If the board is less than a week old, no checking of the player status
would have been done.

So... it started Jun 7th.   on Jun 11 (that friday), no nag notification.

A move was made  Jun 11 21:30

So, on Jun 18 (the next friday at 7am) no nag notification.   It was
*almost* but not quite, a week old.   So, no nag.

Now we hit today.   It has been more than a week.   so... check the
status of the player in order to send the nag.   Surprise, no player
record.

So the player forfeits.

Really!   There is a method to the madness.  8^)
