What would be the optimal time setting for an espionage tourney that woudl promote fast play yet would not punish people for being average movers. i thought about a 10 day limit with 6-8 hours bonus plus a 5 day bank. and no vacation enabled. What does everyone think or suggest?
Nothingness: 6-8 hours will "punish" average movers. And it will even punish one of the players for being in the wrong timezone.
Considering players come from all over the globe, a bonus of at least 24h/move is required to be fair on all players. Regardless of max. pool time. And regardless of the game being played - be it Espionage or anything else.
If you set up a new game with bonus time the default setting is 7 days to start with a 1 day bonus per move and a 15 day maximum for time allowed.
I think that's a very reasonable time control because:
1. Overall game time is roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of the normal 3 day per move limit. Longer games, those that cause scheduling headaches, will be close to 1/3. An 80 move game would have a max length of 174 days compared to 480 days using a 3 day limit.
2. Players needing time-off can usually "bank it" if they plan ahead and avoid time-outs.
3. Anything shorter than 24 hours for the bonus time runs into possible timing issues. E.g. Player A logs in 8pm ET each day and moves and Player B logs in 9pm ET each day and moves. Player A will lose time every move against Player B and often be at risk of timing out even though they both have comparable schedules.
