Has this happened to anyone else? I came to my games list after about a week and was surprised to see a 'game won' against a game I thought I would lose ... I checked and saw that I had won through timing out my opponent, but I did not do this! I couldn't have, there were no skulls on my games list. I message the other player and got a (naturally) aggrieved response - what happened? I know I didn't time him out, but there it was. Hope someone can help.
I presume you're talking about the game against tygertyger?
Clan league game and tournaments both have automatic timeouts which kick in two days after a skull first appears. One of these must have occured here.
And were you out of vacation allowance as that could have been used to avoid the ones you suffered?
