class Party (Connectable[Inform, Action] ):
        '''
         This is a interface definition for java-based party implementations that are
         to be run on the PartiesServer.
         
         To implement a party to run on the PartiesServer, you must implement this and
         also have a 0-arg constructor. Also we strongly recommend not to use any
         static code blocks or do anything serious in the constructor. Instances of
         your class may also be created only to call the getCapabilities function.
         
         <h2>Short outline</h2> After the party is created (empty constructor) it is
         first connected through a call to connect (from the {@link Connectable}
         interface). The party can subscribe to receive {@link Inform} objects using
         {@link ConnectionEnd#addListener(tudelft.utilities.listener.Listener)}. The
         party can also send its actions using {@link ConnectionEnd#send(Object)}.
         
         The {@link ConnectionEnd} allows the party to receive Inform objects and send
         action objects.
         
         Incoming Inform objects (eg "Settings" containing the profile, and
         "yourturn") are notified to the party throught he notifyChange() call to the
         party.
         <p>
         Outgoing Action objects (eg "Offer") are sent using the send() command.
         
         Most parties extend {@link DefaultParty} to handle these connection details.
         <p>
         Technical details: normally a Party will be spawned inside a PartiesFactory,
         and incoming/outgoing calls are routed through a websocket there. But in
         testing the Connectable is often mocked.

                When this is called, the party should free up its resources and terminate
                its threads. This call may come in at any time, eg when a negotiation is
                aborted.
