Ready check and queue

Spectator slots and the queue#

The servers have player slots plus up to 25 spectator slots. When the player slots are full:

1. You join as a spectator and are put in the queue automatically.
2. When a player slot opens (someone leaves or goes to spectate), the first player in the queue is moved in.
3. !rr_position shows your place; !rr_dequeue leaves the queue; !rr_enqueue rejoins.

With notification sounds on (!sounds), you hear a sound when your queue turn comes.

Skipping the queue#

• Seeding tokens are earned by seeding: playing on the server while it is nearly empty and filling up. Use !skipq to spend one and jump to the front of the queue. Spectators see who used a token.
• Supporter tokens come with the supporter tiers and work the same way.
• Tribute: volunteering to command also skips the queue. See Tribute.

Ready check#

Before a round starts, the server runs a ready check:

1. A READY button appears (pulsing). Click it or type !ready. Commanders are asked first.
2. The panel shows how many players are ready and how much time is left.
3. When enough players are ready the countdown starts; players still in the ready room are put onto teams.
4. If your game window is not focused, the taskbar flashes and (with sounds on) a sound plays so you don't miss it.

You can also click GO TO SPECTATOR if you want to sit the round out and give your slot to the queue.

AFK#

• Players who never leave their spawn room are moved to spectator shortly after the round starts (about 45 s), freeing their slot.
