To prove my point, what would people think if banner count and wins/losses were not displayed at all until the end of the time or both players clear all territories?

Or, C), we realize it doesn’t matter one way or the other and just attack when we have time.
My GAC rounds start at 2:00pm, I don’t get home from work until around 5:00pm and go to sleep at 10:00pm. That’s 5 hours. That’s plenty of time. Next time you’re in GAC, try playing around your schedule instead of setting your schedule around the game. See how you finish and realize that all your supposed advantages don’t mean squat.
