Doesn't completely solve the problem, but it'll help and should be relatively easy to implement.<br />
<br />
I'd like a separate ELO-format DT room that does NOT affect your <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php?show=elo">ELO</a> rating (like the ELO-format <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/game/rules.php?show=survivor">Survivor</a> room), which should reduce the number of slow players in that room. It also means that there is a viable DT room where you don't meet Jackie every other game. <link href="http://s.ccdn.ur-img.com/css/sprites/smileys.css?v=1318423583" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/><br />

<br />
As someone based in Asia with a somewhat slow connection, I'm not in favour of arbitrarily shortening the time allowed; as it is, there have been a few occasions where I've made a move with more than half the time bar remaining, but lagged out to incur an undeserved -20 penalty. This has happened to me few enough times that I can accept it as a consequence of unfortunate geography, but if the time allowed is shortened too much, people like me may lag out so often that UR becomes unplayable.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (UmExcuseMe)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[PriMinizZztA]]></title><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jun 2010 23:06:07 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[First of all there is enough penatly for using banned cards in DT already ( type 1 or 2 ) <br />
<br />
Secondly the use of CR's is not a threatening situation , the best CR's are banned as are the best cards in the game.<br />
<br />
Third the stallers , this can be easily tackled , just shorten the time for each round at the beginning of the tournament so the players who actually are running for top 1/3 or top hundred have the least problems then with slowplay, an ocassional slowplayer in the middle isnt nearly as frustrating as one in the beginning, i feel. <br />
<br />
Penalty the slowplayer dont reward the person winning with more points since then someone actually learns something when not playing fast. Increase the pace of the rounds when someone takes too much time. and make the 1 credit submissable to the play style , too much slow play , get out without any credit and take your clints , nice pace ? Go ahead you get rewarded for that. <span class="sprite-smileys mini1_good iepng"></span>]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (PriMinizZztA)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[UE_cherrkoola]]></title><pubDate>Mon, 31 May 2010 18:06:13 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Dont ban crs thats would mess up my <a class="clanLink clanID_3" href="/characters/list.php?show=3">Montana</a> and upppers deck]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (UE_cherrkoola)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[DS_coolasc]]></title><pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 16:01:59 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Hated END_Zack's idea of a 26-28* room, remember the higher gap u have between deck/chars the higher amount of points u get for winning, so yes, i love fighting full 5* decks using my low star ones when trying for the top, the best win (points wise) u can have is probably a full 2-3* vs a max(10 chars) deck with all 5*, and a plus on that is many who make these decks make them using most powerful cards, but not worried with clans, which means most lose the great bonus of many chars giving u an extra chance]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (DS_coolasc)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Koliform]]></title><pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 08:53:20 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Ask fast is fun]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Koliform)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[XmarksthespoT]]></title><pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 04:17:48 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[I hate playing dt in T1.. lots of slow players<span class="sprite-smileys mini1_devil iepng"></span>]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (XmarksthespoT)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wakshaani]]></title><pubDate>Sat, 29 May 2010 01:12:42 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[First and foremost?<br />

Ban CR characters from the Type 1 DT.<br />

From there, a slow move to make overpowered cards into CRs will gradually thin the herd for new players as Jackie, <a href="http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=166" class="characterLink characterID_166">Zatman</a>, and so on are phased into Type 2 only cards.<br />

The game will draw in more players and type 2 gains more 'specialness' as it's where you can go to see the CR people in action.]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Wakshaani)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[SoPunny-Zack]]></title><pubDate>Fri, 28 May 2010 21:13:26 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Thats good :O but it just gives time-outers or stallers an opportunity to max out their abilities -.-]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (SoPunny-Zack)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rob_Lucci]]></title><pubDate>Thu, 27 May 2010 13:58:07 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Put a timer where numbers are seen so we can be sure of how much time we have..]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (Rob_Lucci)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[SoPunny-Zack]]></title><pubDate>Wed, 26 May 2010 19:32:07 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Like the time-out idea, but maybe they can make a different room?

i like the gain points if opponent times out, and the shorter times its always annoying when you go up agaisnt someone and they screw up so bad that the only way to win is you screw up and they end up making the count down go down to red on each turn before they play]]></description><guid><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></guid><author><![CDATA[no-reply@urban-rivals.com (lightball20)]]></author><comments><![CDATA[http://www.urban-rivals.com/community/forum/?mode=viewsubject&id_subject=1437814&language=2]]></comments></item><item><title><![CDATA[-innocence-X]]></title><pubDate>Thu, 20 May 2010 13:38:56 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Glowstick that was stupid <span class="sprite-smileys mini1_tongue iepng"></span><br />
