In Response To: A case for clocks - fast rolling (Jim Allen)

I like the time aspect of clocks, and the associated requirement for greater match management skills by the participants. Nothing can be more boring and frustrating than playing a terribly slow match. With a clock, I don't have to worry or to be frustrated -- the opponent can do with his/her time as he/she wishes. I can be occupied by watching it tick down.

However, I like the effect on the mechanics of the game even more. No fast rolling, no disputed rolls.
