Depends on the timout/timebank period selected for the game when it was started. You prob cant after such a short period of time unless this was specified when creating the game.

Default behaviour is three days per move with full week timebank. See http://www.redhotpawn.com/help/index.php?help=faq for more info. Look for section "What is a timebank?".

What's the rush?

No rush - it just seems like one of my opponents has gone MIA. I think it's bad form to start a match and not see it through. So I want the win. Of course I'd excuse them in the case of serious injury or death. But I still want the win.

What about a medium-type injury e.g. broken arm? Which diseases would you excuse and which would result in your claiming the win?

Just curious...

I'm afraid a broken arm wouldn't cut it. A severed limb, failure of a vital organ, coma or death are all acceptable, though.

Actually, with coma or death you might as well just claim the win, loss of both hands, on the other hand, you should leave them some time to set up voice recognition software to give them a hand with computer use.

A keyboard can easily be operated with a tongue, or in fact a pen gaffer-taped to a stump - so loss of hands is no excuse.
