Unfortunately my desire to win is not matched by my ability or indeed my patience. In most instances I won't claim a time-out out if you converse with me prior to the opportunity arising - if you haven't then I will. I expect no more or less from you. (However, I always take time-outs in clan and tournament play.) I'll delete most challenges if I don't know you and you don't PM me. Good luck, but not too much of it!
