Strike the above. Otherwise we may not be able to present out ultimatum
because another player is spending too much time with the player we want
to present it to. So if two players who meet want to, they can stall the
game indefinitely at this point. Perhaps the other players can vote them
off, though.

Well, either we require players to schedule appointments in the player
dialog beforehand during the normal turn, or the phase has to be started
each turn.
