In fact, a client can also save the game, and anybody can become the new
master by hosting the next round. The important thing is that everybody use
the same saved game file and that it is in the same location (the lib
folder) on all computers.
If you end up with different sides assigned compared to the original game,
just use the Exchange button to reorder the side/player list. Sides are
assigned in the order that clients connect to the new game.
