I think we'll go with the old 2-hour time limit Root had had, unless there is significant call for shorter time limits.  I hope players let me know what they think of time limits for future ROOTs as they play this ROOT.

i think it would be cool to stick to 45 minute games like nationals t1 games
Title: Re: August/September Root Sign-Up
Post by: kram1138 on August 12, 2015, 06:33:07 PM
I think 45 might be a little short, since using lackey is a little slower than in person. Maybe 1 hour?

45 minutes has always been generally regarded as too short, as there are certain abilities that take more time online than in person. However, that was back in RTS days, Lackey might make some of those things easier (i still have yet to use it very often). Still, I'd probably say that an hour time limit is probably better initially, and it could be modified as needed for future tourneys. But I'll leave that to the lobster to determine.

In any case, I'm in.

Root is a commitment to one game a week right? If that's what it is I am in next month. Too much crazy stuff to get any scheduled games in this week or next.

I'm in.

I think either an hour or an hour and 15 min would be best.

So far,  4 people have commented that they support shorter time limits, of 7 current participants.  Do the other 3 have a preference?  I myself would be fine putting it at an hour time limit, and was just using the old 2 hour time limit because that is what ROOT had used.
Title: Re: August/September Root Sign-Up
Post by: wyatt_marcum on August 13, 2015, 07:03:31 PM
I'd say if shorter, do an  1 1/4-1 1/2 hour. but I think that using the 2 hour for this month to get a feel for time needed in general would be a good idea.

I'm game! No preference on time limit.

Also, I will make an effort during the tournament to be logged-in for Lackey in case of any ruling questions during the evenings.  Feel free to message me if you need a judge to pop in.

Does anyone want to join to make us even (so that jbeers can play since he already volunteered to drop)?  Round 1 pairings will go up this afternoon.

Any possibility of doing it Ironman-style?

The last time ROOT went an Ironman style, about 2 games total that month got played, so I don't think it is best to do that here.

I really want to but really have had zero experience with Lackey. I have it all loaded but have never played a game on it.
