The SOD timer has probably been tested in tens of thousands of SOD games.
Now that I've started playing W&T, the SOD timer looks incredibly clunky. I played a couple of games with a timer of 1500+400! I had plenty of time – the timer was sufficient for 8mm6a. But those terrible turns that took 20-30 minutes made me step away from large SOD setups for a while... Now I only play 8mm6a in W&T. And I play M&M in SOD. And even in M&M, people took 15-20 minutes per turn – it's awful...
And with each new level, it becomes a shame to waste time, even on a favorite game.
P.S.: I don't think many people took the WCG idea seriously. Wicc's idea was simply that if someone sets specific rules and tasks, people will accept them and play. If necessary, even without any rules at all and with a 2-minute timer. :D
