Friday Night. Will there be blood?

Wife's out for a meal so i'll probably be online about 9:30 PM or so (UK time) if anyone fancies a game.

I've really enjoyed BB, but I think the matches run too long. I suppose we put in too much thinking time / move 

[Raveen]

Yeah, I think it works best as a board game with plenty of interaction between the players. Also it'd be ideal to be able to save a MP game at half time.

We could I guess try 3 or 2 minute turns and see how well that plays?

The half time save would be a nice feature. Much easier to find 15 - 20 min to play half a match in.

We really could re-start the league with 2 min rules. I'd be game.

[Mordechaj]

me too

I think the options are 4 mins, 2 mins or 40 seconds. I'll have a look sometime soon. Not today though as it's my "no PC games" day. Good to have one every week.

I know I was guilty of using up the full 4 minutes quite often. Perhaps 2 minute turns will increase the tension/excitement a bit too.

[Adept]

Can we get the current teams out of the league, and use them in a new 2 min league, or do we need to start over?

[Raveen]

I don't know if we can edit the current league. I don't think you can port teams between leagues.

Having logged on, I can confirm that I was correct. 

I have now successfully altered the league rules for 2 minute turns.

I could also, if people wanted, let people decide which of the 3 options they wanted at game time. I don't know if that would lead to more trouble than it's worth though. Perhaps a seperate 40 second league could be an idea.

About porting teams - although I think it's irrelevant now, it might be possible. There is an option for "new teams only" when setting league rules so presumably you can import teams from somewhere.

Good work Gandy! Shows how long it's been since I looked at the League stuff

Awesome!

Somebody poke me on Steam when you want a match.

[Adept]

Has anybody had a match with the shorter rounds yet?
