"8 minute wait"

Jan 20, 2018 by Yoshitomi
When I check the blogs page and see an essay blog which is structured with paragraphs and has decent grammar and punctuation, I'll give it a read.
   
I don't play Frookies so I'm not up to date on these premades. I usually only find out they even exist when a member leaves or someone is calling them out.
   
However, if I'm understanding this right, AshleyIocco is no longer friends with someone...because they like to wait 8 minutes to nominate as HoH?
   
You can't wait 8 minutes? 8 minutes gives everyone a chance to compete for PoV, right?
   
8 minute wait is not ruining the structure of the game, it's how the game is designed.
   
A long game has a 12/24 hour wait, and you're comparing that to an 8 minute wait?
   
Waiting 8 minutes is nothing, there's so much you can do in that time.
   
This is not me taking a side - I really am not interested in anyone involved in the drama.
   
This is me remembering the horrible mails, death threats and comments I got because I walked away from Tengaged at the start of a Duel.
   
Because my mum was ill.
But because people could not handle waiting, I came back to just awfulness.
This is a solid reminder that people are still as impatient as they were in the old days.
   
I'm sure there's more to your story, Ashley, but that's all you mentioned in the blog. That 8 minutes is too long. 🤦🏽

Okay, but eight minutes multiplied by like eight HoHs is over an hour. They could easily save at least 40 minutes per game. Given that games take long to start and people have lives, this can be annoying.

Further, what about voting to evict and PoVs? They're gonna delay though, too. Same with renominations.

Loopspeare But it's still minutes compared to days. Why can't people handle that these games can last what...2 hours total (not including jury vote) if no one votes?

Yoshitomi that's pretty much the only reason she gave me too. We never fought, never went after each other, I alway supported her to the best of my abilities, but she still claim I am inconsiderate. But to be fair, the 8 min wait IS annoying lol.

I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it’s not just noms. They purposely wait the full 8 minutes with every part, which makes each full round take about 20 minutes, when it takes about 8 or 9 minutes with a normal cast. It more than doubles the game length, which makes people leave because they get bored and then they don’t nom inactives because it’s “not good for their game”. So basically they take a 1 1/2 hour game and make it like 2 1/2 - 3 hour game AND they don’t even respect the people who stay to play for that whole time. It’s ridiculous and it definitely does fuck with the structure of the game haha.
