The proper etiquette is not to play a game with a timeout you cannot
meet. A one time reminder with 24 hour wait after sending is more
than adequate in my view. Recently, I have been waiting for up to two
weeks. I just don't want to inflate my win/loss ratio with timeout. So it
would be proper for you to claim the timeout as soon as the flag
comes up. It's all up to you.

in my (minor) view, timeouts are there for 2 reasons:
1) to try to give you a game at the speed you want
2) to stop someone who is losing just giving up on the game
So, again in my humble opinion, look at the game. If you're enjoying
it, leave it & see if they come back. If you're not clearly winning,
concider that you will be artificially inflating your rating. If they don't
come back in 3 weeks, then take the points.
nb. if they're a pawnstar, then they are more likely to be serious
players and have a good reason for not moving. Non-star holders
don't have any tie to the site, and are more likely to just disappear.
