Posts from Peter Offline 2017, May 6-9. Auto-translated

I was going to bring up this topic a little later, but due to some circumstances that have arisen, it was no longer desirable to delay, so the discussion and registration for the new St. Petersburg offline event starts right now:smile13:
The debates about the location for the CIS 2017 tournament have just ended (and for some, they haven't ended yet:)), where the city of Volgograd, a city of heroes, won by a small margin, and some people have already bought tickets there, but there are also those for whom this tournament is, unfortunately, not affordable, and that is why there is a proposal to hold a small get-together (only 4 days, from May 6 to 9 inclusive) in the old, reliable place - Vaskelovo, near St. Petersburg http://www.cottagesspb.ru/arenda/rent/vaskelovo.html
Many have already been there, and as far as I know, no one has been dissatisfied yet ;)
Advantages of Vaskelovo
-budget accommodation (renting both cottages for 1 day will cost 15,000 (which averages 1,000 per person) + we are given 6 hours of sauna as a bonus)
A brief description of the sauna - a 2-story separate building with a billiard table and a swimming pool, where it is convenient to play poker without disturbing those playing in the tournament ;)
-budget meals (everyone can eat whatever they want, usually we buy groceries in a supermarket for the entire period at once)
-Tamerlan... those who have been there know who he is, and for those who haven't, I'll say that he is just an excellent cook who cooks delicious food at a reasonable price (let's say that kebabs or pilaf for the whole group cost us only 1,000 in total)
-no outsiders complaining about noise or late-night gatherings.
-no need to rent any paid halls (there is a place to play in the main cottage), but if more people gather than usual, there is a separate room with a large area that they will open for us for a symbolic fee (but we have never needed it, the main hall was enough)
I think that's all, I'll add anything I forgot later.

Now about the rules...
Since this time we have a little more time, there is a proposal to play an Olympic-style tournament with elimination, but to expand the pool of templates (templates are negotiable)

For all questions, write here or in ICQ.

So, what now – should I just split myself in two? I was actually planning to take Tamerlane with me to Volgograd...

Merlin has really gone overboard... now he only travels to tournaments with his personal chef :cool:

Maybe we could hold a poll and run it for the CIS region? ;)

We need to recover after the last CIS tournament :D

I think you're wasting your time with these topics. Is Vik still promoting that tournament in Королев during these dates? Why!? All that's left is for Eburg and us in Siberia to open official events for May Day, and then it would be perfect! Instead, you're competing with each other for participants, and in the end, no one will gather a sufficient number of players. Is it really necessary, and what's the point?

In my opinion, most of the participants mentioned above are already buying tickets for the CIS event and heading to Volgograd. Are you and Cobra planning to play Heroes together under the radar so that he can finally become number one? ;)))

Are the templates for Normal difficulty or Skirmish, and what about other balance changes?

Let him go, who's against it? I definitely don't want to offend anyone or prove anything. I'm organizing this tournament not to take away anyone's quota, but so that those who don't have the means/opportunity/time to go to Volgograd (like me) can also have a good time. Wouldn't it be better to stay home during the May holidays if you can't go to a CIS tournament? If we get 12-15 people, that's already good, more would be even better, but if not, that's fine too.

This time, they're normal. :)

That's right, let's prepare a topic, but place it in the middle, for example, in Omsk. 😂😂😂
Are there any people from Omsk? 😅

I agree with Roman. If the CIS format doesn't suit someone, M200 is an excellent choice. A reliable and proven organizer. A great venue, also proven by time. Tamerlane!!!!!!!!!!!

Dim, thanks for the support, but this time the format isn't m200 ;) 4 days with the Olympic template, we can try some more interesting templates.

This is an interesting option. Who among the locals plans to be there? I am seriously considering this possibility. Provided there is a tour of St. Petersburg. Last time, I didn't get a chance to properly see the city.

Well, if you stay until the 11th or 12th, I promise to give you a tour (or you can come earlier). The locals will probably be the usual group (minus Falcon and Napalm) of those who aren't going to the CIS+ event, and Gus Crystal was planning to come, as well as Pekablear.

The idea is good, but I'm going to Nitro to discuss the possibility of hosting a CIS tournament there next year.

And when is the "meeting on the Elbe" planned? If I'm free, I can stop by, maybe I can help with something too.
