27.08.2013. MuLLIyTa (blue, dungeon, Shakti) def Lem (red, Rampart, Kyrre), mini-nosta, 212.
external dwelling of minotaurs and 3 external dwellings of blinders. 250 Troglodytes on the second week. I take a Griffin Conservatory at tier 3, break through a treasure zone and get archdevils in a refugee camp, with which I leave a scout hero to collect imps and small Hives. Meanwhile, Gunnar breaks through a second treasure zone. But Gunnar levels up rather poorly. I return Shakti's army to the main and go look for Castle's computer. I capture it on 131. I see a Dragon Utopia in its treasure zone, turns out to be max. They give +5 +4 +3 all and a bag of a thousand. I break into another treasure zone, there I break 2 Dragon Utopias, a couple more Hives and a level 5 cap. Total Shakti 33 31 27 27, I lack boots for the Angelic Alliance, I have tomes of fire, water, and air. The opponent went to the center a day earlier and the chase across the map began. But control took its toll and on the turn Shakti caught up with Kyrre. FB with no losses.
GG Thanks for the game

08/27/2013. shameonyou (blue, Stronghold, Kreg Hack) def. Stratte (red, Inferno, Marius, Moner) Jebus Cross117

The opponent used up all his restarts, so I was in control. On turn 111, near the Castle, there were immediately 4 monster nests, a couple of goblin lairs, an outer market, and an 8-hero difference. Let's play.
As it turned out, not in vain. On 112, I take the scouting spell and see a monster lair behind the orcs, near the native village. I get boots from a skeleton :eek: :D. I have plenty of money. 113 - I take the monster lair, split up to start taking the nests. I scout out another monster lair. The situation is great.
114 - I kill 27 ogres for the first nest; it's a large one, so I don't attack it, and go to the next one near the goblins. It's just the right size - level 6. I position myself near the next one. 115 - the next nest has 8 vivs, then the one I left earlier - the maximum one - I take it, losing a viv, and of course, all the meat. I already have 25 ducks in my army. 116 - I fight 9 sultans for the next nest, losing a viv. The nest is level 6. Then I take the Nagash lair (level 4) with a Great Scroll, and Kreg goes to the Castle to buy a spellbook. Meanwhile, I find a 3rd monster lair :rolleyes: and build a chain there. On 117, the plan was to take the lairs, replenish mana in the main well, and position myself there near the Griffon-Unicorn lair for a push, but the opponent couldn't handle it and surrendered. Thanks for the game!

p.s. they finally renamed me. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

26.08.2013. Nitro (red, Stronghold, gurni) def. The_ (blue, Necro, NOT Clavius, BUT STRIKER, Clavius) 2sd4d(3) 124 game1

Out of 7 deals, Stryker showed up 5 times (twice as starting, 3 times in the tavern), respawn gave a tiny one, with blockers, no bones, no gold, how to break through 30+ hogs for the obelisk blocking the road is unclear, behind them are upgraded pixies, then immediately upgraded Basilisks on a secondary, on the other secondary eyes. In short, no chance, given that the opponent rushed.

Thanks for the game.

And now about a sore subject. I'll say right away, I understand all the problems in life, work, need to pay attention to a girl, friends called to drink beer, etc., we are all human and all have much more important things to do besides Heroes, BUT:
- if you register for a tournament, it implies that you will still find time for the game, and time that suits not only you but also your opponent.
- if an agreement to play exists, you should try to fulfill it or at least let them know that there is no opportunity to play and state a time when it would be convenient to play for further coordination of the game.
- remember that you are not the only one with things to do and the other person is not a robot who will sit and wait for you to find time to play with them.

Why am I telling you all this, you ask? It was relatively lucky that we played the first game in about 3 hours max (due to the draw and other factors), Nitro had no more time to play that day. We agreed to play the next day, I waited for the opponent for three hours, and without ever waiting, I left to play another game, I was online until 03:00 AM Moscow time, judging by this report (00:45 AM Moscow time) Nitro was online too, I received neither a message nor any other explanation.
We played the first game at a time that was exceptionally convenient for Nitro (there was an agreement for 6 PM, we ended up starting at 9 PM, again all that time I was just sitting waiting for him). Before that, we were supposed to play on Sunday (I don't remember how long, but I waited for the opponent for more than two hours again), after a draw and template selection, Nitro said he had to go to work and withdrew. Even earlier, Nitro didn't get in touch at all for a week (he was online, and only after my message that I had informed the tournament organizers did any activity regarding game arrangements begin, arrangements which, as I already wrote above, were violated more than once (here it should be added, after the end of the first round on 18.08.2013, Nitro wrote that he probably wouldn't be able to play for three or four days due to personal reasons, but not to stay silent for a week)). The impression is that only I need to play these games, because I never heard a single proposal from Nitro, and the few that were made were not honored. I lost the first game fair and square, albeit not without considerable help from the generator, but I had absolutely no motivation to play due to the situation described above.

There are five days left for the possible !!two!! games, considering that in all this time Nitro found three hours for a game, the prospects are not encouraging. Personally, I do not want awards based on saves, awarding technical results, or other non-game solutions. For example, today I have three season games that I promised to finish, and if any of the opponents can/wants to play today, I will play with them; tomorrow I will not be home for personal reasons. On the weekend, besides my own affairs, I have an agreement to play in the "Hunger Games" tournament, where not two, but four people participate.
So, I want to publicly ask, when can we play the possible two games?

In conclusion, I think that all of Nitro's actions (or inaction) are without malicious intent, etc., but there is a limit to all understanding and "empathizing with the situation." I hope for an adequate resolution of the situation and for him to get in touch to agree on a time convenient for everyone.

Should I change my nickname and IP address?

28.08.2013. u2noob (Red, conflux, random, Monia) def cuc9ctblu (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack), Dezhobus,125.
A long tedious game - we tried to play for about 5 hours. There were many unpleasant moments (additional restarts by the opponent, crashes on my end). In the end, a huge respawn spawned covering half the map. I didn't fully scout it, came out very late on day 124 without oil (ГО upgraded unicorns), but with full control and 100 mana. I ran a couple of days - expertised Earth and Fire magic, had КО, КВз, КВ., Monia had 3550 MP. On day 125 the opponent killed himself on his ГО.

28.08.2013. The_ (Red, Citadel, Crag Hack) def Nitro (Blue, Dungeon, Tazar), JC , 116 game2

(the autobattle lost after killing only 32 snakes, I felt a little uneasy at that moment)

Thank you for the game.
