Shorter deadlines question for the community

[callforjudgement]

I might be willing to play a game with deadlines shorter than 14 days.

much

shorter than 14 days, though. The way that days can develop over time and give out more information over time is one of the key advantages of this site.

The difficulty is trying to find a moderator who has enough time, I think.

I can see the demand, but am unlikely to run a short-phase game simply because I doubt I could do things like flips and vote counts quickly enough to make a game going at that sort of speed playable.

Oh, I slightly misread your post. 10 or 7 days is likely fine and I think already allowed.

If someone tried to run a Blitz Normal, I wouldn't stop them (although I would ask them to make sure there were big signup warnings explaining the deadline rules).

I've been wondering if it makes sense for moderators to run games that they wouldn't want to play in simply to increase demand. If the game is one which the moderator would normally play in, now you have an extra slot to fill because the moderator can't play in their own game.
