Like obvs if you have any good reason or your irl circumstances change you should duh be allowed to replace out but imo you should never be allowed to as a result of something happening in game apart from in extreme circumstances where someones been abusive or something.

#62

I think it is fair to be ā€˜Greylistedā€™ fir future sign ups until the game you replaced out of ends (within reason)

#63

Yeah I think I have replaced out once and it was due to classes suddenly changing when three projects were due in a succession. Other than that I have played all those shitty scum games to completion

#64

Legit question

Does anyone have any memory of me replacing out of anything ever

#65

not to my faulty memory

#66

:man_shrugging: u played a lot more before i joined, in games since I joined at the end of 18 no

#67

When I inevitably compile a list of my games I can see but I might not have replaced out of anything?

#68

I think ic replaced out of like 2 games one here and one on MU because Irl said fuck you and I didnā€™t have time to play and I felt bad

#69

A big issue Iā€™ve seen is so many potential players sign up as spectators, so a lot of potential replacements are gone

#70

Just let them be uninformes specs.

#71

But they can contaminate each other in a spectator chat

#72

Still less worse than an informed specchat.

#73

I mean, if someone says that X is probably scum in spectator chat, then replaces in and says X is acting towny.
What stops another spectator replacing in next and calling the first replacement out as scum just because of that?

Thereā€™s a lot of angleshooting potential.

I donā€™t think people wanting to spectate is problematic though.

Or players can just follow along and if they want, talk to the host

#75

Then limit the sub from specchat to only one.
That way, whether the specchat is contaminated or not, it wonā€™t affect the game too much in the end.

#76

ā€¦? What does this have to do with replacements?

#77

It allows a bigger pool of players

#78

I donā€™t get what you are trying to say.

#79

uninformed specs being able to sub into the game causes nightmarish angleshooting scenarios due to having the depth of your own and othersā€™ analysis that is not a part of the actual game

we learned this the hard way with geyde in sfol 58.

I mean, one of the main reasons I (as a frequent spectator) sign up to spectate is the fact that I get to solve the game at a relaxed pace together with people.
We can theorize without having to actually play ā€“ and I find that entertaining.
If spectating was disallowed I would probably follow interesting setups that I donā€™t feel comfortable with playing a little bit less.
