Automatic NMR Extensions (per-player deadline grace periods)

[johnpooch]

Problem: Sometimes life happens and a player can't make a deadline. Currently this results in an NMR (No Moves Received), which can hurt the player and disrupt the game.

Proposed feature: A per-game setting that gives each player a limited number of automatic extensions (e.g., 0, 1, or 2). When a player is about to NMR, the system automatically triggers a brief extension (e.g., 12 hours) - but each player can only use this a limited number of times per game.

Questions to consider:

• What extension duration makes sense? (12 hours? Configurable?)
• Should the extension trigger automatically, or should players explicitly "use" their extension?
• How should this be communicated to other players?
• Should there be restrictions (e.g., can't use in the final year of the game)?

Thanks for the feedback on NMR extensions! I've consolidated this proposal along with #150, #159, and #161 into a comprehensive implementation plan.

Please see #162 - Epic: Flexible Deadlines & Game Master Controls for the full breakdown. NMR extensions are covered in Phase 3 of the plan.

Your input on the proposed approach is welcome!

We have this. Closing until more feedback
