Find the longest stretch where nothing happened in a match, and who left in it

Some strategy matches stall: both sides turtle, nobody attacks, and the clock keeps running until someone quits out of boredom. This entry shows how to find the quiet stretches from a simple event log, and how to tell a mid-match lull from the player simply stopping.

Why this works

A match stands still when nothing moves it forward, however busy the players look. Measuring the gaps between real turning points, not between any clicks, reveals dead stretches. The gap at the very end is a different thing and must stay apart.

When not to use it

Do not use it in games built on slow tension, such as stealth, sieges or chess-like play, where quiet stretches are the point. There a long lull is suspense. Ask whether players stayed engaged during it instead.
