Currently what happens in D-pente is this: all 4 of the first 4 stones show up as white while they are hovering, but P2 stones land as black, p1 as white. Players alternate making the first four moves, not one player making all 4 (this could be worked around by agreement, but would be a bit of a hassle, involving msgs, etc). There is no swap seats button currently, so no way for play to continue beyond the first four stones. I'd like to be able to cancel current "games" in progress on these, as they were more a cooperative experiment in seeing how things work than an actual game. As i mentioned in the TODO thread, I think the possibility to cancel games (by agreement at least and/or at least for the first few moves) would be a good feature to have in turn based in general.

I'm not sure whether this is arising because there was no swap or what, but in one of my games (against KMBailey) I'm unable to play my 3rd stone (5th stone total). The others worked fine, so i think it may be the lack of a swap causing the problem.
