stop spectating and play.

something is wrong when there are 5 people playing total and 6 spectators. Seriously, stop spectating and play. Also, if you're afk, dont leave trem open, rendering 3d wastes energy. JOIN!

Maybe they are eating or something. Trem is fun to watch, not just play.

I don't really care about spectators as long as they are quiet. There is nothing more annoying than playing and people smalltalk their mouths off.

HINT HINT HINT, SPECTATORS HAVE TEAMCHAT, TOO!

And they really should use it when saying something most likely not interesting to any non-spec. I turn teamchat-only on in severe cases, but some actually playing guys may say something on commonchat I don't get then ... it's a drag.

But aside from that, I have no trouble with specs.
I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Specing players better than you is a good way to learn.

I hate it when on the official U.S server in the morning sometimes. I will play with a couple of people, like there will be 5 people playing the game and there will be 20 spectators. I hate that. Makes the game really boring. And they dont say nothing for hours...

If people wanna play, they will. If people wanna chill and talk, that's fine too.  :police:

The game was made to allow spectating. Do not disobey the game.
