[pbmserv] idea for new feature: auto re-challenge

[Joe Christensen <jchristensen@mcm.edu>]

I am finding that I repeat games with people I have just completed a 
game against.  It occurs to me that one could modify the GREEDY toggle 
from backgammon so that a player could toggle the RECHALLENGE and at the 
end of the game if both players have toggled it on, then a new game 
challenge is automatically issued.  

I would think that both would have to actively toggle it on for it to 
work, in order to minimize the number of denied challenges.

Perhaps when one player toggles it on, the next play sends an auto 
comment "Player *** would like to start a new game at the conclusion of 
this one.  If you agree, you may toggle the RECHALLENGE flag with
[game] rechallenge [username] [password]
The next game will only be autostarted if all players issue the 
rechallenge command."

Any interest?

PS  What I am actually thinking is that I would like it to be a setting 
whereby I can have all backgammon games (for example) automatically have 
rechallenge toggled on.
