You'd still need a folder for each turn, but you could make one big archive for all the turns, which can be created by hand after using my script there which puts them into folders named "SpectateGame turn 1", "SpectateGame turn 2" and so on.

I am using the timestamps to avoid collusion with savegame backups. The timestamps are not really readable for humans because the timestamp is given in the seconds since the UNIX epoch, so just a very large number. You can only tell the order of the dates by comparing the numbers, though the backup date could easily be retrieved by looking at the file creation date, too.
