Begin Turn Script

I have been scripting for a few months and it just occurred to me that a begin turn script would be pretty useful. It would refresh the current game every 5 seconds and begin you turn if possible. Good for if you had to eat dinner, take a shower, do homework. but would require that you check up on the game at least once a hour to be sure you didn't run out of time. It would allow you to keep any continental bonuses you have with out having to manually check up on your games.

thats a pretty good idea, but i only see it to be useful for freestyle games. plus, you have to know you will be back within an hour. It seems like it would kinda get in the way sometimes, but it would be helpful for some times.

all it does is start you turn. not play the game, and there is a chance that you could run out of time...

There's also a chance you could be eliminated while you're gone.

Nah, beginning your turn is your own responsibility.. sometimes people take a continent of someone before the other player started his turn (talking about speed rounds)
that chance would be gone then

It would be no different than any of the other Grease Monkey scripts. Like it says in the poll "Alls fair in love and war"

If you could modify this into a greasemonkey script that clicks the "refresh page" button every 15 seconds, that would be awesome. It would basically be refreshing just like in speed games.
