Right, but I can't go and deliberately say, everyone should try and be fast and
rule out other ways of playing the game. Hence, we recommend three minutes or
less, not we recommend you hurry the crap up because we're getting bored.
I would not call Steve a dink for wanting to use the full three minutes, that
honestly is his perogative. We want it to be shorter, but that's what we chose.
We also could have had a time limited round with "whoever gets the shortest game
possible" wins in a tie, but we're not doing that. Hence...
...oh wait, so, how are we going to weight ties, wins, first starts, second
starts etc?
