Regarding the conference room – 3000 rubles for three hours, then 500 rubles per hour, and we can negotiate the time and duration as needed. But I'm still in negotiations and trying to get a better price. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

It's better to negotiate a fixed price for the whole day to avoid any complications. And to have the option to stay a bit longer, just in case we need to finish playing at night.

If we aim for 5,000 rubles per day, for 40 people, that would be 600 rubles per person for 5 days.

Hey, I'm choosing wallpaper for my apartment, can you help me pick a color?)))

Go for a design featuring castles from Heroes of Might and Magic.

If the minibus goes directly to the base entrance, it will be faster, of course. But even so, an hour is optimistic; only if everything goes perfectly will it take that long. In reality, considering the wait for the minibus and the train, I think it will take about an hour and a half.

Yandex provides exactly this breakdown, including the waiting time. An hour and a half of travel.

It's easy for you to travel when everything is paid for.

Won't you calm down, young man? Do you always have to resort to personal attacks? Do you always have to bring money into it?
Of course, it's easy for me to travel when the costs of transportation and accommodation are covered (without alcohol and other things). It only takes two to three months to prepare. Write songs, rehearse. Write scripts, select backing tracks. Then run through the script with models, cut down on timing, and rework some things based on previous programs... (And all of this, of course, is done in my free time - I don't have a job that allows me to play Heroes and mess around).
Then I have to deal with the administration at the bases when they start to get out of line.
Then I have to recover my vocal cords for a week or two.
A freeloader, what else.

But, in general. Maybe there won't be a forum war after the CIS tournament this year? Because it seems like everyone (including me) has already messed up badly.

Haven't they finished yet? As I understand it, the crucial moment is still ahead, when the "Kings" option will finally receive serious support from the decision-makers?

I saw that the location is right in the city of Korolev, which means constant access to food and entertainment. Getting to Moscow takes 1.5-2 hours, which isn't a problem at all, since we're in a city and there's transportation available practically at any time. And besides the usual fun and drinking, I'm very interested in this trip as a journey.
Vitya, is there a possibility of getting a discount for a large order and reducing the accommodation cost? And could we opt out of breakfast and also reduce the cost? We're in the city, and spending about 500 rubles a day on food isn't a problem at all.
When we organized the event in Yekaterinburg in 2012, we negotiated a discount for the number of rooms. The discount was used to pay for the conference hall.
And if in Korolev we don't pay for Merlin's "super program," which everyone is getting tired of, but instead pay for the conference hall, the offer would look very attractive.
My expenses:
6k for tickets + 3.4k / 2 * 7 days = 18k - mandatory expenses without food
4-5k - I could manage with that for food
And the rest is my free time, which is roughly the same in both locations.
So, the mandatory expenses in Korolev are 23k, compared to 40k in Volgograd.
And for these 23k, I won't have to listen to Merlin's jokes through the sound system. Awesome!

No one is attacking you – everyone genuinely understands your contribution to organizing the Championship; we appreciate and love you for it. Personally, I expressed my opinion that the vote for Volgograd won on February 5th, and on the 6th-7th, you were already vehemently stating that there would be no reconsideration of the application. In my opinion, Korolev's application, even though it was submitted a bit late, deserves the same consideration as the applications from Volgograd and Yekaterinburg. Because when choosing a CIS location, many factors need to be considered. More options mean a greater chance of finding the optimal solution. But your opinion – that they didn't have time, so it's over – doesn't work for me.

I don't understand one thing. Why isn't Merlin president yet, or at least a member of parliament? It really seems like some kind of pre-election campaign, promoting "his" party.

Your opinion – that they simply didn't have time – goodbye – doesn't work for me personally.

Go ahead, go ahead... You should try to register for the main tournament in the CIS region when two rounds have already been played...

Another expert speaking for everyone. How skillfully you, brothers from World Tournament, use these phrases.
You don't seem to understand. You don't pay for this program. The costs and investments of the organizer don't concern you in any way.
The organizers offered their event program and their price for the base's services in the application. The audience voted. The winning application was determined.
Korolev, which was not and is not an application, should be considered for next year.
I'm curious. How would the comrades from Yekaterinburg behave now if Yekaterinburg had won... Would they all rally behind Korolev?..)))

Two-Room "Comfort"
Room accommodating up to 4 people (total of 9 rooms).
In one room: a double bed, bedside tables, wall-mounted lamps.
In the other room: a sofa bed, a table, two poufs, a telephone, a TV, and a refrigerator.
The bathroom is combined with a toilet; towels and guest amenities are provided.
Accommodation cost
1 person – 3350 rubles, 2 people – 3550 rubles, 3 people – 3750 rubles, 4 people – 3950 rubles.

In other words, the most budget-friendly option is 3950 rubles / 4 * 7 = 7k for accommodation with breakfast!!! I'm sure that Vitya can negotiate a discount for the number of people and/or for canceling breakfast, and, by cutting Merlin's expenses, we can get a conference room at a significant discount or even for free.

Therefore, the minimum total of all mandatory expenses, for example, for me:
6k for tickets + 7k for accommodation with breakfast + 3k for food
Total: 16k.

This option is even more interesting to me than the CIS conference in Yekaterinburg, as it offers the opportunity to travel.

yes, even without discounts (which may still be applied), Королев is currently twice as cheap as ВЛГ. But he was late... as Kirill said.

For lovers of asceticism, travel, and unity with nature, Volgograd is ready to offer another option, the cost of accommodation: 350 rubles/person.
The Turbaza "Otdykh na Volge" (formerly the "Elektra" base) was built in 1965, when gas equipment specialists decided to establish their recreation area in the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain. On two hectares of land, almost on the banks of the Volga, the first tents were set up, and later houses were built. Over all these years, the base has been renovated several times. But still, the fresh air, a large number of green spaces, and the immediate proximity to the Volga River make the rest truly unforgettable.
On the territory of the base there is a volleyball court, a sauna (pool, shower, relaxation room), a guarded parking lot, and billiards.
In general, it's not just a base, it's AMAZING!)))

Summer wooden houses are available for two, three, and four people (a total of 70 places).
The houses are equipped with single or double beds, a refrigerator, and a basic set of dishes. For hygiene procedures, you can use the shower cabins in the bathhouse for an additional fee.
