I'm not sure we want that discussion...
Just look at the code and do something similar... :)
(By the way, I'm now in favor of a 4-space indentation -
for those of You who remember me agruing for tab :)

Umm...
Turn blocking game play? :)

Yes...
Not because of the my connection though... :)
I have a network connection... :)
But I rarely have the time to spend playing a game of freeciv
at a normal pace - with this it might be feisable to have a
game running all the time :)

(Of course that was possible eariler in a way but it's easier
to get players for such a game if You are allowed to disconnect
since not everyone is blessed with a free 24/7 connection, yet)
