Thanks for the games!

Redwhait HP def alexey-omsk
opponent did not show up for the single-elimination match

R55max-Nitro - R55max had some technical difficulties, and he couldn't play before. The game is being played on a save file; it's the third week of the second month. Nitro has a significant advantage, even according to R55max himself. They were supposed to finish the game on Wednesday, which I strongly disagreed with. Victory in this match is awarded to Nitro due to the opponent's failure to meet the deadlines for the game.

I don't understand the wording of the ruling. It doesn't reflect reality. We played on the 21st, and at Nitro's initiative, we saved the game. Then we played on January 24th; you yourself offered additional dates for the game. During the game, Nitro said he had to leave and we would continue later. I waited for almost 3 hours specifically, then he arrived, said he was tired, and suggested we continue tomorrow. Of course, I was unhappy that I had wasted so much time waiting, but I understood. We continued on January 25th, and again, at Nitro's initiative, we saved the game, although before that, I had been playing with Rebellious all day and was quite tired. And now you're telling me that I'm not meeting the deadlines? And it's being decided unilaterally...

An advantage is not always an advantage; in Heroes, the game can turn around in any way.

If you are basing the result on the non-compliance with the game deadlines, please take into account what I have written. I'm curious how you based this ruling on this point without knowing or asking me who and how agreed, saved, etc.?

I guess you're talking about this?
R55Max (13:01:04 21/01/2014)
Authorization approved

Nitro (13:01:09 21/01/2014)
yay

R55Max (13:01:12 21/01/2014)
What's the deadline?

Nitro (13:01:16 21/01/2014)
until 20
P.S. We still need to finish the game. We've spent so much time on it.

I don't quite understand the wording of the decision.

The deadline for RO64 was January 22nd. You showed up on January 20th-21st and said that you were busy with other tournaments at first, and then your computer stopped working. Nitro was trying to contact you at that time and managed to get in touch for a game, which he told me about. Given that the tournament was extended due to ODD and the language barrier, I decided not to immediately award a technical loss, especially since Nitro was ready to play, and you agreed on Friday. You played a total of almost 7 weeks on HL+U, and you did it in two days. I don't think you should complain about your opponent here, but rather thank him for dedicating so much time to the game, which, with proper "grinding," he might not have even played. The fact that you chose 6LM10A instead of a quick template that could actually be played in 7 weeks of game time, I consider to be solely your personal tactical miscalculation, that's just my opinion. Initially, I wanted to judge based on the saves, and I told you that and asked you to send the saves and password, to which you replied that if we look at the saves, we could declare Nitro the winner, but you said you have your own plan on how to win this game. Nitro wasn't online on Skype at that moment. I wrote to you that you should wait until the evening, and I would contact you later after I think it over. After 30 minutes, you left Skype and didn't show up again. Nitro came a little later (an hour after you left). There's no point in asking one player for saves without the second player's password. The next time you were both ready to continue was Wednesday (January 29th). Is it worth mentioning that it would be, to put it mildly, unfair to the other participants in the tournament to set strict deadlines for them and make an exception for you? Considering the above, I believe that the reason for the technical loss – missing the tournament deadline – is more than fair and understandable in all aspects.

I missed him)

After this, I learned a lesson: If I can't play towards the end of the term (let's say, the last 2-3 days of the tournament) or if I have a bad relationship with my opponent, I should write in the online/offline chat every day to let them know when I can play. That way, they can't blame it all on me later. I've been holding this in, so I decided to vent. Pit and Duty, please don't delete this message.
