@Lyte, I know you already have a system thought out for failures to connect, but out of curiosity..

What, in your opinion, would be the pros and cons of having the game timer simply stay at 0:00 and disallow purchases/movement until everyone is confirmed to be connected, whether by automatic detection or an "Are you ready for game start?" prompt?

Cons: Someone never connects. Game never occurs. Perpetual state of trolls starting a game and never connecting.

But... It would have a timeout.. If after five minutes nothing happens, the game just ends... o-o

I guess that could be abused if it was a choice, but automated detection wouldn't be able to be dodged quite as easily.
