Spectating A Fight said:Spectating
Spectating a fight is when people not directly involved in the fight are able to see the action and know what happened. There are some rules to spectating in order to maintain fair play for all parties.
- Spectators must be viewing the fight in a different thread, and cannot interact in any way with those fighting.
- This includes verbalization between the spectators and the fighters such as heckling or words of encouragement.
- Spectators do not get a different copy of the mod or have any rolls done with them being considered. Why? It is extra mod work and players can use that information to share it with one or more of the combatants giving them an unfair advantage.
- Spectators are only allowed to see/hear/feel what ALL participants of the fight agree they can. This must be agreed on before the spectators make a thread, and the agreement must be posted by all fighters.
- If a fighter does not agree to one of the terms, harassing them for approval will result in all spectating to be voided.
- Spectators are considered aware of the fight, and may enter combat if called in via a headset or signal flare. This does not bypass the limit of how many people said items can call in. Doing so still warrants waiting three rounds from their post in the fight thread entering it. Waiting as a spectator only does not bypass this limit.
- This means that a flare or a headset item needs to be used (but this can be reflavored to yelling for help for example) and they need to spend the AP required to use the item(s).
- Spectators are not considered part of the fight, and therefore cannot be targeted. They also cannot interfere in the fight in any way.
- Once the fight is over, spectators may freely enter the main thread to continue RPing.
