Lights measured in player-turns, not game-turns

[ekolis]

One thing that's always seemed slightly off to me is that lights are measured in player-turns, not game-turns - that is, if you are hasted or slowed, the light still takes the same number of moves to run out, even though a hasted player can (supposedly) do more stuff in a shorter period of time. Shouldn't lights be measured in game-turns, then? Unless rings and potions of speed are supposed to affect the burn-rate of lights you're carrying, that is!

Ah, never mind, I see - it's just *displayed* in player-turns assuming that you are at speed 0 - I was -4 to speed due to burden and I just now noticed that every turn my torch lost more than 1 turn of light... Interesting... I wonder if it would make more sense to display the burn time in player-turns given the *current* speed of the player? Or would that just confuse people when their speed changes, causing their lights to change as well?

Keeping this as-is is the only real option. Changing the display depending on how many real-turns are left seems very confusing.
