In this case I could setup something that allowed upload to a different port, or by webpage, or by email. And then set up some sort of check routine for IF the timer runs out and IF xxxxxx nation has not uploaded to the primary port and IF they have a provisional turn file THEN copy the provisional file into place before HOSTing.
I take that back. Its impossible. But that was fun. Thanks for the idea. Maybe some game. Some really monstrously large long-running game like using all 93 nation slots on a 1500 province map.

Well, "Impossible" in computer terms is defined by the set of problems which a Turing machine cannot solve. There are problems which we know are out of bounds such as the ability of a computer to determine when the number of iterations of a loop are infinite or finite, and some which we don't think are out of bounds, but don't know how to solve yet such as the Painter's Problem.
Theoretical Computer Science is fun. ^_^
