Chess timer: step 3. Starting time. Also fairies and RR. 6 polls in one thread!

I don't have enough time to dedicate to the forum right now, so I can only manage the most essential tasks.

The poll has indeed ended, but you can still vote. Perhaps your vote will be the deciding one.

No, after the poll closes, it is no longer possible to vote. At the top, under the polls with deadlines, the closing time of the poll is always indicated. Right now, it says:

Poll with multiple choices. Voters: 65. This poll is closed.

Let's summarize the results.

Firstly, we found out that it is still not possible to upgrade faeries, because they are overpowered, because they are blue.
Now I know what to answer to the permanent question from our players about upgrading faeries. I will immediately provide a link to this poll. 36 votes against, 25 - in favor of lifting the ban. 59% : 41%.
Of course, it makes no sense to talk about lifting the remaining bans in Flaxe.

Secondly, the forum's opinion on red-rushing on XL+U templates has changed. 39 players (64%) voted to lift the ban, and 22 players (36%) voted to keep the ban. Therefore, I have made amendments to our rules:

II.2.1.1. On all templates, except for XL+U size templates, red-rush is prohibited:...

and

III.2. XL+U size templates...
...
Clarification:
Red-rush is allowed.

The changes are highlighted in red.
When the opportunity arises, we will also consider some other templates.

Thirdly, the last parameter of the chess timer has been determined.

The results are:
on XL+U templates (8mm6a, 8xm12a, 6lm10a, Spider, Nostalgia) - 57 votes - 21.05 minutes.
on the Jebus Cross XL-U template - 59 votes - 23.73 minutes.
on Diamond, Mini-Nostalgia, Anarchy templates - 55 votes - 19.02 minutes.
on 2SM4d(3), balance, Panic templates - 57 votes - 16.00 minutes.

Thus, our timer looks like this:

for XL+U templates (8mm6a, 8xm12a, 6lm10a, Spider, Nostalgia) - 21m + 8m + 1m15s
for the Jebus Cross XL-U template - 24m + 8m30s + 1m30s
for Diamond, Mini-Nostalgia, Anarchy templates - 19m + 8m + 1m15s
for 2SM4d(3), balance, Panic templates - 16m + 6m30s + 1m

I will enter these values into the rules. Players can agree on another time that is acceptable to both, however, if an agreement cannot be reached, these values will be set by default.
I will finish writing the rules for games using the chess timer a little later, when I finally resolve my computer problems. And this will definitely happen before the start of the Favorites games. And we will open registration in the coming days.
