i think it's time to try player caps.

(we would also need to add something that, say, boots you after 5 minutes idle on the title screen, though, if that does not already exist. and it might.)

While I am actually generally for pop caps, this one specific off-hand comment concerns me a lot. I like to have the game open in the background sometimes when a round is, let's say, at 70 minutes or so as I wait for it to end to join the next round. Having a boot timer will just cause people to find ways around that. Ultimately, I think this would cause people to join rounds more often and lockernap or cryo, which is arguably worse. But perhaps this issue could be worked around via observers.

And on the topic of extended rounds... please, god, anything but that. I'd rather play with 20 players on 10 different servers than have even a single server run extended.
