personally I'd like to see a time expiration added. ever since the 10 buffer mins were added, 99.9% of the time it was used was due to finishing a slow turn that the coach struggled tactically through, not for emergencies like it was intended. time expiration is officially a turnover in the rules (at least wiht lrb4) for a reason.
that being said, I totally understand there is an "easier said then coded" issue as well as it's more up to Kalimar et al. whatever they produce I'll be fully appreciative and thankful for. you guys rock! |

Personally, I'd like to see proper capitalization and punctuation. Ever since people began posting from hand-held devices, 99.9% they couldn't be bothered to capitalize, not enlighten us from exotic locales as was intended. Capitals at the beginning of a sentence are required (at least in English) for a reason.
That being said, I love Arktoris, and there is the issue of me wanting to maintain his friendship. Whatever he posts I will read and not be critical. Arktoris rocks! |

Hmmm ... if a timer is brought into play, then I would like to see this important part of the rules implemented:
(page 7, CRP)
"A coach that suffers a turnover is not allowed to take any further Actions that turn, and any Action taken ends immediately ... and then the opposing coach may start to take his turn."
So, there is no automatism between one player ending his turn and the other one starting his. Indeed, "each coach ... must move the Turn marker ... at the start of each and every one of his turns".
This action is what starts the 4 minute timer. |

Hmm... Sorry to butt in, but I think I read people talking about multiple issues here. My hypothesis about the current discussion subjects is:
Gotte: Somebody lead me to believe I can take overtime, but sneakily aborted my turn at the worst moment. I am pissed and feel that I've been lead on. I would have played faster if I had realised this possibility of entrapment.
Some others: Play takes too long / Not long enough / I like pie very much, even on somebody else's face.
If so, then:
@Gotte: I feel your pain, I am a quite slow player myself. I hope I have gained a little speed while playing on FUMBBL. Next time you will beat the bastidge. It will get better. 
If I interpreted the discussion wrong, then by all means - what sort of pies do you have in stock, Macavity? |

I was pretty sure we were talking about Spiro's post of the year, but to answer your question: None. |

Pies do not survive in the presence of Macavity. |

What is it that makes it so hard to find a decent garlic press? I have bought three or four of these in the past few years and not a single one works well enough for me to consider it a keeper. Sure, they might be easy to use, but then they will be hard to clean, or vice versa. Thoughts?
On topic: I can see why some people would like a reminder of this type, and if one was included I might even use it myself. I would like it to be an optional feature though. |

Pretty much needs to be steel. I'm guessing you don't have Lee Valley stores in Sweden..... Nothing with any plastic bits will crush pythrr's gonads properly.
Or were you meaning for use with garlic? |

As far as I know we have no Lee Valley stores in Sweden, but then I've never seen pythrr gonads on sale either. So yes, I use garlic in my cooking... |
