Posts from Unique tournament: "Armageddon's Blade is in demand again".

After defeating the undead, the forces of light have settled on the shores of Erathia! This tournament is a whole RPG; first, you need to reach these shores with the forces of evil (evil is preparing an attack), and then quickly attack the forces of light! After that, the Alliance of Mages issues a decree: "cross the ocean, land in Erathia, and defend the Order of Light!" That's the gist of it! The tournament will consist of 8 rounds + 5 optional quests! The first 3 rounds, you play as EVIL! The next 2 rounds, you play as the Order of Light! And the last 3 rounds, you play as the Alliance of Mages!

Tournament rules:

1. To participate in the tournament, you must be registered on the forum. 2. During any of the rounds, discussing them is prohibited. 3. To start playing, you need to download the map and save file (if provided). 4. The maximum number of hired heroes in one round is 3. 7. Any cheating or attempts at unfair play are strictly punished: the player is automatically disqualified from the tournament and will not be allowed to participate in any future tournaments! 8. Editing any of the tournament maps is strictly prohibited: the player is automatically disqualified from the tournament and will not be allowed to participate in any future tournaments! 9. Wearing the Angel Wings artifact is strictly prohibited: the player is automatically disqualified from the tournament and will not be allowed to participate in any future tournaments! 10. You cannot have 2 or more heroes at the same time. 11. Before the final action, you must save the game and send the save file to Sniper93@ukr.net! 12. The tournament will be held on Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death! The first attack of the undead was decided to be launched on the Order of Light's outpost! You play as the young necromancer hero, Nelak! In the first tournament, the winner will be the one who completes the map the fastest! The first round will last from 05/26/07 to 05/30/07!

1) Why only 10 people? 2) What does it mean to send a save file every day? Why? 3) Which version should we play on? 4) Why isn't there a starting save file? Without it, players start under unequal conditions.

I agree, especially I would like to get an answer to the first question. Another thing is, let's say, if you only allowed 10 people into the second round, but to limit participation in the first round in this way? :confused: And is it possible to do this: allow everyone who wants to participate in the first round. in the second round - everyone except the one who came in last, and so on. I would also like to know the duration of the round (day, week, month). And also: what criteria are you planning to use to determine the winner?

Ugh..., downloaded the map, took a look, and it really is a unique tournament! To find out what makes it unique, you have to download the map! The "non-linearity" of the plot is noted right away. And the comments are something else! No, the guy did his best, I think he tried hard. It immediately reminds me of myself at 14..
Personally, I was discouraged from participating by 100 skeletons who told me: "We are of course for you, but we won't give up the treasures!" and furiously charged into attack!!!!:D:D:D

Tell me Sniper93, how will you protect your tournament from sabotage given the condition of 10 participants?? Let me explain. For example, I decide to win your tournament. I personally register 9 "forum members" on the forum, sign them up for the tournament, sign myself up, and that's it! 9 phantoms won't send you their saves, but I will, and with a terrible result of 9 months, and I'll take 1st place! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Think about it..

Otherwise, everything seems clear.. Map for WoG 3.58, the essence is capturing the human Castle ...

Where is the list of participants? How many spots are left, and how do I register? I'm registering – would this registration method work? I didn't understand the part about 10 participants either, but it's okay.

Honestly, I don't understand anything! Sniper93, have you organized tournaments before? We might end up fighting each other just to participate, and you're just teasing us. Plus, the excitement would be much greater if there were more participants. I understand that reviewing saves from 10 participants is easier than from 30, but I still think we should find a better way, for example, calculate how many players should be eliminated in each subsequent round based on their performance, but still record everyone! I'm not the only one who thinks so. And the rules need to be adjusted a bit; what does "Saves must be submitted every day when you start playing" really mean? Anyway, many people are interested, but it's up to you to decide, and I'd like to be added to the list.

So, thank you all for your suggestions! Everyone who wants to participate is welcome! And there's no need to send in saves every day!

Wow..., I downloaded the map, took a look, and it really is a unique tournament! To find out what makes it unique, you need to download the map! The "non-linearity" of the plot is immediately apparent. And the comments are worth reading! No, the guy is definitely talented and put in a lot of effort, I think. It reminds me of myself when I was 14...
Personally, I was dissuaded from participating by 100 skeletons who told me: "We are of course rooting for you, but we won't give up our treasures!" and fiercely charged into the attack!!!!:D:D:D

Tell me, Sniper93, how will you protect your tournament from sabotage with the condition of 10 participants?? Let me explain. For example, I decided to win your tournament. I MYSELF register 9 "forum members" on the forum, register them for the tournament, and register myself, and that's it! 9 phantoms won't send you saves, but I will, and with a terrible result of 9 months, and I'll take 1st place! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Think about it...

But otherwise, everything seems clear... It's a map for WoG 3.58, the main goal is to capture a human castle...

So, will you participate? Should I register you?

That's a different matter!
But you can find out the tournament dates – just in case you don't have enough time to complete the map,
and the winning condition,
as well as which version of the game you need to play!

That's a different story!
Sign me up too (and can you tell me the tournament dates – just in case I don't have enough time to complete the map and fulfill the victory condition).

Well... you need to be more attentive:

The first round will last from May 26, 2007, to May 30, 2007!

And the victory condition, I suppose, is to "kill everyone."

And the win condition, I suppose, is to "kill everyone."

well... you need to be twice as careful:

In the first tournament, the winner is the one who completes this map the fastest!

You cleverly stated in points 7-9:

the player is automatically disqualified from the tournament and is no longer allowed to participate in any tournament!

1. How will you prevent them from participating in ALL other tournaments?
2. And who will know that they "cheated" on purpose? ;)

2. And who will know that they were "cheating" on purpose? ;)

Exactly, it's necessary to list what bugs exist... because sometimes there are disputes, and it's unclear whether something is a bug or just a specific action... (example: ballista)
Or they say that this bug isn't written in the rules... and that if something isn't forbidden, then it's allowed... (you don't have to look far for examples... ;) )

Oh, come on, it's a "Unique Tournament," and the author probably doesn't think it's necessary to look at the topics from previous tournaments, preferring to experience all the pitfalls firsthand. P.S. And in general, read GmiR's post; his statement about 14 years is very accurate.

Okay, so who wants to participate? And regarding bugs, I, for example, will be able to tell if someone is "cheating" on purpose! And I know a few bugs myself! ;)

As for bugs, I, for example, will notice if someone is "cheating" intentionally!

Can you cheat accidentally???:confused:

Why are you all so harsh on this person? There should be many different kinds of tournaments! And let it be unique! Maybe this is just the organizer's "first attempt"? Let them practice and gain experience; reading is important, of course, and theory is essential, but all the nuances are learned directly through practice. Let's see how they do now! And then, after gaining some experience, they can organize a super-tournament!
So, good luck to you, Sniper! Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate because I'm fully focused on the fifth game in preparation for an important tournament.
