#34 Spectators viewing hands
I believe this issue came out before, but I've discovered
another weird aspect to this problem...
Apparently, while a person is in spectator mode, they
can't see people hands, if they were revealed. This
shouldn't be the case in my opinion. It's fun sometimes
to be in spectator mode and to be watching what both
player have in their hands. This would also be a good
thing for a judge that was overseeing a game.
Anyway, here's what I found: I was in a game, and one
of the player revealed his hand to me -- fine and
dandy. Then, when I entered spectator mode, I still
saw his hand. However, when that player drew a card,
I saw "Card" instead of the card name, but still saw thre
remaining cards in his hand. Looked very strange.
Anyway, i think viewing hands should be allowed in
spectator mode. And I think that you should be able to
reveal your hand to a player ALREADY in spectator
mode. However, we at least need consistancy. Let's
not have both revealed AND unrevealed cards at the
same time in the same hand! It's just goofy!
Minor, minor bug, I know...

actually .. I LIKE spectators not being able to see my hand.
Kibbizing is annoying.
in the program you don't actually set your HAND revealed,
you set all the cards in your hand reveald. It's just like
viewing the top four cards in your library, if you draw a card
from thoes four, you shouldn't see the fifth as it moves into
them.

Torgo, while the reveal function on, even new cards will
show up.
I understand your concern about kibbitzing... maybe there is
someway to "squelch" spectator comments.

Making the cards in your hand revealed to spectators should
ideally then be optional.
