Attacks Timing Out

Right now you can time out attacks when you know your going to lose , making it so you run away instead of getting a loss and the defender gets a run away instead of a defense.

Why not have it so when the time runs out for an attack it defaults to what your defense settings are and auto finishes the attack.

Wait, does that mean you don't actually need to select the "run away" option, or does it go a step further and remove the "run away and fail" event from happening?

if you try and run away you have a chance of getting attacked while trying to do it , if you let it time out then you just get away its basically a way of never losing an attack unless you choose to keep attacking

That's a goddamn exploit if I ever saw one! That's needs remedied immediately! Perhaps made so if it times out, they auto lose preferably, then talk about this idea after that...but if people can do this...well, that's something that shouldn't be an option really.
