I don't play with people who would do that, thanks anyway.

And that is the sad portion of all of this. Ppl just stop attending or become neglicent and throw 1-liners whenever they feel like it.

I really don't know what's the big deal about taking this matter into closer evaluation. All the sudden things are just flamed up. Why in the god's name ppl don't react like this when it comes to erratas and rulings and making expansion sets?

Is Judge/Player- behaviour a taboo or something so ppl can throw verbal bombs at each other? And all this happens online so it is too easy to be black-and-white while pushing the narcissism- button on.

If played at competitive level all games should have means to repair its flaws no matter how stubborn, whiny or progressive the players are.

Just my two cents.

I don't know if you realize it, but miguel and I are friends and we're just ribbing each other.

Oh i know, it's not just the 2 of u, used it as an example. However, the result is that imo.

This thread was about a time limit for Nations Cup 2009. The tournament is already underway, so there's really nothing further to discuss about that.

Taking what into closer evaluation? That some people take more time during a game than others? That some people might stall to gain an advantage (at a timed event) or to annoy the opponent? If you feel something other than the time limit for NC '09 needs to be discussed, please start a new thread for it.

Judge/Player- behaviour? Now you've lost me.

Sometimes the flaw is in the player, not the game.
