here is a funny thing i found out while testing those +time tiles

the thing is that you only have limited time to finish every map.
you can see pretty much everything i did in the following screenshots.

as you can see the highest number i was able to see in slowmotion was 710222 minutes, which is about 1.35 years. after this number the time will go to 00:00 again you lose you time and i is like you never touched start. when you touch end after this, nothing happens as well.

do whatever you want with this information....

If you want an explanation for why: The time is stored in ticks as a 32bit integer, ranging from -2³¹ to 2³¹-1 (-2147483648 to 2147483647). There are 50 ticks per second, so the largest time is (2³¹-1)/50 = 42949672.94 seconds = 715827.88 minutes. That looks close to what you're seeing.

I don't think someone would be able to stay on the same map, same server for more than 1 week ^^.

the servers would probably restart once a year so even if that person manages to keep going he will get shut down pretty easily

save and load would reduce the chance that you loose your bad time since you get one minute penalty everytime you save. Just save (one minute delay) load and immediately save again.
