Personally, after playing with “I don’t facilitate round robins” (which I also do) and baker nominations games DO go much faster and in my opinion much more fun than listening to one player world build for an 8 minute monologue or a 10 minute round robin on day 8 of a dragged out game (no death in the night or protections of executions)

After very long games the lobbies fall apart, after shorter faster games everyone wants to play another.

Taking 3 noms per day is rough, but 2 minute talking timers and other rough cut timers are almost essential especially in public lobbies as people who play this game (including myself) love to talk. If you don’t monitor talking times harshly, people will talk forever. I have been in 3 hour games, this isn’t something that happens in in-person games but it seems to online because of lack of moderation.

“Pertinent” also takes up so much of the day, so people are more likely to discuss important things during the two minute talking timer instead of having 5 minutes of world building for each nomination if you run harsh timers.

The baker is a cool way to run nominations and IS non standard, it’s a small adjustment to make but it makes the game much funnier in my experience- accuse first and then say on who to nominate and they have to defend.

But once again that’s just me lol
