Pinned Rounds

[Fyni]

We have implemented pinned round times, which is automatically processed via code. Care has been taken to ensure no one has their round cut short by it too! For a rough breakdown of how it works:

The code is set up so that the rounds preceding the pinned round are not cut short. In the round before the pinned time an automatic vote will be started to either extend the current round or start one final full round before the pinned time. If the current round hasn't reached the 2 hour mark it will be automatically extended to the pinned time. Only when the round has already been going on for 2 hours, you get the automatic offer for one more full round before the pinned time.

This thread is to gather feedback on both the concept of pinned rounds, and the exact timing (which has been set to 19:00 UTC as of this post), which may be adjusted for the best effect.

They work!

We had two good europop rounds, not enough readies for proper antag stuff though. Averaged 5 people both times.

They might need to be two hours later, that's still more or less euro friendly.
