Hey guys, I know that recently there was a drama between AUrankAdminGoogleFrog and CArank[G0G0]Dancer regarding spec cheat(what a day without zk drama)
http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/11455?page=1

I'm against FFA spec cheat, but please!
Recently I played FFA game and at 40 min my ISP disconnected me, I asked 100 time to pause the game for 5 min so I could catch up(I have really fast PC), but by the time I was in game I was dead.

Thanks you AUrankAdminGoogleFrog for this awesome development,
from one point of view - it's good, from other - total disaster(and due to strange coincidences I share both points of view so I'm looking for a compromise)
I'm really sick from ffa spec cheating, that happening almost in any ffa game sooner or later(due to their lengthy nature)

Probably there is any compromise, probably a button where spec could ask to pause a game to reconnect?(hardcoded phrases)

Actually as a generic feature, let any player participating in game but catching up press pause button resulting in saying hardcoded phrase - "Please pause the game, thanks!"(or let him actually pause the game with explanation message)

Ideally the players would notice that you dropped ans pause.

Perhaps the lobby->ingame mute could only apply to people who are not players in the game. This would allow them to talk to the players from the lobby and remind them that they dropped. It sounds like this change would neatly solve the problem.

I can see conflicts occurring if rejoining players could pause and am I not even sure how to implement it. The players who are still in the game should decide whether they want to wait for someone who dropped. So I would just change things to make them more aware when it happens.

"talk from lobby in game global chat if you're a player of the running game" would really solve the problem!
Overall spec mute is cool thing just needs polishing to handle such cases.
