I'd favor something in the same spirit that limits such effects. For example, increasing the quarter second discount to a half second may be enough. At what point do we stop trying to help the bots and just say that it's their responsibility. I don't believe other servers will be as tolerant as CGOS. I probably went overboard with my time management, but I collect statistical descriptions of lag and set 4 sigma confidence bounds to avoid loss on time. In the previous KGS tournament spectators were nervous about HouseBot leaving only 6 seconds left in *late* endgame.
