[QUOTE="WizO_Siani, post: 2561116"] [b]Spectators[/b] Here's something to add, though you may have mentioned this in the guide; spectators Those who are watching a combat really ought to refrain from derogatory comments that are not a part of the battle being fought. An example would be two people fighting and a third who is uninvolved in any way commenting that there isn't much action in the fight, or similar, to no one in particular. Thought bubbles don't necessarily make it any more polite: such are often used to troll for reaction. It's one thing to jeer and catcall the badguy as part of the general activity, or as participants on the sidelines as it were, but quite another to have nothing to do with what is going on and just make comments or thoughts of a derogatory nature. For the most part, the people doing the fighting are there for their own pleasure and goals, not necessarily to entertain bored onlookers, though if that happens it is a good thing. A little courtesy goes a long way. Spectators who are not part of the action should get permission from the combatants before attempting to intervene in any way, and asking before initiating sideline cheers/jeers is a very good idea, especially if one is not known to the combatants. Something to think on Siani [/QUOTE]
