Team America vs Team Eurasia - Currently underway

[GreatGonzales]

Hey all, I wanted to share what we've been discussing over at Team America. We don't think it's very fair that one team (in this case Eurasia) to have extra time to strategize by allowing the game to time out and forcing the game to be re-created. Not saying anything should happen now, since we all know that the 4 day time out deadline is fuzzy, and this is a friendly game besides.

But we do feel that there should be some penalty if a team should let the game time-out going forward, since this has happened twice now and it will have an increasingly large impact on the fairness of the game as it happens further; we therefore want to discourage it with a penalty.

One proposal on the table, which I think is reasonable, is to let the other team view the replay when a team forfeits via time-out. Again, not saying that we should implement this rule for the most recent time-out, but if it happens again we think this would be a logical penalty. Thoughts?
