Because people didn't know what this thread was suggesting. Now that it is correct, it is obviously pulling in more traffic.

this is a great idea, And I would play speed games again if this started... I think ppl quit playing speeders because sometimes they can take 1 hr for 8 man esc. :-S

this could be a revenue generator too if ppl started playing speeders again.

I don't like the idea of an option that requires a third-party script to play. Other than a couple maps, 1-minute games can't be done w/o clickies.

I know, I know..."I don't have to play it". But it seems like another way for people to farm points by mastering a routine instead of a strategy (e.g. freestyle).

its not our fault (speed players) that clickable maps isn't a site feature. maybe now with the new web developer it might get done

I never said it was anyone's fault. Just pointing out that 1-minute games would require an extra download, which I'd guess a large percentage, if not a majority of players wouldn't know about.

true but that's why its an option for people that do want to play 1 min games. Also whats wrong with mastering a map? i see nothing wrong in specializing.

I think the Database, service and architecture of the site needs an overhaul. Hosts should be able to specify the length of the rounds!

This should be modularized properly and stored as seconds in the DB.

Queries should use ranges to determine what round length you're looking for. Default options should be the current 5 and 60 min. Turn length and maximum time to begin turn should be specifiable.

The system should do a lot more

We need some serious requirements engineering in here. If anyone from mods wants to talk to me, I can potentially get a team of 3-4 developers to help work on this and via a program at the university I study at, next year they could be working on this for free. It does take some paper work to make it happen though, so whomsever is in charge should let me know
