I am also against stalling, but what are you going to get doing so at an unlimited game? nothing...
I'd like to bring to light something that people think isn't an issue or don't want to discuss. I feel it's an issue and important enough for me to do something about.
do you really need to do that to demonstrate that you can win? i think no, you are rather a good player...
No I don't really need to do this to prove I can win. I can easily play a game in 30-45 mins. Mark and I have played games as in little as 20 mins. It's not about demonstrating I can win. It's about showing the inherit flaw and the fact judges are reluctant to ever call a player on stalling, when in fact they should.
and guess what, this is a game, and we are supposed to be playing it for FUN! You will find out that the game is very good when you are not taking it so serious like you do.
Perhaps being serious in a game is what makes it fun for me. I'm competitive by nature and I like to play most of the games I play at a high level of play. If I think people are exploiting something they shouldn't be, then I'm going to bring it to light.
And in the case that you didnt noticed, you wont get anything by wining this tourney, ICE is dead so there is no material awards here... again, we are playing for fun. If you cant take it then dont go bother the rest of the people that wants to have fun indeed. Seriously dude, dont fuck me up!
No I won't get anything by winning this tournament. This is true, on the other hand I will have brought to the foreground a topic most of us are unwilling to deal with. When was the last time you EVER saw someone DQ'd for slow/stall play in a tournment? If judges would start enforcing the rules, this wouldn't be an issue, maybe the judges are the ones to blame for not having the guts to actually DQ people.
