Multiplayer exploit fixes

Hello everyone, effective immediately the server has been updated with the following multiplayer exploit fixes:

- closing the browser window will still timeout and make you lose rating
- you can no longer have more than one mp game in progress at a time
- timeouts are per turn, so no more targeting and canceling to frustrate your opponent into quitting
- you can no longer rejoin your own game in progress. Players who can't win a real fight would open another browser window and cause sync errors by joining the same match again

The good thing about having a rating instead of a score is that players who have been trying to exploit the system will start getting proper losses and drop in rank quickly to their real skill level. We will continue to monitor the multiplayer games and in fact have added a lot of tracking data to further analyze the games.

Thank you very much big guy... This is going to help alot.

At last. You have redeemed yourself.

Thank you sir ^^

Good news! Thanks Kyle!

Cheers Kyle

This probably deserves a sticky, at least for a week or two.

Quick question!

What if some people in the top 20 decide to stop playing and just sit up there?

Are we going to have any decay?

i hope disconnection is in all case resulting in lose of rating.

Great news!
