I'm not entirely sure that a default end-of-turn action is
really voluntary.  In some sense, the player, by default,
involuntarily ends up taking the action.

The whole 'If a player takes an action and no one knows about it,
does it really happen?' is, I think, a theoretical vulnerability
at worst.  Also, we could probably ding anyone who tried it with
a demerit under the Deception rule.
