With versions of njudge 0.8.7 and up, a game can have multiple masters which do not need to be the first entry. Once a game is created, and the creator has made themselves master, they can promote any observer to also be a master (using the "PROMOTE email_address" command). Multiple masters will have the same master privileges, and receive all master-directed press. Any master can resign using the "EJECT email_address" command. However, any game that ends up having no master at all will need JK intervention to hand-edit the dip.master file.* Games can be destroyed at any time by the 'terminate' command, either before or after starting. -Millis Miller 6th Oct 2000 *Note that this is not completely true - the JK can promote any observer to be a master via the sequence: signon @game password promote signoff (where "game" and "password" are the game name and JK password, in dip.conf). -Millis Miller 5th May 2003
