It seems like FB-8 has just ended, the players have put their horses back in the stables, and Maretti is basking in his glory, but then... New heroes decided to challenge the champion and prove their strength in battles against him and other prize winners in the next final battle; in short, OFB-9 tournament is officially open.:smile03:



I. Regulations and deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using a "Swiss" system.

The tournament starts on April 20, 2015; registration ends on April 19, 2015 inclusive.

Each round lasts two weeks – matches will be scheduled without regard to opinions or authority (the only exception is CNG-15 in Volgograd).
Players can agree on a convenient time for themselves, but if they cannot reach an agreement, the critical time for the game is Saturday night - Sunday at 9:00 PM Moscow time - the game must last at least 5 hours (if it was not possible to play in one go, then in the second week - at least 7 hours)thus, in order to resolve the issue of awarding points, players must play at least 12 hours!!!, so I recommend contacting your opponent immediately after the draw and making arrangements; if you fail to do so, write to the organizer or judges; if you don't write, I assume that everything is fine with you and, in case of a controversial situation, I will proceed based on this. In case one player does not show up at the agreed time, the other player must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when submitting the results, this will be the main argument.
This point is non-negotiable.

OFB will consist of 9 rounds; preliminarily, 7 players advance to the final stage, but under certain circumstances (such as tied places, a player who qualified for FB withdrawing, etc.), the host has the right to expand this list (has the right – does not mean he will necessarily do so – for particularly pedantic demagogues :) ).

The organizers reserve the right to change these regulations.

II. Rules and templates.

1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod latest version; by mutual agreement, WoG, HotA, or any other HOMM3 version can be used.
Games using HW rules mods are only allowed with mutual consent.
3. The template is chosen in turn from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish - standard (played with random castles at 200% difficulty with the HW_rules_mod patch, you can play mirror matches if both players want, Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in red in the table chooses the template first (in this case, the player indicated as number 1 in the pair plays in red).
4. Castle selection... In this tournament, castle selection will be "optional," meaning there is no specific order – you want to play Necropolis? Please do so; you want to play Dungeon? Be my guest, BUT… you cannot play the same castle more than twice in the tournament (if this rule is violated, the match will be forfeited; upon recurrence, disqualification).
The red player starts choosing the castle. If the players want to play with the same castles, they must agree on who will play which one; if they fail to reach an agreement, they will play with random heroes.
This point is non-negotiable; if it doesn't suit you, don't play.
5. The winning player, before the end of the round deadline, must submit a report, and the losing player must confirm it - those who fail to comply with this rule will not be allowed to participate in the draw for the next round.
6. 2 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
Winners are determined by the number of points scored. In case of a tie, additional criteria apply:
1) Buchholz coefficient
2) Head-to-head result
7. Draws are prohibited in the last round!!!

III. Organizational issues
1. This is an official, regular tournament.
2. The tournament is held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
3. Tournament host: zloy_romantik (296524052), Palach HP (426409548) – organizational matters.
Tournament judge: Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873) and Pit for LM (471401475)
4. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves from all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and submitted upon request from the tournament hosts or any member of the AC (Arbitration Committee).
6. If controversial situations arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve this, contact the host or judge in ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information. Appeals against decisions can and should be filed with the AC, not by starting arguments - I will delete such posts and punish offenders (Palach is co-host for a reason; he definitely has an axe :D ).
7. All games in the tournament count towards the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are posted in this thread and will be copied to the "Reports of online games and their confirmations" thread. Therefore, there is no need to duplicate reports in the season ranking.
8. The final stage of the tournament will be held using a round-robin system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other gaming resources are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered individually).
3. Players who have just registered are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception – active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered individually).
4. Players with permanent bans are not allowed to participate in the tournament. If any player receives a permanent ban during the tournament, they will be disqualified, and their results will be annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who repeatedly "ignored" tournaments may be rejected.
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. Winners and 2nd/3rd place winners of FB-7 tournament are NOT eligible for selection (Maretti, Aive, and Stinger).
8. Attention all participants. Those who have unconfirmed reports that are one month or older at the start of the tournament will not be admitted. Please check current tournaments and the season ranking for outstanding debts!

Well, I think that's it; saddle up, and may the strongest win :smile13:

I couldn't imagine a more absurd idea, even if I tried really hard.
1) Why would you need to add a timer for yourself? On what basis? Just because you feel like it? That's phenomenal logic, or rather, a complete lack of it.
2) If you're really set on controlling your opponent's "doing nothing," there's a simpler way. Let's say your opponent had 22 minutes left when they crashed, and after reloading, it's 30 minutes. The opponent makes a move without doing anything, and then passes the turn after it's completed. You exit the game, and if needed (and I feel it will be), the opponent sends you their save file after the move for COMPLETE control. Then, they wait 8 minutes and pass the turn. No third parties are needed; the opponent's "doing nothing" is confirmed by loading the save file from before and comparing the actions. It's strange that such a simple method didn't occur to you, but instead, you're adding a timer for yourself. I'd like to say it's like "Woe from Wit," but it's clearly something else entirely.

You probably haven't read Roger's posts in the politics section.
His phenomenal IQ matches his logic, so there's nothing to be surprised about. And anyone who disagrees is just a "vatnik" and a "green kid."

Isn't trust required in other matters besides passwords? What about disconnections, or streaming? And I'm not even mentioning the fact that some skilled individuals can crack passwords. How did people play without passwords before? :confused:
The rest comes down to trust because there's no other option. Of course, many people trust each other here, but if everyone trusted each other, passwords wouldn't have been introduced in the game at all.

A tough start with winding roads and terrible guards dragged the game out significantly, despite the perfectly leveled Kyrre I only managed to take on the level-three Griffin Conservatory on grass by month 2 week 4, while my opponent with Titan from Refugio was running around from the very first turns... :eek: in the end, after a quick run through one of the treasure zones, I immediately went to the central one, 2 Dragon Utopias with mediocre artifacts, not enough stats, no control, took my opponent's main, and back to my own treasure zones, big-scale racket was going on, saved by a town gate scroll on the ground, and then reconnaissance reported that in the corner of the already explored first treasure zone there was also a Vessel of Might lying, GM5 of course gave nothing except the ability to use a flight scroll taken in advance, from the second [utopia] I had an external dwelling of dragons with a portal, but I only managed to place dragons on turn 4, in the end I gave out quests for Flax's army, took [and] equipped artifacts for +25% shooting + Golden Bow, 75 Stormies, 100 Ice Maidens, 55 Grands, 77 Monarchs + 32 regular ducks, 30 Green Serpents, and 13 Black Dragons, Elixir of Life, Ballista, 31 37 vs Tazar 22 43, 85 Monarchs, 9 Archmagi, 115 Lizardmen, 45 Orcs, and singles, poison procced successfully + more HP, more battle stacks allowed a confident victory in the final, thanks for the game
Had an artifact +3 to all snatched right from under my nose, otherwise there would have been an alliance, maybe something would have worked out in the FB, but like this against Elik there's no chance, I love roughly equal matchups.
Thanks for the game!

I don't understand why these kinds of situations even arise in games. If you don't trust your opponent, what's the point of playing? To monitor someone doing nothing? What kind of nonsense is that? All games are built on trust and mutual understanding. Roger, why do you constantly have some kind of conflict with everyone? I don't understand. Enjoy the game, instead of arguing. Best wishes to everyone.

Roman, firstly, this is a tournament, and I don't choose; secondly, this isn't an argument! It's an attempt to create a systematic approach to saves and disconnects. Basically, Kostya monitored 5-6 minutes of inactivity, and that's what all the fuss is about. You can reinvent the wheel every time, or you can discuss it once and include it in the rules, and there won't be any problems.
Maybe I'm wrong, and my suggestion of adding a time penalty isn't the best.

I won't write about Zloy; I'll just say that as an OFB judge, he's not in his element, and this has already been pointed out to him. I don't know what "moshnenie" means. If he, as a judge, had said that he would be watching, then that's what would have happened. But some of his statements border on arbitrariness and ANARCHY!

If you want to discuss politics, do it there!

If anyone wants to compete in IQ, no problem, let's post the results.


Also, best wishes to everyone: GOOD HEALTH, PEACE, and WELL-BEING!

We played without restarts. Good terrain +1 Dragon Fly Hive and Dragon Utopia on the respawn, as well as 18 Elves from the start. That's where the good stuff ended. On the second week, I took the max Dragon Fly Hive on the respawn and 1 max in the treasure zone. This allowed me to take the Dragon Utopia on the secondary hero on day 132, getting Wings there, which let me run across the snow to the treasure zone and make a clumsy approach to the opponent with a scout hero, camping on his external Phoenix dwelling (not sure why I took it if I was planning to attack from the new week, more birds would have spawned). We didn't attack. The next day, the scout hero reaches the Castle and captures it turn-for-turn with about 100 movement points left. Ivor buys himself out and goes to punish everyone with an Imp on 2500. The Elementals don't have much of an army and surrender.
Thanks for the game!

We took 111 and began.
I played the hand because of boots + gloves behind piercing guards, and actually took them on 113. The map surprised me with a complete lack of objects — the first Dragon Fly Hive was found on 124 (the minimum), by which point 50% of the surface and a small chunk of the underground had been revealed, 5-6 towns were painted, and two enemies were killed, including a Castle player, where I immediately built an Angel (thankfully with an income of around 7k). From there, a lucky passage led to a good treasure zone (with that very Dragon Fly Hive) and a Helm on the 5th; behind good guards — 80 chests — with 10 ducks and 1 Angel, we broke through decently, losing a couple of Wyverns and some overeating. The base really upset me at first with its leveling — resistance, archery, wisdom — but later it corrected itself — attack + earth + tactics. The opponent was scouting this treasure zone from a lookout, saw me take the Helm, and decided to concede.

Thanks for the game!

Opponent surrendered, I don't know why, they never offered a pass.
Thanks for the game!
I did offer a pass, so this is a malicious lie.
It generated a block on half of the map 4 times.
Thanks for the game.

I spent a long time choosing between smka and 6lm10a. We chose all the rests and relied on luck. On 111, in order to break through anywhere, I was forced to fight 10+ storms — it worked out. Plenty of caches for everyone except horses. Exit to the crossroads via off-road. Strategically, 2 dungeons against 3 Ramparts. A very difficult game in week 2-3; the first Dragon Utopia was in week 4, though the second one was in КЗ. Then a fat super-treasure which I cleared in 3 trips. All books were found, but stats were very poor. The opponent had a double from week 2; I made a mistake and the AI reclaimed the double. Later I managed to get the double back and even took a third Rampart. A maximum of 10 dragons, though due to mindless play I lost about 5 of them. In week 7, the opponent took all the Castles. On 236 FB, the opponent had 47 angels (lucky there was no Castle), an AA that didn't trigger and an elixir; I don't know how I carried it, stats were roughly equal, likely by using 135 ducks and 29 gold as meat, plus morale mostly only worked for me.

Thanks for the game and for the gentlemanly behavior!

05/14/2015 Roger-ua (Blue, Rampart, Kairic, Kairic) def Falcone (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 6lm10a 236

I was choosing for a long time between SM and 6lm10a. In the end, all the rest chose, and it turned out well. On turn 111, I was forced to use 10+ storms just to break through – luckily, it worked. There were plenty of hiding spots, except for the horses. I made my way to the crossroads through the rough terrain. Strategically, 2 Dungeons against 3 Ramparts. It was a very tough game in weeks 2-3, with the first major battle happening in week 4, although it was in the second castle. After that, there was a large super-treasure that I looted in 3 turns. I got all the books, but the stats were not very good. The opponent had a double castle from week 2, and I made a mistake and the computer blocked it. Then I managed to get the double castle back and even added a third Rampart. I had a maximum of 10 dragons, but due to poor play, I lost about 5 of them. In week 7, the opponent took all my castles. On turn 236, the opponent had 47 angels (I was lucky that there were no castles), an Archangel that didn't work, and an Elemental. I don't know how I managed to win, the stats were roughly equal, but I had more units: 135 ducks and 29 gold, plus the morale was mostly on my side.

Thank you for the game and for the gentlemanly behavior!

I see, my training wasn't in vain :D

The dwarf in the beginning greatly disappointed with his skills — resistance, archery, wisdom, but later he improved — attack + earth + tactics. Opponent scouted this treasure zone from a lookout, saw me taking the Hat, and decided to capitulate.

Thanks for the game!
You should have taken resistance, everything was empty too, I recovered a Scroll of Flight, didn't quite build Gorgon 5, but they took the Hat instead, and I decided not to drag it out, thanks for the game!
