AIs have to grant cease-fire on first meeting

Why?

It all resolves itself next turn

It's actually in the beginning of the player's own phase, not on change of entire turn.

Creation of entirely new player is such an important special case, that I think we should handle like this ticket requests. The risk here is that we open can of worms by not sticking to the definition that contacts effects go to effect on phase start - it's a clear rule, whereas sometimes enabling contacts mid-turn and sometimes not (any contacts effect with requirements changing mid-turn) is not.

Since we have Marco Polo's Embassy, we have a meeting with them.

I can reproduce this in (EOL) S2_6, but not in later branches. I think it's a bug in S2_6 (and earlier) implementation that you can have a meeting with someone with you have no contact actually established (even though Marco Polo)

As the things stand in S3_0 and later, you don't get the contact with the new player until beginning of your next phase, but neither can you meet them like you had the contact.
What do people think; do we want to change that so that contact is provided immediately on player creation?
