Collecting a timeout when worse?

Is it when the time runs out OR when the extra Timebank runs out?

I am a new player and have not seen it yet.

When your opponent doesn't have any time left, none at all, and it's still his turn - then The Skull appear.

Don't think, just click it. You will be rewarded with a win and some rating points.

I would crush that skull! It is not like they are delayed at work and missed submitting a move by an hour or two, if all the time per move PLUS all the timebank has run out then you've waited long enough, take your victory and move on 🙂

I suppose rules are rules. Also waited for my opponent to come back, and then for some reason, my pc stopped working for a couple of days - guess what, the b@$t*d timed me out without even a warning!!
Nowadays, I'm waiting with my finger on the mouse for that skull to appear 🙂
