Post subject: reducing the time for one's playing Reply with quote

My proposal is linked to time wasting... I think the time one has to play should be DRAMATICALLY cut - 3 or even 5 times... cos there are "getting-on-nerves" players who, if loosing the game, begin slow it on purpose.

There are times when the extra time is useful though - when the server is dcing, when players are trading, for loo breaks and so on.

I would say though that with the generous time allowance we have, mods must enforce time-wasting rules (although players should also be patient and not accuse innocent players of time wasting).

I make the point about the need to enforce time wasting rules in this thread:

, but it seeems Bill has not been able to respond yet.

I understand how annoying time wasters are, but you need to understand that the reason you have playing time is to protect your points against DCs and emergencies. I believe that blatant time-wasting should be punishable, but it will be hard to enforce since its so hard to prove they weren't just DCed or they needed to do something important.


You should have been around when the cap on the playing time you got was 500 seconds. THAT got REALLY annoying when players left for 9 minutes to waste time.

I am not saying punish where it is ambiguous whether time wasting has ocurred. There is no need to refer to the potential problems of a long-standing policy we have seen working in action. Rather, a return that good old policy is what is needed.
