Poll: Should absolute time say "Time/*", "Time+0", or "Time ABS"?

This begs the question, what does “SD” mean.

I mean, seriously, I don’t know what it stands for, other than being the last byo-yomi period (by context). I can’t think what “MS” could be in Spanish either :no_mouth:.

Me too.

I would keep the 0+ for coherence and clarity.

¿Muerte Súbita?

Yeah, maybe we should use an emoji for that as well

Thanks. I’d still say it’s not intuitive at all. I find the color red more telling in this case.

Yes, indeed. I wouldn’t have guessed it though.

And I think this is supposed to convey that when your clock hits zero it’s game over, as opposed you can let it hit zero possibly more than once in byo yomi.

I don’t think it’s specifically to do with the clock being able to be reset after a move

but I can understand that it wouldn’t be great if you saw the sd used up most of what you thought was a byoyomi period and then timed out next move because it didn’t reset.

So it kind of would make sense but maybe it’s not great.

Not exactly off topic as it was a suggested alternative to adding yet another abbreviation ABS in for absolute time :slight_smile:

Which was not fitted because of the reset so…
