Every time you take longer than your 3 day time-out to make a move you'll begin chewing into your 7 day time-bank, which doesn't replenish move to move like your time-out does.

So, just the once, you could choose not to move for 10 days before your opponent had an opportunity to time you out. But after that, as your time-bank would be used up, your maximum wait would be 3 before your opponent could end the game.

Timebank is your savings, while timeout is your income. If you run out of money you lose.

Except you can't put money back into your savings.

This was a pretty bad analogy. Sorry.

How do I make the little embarrassed dude?
