Messing around in the Dueling Rooms

Recently, I've gone onto a server and found people hitting the others in the line, running around the matrix room, using force powers, shooting guns, taunting, laming, and really just messing around a lot while others, in that same room, are trying to duel or wait in line to duel peacefully. I'd appreciate, that if you'd like to mess around while others are dueling, to do it in another, empty room that isn't being used. It should be obvious that messing around like this disturbs the people who are trying to duel.

Basically put: You go into a dueling room that people are dueling in, two people are/will engage(d). There will probably be a line coming from the center of the side of the mat that you see when you enter the room for those who wish to duel next. If you want to duel, go to the back of this line as soon as you enter the matrix, else if you wish to spectate, stand well away from the line and the duelists, jump onto one of the benches, or go into the observation deck. Everyone but the duelists shouldn't move around too much, and the people in the line shouldn't move out of line unless they no longer wish to duel. If you do wish to mess around, again, please take it to another room in the map.

Now, I don't mean to take away any fun you guys may be having while waiting in line, just try not to mess around much and distract the duelists. :)

It's a simple request. Please consider what I've written the next time you go into a dueling room.

Thanks. :)

Also, you can learn from watching people, which isn't too hard to do while waiting in the line.

If you really want to challenge someone waiting in line, feel free to do it and, if they accept, go duel in another matrix room - there's nothing to say you can't or that you shouldn't.

As far as my untrained eye can see, it just seems like people like waiting.. often they don't even chat whilst waiting.. oh well, whatever floats your boat..

It makes it more organized so that you get to duel different people...most of the time, anyway. :D

its cuz everyone wants to duel the guy whos winning

yeah but why?
it's not that because you can beat someone else (or get beaten by someone else) that you won't learn as much from this other person than you would have learned from the 'winner'

Or at least that's how I view it

While we're halfway on the topic, how come people actually get in queues to duel..? There are three duelling rooms, just by counting the matrices, and I feel fairly confident there's no need for four-five people to stand in line instead of going to the other rooms.

Yeah it gets annoying but even more annoying is people running in and out of the room. As well all know it lags it up. I feel like talking like my mom used to. "STOP RUNNING IN AND OUT....I MEAN IT!";)

Well said Sete!

I would like to add, that for people with slower computers (like me lol) often when someone in the room does a 'taunt' or especially keeps taunting over & over again, while I'm in a duel, I lose a few frames similar to a lag, and it totally screws up the duel. I don't wan't to sound like I'm whinging, and I wouldn't have mentioned it but this thread seems like the right place to do so, so I just did. :P

well just because you feel that way doesnt mean everyone else does. Personally I find people shooting guns, swinging sabers and jumping around (especially onto the matted area) extremely annoying, not to mention breaking a few rules. Good post Sete.

idk.. i can agree with sete's point but i cant apply to it. I never really notice people outside the duel until the duel is done. And if you are destracted by people outside the duel, your not paying attention.The only thing that destracts me is when the door opens XD.

And so do you.

On another note, I agree Sete, but I guess I tend to do foolish stuff like that myself some times.

Pwnd. :D

Being interrupted these ways is very annoying indeed. It would be very appreciated if people put an end to it. :) Moreover, if you're doing something that can be seen as interupting and someone asks you to go to an empty room, please do so without causing any fuss. :)

Yeah guys treat those on the mat as you wish to be treated, nothing worse than getting knocked to the floor by someone your not dueling jumping over you or bumped by someone just running around. So please be mindful of those who are dueling. :D

Oh, and please stop the taunt spaming once or twice is funny but 87 times is not.
