how to claim a timeout

How do you claim a timeout? I have an opponent who hasn't moved in 3 days and is now eating into his timebank time. I read his info and NOW it says "don't time me out on the weekends, I don't play." and it is Tuesday morning....grrr

The help/faq section said look for a skull next to the game in the "my games" section, but there was none. I KNOW he is over his timeout period as it is eating into the general timebank now.

I wish he would have said something earlier, I don't want to play someone who doesn't play on the AGREED time and expects sympathy. He agreed to my open challenge, with my 3 day timeout, and didn't respect my wishes.
Game 817908



And yes, I am one of the few ellusive female players.

The timebank must be totally depleted before the skull icon will appear and you can claim the timeout. But... It is polite to send a reminder before you do this, some people have a lot of games on at the same time and little time to play, if you remind them they will often make a move in reply. Timeouts are not something to be pounced on the moment they become available 🙂

gotcha, just figuring out how this all works.
