Pretty much Everyone gets stuck at work or has to go out of town sometime... when it happens you just know you have "missed" and possibly even "Dead Beated" on a game... But what can you do?
How about this... Give us an option.. maybe in our Control panel... to set "Vacation Settings" or "Away Settings" Then with a few clicks we could set the computer to automatically deploy our troops on a random position and then turn the game over to the next player.
This would only take effect either A) when you know you are going to be away and tell the computer to be "auto" or B) if the timer on a game goes below a player set time... say 23 hours... the computer would move so you are not holding up the game.
This would not eliminate actual deadbeats but would reduce held up games and fix the problem of being called away when you know it will be a couple of days and your in the middle of a game.
