Kill limits encourages defence.
The time limit thing is interesting, it encourages faster games and could be cool for PuGs. Although some pugs (due to the lesser skilled players) can actually be fun for a good hour or so.
Depends on the comms etc though, some comms don't like running multiple games. However I'm one who would like smaller games (set times!) I can tell the wife "I WILL be 30 mins" and actually be it!
edit: and sorry for my sloppy reply Roy, I believe I brought that up a few years ago and was brought down for the reason I gave (I think...)

Those are fufi setts. And it's not useless DMing if you win the game doing it!fwiffo wrote:QUOTE (fwiffo @ Feb 3 2012, 06:37 AM) other alternatives include having a max kill limit. that's worked in the past and you'd think it might encourage useless dming but the opposite is true. people are not so dm happy and when they do so, they tend to help each other out more, like combat nanning.
QUOTE (Randall Munroe)14.2: Turkey consumption rate of the average American in milligrams per minute[/quote]
This thread can be summed up in the following.
Dorj: Good day sirs! I do suggest that we no longer condemn squad game resigns, or in more scientific terms, let us not call the losing team "pansy french coward noobs" for resigning a squad game; for it was a conscious decision made for the betterment of all!
Spidey: Sir, I must inquire as to how this suggestion changes anything for the pansy french coward noobs already resign squad games now! However, I must note that they surrender too quickly, for I have been in worse situations and like our great nation, "pulled myself out by my bootstraps." The pansy french coward noobs must learn to be more like us good ol' chaps!
Dorj: Despite you not contradicting any of my points, I accuse you of disagreeing with me. Come! Let us banter about the topic!
HSharp: I will deposit my two pennies in saying that resigns make me sad, for it does not feel like a complete victory, much like our victories in the United States Revolutionary war!
Dorj: Resigning a squad game benefits both sides. Beat that Spidey.
Girly: Come now! As a hard-line spectator, I must say that I prefer to see the entire game of football played out! If a team resigns just because they are down 2 points, it seems rather un-sportsmanly.
Cashto: I make a pointless post about how my squad intends not to lose
Elzam: I quote Cashto by reminding him that despite not intending to lose, we lost this weekend in the 3v1 SG.
Dorj: My suggestion still changes nothing but I'm going to state the obvious anyway!
Cookie: I will make a very reasonable neutral post, stating the tradition.
Dorj: NO ONE IS READING WHAT I TYPE!
Spidey: Dear me! Dorj, are you indeed engaging me to a battle of wits?
Dorj: Indubitably good chap!
Spidey: Very well then! I accept your challenge
Sindertone: The only good thing about this is when the winning team is just trolling like frenchmen.
Nightflame: Allegiance isn't football. There is no time limit where we would naturally call it quits!
Dorj: If a team resigns, there can be a second match! Think of the good times!
Spidey: Dorj, you are a pansy french coward noobs. Everyone here is. Like the good Queen of England I am, I have led my country to victory over the French many times, and I shall do it many more. The rest of you frenchmen need to learn to be more like me. Besides, it's not like people can't treat it like a sport and enjoy the game despite losing.
Dorj: As a proud SF member, I state that we never resign games ourselves despite never showing 10 players for a match. Rather, I just provoking discussion because I plan to resign at 9 minutes in the future and I don't want SF to be frowned upon for doing so. And my dear Spidey, please learn to read!
Elzam: I will sum up the assumption that Dorj is making!
Dorj: None of you are reading. I'm just saying that if the team decides to resign, it should be cool!
Rhino: Let's test the Queen of England. Next time she engages Germany, she should let Germany strike first in full force.
Spidey: We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be... And if you frenchmen could learn to fight for yourselves, you wouldn't need the English to save your hindquarters from every war! You're just suggesting this so you can surrender like the frenchmen you are without the rest of the world making jokes at your expense!
Dorj: You're not reading!
Spidey: I am now trolling you.
Brood: Despite Dorj's suggestion being rather slow, I must admit that the banter is most amusing! It is most reminiscent of Alien51 vs. Icky!
Spidey: Learn to read Dorj!
Dorj: Now I troll you!
Cookie: None of you are even discussing anything. This argument is about as clear as my plate of cookies is full.
Spidey: What is this I don't even
Dorj: You all are either not reading or over-reacting.
Spidey: Doesn't matter, you frenchmen suck. Learn to play before you play instead of play poorly and resign in 20 minutes.
Dome: Good show! This thread earns an A- due to the heightened curve!
MrC: I'm going to shut the windows and fart if you keep this up.
Spidey: You pansy french coward noobs resign when you're not beaten already!
Icky: If you're just going to be french, don't bother entering the war.
Spidey: I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.
Random dribble for the rest of the thread.
