The "Wait (Game-Time)" function says it is a polled wait, and because of that it can last a little longer than expected.

It also says that it is specified in game-time seconds.

My questions are: What is a polled wait, and what are game-time seconds?

Q: Polled Wait (Wait game time seconds) - How does it work?
A polled wait waits for all players to complete the wait. This means that if one player is lagging, it still waits the full amount of time. This stops the notorious 'wait bug.' Just know it's good to use.

In-game seconds are based on the games speed setting, so if the game is set to slow, the actual time that goes by will be longer than if the game was set to fast.

well theres 480 real seconds per game day so
24 hours per game day
I would say roughly every 20 real seconds is 1 game hour
So thats 1 real second per 3 game minutes
if you roughly have a idea of the different between them now
PS you can change game seconds to real seconds if you know how to
Advance>Gameplay Constants than just go to the bottom where it says time - real secondsper day and put in the real amount of seconds per day
60secs=1min, 60mins= 1hr 24hrs=1 day
Do the math
as for polled wait idk
