My views on time outs changed when I spent 12 days in Las Vegas (getting married) ...
"Oh, honey, I have only 47 games to attend to, can't you wait...?"
(Half an hour later)
"Darling, I'm starting to have a head ache..."
"Oh, honey, still 24 games to go. In a minute."
(Eleven days later)
"Please, darling, I'm still a virgin!"
"Yes honey, but I have a difficult postion here..."

Skulls must be made to disappear as often as they appear. I see no reason to mention a tendency to play by the rules in my profile.

Originally posted by Dragon FireThats impressive. I was in Vegas for four days for a Microsoft conference and I had so many timebanks running that I thought it prudent to use my vacation (none actually expired so the vacation didn't actually help...).
My views on time outs changed when I spent 12 days in Las Vegas (getting married) then 2 weeks later 14 days on board a cruise ship in the Carribbean and managed not to be timed out in any game.
If I can manage in such circumstances anyone can!
For valid reasons I will give you a break but most of the time people are moving elsewhere but not in your game.

Originally posted by MctaytoWhilst auto skulling is a good idea, I have to say it would take the pleasure out of skulling.
With holiday flags preventing a timeout then it is now time for automatic skulling at expiration of holiday flag and in the absence of a flag
There is nothing better than skulling an opponent several hundred points higher. Its even better when you have decided to resign three or four losing games knowing the extra points you get from the skulling will put your rating straight back to where it was, so no loss in rating points for the losses taken.

Just out of curiosity, seeing as there is currently no auto skulling at the moment, how long would general etiquette suggest you wait after sending a reminder message before skulling? Is it different in a 1 day match with no timebank and a 7 day match with 14 day timebank?
