Managing drop outs without WaitPage

#1 by tankarman

I have an experiment which assigns players with unique characteristics (there are 25 unique combinations). However, I will be running this experiment on Prolific, hence, player drop outs is a problem. Is there a way to ensure that the next player who joins has the same characteristics as the player who dropped out? For example, let's say P2 dropped out, but I have coded the app in such a way that P27 has the same characteristics as P2. Is it possible to force the next player who joins on Prolific to use the link for P27? A function like ```group_by_arrival_time``` is useful but I would prefer not to use a WaitPage.

Why? This is exactly what the WaitPage is for
