Re: Time change for online-SWOS?
I was thinking about how we could improve the online action. And then I came across the thread of Sensible Days 2005. We used to play 5 mins all the time on offline tournaments. So we just took it over and selected 5mins as standard for online games in 2003 with Sega, then later Amiga online. OOO, cups and leagues...
But now, that we changed to 3mins in 2005 for Offline Tournaments, i.e. Sensible Days, I think it is a huge improvement.
Reasons why 3 mins is better:
- Results are more unpredictable
- No ridiculous score of for example 11-3 or whatever...
- Underdogs have bigger chances to win obviously
- SWOS standard time is...3mins!
- We play in 2 legs anyway. Leagues, most cups and also ooo games are played with the famous re??
In my opinion we should come as close as possible to Offline standard . That was also the reason for us to invent the tactic disc and changed to Equal off ! But please no comments about this here, there are enough other threads. Stay on topic please...

3 min for sure is the best for me, better chances for weak players (like me) to teke something form the best players
P.S Offline Rulzzzzz
but i think, the 5mins are ok,...3mins are to fast, and i dont think the speed of games will change because of that...
Well not the speed. But remember, many times the underdogs lead by 1-0 or have 1-1 draw. The longer the game the more likely the favorite will win.
3mins bring a fresh wind!
i only remeber my games vs top ten....i alyways lost in 90mins...dont matters if 5 min or 3min
How do you know if you never tried 3mins? (I mean ranked matches, ooo or league)
In my opinion, this wil reduce creativity, ofcourse, i might be wrong...
What is creativity? This word is not defined. Creativity can also be to lead by 1-0 and defend the lead with defense-tactic.
