Why the anonymity? These people don't seem to be hiding from anyone. I don't understand what's so outrageous about playing SOD on the 8-minute mark. How is 8 minutes longer than 6? Most of the turn time is still spent on battles, where you can get stuck, think, and calculate, etc. Given that the game will last about 2 weeks, the time saved will be about an hour... And if we consider that we will play for fewer days on the 8-minute mark than on the 6-minute mark, that hour simply disappears.
The suggestion was made to play the game normally. Apparently, we have different ideas about what "normal" means. Although, it would have been better to play on the 2-minute mark, but with a mandatory condition: a maximum of 3 heroes. Why stretch the game by building chains of 8 heroes? And another mandatory condition: battles ONLY on quick battles, otherwise it takes too long.
