Apologies if this has been asked before; I have looked all over and cannot find the answer.

I have a minimum timeout and minimum time bank setting of 3 days each.

If I add a buddy can they override and say, challenge me for a one day timeout?

No, because you set the time limits and sent the challenge.

Thank you for your reply but a slight mis-understanding; my buddy challenges me so can he set a one day time out that overrides my settings?

Yes, but you can delete it and send a game back with your time limits with a message explaining.

I need to explain further.

I have a three day minimum each for time bank and timeout.

I have added a buddy who only plays one day time outs and I am happy to play him.

Therefore as I have 3 day time out can my buddy challenge me with a one day timeout which I will happily accept from him.

Well I don’t have any buddies added but I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t be like any other game where you can.

Yes; if you add someone as a buddy they can override your time out and time bank criteria and put in a lesser time bank and time out

LOL

The person concerned only plays 1 day time outs and I prefer 3 and 3 but am happy to play him on his terms.

I tend to avoid 1 day time outs, as life has a habit of throwing up unexpected priorities.

That is hard to believe, but I could see why. 😛

I accidently got involved in one of those 1 day things by mistake, ok my own stupidity in this case. I should know by now to check the time not just jump in the challenge. I liked to play the players that were in it.

The answer is yes. If he is your buddy, or anyone for that matter that sends you a challenge/match to play and he has a set time frame, you can just accept it. He will already have his time set, you just need to accept. It will override your time frame.

Same goes for you. You send him a match with your time frames, he can change the time frames and then accept. This way he gets his way. Or he can just accept your match you sent and you get your way with time.

Does this help at all????
