at the whole, i agree, but wouldn't implement it a too limiting round-maximum in the tourneys. sometimes a fight can last 50+ rounds and that's ok then. but a limit of (idk) 100 rounds in the tourneys to stop the proxy games would be great.

other than that, tables with lower round limits could be indeed fun in terms of new strategys.


do i think ryan cares? lol no ;)

I agree...but just for tourneys and just 100 rounds.

PanzerRed, tell me, how often do you play games with 100 rounds? I can´t even remember the last game i played 1x1 for more than 20 rounds.
The only people in 2020 who likes games with 100 rounds or more, are proxies.
Just think about it.

it's not that i particularly like games that last 50+ rounds, but long and good fights happen, so to have a little buffer i suggested the 100 round limit. still better than no limit.

let it be 70 or 80, idk.

I don't keep track of how many rounds a game usually goes. I just checked the most recent game on KDice though and it was 31 rounds.

And I do remember playing games where it went to 50 or 60 rounds. It often happens in tourneys where people flag and then 3 and 4 have a long battle while 1 and 2 are on opposite sides and sit and wait. Then 4th loses and 3rd flags out and a long battle for 1 begins with both sides having 8 lands each and +32.

So if the purpose is just to stop the bivo proxies from doing their nefarious tourney-stalling, then 100 rounds will be sufficient. 100 rounds of auto-end probably takes a few minutes. That's not a long wait. And if the 100-round rule is implemented, bivo probably won't even auto-end turn anymore anyway, because it won't be worth it.

Panzer, even 100 rounds is too much. Because after the game is over, most players who joined the tourney are gone.
