What I find amusing is that people agree to certain thinking times, then whine when others actually uses the this time.
Long haul 21/21 games takes long time. This is a fact. Takes no Einstein to figure that one out. Whine later if you wish, but don't expect any credits for that.
You're stuck in a long haul game. You're stuck with it. Don't whine.
Sometimes people whine over my slow game. That doesn't help them. Three whinings, and I put them on the ignore list.
21/21 means slow game. Expect a long game. You made a mistake when signing up for such a game. Just don't whine about it.
When you see the skull, then skull him out. that's my advice.
