I understand that the game currently must be over due to one player inactivity, so that others do not score points in 'elo system' - but this solution is also punishing those who wanted to play. My sugestion for example:

• others can finish the game (like it was a few days ago). As a normal game (with elo), or: they can finish but the match is no longer classified (elo).
  or
• the system asks the others if they also want to quit the game

We're going to add to the live play stuff, probably a matchmaking option where you're in a queue and the timer is something like 10min + 1min.

This will be especially needed since our next game is a lot less complex than gaia project.

We also need to add the ability to start the game at a precise time, ...

All I can say is that we're working on a lot of stuff, but we're aware of this and we're willing to address it.

In the meantime you can add people to this discord: https://discord.gg/SVVeAkY and ask the owner to invite you to the secret channel for the site.
