In fact i would suggest to watch to given streamers as it also helps you alot more than spectation ingame as rookie. Because those streamer know the game and so try to focus important sites of the map, where it can happen to you as rookie that you don't even notice round changing actions sometimes.
It's easy once you know how it works, but there's a few things you need to know to best enjoy it. You can find details and ask any questions in our TGNS forums.
Spectating on our server can be REALLY fun.
We do bump complete strangers. Regulars tell me they're rarely bumped once they're on the server.
On topic: Spectators are never bumped.
interesting policy. new people? screw em. bump em! srsly tho, I've lost all respect for those servers and Admins. but that's just my humble opinion.
TG servers are actually extremely well managed plus you get a free reserve slot for registering.
Accepting that removing folks from gameplay is a "necessary" evil: getting to watch (and maybe rejoin?) the game you just got yanked out of beats staring at a "Kicked" dialog.
Also is there something else like an Icon you can use to signify the players that signed the primer. People keep thinking that P> is a clan.
spectators should be told to join up if the server is full. if they don't leave, then by all means, kick em.
If you ever feel like giving it another shot, you can find the TGNS Primer in our Required Reading in our forums.
*Registering and agreeing to the server rules get you a semi-reserved slot.
You can still potentially be bumped by a paid subscriber, also known as the people that pay to keep the servers running. As far as I know the Tacticalgaming.com network is not-for profit in all the games it operates in.
The reserved slot logic is more or less something like this: Pay money you will never get kicked, do some reading and agree to be civil and put effort into working as part of a team when you play and rarely get kicked. The general idea is that as a new player on the server if you are interested in the way the games are played on the server you will look into or ask how to stay on the server. Refer to the link @Wyzcrak posted above for full details.
I enjoy the games there and play most of my NS2 there (when my terrible internet lets me anyways) so I got myself set-up for a semi-reserved slot and rarely have issues getting into or being booted from a game.
Edit: Emphasis added
Yea I spend about 90% of my time there.
No wonder ns2_hotdogs is still not complete...
How do i become a better caster if i cant practice on any game since I get kicked instantly as a spectator
2. Tell people its what you are during.
If you tell people that you are casting, they are likely not going to kick you.
But, you might want to sign up as caster in the ensl. So you can cast some actual games instead of pugs.
Alternative, ask the teams permission to cast thier scrims.
