The short answer, as with any of the player agreements, is that it's what all the players would agree to.

For the longer answer ... you have to keep in mind that when Shady and Angry were first added to P99, they were a clickfest. To get the current player agreements in place, several players (myself included) had to lobby everyone who showed up for the click fest (before the goblin spawned) and convince them to agree to a roll.

It was not easy: for days we had most people wanting to roll, but a few holdouts who refused (and as long as anyone refused, we had no agreement). To get those last holdouts to agree, we gave them "concessions" ... and IIRC the short time was one such concession (although it's been years now so I don't remember for certain).

But, all that's needed to change it is ... for everyone at the camp to agree to do so (for a few days in a row).

Ahhhh that is enlightening thank you! It surprises me that people would do that to themselves and/or others, but I appreciate that we all have different priorities and expectations in this game and in life!

when many people show up and say the 10 second rule is terrible maybe it should change. imagine being the type of person who enforces a 10 seconds roll law on people that have sat at the camp for a hours. dumb af.

This definitely seems frustrating. Rules are rules, but it sounds like a frustrating rule. If someone fumbles their mouse, typos their /random, hits their wrong /random macro, etc. they're going to be SOL.

I realize that may very well be part of the intent of a 10 second rule (ie, it heavily favors those who can actively sit and look at their screen for the full window and discourages wimps like me from even showing up in the first place), but it doesn't seem like a very reasonable timeframe to roll IMHO. Even 20 seconds would allow some small margin of error (don't get me wrong - i'm still not doing it at 20 seconds [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

I think they should all be 10 seconds. Pay attention, if you can't, that item isn't for you.

the bad thing about angry is... i dont think anyone look his screen for 8 hours doing nothing at angry, most people use gina wich is a third party program to come back as the first person roll. i think it favorise third party program users

While I am all for a longer roll (like 20 seconds) I think the crusade against GINA afk'ers is not really true...

Never used GINA never will... Ive also never "missed" a Angry roll that I have been at...

Sure it will happen one day when I am in the bathroom or something but oh well....

Its called have multiple computer monitors and watch a show or play a different game for the window... If you cant notice a goblin spawn and a huge wave of red text rolls on the other monitor not sure what to tell ya...

Just log in , turn on Gina to detect roll text

Literally don't tab in and win for free

I'm disappointed, I thought this would be about increasing the length/time of the spawn window, there isn't nearly enough suffering at the moment, lets double the spawn window so people can really suffer, it's the P99 way!

Triple every window, make raid mobs +- 24 hours, make folks make worse life choices for pixels, Brad would be proud.

Blue server boards are so stale the quoted post has been its leader board for literally two weeks.

Consider red 2.0 folks.
