Bug report may be valid, but I would highly suggest straying area from putting anything in the player definition board besides an Event Receiver and Event Sender, then handling logic outside the board, including stuff like locomotion

Especially with object properties being added, I no longer feel the need to do anything inside the board except for rerouting its specific events out, as I can store stuff like synced variables per player as object properties on an object per player (either by room index or by replicator)
