After game crash, issue $vip to that player after rejoining the lobby and reconnecting to game (within X minutes of crash)

[sprEEEzy]

Currently, if your game crashes while playing, and you open the game again, join the lobby and reconnect to game, you're going to be last in the queue. This is one of the worst feelings in BAR, because you're potentially missing out on the next 1-3 games in that lobby. You should't be punished for the game crashing.

In my opinion, the current $vip command (to put someone currently in queue to the front of the queue) should be auto-applied to the player reconnecting. This would almost guarantee him participating in the next game.

Potential concerns: players finding ways to abuse this. I can't think of any right now. You still lose your spot, but at least you're first in queue (still net negative anyway).

I like the idea. This could be handled by teiserver alone.
Sth. like:
IF JoinBattle and BattleRunning and JoinedUserIsActivePlayer THEN Put_In_Front_Of_Queue
@jauggy What do you think ?
@Damgam Can you move this to https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/teiserver ?

Hi Fireball. You can put the ticket in teiserver repo. However, this one is not in my area of expertise but maybe someone else will look at it.

I can't move an issue to teiserver because i have no write access on teiserver repo.

nobody really has the expertise currently to implement it. I think it might be too hard at the moment.
