Failure to click Ready within 5 minutes (i.e. a 10-minute break) sees you ejected from the Duel.<br /><br />Or just keep a running tally (shown on-screen) of each Team's total damage and after 60 minutes it's Duel Over! with the winning team being that which dealt the most damage. Maybe that's not fair to healer heavy teams, but that's Life for you (pun intended ;)<br /><br />W101 is supposed to be a kids game. Adding Friends is insanely difficult w/o using Vent or setting up a time & location to meet, and in-game Chat? Don't get me started! IMHO it's irresponsible of KingsIsle to allow duels to run for anything longer than an hour without forcing a break on the players.<br /><br />As <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recurring_characters_from_The_Simpsons#Helen_Lovejoy" rel="nofollow">Helen Lovejoy</a> says, "Won't somebody <i>please</i> think of the children!" ;)Cap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952457306147452128.post-47912458835891646012009-08-10T19:07:01.587-05:002009-08-10T19:07:01.587-05:00i had a 4 hour match, i agree i should have fled b...i had a 4 hour match, i agree i should have fled but i didntOutstanding Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18314620983205791824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952457306147452128.post-26835184200808273992009-08-10T15:46:56.364-05:002009-08-10T15:46:56.364-05:00Yeah, that's pretty messed up.

(Or you could go with a Chess timer notion; give each player *max* ten minutes of "play" time, and cut things off when one player either dies or gets a "time out" violation.)Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordspress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952457306147452128.post-20489524136478274372009-08-10T10:50:15.882-05:002009-08-10T10:50:15.882-05:00Yeah I had a 5 hour match the other day.
