If a player crashes/disconnects

- If a player crashes/disconnects twice, this may result in a map loss for that player.
If a player chooses the wrong civ
- In the event that a player accidentally chooses a banned civ, or a civ that has already been played, then the players have a couple of choices.
  - If both players agree, a redraft can be done for both
