You gain 20 points if you win, lose twelve if you lose, and gain four if you draw.

ahh, never bothered to figure out the ratings system.

But if i take the skull when he says he'll be back, well that'd be like shooting a man in the back

If you take it the next day, though, you have a clear conscience.

I generally don't take them unless they hold up a tourny or clan match from moving forward. Or unless someone did an open challenge and disappeared.

On the flipside though, both players are non-subs, so surely the guy knew the game would be a goner.

hey, I have a tiny ounce of honour in me somewhere...

Honour has nothing to do with it, he has tied up....quick math....17% of your playing spaces.

If you're enjoying the game then don't take the skull, it's not as if the game is in a tourney or clan match!

true, but if I were to subscribe, my space problem would be eliminated. Should I punish him for my own stinginess?

If I'm going on vacation and it's going to exhaust my time, I'd PM the players affected and give them the context: something along the lines of "I'm out for a few, and I know my time will expire before I return. If you care to wait, I promise I'll play the hell out of our game on my return. If you want to take the skull, no hard feelings either."

If I use my timebank, it's on me. I joined this site knowing the rules. Should you feel sorry for me because I'm sitting on a beach in Tahiti with no internet access?

I guess lack all conscience concerning timeouts. I don't care who's ahead.

Now, if I happen to like my opponent or feel particularly generous, I'll wait. If my clan leader tells me that he would prefer we wait longer before claiming timeouts during clan challenges, then I listen.

Otherwise, it's clicksville.

Typical rule of thumb for me.

Knowing when he will be back, Leave it for 2 days past (acounting for time zone differences) then take it.

No date instant skull!

He's out of town for over a month, and i'm playing him twice (clan game). In all likelyhood he'll beat me in at least one of the games, if not both, but what will happen is that others will time him out and i'll end up losing more points because of it......it aint fair i tells ya 😠
