    AFK Kick:
    If a player doesn't move for 5 minutes, automatically kick them from the game. It's annoying when a game is full and your friends are playing when there are lots of people being afk and you can't join.

    Queue:
    Like on HCF, when a CTF Game is full, when you click to join it you will be added to the queue, you will move up 1 space in the queue every time someone leaves until you are first and are able to join.

    Spectating:
    When you click to join a full game, you will be put as a spectator. There will be 25 red and 25 blue wool in your inventory (representing how many players are on each team). If there are less than 25 on 1 team you can click on the wool to join that team. If there are ranks playing, it can still display more than 25 players.

    Not moving doesn't mean someone is AFK. Also, this is unnecessary for late night games as 1) most people are chilling/messing around and 2) servers are never full during those times.

    Neat idea +1

    Spectating regular games has been suggested many times before. Don't know why it hasn't been added yet. +1

    I like the spectator idea a lot. I think that's much better than standing in a lobby waiting for players to show up. +1 on all of them.

    Guess it depends whether or not the player in question wants to actually play or not. Option for either queue or spectate could be implemented.

    These are all separate options however they could be combined?

    I like the second option. The third option is also a neat idea, but I think it might also centralize all the players around 1 server instead of having the rest of the playerpool on another CTF server. Not really sure if that's a minus or a plus, but it's something to think about.

    Yeah that was what I was thinking about the third idea. Generally, if there is a full server, the stranglers will fill up another server to make a decent sized game of 6-20. Spectating would encourage most of those people to wait and you'll end up with a larger portion of the CTF servers unused. Now I guess this could be an exception on freeday but you will still end up with less of the servers being used.

    Really like the idea but if your spectating, (in a fullgame) 5people from red leave and 1from blue would u need to join red then or could join blue too.
    Cause that would make the mvp feature (/switch) broke

    What would determine if someone is afk? Some people like to stand still and chat. Would that be considered afk? Or would absolutely no activity (whether it be chatting, moving, etc) be considered being afk?

    Both queuing and spectating sound like pretty good additions, so I'm glad you brought that up.

    Doesn't matter.

    You'd have to join blue.

    Hmm I guess

    Maybe when the server is full, could the AFK idea be implemented.
