Actually, most of the world is sane enough to not use the Imperial system, as opposed to some people.

Whenever someone refers to it as the Imperial system, why do I always hear this in my head?

That's because you're a 7 year old.

I think we're forgetting that inches/meters themselves are abstract concepts. Meters exist just as much in Tremulous as they do in the real world. Meters are simply an idea that we use for convenience when we wish to refer to distance or length. Similarly, game units are another form of convenience used by mappers. It's been approximated through map design and models that 8 units in-game corresponds to 30.48 centimeters in the real world. Again, simply a form of convenience.

So according to that the average height of the trem human is about 210 cm.
I’m busy. I’ll ignore you later.

Yes, as is stated in the Radiant manual.

Quote
Player Dimensions
Model size: The player model's actual size is a bounding box 30 units by 30 units square with a height of 56 units. In the game world, eight units roughly equal one foot (30.5 cm). From this, we deduce that the characters are a heroic 7 feet tall (2.13 meters).

They should go to the Olympics.

The 800m distance is ~21000 game units, I think the speed of a player is 320 units per second, so they would finish in ~1:05 without using sprint ! Thats more than 35 seconds faster than the current world record.

"The metre is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1⁄299,792,458 of a second. It follows that the speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second. (17th CGPM, 1983, Resolution 1)[2]"

Light doesn't move in Tremulous, therefore there are no metres.
