Apologies if this has been considered and rejected before, but does anyone have any thoughts on having a "soft/temporary boot" for slow players? Right now it's all or nothing - either the game stalls while waiting for a player, or they get kicked out forever.

It would be nice if the game creator could set a threshold of X days before the AI takes your turn for you, (but then you can come back the next day and take your next turn) just to keep the game moving along. It's still a punishment for being delinquent, but it's not quite so devastating as a full boot.

set "number of times player can come back from being an AI" to more than zero... or if you want them always to set it to a ridiulously high number like 9999

I... did not see that option. Thank you!

you are welcome
