Spectator Mode

[Ruisedeer]

Hello, I want cubecraft to add spectator mode to most of the games. You can just join an already started game as a spectator. This is possible for every minigame on cubecraft. They could make another board in lobby's where you can join them.

No thanks.
This would encourage ghosting more than anything, which, thankfully, isn't too bad right now.
Ghosting is incredibly annoying for games where players, for example, create a trap. The trap wouldn't be effective if the target already knew it existed, so ghosting would give them that information without actually having to do anything.
Trapping is just one of many things that would be ruined due to more ghosting, so joining to spectate isn't something I'd want to see.

No thanks and no need for an explanation, Gainfullterror already explained it.

I do not agree, unless only players of your party are allowed to spectate.

Then they're going to tell each other where everyone is or if there are traps etc.

Only staff can do so

Also not to mention people not wanting to be followed
Also too many people in 1 game will start to cause lag
This is why lobbies have maximums

The only fully positive application I can see for this would be in arcade: for off-peak times to allow players to join an ongoing game with fewer than 12 players so they don't have to wait for a populated game to go into the waiting stage / alternatively join an empty lobby that won't reach enough players (better explanation here).
