Title: Is it bad for host to kick a spectator?
Post by: Death_Mule17 on July 05, 2010, 16:40
  Today i hosted a game and had an extra player join (zx81). At first i thought he was there just to watch an help the brand new noob/who was having trouble and missd first land grant,there was lots of lag (someones wirless i guess). So i asked everyone after first round if we could start over for the noob. So i started another game, and once again zx joined...the noob askd questions about the game and every1 helped out with that, zx had no input. 3rounds later the game froze and i got a msg saying you need to kick zx81, hes not responding...so i did cuz he had no reason to be there in the first place/and lag was pissing every1 off. I went into lobby to tell zx what happened, and he msg me "why u kick me?" >so i told him why-the comp. told me to(if it was a player and same msg comes up i wait for the comp. to kick)....Zx msgs me back -tt which i have no idea what that means, so i told him to join another game-there was a host and players waiting in the lobby...then he says "im not the one with wireless"...well i use dsl, for the last 3weeks...I dont feel bad for kicking u zx, as u werent playing or coaching a noob. You have no reason to get pissd- I mean are u here to play or just watch?-id rather play personally. If u dont like it, talk to the comp. who told me to do it...am i suppose to bow down to high ranking players now?? thats just not gonna happen. Cant we just keep things friendly on planet mule next time zx? thanks man ,luv ya xo

Personally, I doubt being wireless is the issue, I always run wireless, I find people running Torrent (myself sometimes) causes issues, when I forget to shut down bit torrent.  If my processor is overloaded with a video project of some sort my whole computer will lag, and if I'm hosting that will translate into perceived network lag (it's actually host computer stall)

So, rules I've learned to live by when playing serious mule.  JUST PLAY MULE. :D

No worries about kicking observers, if things are running great, I say let them stay, but if lag is proving an issue, dump whoever is dispensable (that means observers must go)
