Readyroom = full server, but only 4 ppl playing?

klauskalleklauskalle Join Date: 2002-08-15 Member: 1165Members
how long can i stay in the readyroom? as if i can stay there 4ever, and other ppl will do the same, then the server is full, and only 4 ppl are playing.
will this happen? perhaps some ppl will only log onto the server and stay afk in the readyroom, this would suck. is there something like an auto-kick for ppl beeing longer than perhaps 5 minutes afk?

    What if 28 of 32 CS players hang out in Spectator?

    If I connect to a game, I'll be <i>playing</i>. If I want to socialize, I visit IRC.

    I'm guessing that's why many CS servers have player limits of around 26, but in reality, only 20 actual <i>players</i> are allowed in.

    You all have played HL, you all know how easy it is to hold a conversation when the text goes away every 10 seconds and long lines aren't allowed. And if you are using voicecomm, then you can play, talk about school, and get muted by everyone else, but still hold your conversation <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    People staying in the readyroom and going afk is just like people staying in spectate mode and going afk in cs. But hopefully, servers will have admins who will kick afkers. I don't see why people would use the RR to chat in.. if you want to talk to someone, use a phone.  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Hey, if you ever spot a 26 player CS server and only 20 are allowed in, then you'll find those other 6 spots are reserved for admins just incase they dont have rcon priveledges (happens a lot in large clans that decide to host servers) and feel like making some room for the clan members who actually ARE paying for the server (ie go on a small kicking spree)...

    Heh.This thread makes me laugh every time I see the title.

    "Hey, aren't we going to play the game? I hear it's really cool!"

    "Hmmmm, yeah it sounds good, but right now I'd like to stay in this dope room and  look at these cool walls..."

    not likely.

    you all would be very suprised at how often we PT's will spend 5 to 10 minutes inside the readyroom... :P

    and not just a few of us, I'm talking like 15 people :P

    Players probably dont spend a lot of time chatting in spec mode because it's very boring. Nothing to do.

    How ever you'll notice as soon as you give them arms, legs, knifes and the occasional grenade, they'll chat away quite happily for half an hour, choosing to either stab each other or build stacks. It keeps them busy while they talk, and they can look at the pretty little blood splatters while they wait for others to finish typing/speaking.

    Perhaps the ready-room will encourage excess chatter before a game, but there are always ways to stop that... (ie trigger all the doors to shut as soon as the game starts so that anybody who wasted time chatting will be stuck in the RR and their only option left would be to spectate the game)
