Unfog snaps

Concise description:
Snaps are "unfogged" after the end of the game

Specifics/Details:
Just as the fog of war gets lifted in the log after a game, terts you couldn't see in snaps are now visible. Therefore looking back at the snaps after the end of the game would show the whole board when the snap was taken, not just the terts you used to see

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • You can determine if you were rightfully pissed after a move from your opponent or if they actually had the troops to back it up
  • Outside people can take snaps and see how the game looked at that moment
  • Makes log reading more convenient
  • Increases the number of ignored suggestions by 1

i.e. ZaBeast and betiko want another stick to beat previous opponents with and the other bullets in the list are just there to pad it out

Don't snaps currently disappear after a week or so?

Nope.

There's a limit to how many the Snapshot window will hold, but the ones in the Chat log are permanent. If there's any older snaps that have vanished from your Snapshot window, just go to the Chat window, click "Load entire chat" and select the one you're looking for from the chat logs.

Snapshots should be made like Snapchat snaps. You get to look at them twice and then they're gone forever.
