Lag safety

[Sarah_U.]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Place a failsafe that can be toggled, that freezes the game must lag occur.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
No SSD murderboning.
Interlude momentum and a more friendly gameplay.
Time for a 'tactical break'.
It's just really more convenient for marines and xenos.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
During the recursive tick-check, add a verification or start another process which validates if the game has recently frozen.
If the game has lagged for more than 10-20 seconds, using server time for comparaison, then apply a global freeze.
Unfreeze requires MENTOR and higher to toggle it off through a verb, but only if the function is currently on.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Possibly sleep every living mob, after using mentionned method above.



WARNING - This suggestion could cause more stress on the server after it unfreeze, so I do understand that point.

I'm confused by this. Either way, the idea is to decrease lag, not make lag switches. Freezing everyone is also taxing. Denied.
