Removing idle players BEFORE the game starts

I suggest we identify and remove idle players BEFORE the game starts. There will be many idle players in LT30 and if they are removed after the game starts, the map  will have huge empty areas.

This could be easily fixed as follows:

- Admin (akfaew) announces the start date (e.g. 1 week before the date but not earlier) with an automatic email to all players who signed up.
- Players must confirm their attendance until the day before the game starts (by clicking a confirm button on the game page).
- All the players who did not confirm are removed and the game starts.

I agree with this. Idle players (and the empty space they leave behind) is a much bigger issue with 56+ players than with 30.

That's a good idea, I also though about a 'confirm' button, so yeah we'll do that.

I agree this also makes sense, if the admin is up for it.    Thanks akfaew for your work!

It was also suggested to reopen the polls for the players that joined late.

Perhaps these could be combined -- for instance, you must vote in at least one poll.

Great idea, I'm glad we're going to do that.
