weirdness when clicking on square

when spectating (also maybe when playing, haven't tested) clicking on an empty square produces a console output equal in length to the number of times the game has refreshed from the server.

for example, if the game has refreshed 20 times from the server, clicking on an empty square will produce a console output of "CURENT TURN IS 1" twenty times. this leads me to suspect there is a loop that is running once per game refresh, which seems very strange. investigate further.
