Claiming timeout win worth less?

I have hesitated in claiming a timeout win because I thought it might be worth less than a real win. Is that true?

same value! enjoy it! 😀

"i believe, them bones...."

No, given you are inquiring about the points awarded. They are awarded in the same amount whether the win is a timeout, checkmate, or resignation. The choice is yours, but be courteous and send them a reminder first if you are so inclined.

and for people new to skulling there is no need to warn them if you dont want to...its all about preference...they didnt play, they miss out.

I take the skullls, but only to clear the inactive games. Taking the skulls is fine. There is no moral or ethical implication. It just makes sense. However, taking skulls does NOTHING BUT clear extremely slow or inactive games. It is true that your rating goes up microscopically for a very short time. But then, it goes right back down again, because taking a skull doesn't mean you really won from skill, so you aren't actually getting better, as your rating might indicate. No, the rating is wrong. You are headed back down again with your next few games. Like i said, I take the skulls. They FEEL like wins. And I like the higher temporary rating numbers. Please challenge me and abandon your games to that I can have 10 extra points on my rating for a day!!!

Could you write something more confusing and silly? Timed games are worth the same as won games. How do you know this user wasn't winning when they clicked the skull?

You probably shouldn't be posting so late at night if that is the kind of drivel you write.

So you also assume every time out game is a game you would have lost, so the points count for nothing? Why?

Also, this user is asking if it's worth the same points. Any win is worth the points, regardless if it's mate in 6, 56, resignation, or time out. A win is a win.
