currently, if someone stays connected, they can delay the game indefinitely

conversely, if someone disconnects for literally 1 second, they can be kicked by 1 other rude player

I don't have exact plans for how this could work, but it feels like it should be a bit more democratic and/or time based

I think the way this should work is something like this;

if you don't take your turn for 15 seconds, a "Skip" button appears for other players
if a player gets skipped 3 times, a "kick" button also appears
if you are disconnected, the timeout reduces from 15 seconds -> 0 seconds

this is nearly complete

still TODO:

this needs to be server authoritative, which is potentially blocked on quicktype being able to do a timestamp in c++ (maybe it already can?)
