The host has a hand on the other seats: once the game begins, Seats makes a transfer phrase for another person's seat, which gives it a new token when claimed, and gives the seat of a player who cannot go on to a bot, which plays the move the seat owes at once and speaks nothing in their name; the person's token opens nothing while it stands in, their page goes to the gallery with the reason and a claim box, and a rematch holds their seat without the stand-in; the server pings every socket and closes one a dead browser left open
