¿Question #4739?
puffinge: Does a member of your gaming group play too slow regularly? Have you tried to fix that? How?

ocdspectrum: You shut your mouth! Who told you it was me!
mi_de: Public shaming
Felimid: Give them some speed. That always makes things go faster.
Jatoha: Yup, my husband. I've tried hinting, I've tried directly asking, now I try acceptance.
ricardofo: Yes. no.
ejmowrer: Yes. Yes. I can't get into it, but I can say that it almost ended in divorce.
Phil Fleischmann: Yes. No. I have no idea.
Spirit of 70: No, everyone is pretty good about avoiding AP.
mathguy6189: I just let her play, and I'm glad she joins us.
plem45: yes no
Tadpoleface: Yes, no, probably would try poking with a pointy stick when next they do it
Woelf: No, not usually
GrimJester: yes, no, why
MisterCranky: We gave her a choice: Drink hemlock, or move her big fat lardy ass to Maryland.
purplewurple: we all do... so it's ok
Polgara: yes, we generally get into a chorus of 'duurt lang' (takes long), but only if it's every (or nearly every) turn.
puffinge: I try to point out they are too slow in a humorous way. It sometimes works.
ldkoehler: Yes. We tried a timer and lots of complaining. It didn't work.
caylott: Yes. But we killed him and took his stuff.
Brentoon: Yes, we drowned him in figgy pudding. And that's the end of Larry
DHEK: Nope. Fortunately everyone more or less plays at least at acceptable speed.
One Fat Pug: Which gaming group DOESN'T have one of these??? ...and a ball-peen hammer works quite nicely.
spartax: Yes. We have not; it's not worth the aggravation.
monkeyrobot: Yes. Putting pressure on him. It didn´t work.
POvidiusNaso: One does. I don't play games that take a while with him.
djsparkydog: Yes. Yes. Flip a coin over rules arguments that take more than 5 minutes. Never take back a turn.
ZombyDawg: Too slow for what? What do you do about the impatient jerks?
everlong205: Hot pokers tend to clear the mind
brainrob: No
vampywife: i'm usually the one that plays too slow, i've tried to fix it, but darn my mind, it just won't cooperate!
FrozenHoHos: I've had good luck so far. Guilty parties will be ridiculed.
_Kael_: Me. Not yet.
loonling: Not usually. And when so, be patient.
Big Bad Lex: HURRY UP YOU SLOW BASTARD!
Freejack: Nah... give people all the time they need. What's the hurry?
futhee: We make him watch re-runs of The Golden Girls.
RoSKoMaNTe: Yes... impossible to fix. When he is very, very, very slow, we all start singing...
Chemik: I prefer snide, insulting comments. They don't work but I prefer them.
double_ones: Harass the heck out of them. Usually though, it's of no use - some players are just more ponderous than others.
Famous Mortimer: Yes. Yes. Knives.
Tushratta: Yes. I've learned to hypnotize myself while I'm waiting to imagine that I'm running naked through the forest with wood nymphs.
mgringo: I am a very patient person. I usually just twist heads off of dolls while they're thinking too slow and they speed up.
scriptorum: Yes. Yes. Doesn't matter, nothing works.
nventit: Yes. We beat him first to get him out of the rotation.
Domokun: Yes. We mock him constantly for it, eventually he'll speed up or stop playing.
javelin98: No
djlg: Yes. Yes. By always pointing it out and how annoying it is and sometimes not letting them play games they want to play "because this game needs to be played fast" or "we don't have time to play it at your pace". They now seem motivated to change.
jttm: Yes, I say, HURRY THE HELL UP!
Harold Godwinson: Yes. Reading the paper / book / leaving the table completely while he agonises over an irrelevant move.
chaddyboy_2000: Nope.
skelebone: No, anyone who plays slowly gets poked with the red-hot iron.
CDRodeffer: Yes, we got a G8.
CortexBomb: Yes and no
Lord_Prussian: Not anyone member, we are all subject to it from time to time. We just tell the offending party to hurry up and play and that generally works.
