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.

kariusvega · « **Reply #5 on:** August 12, 2015, 06:26:55 PM »

i think it would be cool to stick to 45 minute games like nationals t1 games

kram1138 · « **Reply #6 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.

I'm in. are the new cards gonna be in Lackey by then?

jbeers285 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2015, 12:17:58 AM »

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.

KingLeo · « **Reply #10 on:** August 13, 2015, 01:11:54 AM »

yo Im in!

Red · « **Reply #11 on:** August 13, 2015, 01:12:55 AM »

I'll try to play, count me in.

The Guardian · « **Reply #12 on:** August 13, 2015, 02:12:19 AM »

I'm in.

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

Drrek · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2015, 03:29:49 PM »

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.

wyatt_marcum · « **Reply #14 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.

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #15 on:** August 14, 2015, 12:50:12 AM »

I'm game! No preference on time limit.

kariusvega · « **Reply #16 on:** August 14, 2015, 12:37:36 PM »

I'm in and I echo Wyatt on timing.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2015, 10:29:59 PM »

kariusvega · « **Reply #21 on:** August 16, 2015, 01:30:56 PM »

Jaydog1616 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 16, 2015, 02:24:38 PM »

Hmm..you've got my attention. Would love to know more though.

**EDIT**
I won't be able to make it. My entire week is pretty jammed, the busiest days being Wednesday and Sunday. But I may participate next time!

Reth · « **Reply #23 on:** August 17, 2015, 03:43:08 PM »

Gr8 to see its back! Unfortunately I will not be able to join - we will be on vacation.

But hopefully next time!

Red · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2015, 08:48:30 PM »

I'll have to drop, college is a thing.

jbeers285 · « **Reply #25 on:** August 17, 2015, 10:11:43 PM »

I can be out or in to make us even

Redoubter · « **Reply #26 on:** August 17, 2015, 10:13:05 PM »

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.

Drrek · « **Reply #27 on:** August 19, 2015, 01:59:09 AM »

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.

The Guardian · « **Reply #28 on:** August 19, 2015, 02:55:30 AM »

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.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #30 on:** August 19, 2015, 09:26:15 AM »

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.

pilgrim14 · « **Reply #31 on:** August 19, 2015, 10:30:28 AM »

I'll be in, if its not too late.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #32 on:** August 19, 2015, 11:12:31 AM »

Let Pilgrim have the spot. I will try to catch up with JD sometime to play some practice rounds.
