Fix game timeclock

Concise description: The time-in-round clock is inaccurate when the opponent has begun his turn

As one round ends, I have 24 hours until my turn.
If the opponent misses his turn, I have 24 hours to take my turn.
If the opponent begins his turn, I have 25 hours from the time his turn started until I must complete my turn.
My clock does not reset to reflect that opponent's hour-long turn (in case his system crashed).

Specifics:

Game 7483022 Round 4
The opponent began, but did not end his turn; for some reason, he went offline.
While waiting, I noticed my timeclock does not accurately reflect how long until the round ends.
It shows me the round will end in less than 24 hours, rather than 24+(time remaining for opponent's turn completion)
Is this a giant glitch? No; but it's a glitch.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Will accurately reflect for every player, the time left for existing turn rather than have one person know by the clock and the other have to guess.

I can see this suggestions validity, and it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to implement, when a player starts his turn, reset clock to 1:00, when he ends, reset to 24:00. Right now it seems that it's just: set to 24:00 @ end. Would be simple enough to change.
