The poll closed without a majority for a time limitation. I suppose the discussion itself served the purpose as well.

I feel bad for my opponents then. I'm going to show everyone the abuses of no time limits to the extreme. I'm going to take an hour per turn or something crazy like that.

1st up Marcos :twisted:

Um no, you will concede or finish it :twisted:

Not my fault if you can't play for 8+ hours straight :)

Moved my recliner into my computer room. I don't got anything to do on Saturday unlike you :)

If time limits aren't going to be imposed, I'm going to abuse the crap out of the system. This isn't anything against you marcos, but I'm tired of all the people out there that slow play and are high quality players.

Why should my opponent take 75% of the time for a given match, where is the equality in that.

I've decided the only way to stop that kind of play is to show the abusiveness of it, and to report it to the judge EVERY round it happens in any matchup I'm in. Basically I'm going to become a middle earth play by the rules ass.

I hope you mean that ironical. :?

Cant you all just play normal speed? Fair and gentlemen-like? I really dont get the point in this discussion. It seems a lot of people are offended by not having a time limit. Even some who didnt even vote for it......

i dont have anything to do during saturday as well, i am on vacations, that is why you will be awake the whole night in front of the pc waiting for me to do something while i'm so comfortable sleeping... Is there any rule against that?

Define normal speed? Normal speed for whom? Normal speed for one is not normal speed for another.

I'm trying to illustrate the bigger issue with time limits in tournaments where people play slowly, taking up to 75% of the given time. This bothers me to no end. And although this isn't an issue with this tournament, I'm going to expose how it feels on a grander scale to everyone I play.

Because this tournament has no time limits, or penalities for slow play. I'm going to abuse it and make it my soap box. If I can make a game go 8, 10, 12, 15 hours long, I can get my opponent to make mistakes, concede, etc. It may be in poor taste, but still within the rules of the tournament.
