Hi!

I think it'd be great to be able to play some games in blitz/bullet mode. Hence I've just created this suggestion, in case anyone want to vote for it

Basically, we should have:

• More time options, something like 3+0 for blitz and 1+0 for bullet.
• Option to end game automatically if a player exceeds allowed time (default to true in blitz and bullet, false otherwise).
• Remove any type of reputation penalization if a player exceeds time in a blitz/bullet game. Losing due to time should be normal in these game modes.

Decent suggestion, but the current implementation of ELO in 3+ player games wouldn't work well - if player C is out of time, both players A and B are winners against C, but not against each other, so for one of them ELO gain can be negative.

PS: To be clear - my preference would be to have blitz mode option added and I voted for the suggestion, but IMHO to be fun and fair it'll require some sort of correction for multiplayer ELO math. IMHO the best option is to treat winners as the only winners (only players who shared the first place get ELO gain).

That's a good point, I was mainly thinking of 2 players games. Feel free to add any comment in the suggestion
