Whats a legitimate reason? You want to talk? Use some type of internet chat, I have yet to play in a game where a majority of the players sat around the readyroom talking. Your in the server to play the game not sit on your **obscenity**. If you don't want to play and just want to talk, leave and do it through other means. The game should be consantly going and not have to wait or be uneven for those who do not wish to play.
Besides the social aspects of the ready room, and how innovative it is, I just like being able to have some place where I can go if I need to adjust my controls, or go AFK for a little bit without fear of getting shot at.
I LUV READY ROOMS ... when i get a new map 4 NS i really wanna see how teh readyroom is made <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

oh yes... games in the readyroom... why...? i mean, imagine a 20 player server, 16 of those people playing the game within the game within the game (2nd one being NS and 3rd being Half-Life and 1st being the game in readyroom) and then NS would get an award... for being the '1st ever mod to screw itself over by people playing the game within the game instead of the actual game' but hell... id like to see some plat jumping to get to the team you want to be on and if you fall auto-random-team... and of course at the start theres random team and observe match

I suppose this would be a problem for people joining a server and then going AFK for a bit before they start to play, though.
Oh, how about a readyroom where the whole floor drops away every 30 seconds or so leaving people to fall into the join autoteam? BUT, with a special island marked "RR Lounge" (or something like that) that doesn't drop away, for those people who want to chat or go fetch a snack or something else AFKish like that? I think that would be hilarious!

I just love the Nancy readyroom. It is easily turned into a nightclub with the HLamp plugin. Complete with a bar and dancefloor <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

1) You're taking up a spot in the server that could be used by people playing 2) You're guarunteeing a player imbalance towards the marines 3) You're demonstrating your own ineptitude and stubborness about trying a different play style 4) You're forcing people that actually use the "random team" portal (gasp) to play as the aliens every darn game, which makes it a lot more boring.
This would probably tick me off even more if the aliens didnt win practically every game. Anyway, it really disturbs me how few people I see jumping in the random team portal with me.
its pretty anoying when me and a friend wants to play together...
Daunt: "Marines?" Friend: "k" Daunt: "howcome everybody storms for marine portal?" .... Daunt and Friend together: "Aliens again then"
or if we are 'lucky' we get one spot... !
Daunt: "I joined marines, coming?" Friend: "nope, portal is full with ppl allready" Daunt: "Go aliens then..... I just have to go to readyroom and join aliens" .....
Most of the times it's the n00bs who storm the marine entrance, but that's usually because they have 0 idea of how to play aliens, and since I play aliens every chance I get, I'm happy with it. It's because i'm a biased **obscenity**, you see.

[color=blue]Make the marine portal involve jumping across a series of tiny tiny moving platforms and obstacles that push you off down a pit... which is actually the alien gate <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

hell no ready rooms are really kewl...one server had it so if u went into the marine portal and they already had enough ppl..it automaticially took u to the aliens side.. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
