Originally
Voting to remove a host and give it to someone new originally only toggled between the first and 2nd players. This would mean two trolls or AFKers would forever hold a room "hostage". I realized I had more fixes than I thought, so wrote up a changelog:

Changes

 * 1) Host can now only be host of a room  one time.
 * 2) If a host is voted off, the next host will be by seniority.
 * 3) Voting for a new host will now circulate across the entire room.
 * 4) To prevent breakage and weirdness, if for whatever reason every single person ends up being a host at least once, the list resets and the original host can once again become host
 * 5) [Potentially] fixed the visual glitch that would always show  0/4 votes : It should now update properly. I hope. Ping me, if it does not.
