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 😠
1. That I'm supposed to go check my opponent's profile after he or she disappears, rather than him or her taking the initiative to reach out to me in courtesy beforehand.
2. That whatever return date my opponent sets is by default okay.
I don't subscribe to either. Click the skull, huck.

Originally posted by uzlessWhat is wrong with shooting a man in the back if that is the direction he is facing? Take the skull. Or if you have two games take both. I split the difference on Christmas day though and took one and resigned one. I think I'm getting soft. 😕
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
Originally posted by cashthetrashthat would be a good idea if I had another game to skull...will keep it in mind

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundDon't time him out Huck, he's a good guy and is part of my clan. The month is first and he should be back at the beginning of January. 🙂
the us people usually put the month first, i only know that because we brits do it the other way 😕
should i lose so many points ??? here's hoping.
Originally posted by ExpressiveOutburstI always honour return dates, my problem is that others don't and i end up losing ratings points because of it. The sooner we get our holiday immunity the better.

Originally posted by uzlessThere is no etiquette.
He hasn't moved since Dec 15. 7 Day time bank expired last week. He has his vacation icon up for about 10 days. I'm up a pawn. He's in check.
Skull or no skull? What's the etiquette?

Skull them before they skull you.
Alternatively don't time them out, wait till its your move, put up a vacation message with a return date that means you will have exhausted your timebank and can be skulled, don't move and see if you get timed out before your return date.
If you don't get timed out then you know you made the right decision, if you get skulled then you know you made the wrong one.
