all this talk of throwing games reminds me of this game I'm playing vs tarlwolf; he isn't playing the game at all; his only moves have been reducing neutrals, he's finished no bonuses at all, and takes the maximum time per turn
no idea what he gets out this
so minimally, at least throwing a game during distribution is better than forcing a player to actually play through a game that isn't really a game; but admittedly being 'better than tarlwolf' is a low benchmark
game image - see how he makes a move (if doing nothing can be called making a move) and then just waits another 3 days; he's likely using auto-commit to waste as much time as possible:

fine then, let's play the game of time wasting, fun fun fun
