i take on average around 3 mins a turn depending on the situation, Yet still some ppl ask me to play faster. I can understand if i was using the extra time alot but i rarely touch it.
Should i hurry as asked or just carry on playing as normal?
If i hurry im prone to make mistakes as trying to rush.  |

play as normal. If you rush things, you make mistakes you wouldn't normally make.
the turn limit is 4 min, people just have to accept that. You are within your right to do 3 min turns  |

absolutely
Very slow players often say it in their personal or team bios. But 3 minutes per turn isn't even particularly slow... |

Well, for me I can sometimes get a little lost in my strategic thinking, especially after using certain herbal products so it´s ok if an opponents nicely asks me to play a bit faster (if it´s 3+ minutes every turn and no complicated situations). Some coaches play very fast and I can understand that they can get impatient. 3 minutes _do_ seem pretty normal to me though |

4 minutes is when you have to calculate everything yourself. Here, the client is doing that for you, and 4 minutes should never be exceeded.
3 is fine. |

3 minutes is normal? Sorry, I can't agree with that.
An average turn should be around 90 seconds in my opinion, but I'm willing to fork out more for, say, OTT attempts.
I would appreciate if you added to the bio you are as slow as you say, since that would help me avoid you when making game offers. |

there are some VERY slow players out there. I just wish they would avoid B - cos you can't avoid them. R is fine, as you can choose - if they alert you to it in their bios, as said above
the ones that really annoy me are the slow-java crew, who refuse to uninstall it! |

Angel that is quite rude sorry to say! You would appreciate if i added it? sorry but why should i? if i often go over 4 mins i could see how that is annoying but at only 3 mins a turn IF Its a tricky situation! I will never play a game if im in a rush! You have to remember not everyone can play as fast. I wont enjoy game if i have to rush every turn just to please the other coach.
You could always ask a coach when a game is offered if they play fast! |

Which part of expressing his opinion in a civilized way was rude? |

4 Minutes is the rule, so as long as you are under that, then you are fine.
I tend to take about 40 to 80 seconds for my turns, but my opponent can take as long as they like under the 4 minute rule.
The only time I make any comment is when a coach goes over 4 minutes a couple of times, when I ask if they can try and keep their turn within the 4 minute rule and even then I don't mind if they go a little over on a very tactical turn.
You could put something in your bio I guess, but since this is Blackbox, there seems little point. |

3 minutes is fine. Once you get more experienced you will play faster.
@WG|Dark_Angel: 90 seconds? That is slow man... will you please say that in your bio so I can avoid you? |

i wouldn't have problem playing you if you took 3 mins a turn - when an oppenent gets the time out whistle a couple of times i will probably comment on them needing to speed up. |

It's easy to get impatient when playing, I prefer a fast game rather than a slow. But having experienced really slow TT games (my opponent using 10-15 minutes a turn), I've grown used to it. Anyway, play the speed you want to, and as long as you keep within the assigned 4 minutes, noone should have reason to complain. |

I'm also not the quickest player, and I think it is really annoying when people ask me to hurry several times during a game. I almost only play private League games and R-tournament games, so it doesn't help much if I write in my bio that I'm a slow player.
If the R-tournaments are only supposed to be for very quick players, then set the time limit down. Otherwise please let me use the 3-4 minutes per turn that I'm allowed, and that I will need until I get more experienced.
I understand that some players want to play fast normal Ranked (not tournaments) games, but if it annoys you to play slow opponents then you could ask your opponent if he's fast before you set up the game. |
