I just returned today from a long vacation, during which I had my status set to on vacation. I come to find that one opponent has claimed a timeout victory against me even though I was on vacation status. Is there a way I can dispute this and have it removed from my record?

Afraid not it is an honour agreement between players not to time you out. If they do there is very little you can do about it.

Nope , just take your vacation sign down and put up with the loss I am afraid, its a legitimate way by which your opponent can win. I am sure 1 loss won't make us think any the less of you

The vacation flag is merely a suggestion to your opponent, they are not in any way obliged to observe it. In fact, relying on your opponents to observe your vacation flag is a very dangerous way to conduct your affairs. I would suggest only playing games with longer timeouts and/or timebanks if you know you are going on a lengthy vacation.

Well, sure! It'd be nice if I could stop myself from getting clan games with 3-day timeouts.

Russ?..

It sounds like you need to have a talk with your numerous clan leaders and make your wishes known.

i find it helps if you message each of your opponents b4 u leave and them exactly when u will be back (difficult if u have 150 games on the go).
