Action timer in combat.

And I'm not talking, I'm trying to reason.

I already don't know how to talk

A paradox.

and it's better to be a dead-end drunkard than a stupid upstart

Could we get a full ranking from Halat? Something like moron>fool etc. and post this opus in the "funny and amusing situations" thread, because it's already dying off..

But to get to the point, I don't know why my IMO offends you so much, which I state in my posts when I want to show my personal attitude on a given issue, maybe the meaning of that word is unclear to you and you take it purely personally. Or the fact that the great Halat isn't shown due deference and his every word isn't hung on, for the fact that he brought in unreal tournaments for 16 vacationing people a couple of times (though I by no means diminish the merits of those 16, either as people or as players), while online he continues to consistently crash and burn from tournament to tournament.
But as they say, a stranger's soul is a dark forest.

IMO, such a timer is death for Inferno like Castle, which isn't very popular as it is.

I wouldn't say that; in my opinion, it's more related to the fact that it's not popular and the mechanics for this town are polished only by a small fraction of people — hence the stupid games, IMO.
By the way, I remember playing about a year ago, when the chess timer wasn't official yet, with dark HLki 8+8+1; by weeks 3-4 both consistently had about an hour. We played SMS with a jurist at 6+6+1, or 10+6+1, there was no real time pressure on either side. But the interest and brainpower noticeably livened up, which even had a positive effect on the game.
The only timer that sometimes ran out on me was the timer in hungry games on Jebus Cross 1v1v1v1 (16+6+1), and even then more because I was streaming games and playing in HC :).
