Freestyle timeout exploit

I suspect player "risk it all" in game 1306250 of using a timeout exploit.

Basically wait for your turn to timeout in a freestyle game. Then the "last player to act cannot be first to move" rule does not apply.

You can then be first to go in the new round with double the armies you would have had going in the last round.

This would be easily fixed by preventing players who time out from going first in the new round if they were supposed to be last to act in the previous round.

This isn't considered cheating just a dirty playing tactic. So this is reason for leaving a negative.

I disagree. It should be considered cheating, but it's also easily fixed.

Then check the suggestions and ToDo lists...

It has already been discussed. It is not cheating.
