the Archmages and in the Hive, 4 Behemoths and 5 Wyverns were lost. But still in profit. If Taz had defeated the Archmages, losses would have been significantly less... Chased the tempo. 21 Wyverns and 2 Behemoths.
116 Guild is built... Have Slow and Haste. Taz defeats 20+ Hell Hounds. Takes a Pandora's Box for 10k experience and another external dwelling of Behemoths. Was a mistake. If he had split at the external dwelling, gone into the castle, bought a spell book, and refilled mana, he would have entered the treasure zone on 121... but that came to mind later... Taz is level 13.
117 Castle is built. Taz takes another Pandora for 10k experience. Takes two Hives and stopped near the Dragon Utopia next to the Vampires to split into the castle... if on the previous day he had refilled mana and bought the spell book, he would have exited the next day... pity. Have 33 Wyverns. Taz is level 16, Expert Armorer, Earth, Air, Logistics. Advanced Tactics and Offense, and basic Wisdom.
121 Upgraded Wyvern nest is built. Tazar splits into the castle. Manages to take the Griffin Conservatory, a third point, and again splits into the castle where he spends the night. Scout heroes go to collect the Chain Mail +5 to Spell Power and another Hive.
122 Scout heroes collected a couple of crypts. Cleared the nasty guard to get the Chain Mail and the Hive's guard. Took the Hive. With 33 Wyverns and all losses from guards and the captured Hive, came out to a slight profit. Now 35. Taz stood near the Dragon Utopia. 20+ Death Knights.
123 Dragon Utopia is cleared. Tazar ran along the road. Saw 2 Dragon Utopias, turned towards them. Cleared the guard of one and stayed there for the night. 39 Wyvern Monarchs and single dragonflies.
124 An interesting contact game began. Opponent also exited and stopped on the same road from which I turned towards the Utopia. A scout hero checked him. If you take all stacks, the army is stronger. But my single main stack is much stronger than his main one. But he has Ivor and 55 Elves, and stats are about five points better than mine. I take two Dragon Utopias. They give three spell books. Unfortunately, they don't give Earth magic. For stats, only Shield +12-3 and Sword +6. Not much, but that will do. Oh, also. The Cape of Strategy +2 to speed... it decided a lot.
125 On his turn (124), the opponent attacks me. Advantage in meat on his side. In stats, on my side. But I have almost no mana, he has nearly 130. I take out the main Wyvern stacks (left about 12 units. 20 Gorgons, probably from the Pandora) I lose about ten Wyverns myself, decide to retreat... He has few bulky units left. I think he won't be able to take the Utopias... (I was wrong). I see the opponent take a Utopia. I can't understand how. All that was left from the bulky stack were 3 Angels and 12 Wyverns. He's not taking it with Elves, is he... Tazar is bought back and, due to the lack of a convenient mana well, loses an entire day and two opportunities to refill mana. Scout heroes go to collect another Hive.
126 After refilling mana, Tazar runs to the treasure zone. But not along the road, towards a mountain. There's an Air spell book, and on the other side, a Utopia is visible. Scout heroes take the Hive (+8 Wyverns) and there is a chain into the castle to upgrade the Wyverns and to Tazar.
127 Tazar used Fly and left the spell book for Solmyr to transport troops. He himself, with 33 upgraded Wyverns and single dragonflies, flew over the mountain, took the external dwelling of Harpies, and stopped near the Utopia. According to plan, Solmyr was supposed to bring the growth on the next turn and join the war himself. After all, thanks to the dragonflies, first speed, and Solmyr is already level 10. Chain Lightning deals 350 damage... but all plans were ruined by the opponent. On his turn, he attacks Tazar... and out of nowhere, Implosion appeared. The battle turned out interesting. In meat, he has a big advantage. After all, the two days of losses from refilling mana took their toll. Wyverns are almost equal to mine. Stats are not much less. My Wyverns charge into his with Luck and halve them. He piles all his forces onto my Wyverns and kills a few, but then Implosion hits and only a third of them remain... I cast Armageddon, he has two Angels and 20 Elves surviving, I have 12 Wyverns. On the next turn, Blind on the Elves and I kill the Angels. Then the Elves are finished off, and gg...

An interesting dynamic game. Contact started already on day 124 and continued almost every day, either the scout heroes fought or the main heroes... My main mistake was not exiting on day 121, as there was a great opportunity...

Thank you for the game!

2-0

I simulated the screenshot of the final myself. Didn't take one during the battle. Might be something off... but it seems it was like that.
