New Game Option: Practice Game

Simple idea:
Add an option to allow practice games. Practice games give you SP but are not otherwise counted in your stats (win, loss, abandon, etc.).

Rationale:
Currently, if you play a game alone, it is not counted. However, if you want the true reinforcement numbers, you usually need other players to join (you need a Turkey for EU+ practice for example). Sometimes, you want to practice and discuss opening moves without playing a full game or for teaching. People usually end the game by either ally-ending or abandoning. These games shouldn't count at all IMO. What do you think?

Edit: Practice games would give SP, but are not counted in stats.

Yes pls

This is an awesome idea

Support

To avoid confusion there should be a separate room for practice.

I like it.. But when you practice you should get SP. for upgrading your skills in atwar.

This idea has my support.
EDIT: I don't like the last part you added of giving SP, it can easily be misused.

Yeah, that makes sense. Updated the idea

I think there should at least be an sp penalty for a practice game since it's not showing up on your profile. Also, there's a problem with this, farmers could take advantage of this feature.

Good point. It could show up in the list of games you played, but not be counted as a win/loss for stats. That way, you can still spot farmers.
