Sure you could. Each local area (such as a planet) is a single timezone, and everyone there experiences time at the same rate. Someone leaving that timezone would experience time dilation... But in game it would just appear as a communications lag, just as it is for people on different planets. Then, once you've arrived at your destination, there's no longer any lag with your new timezone, and your lag with the original time zone is now fully synched with everyone else on your new planet.

Player A remains on planet A. Player B remains on planet B. Player C commutes between planets A and B, accelerating hard enough for measurable time dilation.

Yeah but by the time player C reaches the other player A thousands of real years have to pass so neither player A or player B can meaningfully interact with player C or each other .

Time dilation is just shortcut to say you are no longer sharing the same frame of reference. If everyone has their own frame of reference there is no difference between single player game and multi player one
