Option for Resigned Player in Standard

We had a player drop out, and in our search for a replacement (now found), someone had the idea of having each remaining country vote for the moves of the resigned country.  We were planning on sending our votes directly to the Master, and majority would rule, with a tie resulting in a Master coin toss.  No one would know the results until the moves were entered.

Most of us liked this option because the SMART_CD option would have allowed for some easy supply centers by two countries that were already allied.

I'm no programmer, but this seems like a relatively easy option to add, with the DPJudge handling ties with it's own version of a randomizing "coin toss".

Personally, I liked the idea of haggling for the votes of a headless nation, as well as having relatively legitimate, yet unpredictable moves.  It might also allow a game to start while being 1 player short (if all agreed).

Any reason/thoughts on this not working?  Does it exist, and I've missed it?

Thanks,
Nate
