This 'no luck cyclic move order' doesen't seem to be a preferable setting. I play lot's of low prereq team games with random teammates and what I dislike most is when players pick some nonsense super fast and then walk away until next move starts. This new setting rewards this kind of 'teamplay'.

Unless I'm missing something (which is certainly possible), no-luck cyclic move order seems horribly flawed for games with 3+ players (or 3+ separate teams).

The person who moves quickest in the first round gets the top of the order... but the person who moves the slowest gets the bottom. Each get to go first half of the time.

This means that it's advantageous in large FFA games to wait out the clock, either until everyone else has done their first move or right to the brink of the direct boot time (after which you boot whoever didn't move quick enough).

None of this strikes me as a good thing, particularly as it would seem to encourage slowing down the first round of what are usually already pretty slow-moving games.

Pretty sure the time only applies to setting the first turn order, then it would cycle from there

@Mr.Pride Eww, I bet you voted for the Koch brothers

Going first isn't always better

It is always best to have first move because you can delay as needed (yes sometimes you get out delayed). At the very least you can plan for getting out delayed. But you can never plan for first move.
