Now imagine all that time running off double-time! Yikes! Its like having 1:00 on the clock that actually runs out in 30 seconds. No thank you. If it works such that time returns to normal late in the game or something like that then I still don't like it. It'd just feel too much like an artificial/fake/unfair game clock.

I think it is normal in the last two minutes, but anyway, you're point doesn't make any sense, it's pretty much the same amount of time. You're making up for that accelerated clock with more minutes, so either way, whether you play 15 minutes accelerated or 7 minutes normal, it's the same amount of time.

I understand how it works, i'm just saying I don't like the artificial feeling of a clock varying in speed. I understand people like the illusion of a regulation game clock but i'd personally prefer the game clock to take the same amount of time and never vary in how fast it runs down. Its pretty much a sentimental thing either way.
