Don't worry if the timeout has passed and timebank has decreased to 0 if not multiple moves have been made. Win claiming is not possible, only deleting the game. If you do not make a move, you cannot lose a game for whatever reason (this makes me wonder though if anyone playing as white can resign on the very first move so you can win without moving. I think it can).
Tournament and clan games can be claimed after only one move (?)
In both these scenarios no rating points will be added or subtracted.
Only after 3 moves games are considered 'valid' and can ratings be adjusted.

If not, try a cushion shot, perhaps with a touch of side.
Or just curse your opponent in a mumbling tone- that's what I'd do.

If they fouled and no miss was called you either could make them play the next shot, or you could take the free ball and play on from there (this assumes the value of a red (if reds on table) and must be followed by a regulation colour). If the reds are all off the table I can't remember what happens, I think it assumes the value of the lowest colour, then you have to take that colour afterwards.
Should you attempt to play from the snookered position and miss, any of the above could be the result.
If you are not snookered and miss three times succesively the frame is awarded to your opponent. The referee should warn you of this after your second missed attempt.
I'm glad the snooker is back on the BBC at the moment! C'mon Ronnie!!!

Originally posted by PonderableWhat's really (well, only mildly) annoying is where two opposing players in a clan game fail to move (often where they leave the site at the same time). The game sits indefinitely and the clan challenge will never be finished.
Clan games and tournament games can actually be claimed without a move.
E.g.

Originally posted by FersbooThe same thing happened to me. I accepted without knowing the terms of the game. Just play the game as though it is a over the board game and you will be ok.

I have heard of whining. The present tense, first person form of the verb is "whine".
