use the above command line for your server. it will make EVERYTHING a lot easier. It also fixes how players can press start.

If you start a server like this without making anyone respond to the thread before joining, you will really have a hard time getting people to take their turns. in my experience, you gotta be organized to run a successful, smooth going server. I suggest you add a short description like "You must reply and check back at this thread regularly."
also, you might want to state at which times the server is force hosted. if you don't you will have players not taking their turn and causing everyone to wait for them.
