I think it should be G/120 days. Agree? Disagree?

Explain, please. (It's nothing to do with getting governments together is it?)

Game in 120 days of playing time. You could take 30 days off and still have 90 days to play!

I wouldn't like to be in a group of four quick-moving players when one of them sees that after 20 days he cannot win the group so decides to lose his remaining game by time default (yes, there are people on QA who would do that). Imagine waiting three months for a group to end.

With seven days a move it's not much better Corvidae. There are players who continue to play in hoplesly lost position untill they are checkmated, which is their good right of course, but also move only on the seventh day. Lost games can continue much longer then three months. I had games with enormous material advantage, but no posibility to checkmate in a few moves who continued for more then half a year.
Here at Queen Alice whe should have the option to enter into 3 days/move tournaments as well.

I like the system on netchess; 10, 20, 30 or 60 days time-bank and one day a move only.
My experience is that even in tournaments with 30 days time-bank about 90% of my games finish within 3 month. Exceptions are only games with over 60 moves.
