Yes, you are right. I want only to remember that this site is born as a play-by-mail resurce. You can use it even for realtime playing, but this is not his real nature, and we are not thinking about creating too much facilities for realtime users.

We are already working on this, but the site isn't on a dedicated computer, and we can't use daemons programs. Our housekeeping routines are done every time someone login, so we can't assure you that after 5 minutes your sleepy enemy will loose his turn. 
As I said, this site was created for play-by-mail purpose, so a 7 days limit is more than enough.
If we wanted realtime play, we used a Java engine, not an HTML-Javascript one. There are already a lot of realtime playing site but I hate them because you can't stop playing when you want. Our purpose was to create a virtual boargames meeting room, where you can go when you have just 5 minutes, make your move, and return to your work after that (until you'll have another 5 minutes to dedicate to the game). I hope this won't be a problem for you 
Have fun
