Winter 2014. Automated submission of seasonal reports.

An especially interesting idea (from an external source) is that the opponent immediately confirms the report (after 115 turns or after restarts), and a line appears stating that a certain game has started. Then, the winner (or any player) finally submits the report with the game result. There are many interesting things there; you need to review everything.
Expanding on the topic, you can also track online games in this way, instead of bothering players with the question, "How is it going?". They saved at turn 125, and both confirmed the save. The organizer sees that there is a save at turn 125 from a specific date. That is, simply add a save option between the report and confirmation buttons.
Ideally, the entire process would look like this:
1. They started, chatted, and made some adjustments. It seems that nothing prevents them from continuing.
2. At turn 115-117 (depending on the type of roads, to avoid head-on collisions), someone writes a preliminary report, saying that they started, there are no problems, and sends a link to the opponent, who confirms it.
3. If they saved, the person who saved marks "save at x.x.x" in the report, and the opponent confirms it.
4. Final report.

That is, 2 buttons: report (with an extended menu with checkboxes for final, save, or preliminary), and confirm.

To avoid situations like:
"saved, confirm"
"loser, confirmed the loss"

there should be some kind of message like "Attention, you are confirming the start/save/end of the game."
