Fight 1
#924 is the kind of bullshit I'd kill instantly these days. As if I have nothing better to do than interpret wacky source code because the requester thinks he's cool or helpful if he makes his suggestion look like code.
Either provide real code, or no code at all. Providing code that's not usable helps no one and only makes the request unreadable.
I haven't actually waded through that crappily indented, un-<pre>'d, badly named and unresearched piece of code, simply because it's way too annoying to read and "provides" an "implementation" that is completely detached from reality, while, at the same time, it doesn't express what the fuck the requester actually wants, but this:
Go go gadget time hole
That being said, let me emphasize again that #924 is, text-wise, an utterly crappy request and that I will close such requests in the future. If I can't actually read your request, there is no reason to keep it around. If you're unwilling to invest the 30 seconds to write "I want a feature that does...", then we're unwilling to invest the weeks it takes to get it to work. It's as simple as that.
As for #999, it's a cute idea, nothing bad about it, but it doesn't seem to have much support, and the mental image of Blade's Time-Sucking Black Hole Desolator of Doom is just way cooler.
Kill: #999
Support: #924
Fight 2
I was about to slam the single-click Chronosphere as a pretty worthless request, but looking at it again, it's not so much worthless as that it is very badly named. The summary makes it sound like it's basically the normal Chronosphere without selection, while it's really more like Dawn of War's Space Marine Orbital Relay.
And I
the Orbital Relay. ^^
Yes, one can argue if the difference between the summary and my words is all that different, the point is, the summary makes it sound way less interesting and more worthless than it really is.
Add to that that I dread the work and the prerequisites involved in #685, and the choice is clear.
Kill: #685
Support: #725
Given that Alex's selections were the same, these are also the results of the fight.
