I like to watch epic Red Alert battles (because I am not so good and my mouse is very bad) and lately I've noticed that I can spectate if I join an open game and choose "Spectate". However, sometimes I get kicked and sometimes everybody quits the game.
Is it not done to spectate? Can spectating slow down the game (by creating lag)?
Further: it would be nice if people could also join in as a spectator once the games have started.
Me and Blunt have kind of a bromance going on. He calls me BergZoid and then I shoot five of his grenadiers with a pillbox during the first two minutes of every game. American Blunt is actually a pretty solid player - with a tendency to use annoying tactics. The one time we played together, we demolished the other team. It was impressive.
If you're going to kick somebody, kick the dude from Germany (James?) who insists on trashing all his teammates. If anybody you play with publicly blames his team, log their IP and ban them.
