I’m in favour of accelerating this race (for what are probably obvious reasons). That said, this implementation effectively requires two of the Snails who are still Racing to cooperate in order to be able to finish the race before they get eaten, and I’m not sure there’s much actual chance of that happening – it may be that there are only three Snails still playing, in which case we’re effectively in a Dormancy situation (but one that won’t be officially recognised until Snails start idling out).

It rather depends on whether Snails are a) tactically not doing anything (like I was earlier in the current race), b) tuned out from the dynasty and not doing anything because it’s too difficult to understand, or c) unable to do anything yet because they need either a confederate, or to be the last Racing Snail standing, to get enough Plays to finish. (I suspect that JonathanDark may be in category c.) That said, JonathanDark will probably be able to survive three Spot Dangers and still have enough Rocket Fuel to escape from behind the Slug of Death, so this proposal isn’t unfair in that respect.

GetPunnedOn, if you’ll vote against, so will I. You have about 7 hours.

Otherwise you will very likely get eaten
