I still don't understand why Cylock did this. Like, he must have had a reason, but I just don't understand how the variance helps anything.
I believe the stated reason was to discourage/eliminate having an army log in on the spawn 30 seconds prior to pop and having a click fiesta.

there has been an army every day that weve had to fight tooth and nail who cited the fact that variance SHOULD make it a click fiesta, so that reasoning effectively had the opposite effect if that was the reasoning.

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Even if it has variance, you can schedule a roll for when he gets into window. Everyone who is less than the roll can get the heck out.

Can we at least go back to 10 or 15 seconds? The 5 second thing just doesn't sit well with me.

Why? 5 seconds was a compromise with people that wanted to click to avoid AFKers

If they are ok with a timer at all, why must it be 5 seconds? Why is 10 so objectionable?

I say roll at the start of the window. Winner can stay and wait for it, then reports when it popped, losers can go do something else.

Makes the most sense to me, tbh.

An instant roll isn’t really something that would be enforceable. Thus 5 seconds. And check the other thread. I’m trying to appease both sides and make it palletable based on the feedback and discussions that have been had.

But, rly, what makes a 5 second roll ok but a 10 second roll questionable?
