If I understand you correctly, you're asking if there are players who
would still play, even if they knew many of their turns would be lost
(i.e. they would remain idle).  Judging by my online experience, I
think you're addressing a very small minority here.  In practice,
players at least expect to be turned to AI.  So I think an 'autoai'
setting would be more useful:  if 'autoai' is set for a player, when
the player has been idle for a whole turn, the AI takes over until
activity is registered again.
