Truthfully I like the one minute time, (I haven't timed out before)

and when someone does time out it means I can take their king and get points.

I think it's safe to say you are in for the points.

For the record Pepsi the old 2 min time control was about the same speed as this current one so if you bring it back all you gain is probably a few seconds LESS on overall time vs more. For those not around it was 2 min but either 5 or 10 second (8?) delay vs the now 1 min 15 second per move. 

It sounds like what your really asking for is a longer time frame overall by adding a second and keeping the 15 second delay. 

*I would be fine with that as well as keeping the current one although its tougher for us longer time thinkers vs the bullet players. 
*I agree with Martin in that I don't think we have enough mass yet to add a second time control but they have said they will once we get further down the path.

Maybe some that see it’s only one minute w 15 sec lapse run away and never return unless they’ve heard it’s increased, perhaps?

 

If it were more inviting in this aspect I bet more would flood in, than were we to presently leave it as is.

I think suggesting to add a 1 min to the overall time control as the new format (and only format for now) as  test to see if it helps or hurts the game and community is a good suggestion. I just would leave off the stuff that clouds the issues (like bring back the 2 min happy.png
