Automatically pass host if he/she hasn't input for some time inside a room.

So while in a multiplayer match room and the host hasn't moved the cursor, pressed the keyboard, or made any input, a dialog will popup saying that "host privileges will be passed in x seconds" which would count down. Two buttons will appear as well, which are the options whether you'll stay in the room or leave the room. However, if the countdown hits 0, someone else will be automatically receiving the host privs.

on the other side, there's people who want a afk button to show that they're on the toilet, forcing other people to wait.

There's already a force game start. Those that are afk will stay in the room but won't play the beatmap unless they're ready.

They shouldn't be kicked. maybe a transfer host privileges after a two minutes or so, to someone else.

Why not just start a new room with a new host?

@peppy, it'd be a hassle to move all 7 players to another room. Also, if you're doing tag team and you started a new room, chances are you would have less players in your room, making the tag team more boring.

Why not just make so the force start button work the same way but if 7 out of 8 people are ready they can start without the host?
So anyone can press it.
