Strongly disagree with 7 days, that needs to be a site level meta change, newbie games should reflect the rest of mafiascum and 7 day deadlines don't do that. 10 Days is reasonable, but it's still not what the rest of the site uses
I think 30 hours is a little harsh considering the rest of the site uses 48 hour deadlines... why should we be more strict about replacing newbies when they probably came to the site for the longer deadlines?
The math is sound in theory but where it fails is that it replaces out newbies who would otherwise enjoy 48 hour prod timers, while the whole idea was player retention, I think?

Given that this change was spurred by survey and anecdotal feedback, can I ask where you are getting your feedback for opposition?
This is not a hard set change, but something that is being done based on the playerbase. I am always open to change for the better. I prefer for it to have some data behind it.
Where is this survey of new players/prod timers or what were the results?

Newbie queue isn't the place to experiment new site mechanics
Yeah but if you dont, how are you going to know whats best for newbie queue
I mean don't test things that haven't been used in other places on site in the newbie queue, it's not the place for it. You can start by implementing it in theme games, normal games, open games, etc. If nobody wants it then it doesn't belong in the newbie queue either

Also, once again, 99% of the site doesn't use this feature so the newbie queue shouldn't be anyone's "test zone", it shoudl represent the rest of the site
What happens when newbies who like the newbie queue shorter deadlines realize that 95%+ of the site uses 14 day deadlines? It's essentially false advertising
