v50.6 - New Timer System and Improved Connection Recovery

New Timer System:

inactivity timer was extended to 180 seconds, it was repurposed to only solely disconnect idlers (rather than semi-control turn timing as well)
a new turn timer system has emerged: turn time limit begins with 75 seconds.
each successful card play will add 15 seconds to the turn time.
each player starts with 3 "timeout allowances" for the game. when turn time is exhausted, game uses a timeout allowance automatically and add 60 seconds to turn time.
if all timeout allowances were exhausted, the turn ends automatically.
for every 240 seconds of unused turn time, the player will earn a timeout allowance.
remaining timeout allowances are visible on the player panel next to a hourglass symbol.
"ask for more turn time logic" was removed.
total game time for each player was reduced from 25 to 20 minutes, with a possibility of extension by 5 minutes each time.
timing calculations have been improved greatly for precision and fairness; turn/game/inactivity timers will pause while you are waiting for your opponent during your turn. in additon to that, the duration of any response to any request/selection will consume from corresponding player's game time, regardless of whose turn it is.

QOL Changes:

Ignored players won't be able to spectate your matches anymore.
Replaced Player A/B in game log with full player usernames!
The game features a brand new reconnection system that will try its best to reconnect and resume existing game when there was a disruption in the communication and/or browser. The new system even allows you to resume the game with a different browser/session/device in the middle of one.
