I added in a message that reads \"Sorry, there is no second player for you to face $nick $+ .\" If the person is set as player 1 but there is no player 2. Also I put two 20 second timers that are activated when player 1 is set. One messages the channel to say that nobody wanted to face this person and the other unsets the variables. These timers are halted if a second player joins. It works fine for me.
