Posts from Final vote for the location of the CIS-2017 tournament.

But what will change because of this?

If we are talking specifically about the CIS Championships (the history of which, by the way, is presented in a separate section on HW), then they started in 2010.

If we are talking specifically about the CIS Championships (the history of which, by the way, is presented in a separate section on HW), then they started in 2010.

in the end, among the organizers, besides Vigo, who is the main target of criticism, there are also quite respected players, and, by the way, they are also pioneers in many respects))

i.e. the key word here is CIS
it's clear! the demarcation of Krasnodar, which gave start to all Heroes championships, with their successors is obvious

The target audience has spoken.

I, by the way, am not against it – and I am all for an objective voting system...

I repeat – the core of the magical target audience consists of hero-poker-playing alcohol tourists.
But there should be players! Remove the non-playing players from the King's Bounty and Warlords of the North – the picture will be depressing for the mage!
And this is without taking into account the fact that many who didn't make it to Warlords will come to King's Bounty, but the opposite is unlikely!

The objective voting data suggests otherwise.
What were you reading?
In favor of VLG.
Those who attended SNK – 29, of which 20 attended twice or more.
Those who did not attend SNK – accordingly, four people.
Those who predominantly played in the main tournament – 20, of which 13 people played twice or more.
Those who did not play in the main tournament – accordingly, 13 people.

Now look at the others.
50% of the votes for Korolev never attended SNK at all, and among them, out of 40 people, only 12 were players, of which 8 played 2 times or more.

After all, over 7 championships, that's already a certain statistical sample.

Actually, I was thinking of writing a separate, lengthy post summarizing everything – plus, there were some questions directed specifically at me that I didn't have time to answer (because, among other things, yesterday I walked about 30 kilometers as part of the hippotherapy sessions)...
But now I'm thinking – why bother? And for what purpose? I could show the answers from the end of the textbook. I could even demonstrate how these answers were obtained (i.e., the solutions to the problems). But what's the point? I've already written everything I wanted to say.

So, in short:
1. I perceive the CIS Championship as a separate project.
I apologize to anyone I may have unintentionally offended by calling them "nobodies." But if a person wasn't present either in real life or on the forum, they are essentially just a technical voter. It's not up to them to decide where and how the CIS Championship should be held.
2. I still feel compelled to, hopefully, make one last jab at Mee. Instead of fighting with Merlin (who is, after all, just a collective image of the CIS, if you will, and who identifies the trend, rather than defining it – he simply voices it), instead of looking for a way to throw his 20-30k somewhere else, he should have used it to help his "brother" by adding to his travel expenses to get to Volgograd. You are not my enemy. And Asma, whom I helped with repairs and, when needed, with his children, and whose entire family I love (including his youngest brother) – I will still consider him a friend, even though he betrayed me a little and started "playing games" himself.
3. Regarding the results of the vote. I repeat. I took a firm and unambiguous position. The vote was held. It was up for a week. There were two applications: Volgograd and Yekaterinburg. Volgograd won. What followed was just some "strange games" (as they say).

We can talk and analyze for a long time about the mass "dumping" of votes for Korolev (among whom a judge, whom many consider and still consider to be an authority, also participated)... But, again, why and to what end?
Everyone draws their own conclusions. And I'll just leave this here... Screenshots from a stream...

It’s unclear why they even held a vote.
Even before it started, there were suspicions that, no matter what, the outcome would be exactly as Merlin decides.
The point system is simply brilliant – with its help, you can force anything onto anything! Merlin also decides which of the main official Heroes of Might and Magic champions should receive points and which shouldn’t – he is the embodiment of objectivity and fairness, right!
Mages are not subjects, but objects!

Once again, to everyone who was part of the organizing committee for Yekaterinburg's bid, I personally want to express my gratitude for the time and effort you invested.

and a hedgehog on a condom

wowa, just please write a correct, reasonable voting system that no one can outdo.
And apply it to this specific vote to get a different result.
Otherwise, it's completely unclear what you're writing about; it's like an old lady came to the housing office and is complaining. How should one live correctly, in your opinion?

but they already created a separate thread about CIS-17
who made that decision?

Who decided that? Merlin? Is he now not only a mage, but also a king, a god, and the main person on this resource?

it's a decent system
it's just that I won against Korolev using it...
I'm not staying silent.
