DuBlanck Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Presumably this has been hashed out on Discord, but is there any guidance on what constitutes slow play? Particularly in reference to a player "taking up more than their fair share" of time? Edit to minimise thread clogging: @Maniacal_cackleI get that slow play can be controlled with polite social contract stuff, it was more what slow play actually is. How does the fair share thing align with e.g. Nekima elite-alpha V Nexus jam-swarm? Does this rule out those crews that have "stall the game" as a semi-win condition?

Particularly in reference to a player "taking up more than their fair share" of time? It's very subjective where you know it when you see it, but basically there's two aspects to it: Players should self-monitor. If we're honest with ourselves, we can usually catch ourselves when we're being slow. Something to watch out for - if you are having games that aren't finishing within the time limit, you probably aren't playing fast enough. You can ask your opponent to speed up if you think they're playing too slow. In the event that self-monitoring isn't good enough, the TOs (like Alcathous and myself) can step in (especially when requested). There's usually a fair bit more latitude for newer players, but generally you should be working towards completing the vast majority of your games in the (generous) time limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most 'fair' way to define how much time you are entitled to is half the time. It can get quite fiddly determinining exactly who is responsible for a given unit of time, but if you find yourself frequently having to define slow play, you probably need to speed up your game. It is unfortunately hard to define, unless we go with a strict system like chess clocks which seems a step too far. But the guiding principle is only half the time is yours. If you want to play a horde crew with 15 activations, you should be able to play against another crew of the same size and still finish the game. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
