as it happens that people leave after a crash it might occure that i play a game 
vs. A that crashes and want to continue it after i played against B. now this is 
an unsolvable situation for normal players (only via fs or via the editor).

better would be a folder autosavegame with all games stored with a name 
"map_player1[_player2 ...]_date" with an option in the settings screen "delete 
autosavegames older than days: n"
