List of Turtles

Little time to play, then always meet turtles. This makes me wanna quit playing this game as there's no rule against making a move in lets say 14 minutes. Been there many times now....

Some of the players who stalk time when behind big time:
1. Solidsnake
2. Maximus
3. Chess

I will add some more people to this list as i have forgotten a few of them turtles.

Thank you turtles for making this game last until f****ng christmas!

hi wellington,

i spoke with Maximus about your post. he told me, that he won the game and
this is also in the list. he said, that even good players must think some
times in a game and that is normal. i think noone denies this.

did he win, because you left the game, or was it a normal win?

in your post you wrote the players were behind with pieces, so i thougt
you win.

maybe we can bring some light into this.

greetings
Stratego

I lost this game indeed. This game lasted more than 1 hour. Maximus needs to think between 30 seconds and 2 minutes for every move. And I mean EVERY move. So I learned my lesson and will never play this guy no more.

Im not that good, only 12th place or so, but i dont need that much time for every move. Should be forbidden.

During the game against maximus i was working, making phonecalls and making a prospect. I mean I had plenty of time in between. I would be better of just giving up, but I dont do that. Instead I kept on playing, well playing.... making moves.

Should be an option for people who like to play a little faster.... no more than 5 seconds for a move!

There are 217 other active players who would want to change places with you Wellington. Consider 12th place a gift from god, using your skilled talent. I agree with your comments about slow play. Anyone taking more than 1 "break" for a phone call, or the roof caving in, or the wife bitchin, needs to come to grips with their losing place in the game and just give up.

Maybe Spion can have a seperate page were yu can manual put yr name in a catorgary to play Classic, or make it a option when joining the club what style of play yu wish.

Fast= Wellington
Medium= Jerry
Thinking=Cyprus.

Some players have put me to sleep with their movements, been used to it since the Hasbro CD, the speed in the game over graphics never equalled.

It may save some argument here, as the player may want to look up one's prefered game play, hence a reason to play, or get frustrated!

Just a Thought.

Cheers Jerry.
