playBunny:
People who time out against only some players is a problem in TTT. However, it's also a problem in all other games, even though the "award" for winning a game is less (ie always the same). So, shouldn't the discussion be more golbal, since the problem affects every game.

I think it's impossible to solve to everyones satisfaction. Only way would be to make one timeout spread and let the player lose all his/her games, and that's a bad, but maybe fair, solution.

I play to win, but most important is still the challenges and all the things I learn. I will keep playing TTT and other games, and enjoy it. Sometimes I will get "lucky" and get an easy win, sometimes unlucky and my "worst" competitor will. Both ways, I'll have a great time! Stop woory, be happy!

Pason69: One thing that would hlep is to allow timed-out games to be restarted. Of course the opponent would have to agree to it. Other sites work similarly.

Another thing that might hlep is to use the Fischer clock.

Thad: Fischer clock is more apt to cause more time outs... that is the reason I no longer join those tournaments..

lovelysharon: Depends on the settings. If it were set for something like 7/0/30, you'd have up to two months to complete the game. Make it longer by adding to the bonus.
