sorry for my silence.
The problem that I've found with running with the "noclientstart" option is that then no one can start the game, since I'm running the server with the "-T" option, since its remote and I can't have a window open on it. If you know a way around this, I'm very interested.
So I will use my masterpass magic to make players computer controlled if they don't take their turns in a timely manner.
Anyway, I'm going to start this game now, so hold on to your hats!
