I think these could be implemented to speed up cube games. 3 check boxes could be added on the game page with the following options (disabled by default, but when checked, they should remain checked for that game until the player manually unchecks it):

1) Auto accept:

If this option is turned on, if your opponent offers the cube, you'll automatically accept it and your opponent can roll without waiting for your reply.

2) Auto refuse:

If your opponent offers the cube when this is turned on, you automatically refuse and the game is over.

3) Auto roll:

If this option is turned on, you won't have the option to offer the cube; and you won't have to click on the "Roll dice" button because they will be automatically rolled. Very useful if you are losing - after all, nobody wants to double if they are losing...

I heartily endorse each of these options! Obviously, only one of the first two boxes could be checked

Yep, good point - the first 2 boxes can't be both checked simultaneously
