[Sinapus]

I guess it would also be useful to send a global chat message to either ask why it is taking someone so long to finish their turn.

That and a courteous player might want to warn the other players that he/she is going to step away from the keyboard for a bit.

"What do -you- want?" "I'd like to live -just- long enough
to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a

come with too high a price. I would look up into your lifeless
eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your
associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
