Title: Game spectators/visitors have to press space to begin the game
Post by: rommager on January 15, 2010, 20:57
One of the quirks I have noticed is that visitors who are not playing have to press Space to actually allow the game to start.  Furthermore, there is no notification that says visitors must also press their button to begin the game.  The only indicator that this is what is going on is when you press spacebar as visitor "(Ready)" appears by your name in chat.

It doesn't make sense that game visitors should have to press space to allow the players to begin.  It only causes confusion to the players when they can't figure out why the game hasn't started.  Has anyone noticed this?

Yup I noticed this when I watched a game as a visitor for the first time. At least you only have to do this once at the beginning and not at every round as a visitor (which would be horrible), but even just doing it once at the beginning doesn't seem necessary to me.
