No, it *isn't* currently skipped. That's the point.
For example, right now, it's Poles' turn, see? Ends at 9:30 PM PL time, on 2019-08-09. It isn't skipped, even though we know it's unlikely Poles will do anything on her turn. Instead, we wait for it to end like with the other players' turns.
Everyone gets 5 points. I get 1 extra, Poles gets 3 extra.
Log gets 11 points from owned sections,
I get 9,
Juiz gets 8,
Spars and YN get 6.
I get 6 points stolen from me by Mr. Molina.
Dave moves to... (-1,3), then (-2, 3).
I'm gonna go ahead and mine...
...
And get myself some Diamonds. Woo.
EDIT: Also, Carpet Guy's point balance increases by 5% (8 points).
