How long is reasonable to allow your opponent before claiming a time out win?
I ask because I acceopted an open invite with a 24 hour time limit. The person who set that limit has now missed it twice and indeed is more than 48 hours late at this point. I have also messaged them as a reminder.

personally i dont time out players who are real world friends or others who at least chat during games (if i feel that the conversation is worth continuing). all others go whenever i see the skull.
if you think they would time you out (ie if they set up the game with the time limit quite small then they probably would) then you should do the same.
Originally posted by Gweilofolk that set extremely short time limits are more likely to time you out at the first opportunity

take the skull
There is no indication of my opponent being on vaccation, and if I look at his/her public ganes they appear, with a couple of exceptions, to have ended in timeouts after very few moves.
I have to wonder why a player bothers to start a game with a time limit they dont want to meet. Still they should have moved by mid day 2 days ago so my skull finger is getting itchy.
