If you, The, love a shorter timer so much, arrange to play with it. Don’t lump everyone together. In a drawn-out game on XL or Jebus Cross, even Yurist—who clicks like a rabbit—can waste half an hour on a turn. There’s m200 or Funky for blitz; I’m a slowpoke and don’t want to play like a StarCraft player.

Actually, I’m already leaning against this change, because it’s better to spend an extra half hour once a month than to play at 5 seconds per turn after yet another vote. And it’s not about The, but about newcomers and viewers who just want a faster game.
