That is a long fucking comment to ask why someone ELSE cares so much.
If literally everyone at the table wanted a timer in place, is it even necessary? Isn’t everyone already motivated? Or was it a majority vote and there’s a single person you’re not having a very necessary conversation with? Beyond that, who was the one to suggest the timer in the first place?
You said they looked up fireball 6 times in a session. Maybe you were being hyperbolic, which would weaken your argument. If not, then they must use that spell a lot to need to look it up so much. And given it’s a simple spell, they must be double-checking the numbers, so they have something in mind for it.
Your biggest benefit to a timer, and your biggest flaw with a nudge, were both about being responsible for the game running smoothly. You’re the GM. That’s your responsibility. It’s everyone’s, but the GM is afforded greater power by their position, and with great power…
Yeah, that is a small detail. It’s very small. Insignificant, even.
You said the timer fixed the problem. I corrected you, pointing out the timer only prompted the actual fix for the problem, and that’s not guaranteed for every table. You called me a snob. I don’t feel that upset about it.
