Then this site would fall apart and you wouldn't have this site to play on. I've got a couple timeouts waiting for the mouse to click them, but I'm not complaining. We all ought to be happy ...[text shortened]... ave someone as dedicated as Russ to make sure that this site is ship-shape.

Thanks Russ

IMHO, we should be happy to have such a well maintained site, Iagree, thanks Russ.I also agree that the timeout announcement seems a bit odd and could have been avoided with a simple statement clarifing what 24 hours means (7:33 GMt to satisfy complaints from trigger happy dim-wits like me). I wasted almost 5 seconds working out what was meant when I could have spent this time practising speedy clicking on skulls🙄

fine. why not? let's not get too ruffled about it. In the bigger picture, this is pretty trifling.

My opponent hasn't moved for eleven days, and I can't time out his game??? Why couldn't you make it 2 hrs instead 24 hrs? Does anyone read this? Oh, this forum is useless, it's just here to look like someone cares. Really, if this was read there would be some kind of response. Where are you? The person who cares about this is not here. No one is here. No one cares about anything posted here. What a waste of time and energy. It becomes difficult to think up something to write when you know there's no one there..

All this ridiculous whinging from pathetic losers who depend on timeouts to boost their flagging self-esteem! Just play the game and be thankful you have a wonderful well maintained site to play the King of games.

Somebody is reading, and somebody cares Wildemouse, but unconstructiveness has a bad habbit of falling behind the rest of the pack. 😵

play a real game, instead of depending on timeouts

What if you want to play tournaments, clanchallenges and clanleague games?
Maybe you only play 'real' games with your friends😉

Due to a site upgrade and the resulting outage that lasted over an hour early this morning (GMT), we have decided to suspend timeouts for 24 hours.

I'm playing in a tournament...my opponent has had 21 days to make a move...he has been playing all his other games in this period but not ours... I assume he has lost interest since he is struggling...it would give me great pleasure to time him out...when will I get the opportunity?

They are available once more.
