None of these scenario's are stalemates. If both spawn points are blocked, the next move would have to be one player moving off the spawn point. I guess you might end up with 2 stubborn players who refuse to move, but that's true of any scenario.

A stalemate would be if one player can not make any legal moves, then the game would result in a tie. I don't think that's possible in outwitters.

Fill the entire board with Medics -> no more legal moves possible.

q.e.d.

Haha, awesome. I stand corrected.

An "Offer a draw" button isn't a bad idea. That would give the "I'm going on vacation for a week" people at least the ability to ask.

...or a draw button in game, and a vacation button in the settings? You get added one vacation day every week. The most vacation days you can build up is 7. Whenever you o on vacation, you turn the vacation switch on and it starts to count down your days! Once the vacation timer is up, it Resumes the normal timer of 4 days. So in a way, you get an 11 day (week and half approximately) vacation!
