AnythingBut Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hey guys, Im new to the world of Malifaux but have been wargaming for close to 10 years. Out gaming club has recently taken a huge interest in Malifaux with 6-8 of us all buying initial crews over the past couple of weeks. While waiting for my 'Tina crew to arrive ive been reading and watching as much malifaux related stuff as possible and came across the Vassal module. Is it possible or common for people to join the server just to look for a game already underway they can spectate or is this feature not implemented or would it upset the players if somebody asked to simply be there to watch? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 It's quite a common practice, but it will not mean a lot unless you get in on the Skype call so you can hear what they are doing as well as see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingBut Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Ah I see. so players will usually skype to make the flow of the game easier? I thought there might be a chat dilogue box where players would communicate that I could also see to understand what they were doing. Nevermind. Maybe ill try and get some guys from the club familiar with the programme so we can try it instead. Thanks for the quick reply anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 People are generally good about you joining them to watch, as long as your not too disruptive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 There is a chat box for typing, but Skype or something is so much easier and nicer. Like Ratty said, I've never seen anyone say no to a 'can I listen in' request......there is a way that you can 'lock' the room you're playing in so no one can come in....that's what people do if they don't want to be bothered......the open rooms are fair game.

dgraz Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 *Quietly and sneakily lowers marcus's wounds by 3* *walks away whistling* Ha......I thought the way it was set up now, only the players could make changes....everyone else was an 'observer' and couldn't move or change anything.

Ratty Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 The Hoard of Rats that fills the board around turn 5 when I watching says different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
