Who would like to see "Spectator Mode"?

A mode for watchers to peep in on games. Aye or Nay?
It would make a nice screensaver.

that would be a great or should i say awesome idea i would love to peak in on some game and see how people are doing especially on "FL TRON multilayer".soo i vote this idea 100%

now that's a got idea but remember that if a "lagger" joins the game, the game will lag for everyone :-/
so there will have to be something done about it, but the idea is good :P

Not true. If someone is spectating they will only need to receive data from the server and not send it. A laggy spectator would have no detrimental effect on the rest of the players.

ummmmm im not sure about the lagger dudes but im pretty sure that would be awesome also i would like to say something."i play these games like runescape and stuff i could advertise this site for you and get more people to come join us at nonoba idk its up to you but anyway back to the idea ummm i guess get your opinion from other people and see what happens

Toby, are you sure? because i'm pretty sure that a lagger affects pretty much everyone :-/
that's what happened when i used to play RTS games

I think that's a great idea! then if there is a competition the person who owns the competition and see whats going on with the scores.

RTS games are much different. In a RTS most of the lag is caused by all the client constantly syncing up, meaning it's not just network lag, it's also down to people having slow computers and such. Even then in RTSs, it shouldn't prioritise spectators because if they become out of sync it doesn't really matter and from my experience of playing (I have a friend with a horribly bad connection when we play) as soon as the lagger is put into spectator, the lag from them disappears.

Spectator Mode seems to be a pretty popular idea which has been mentioned before. I'll certainly keep it in mind.

A spectator's lag won't make the whole game lag for others. However I can tell you making the jump from 2 players to 4 players has increased the number of bugs that pop up. If I can get the current version to be bug free, I'll try adding the spectator mode.

Okay thanks Toby :-)
And allright Mr. Architect, that'll be cool ^^,

If I was old enough, i'd offer to help lol
