"Newcomer-2013. Winter"

Guys, let me tell you this: this time limit was designed for the old SoD without the HD mod, where you had to move every unit with a separate click and split single units using Shift—not to mention that time continued to run until you pressed "OK." So, you already have a simplified version that saves your timer manifold. The fact that you're trying to emulate the "tops," as you put it, by adjusting the time limit and overthinking your actions is simply your own personal shortcoming... take one of the not-so-recent "newbies," Satyr, for example; he simply doesn't accept a time limit higher than 6-8 minutes, and even complains about those who are particularly slow to think, yet this doesn't stop him from winning Tournaments. Everything is in your hands; there's no need to pretend to be extraordinary strategists and tacticians when you find both the opponent's and your own turns insufficient for planning your moves. If we keep reasoning like that, we might as well go to unlimited time, which some especially "gifted" players occasionally request, and then games that should take 2 weeks end up lasting those same 2 weeks in real time. Don't let yourselves lapse into a state of amoebas; this isn't blitz or even the accelerated mode of the newly created Tournaments, yet you've still managed to complain here... shame on you!
