about
duel timer is a dual kitchen timer for having an argument with someone.  let's both people see who's talking the most, with overtime reminders about arguing all day with someone who always talks and never listens ;-)

how to use
click either timer or hit spacebar to pass the talking stick
click anywhere else or hit tab for nobody (same as pause)
turn counters - time remaining in this turn
total counters - accumulated total time
duel counters - time remaining in duel
!beep popup - select overtime alarm  (for notification, duel timer must be the front hypercard stack, or consensus timers must be running)
turn popup - select max time for turns
total popup - command menu
  switch - to other person, same as spacebar or clicking timer
  pause - same as tab or clicking not on a timer
