Does this game even have GPs?

If so, do none of them watch the spars? I constantly see people getting queued into their friends and instead of sparring, they decide to just sit there for whatever reason.

Just pretty annoying as it seems to happen all the time.

tldr; gps please watch spars for people idling w/ a friend clogging up queue

They have other things to do, theres a timer for those types of people that decide to make a fool of themselves. Wait till the timer runs out and you can spar again until they come again that is.

I would be more worried if GPs have nothing better to do than watch friends trolling in spar.

Rarely do GPs just sit around and actively watch for rule-breaking. They read reports and then respond and watch.

Even if reports were slow and they could watch at their leisure, there are more important places to watch for rule-breaking than spars.

the last thing iClassic needs is more GPs

if anything, and especially pertaining to the example you're posting, they need more scripters with actual experience in game
as in, players who have played iClassic and experienced the community and game itself, who are able to script

if they had more staff like that, just off the top of my head I can name things they could script up specific to problems in sparring:

immediately end the spar and give a loss to a player who has remained in the same position for more than 30 seconds (would make 5-minute ties in the event of disconnections so much better)
immediately tie a spar if no one takes damage in 1 minute (would make ties faster for those idiots who queue and refuse to spar)

it's not like these are even genius ideas, it's just the fact that none of the current scripters know or care about these issues because they don't regularly play the game

there are so many little things that can be done to improve things in this game
when I was last staff on UN, Ruxxter and I did so much work, yet the thing people seemed to appreciate the most is making it so that players can type "ICW" rather than "I call winner" to queue into spars
which took literally 3 seconds
