That's exactly what I meant – it's unfair.

In that case, please accept my apologies.

In that case, accept my apologies.

No, no. Give me three thousand.

My opinion: if a person is genuinely interested in being a host and coming up with ideas to make things more interesting, you shouldn't put any obstacles in their way. Insisting on questions of a specific theme, etc., won't make the program better; it will only complicate the host's job. I'm saying this as someone who knows firsthand what it's like to perform. If the organizers say, "on this day, we need songs about war," it won't make the concert better; it will just unnecessarily stress the musicians. In short, Merlin shouldn't overdo it, but also, it's pointless and not very nice to criticize him. He's doing a good job.

Allow me to share my opinion, even though I wasn't at the current event, but I did attend events in Minsk and Volgograd, and in Volgograd, I even seem to recall being one of the organizers. So, I'm the kind of person who is generally interested in Heroes, but I haven't played it in a long time. In my time, I often organized various events that differed greatly in theme, format, and the level of guests. From personal experience, I can say that ANY themed event absolutely needs to be interspersed with some kind of show that is completely unrelated to the event's THEME, because people periodically need to take a break and clear their heads. You can't spend seven days sitting at a computer, and even drinking while at the computer. There are also barbecues, football, volleyball, and other activities. I understand that the core of this is the TOURNAMENT, but I repeat, it needs to be diversified. As for the content of Merlin's contests, this is naturally a topic for discussion. Not everyone can like everything, and this is true both in Minsk and in Volgograd. He had some great songs and some successful contests, but there were also contests that weren't very fun. But that's always been the case and will always be the case at all events; not every show can be an absolute hit!

Regarding the topic at hand, in my opinion, the creator of an entertainment program should design it according to their own taste. That way, if it turns out to be a failure, the responsibility falls on them. The situation where one group of people makes decisions, and another group is held accountable for them, seems wrong.

Regarding alcohol and poker, in my opinion, neither should be allowed in the gaming area because they distract players and judges and create unnecessary tension. However, prohibiting these activities seems wrong to me, especially considering the presence of many people who came to relax, not to compete.

At the CIS tournaments I attended (2010-2013), this wasn't a problem, but judging by the feedback from the latest CIS tournaments, the situation has changed for the worse in this regard.

This reminded me of something. Here's a question for those who believe that quizzes and other entertainment should only be related to the "Heroes" theme: Do you think the question below relates to the "Heroes" theme, and would such questions be interesting? **Question:** In one corner of Erathia, the hero Ivor is trying to capture an enemy castle. To get there, he must cross a rope bridge stretched over a huge chasm. So, he walks along this rope... At the same time, in another part of Erathia, the hero Orrin is in his castle, and Muttare Drake is giving him a blowjob... At this moment, Ivor and Orrin have the same thought in their heads. What is that thought? P.S. Correct answers are also welcome!

the one who Mutarre Drake gives a blowjob to...

Who is this?

The answer is likely related to the word "mouth".

Who is that?

The answer is most likely related to the word "mouth."

You're completely off track; it's much simpler. Just put yourself in the place of both heroes.

"Keep calm, just keep calm" :)

Actually, it's not that complicated; just put yourself in the shoes of both heroes.

The idea is: what was the author thinking? Option: Well, I messed up... And the correct answer is too obvious. Don't look down.

Or another similar question:
What do porn model Sasha Grey, a packet of "Nash Oryol" coffee, and the spell "Prayer" have in common?

P.S. Merlin is wrong again, but the line of reasoning is correct.

Or another similar question:
What do porn model Sasha Grey, a packet of "Nash Orel" coffee, and the "Prayer" spell have in common?

3 in 1

3 in 1

And that is absolutely the correct answer!!!
Here, I made the task a little easier; it would have been more accurate to leave only Sasha Grey and Prayer, because coffee is a rather obvious clue.

Two objects are not enough for a good question; too many dual interpretations will arise. You need 3-4, so instead of coffee, add something less obvious.

Questions from Sasha – excellent! Team up with Merlin and turn Sochi-17 into a masterpiece.
