It would be easy for anyone in this tournament to dump their game into an AI analysis and have a great score estimator, with the time available between moves. So, while a problem, there are even bigger problems that would not get fixed.

Indeed. In more than three years, any player has a lot of time and opportunities to rely on all sorts of help, either human or AI, or both. We can only hope that most players don’t do that.

I trust that you wouldn’t do that 
But I cannot demand that you don’t read this thread here.

I often use AI to review but ONLY AFTER the game is over. I think it’s counterproductive to use during the game, as you then don’t know what you don’t know you need to improve on, or where a potential blind spot or bad habit is. My only reason for pointing this out was that changing the algorithm only affects casual tool use, and leaves a big gap anyway so not a very helpful restriction. Delaying viewers 10 moves or so would be better and more comprehensive mitigation.
It’s not only counterproductive but also straight-up cheating to use AI during a game.

I’m currently on OGS vacation, for reasons, and a few days ago I caught myself having a bad conscience for holding up the TTY tournament yet again—until I remembered that I had actually finished (FINISHED!!!11) all my games of the 1st round

Maybe I missed it, but was there any agreement made on how to get the game that has been paused for a very long time UNpaused?

I just noticed that the clock is still running.
Does that mean the game between Lopez and Willyam123 is NOT paused? Or was that about another game?
… and in any event has any decision been made on UNpausing games and/or getting a new TD for the tournament (since we no longer have a TD)?
I sent a message to Lopez asking to unpause the game, they hadn’t even realized it was paused.

What game are you about? I don’t see it in the list of the 5 last ongoing games.
I think this game was paused for years:
and was unpaused (by a mod?) around november 2023. The player who had paused it timed out.

No actually Lopez unpaused this themselves after I asked them about it there was no need for mod intervention on that game.
