Time question?

[GendryStorm]

Newbies tend to abandon outwitters because most are unaware of the default time out. I hope the timed game option is implemented,i think it's necessary in order to attract and retain new blood. All my placement opponents quit the game before making any turns, presumably because they're impatient with the time control. They've been out-waited, not outwitted.

On the issue of 'waiting out a losing position', i find it less of a problem in higher tiers. No one likes to prolong one's agony, while a few would simply take their time to find the most correct/tricky defense.
