Improved Multiplayer

[Gandalf Parker]

As a moderator on forums, and customer service, Ive learned that its better to seem abit naive than to take something as a joke when it wasnt meant that way.

I was letting the conversation progress abit before bringing up that the needs of doing stale turns as AI have been discussed. And the idea of allowing a player to be turned AI while they are away doing something then coming back to play. But apparently both have problems. Switching a player to AI sets many variables for the nation that apparently cannot be set back again as far as the way the code is presently written.

However, as far as the "tired of waiting" thing..
I have suggested creating a game of "musical chairs" with 10 players where the game automatically hosts whenever it gets 9 files turned in. The last person to do their turn always gets left out. For some reason I get a picture in my head of the chess games where they slap the timer after each move.

You would do only the minumum actions then rush your turn in and curse over every second that passes waiting for it to host thinking that you could have done one thing more. But then next time you try to squeeze in another action and the game cuts you off.
MUHAHAhahahahahahh A very evil blitz game.
