It was just a joke because I always get flamed by people for spelling errors.

About the eventing

Is there a variable that can be checked to determine if a player is spectating?
I was talking to a friend of mine who's played blockland for a total of like 3 hours about the events needed to work this brick
He said i should find some way to do

On playerleaveminigame> Vce ifvariable> player is spectator
on false> playing> decriment 1

I'm not aware of any variable specifically for whether or not a player is spectating, but I'm going to try
onplayerleaveminigame> ifvariable player datablock = no-jet player
on true> decriment 1
and
onplayerleaveminigame> ifvariable player health > 1
on true> decriment 1

to see if this will prevent spectating players from subtracting an additional point by disconnecting.

Edit: (upon referring to http://scatteredspace.com/forum/index.php?topic=346.0 to help me event this, I learned that variables arent what I thought. I thought values were things players couldnt change, such as player count and server time, but I learned it included health and points and everything else. forgive me for referring to everything as a variable.)

Alright, so I took the time to open a passworded server and try to test out the events.

First of all, where do you get this "on minigame spawn" event? I only have death, join, kill, leave, and reset

Anyway, when I tested the events, the output was only triggered when I did it!
I had
OnMinigameDeath > ifvalue > <var:cl:lastmsg> = Hi
Onactivate > ifvalue > <var:cl:lastmsg> = Hi
Ontrue > set color > green
Onfalse > set color > red
I painted it black again after each test

To test it out, I said HI, clicked it, it turned green. I said No, clicked it, it turned red. worked the same way when i tried it with my alt talking and clicking.
The i joined my server with my alt and joined my own minigame.
the problem is that when my alt said "Hi" and Self Deleted, the brick remained black. when I said "Hi" and Self Deleted, the brick turned green.
painted it black again, said "No" with my alt and Self Deleted, the brick remained black. when I said "No" and Self Deleted, the brick turned red.

Tested it with the first event at onminigamekill, and it only changed color when I killed myself with my alt. not when the alt was killed.
If I changed the target of the first event to "client" and said HI and Self Deleted, it'd turn red. when i clicked the brick, it'd turn green. odd. (still didnt change when alt Self Deleted)
Changing the target to "minigame" produced the same result as "client"

Made another brick with onminigamedeath>client>centerprint>"toast"
When i Self Deleted, I saw "toast"
when my alt Self Deleted, there was no text.
Changed it to onminigamedeath>self>setcolor>blue
when i Self Deleted, it turned blue.
when my alt Self Deleted, it stayed black.
-an interesting note is that when the brick was onminigamedeath, it did not change when i was killed by my alt, nor when I killed my alt.
When I was killed by a zombie, the brick turned blue, and when my alt was killed by a zombie, the brick did not change color.

Conclusion: we can throw the idea of using player's deaths to lower the variables out the window.

Function gameconnection::onClientEnterGame(%client)
{
   $aliveplayerlist[%client.bl_id] = true;
   Parent::onClientEnterGame(%client);
}
Function gameconnection::onDeath(%client);
{
    $aliveplayerlist[%client.bl_id] = false;
    Parent::onDeath(%client);
}

Function gameconnection::spawnPlayer(%client);
{
    $aliveplayerlist[%client.bl_id] = true;
    Parent::spawnPlayer(%client);
}


General idea type up on my iPod :/ alot of errors in this, but it's the basic idea of how to start this idea of using only live and in mini people, I could make this Tom probably

Okay, a few things:
1: I have a great idea for a use of this brick in my map. I've been trying to make a Rescue Closets work with my left 4 block builds for awhile, but nothing has worked. With this onallplayerstouching event, I can make a room for the players to respawn in. Have the mini start with the plate in this respawn room evented to teleport to the safehouse, and once the door is opened, disable it so dead players who respawn are inside the box. once a player opens the door to a rescue closet, an event on the plate is enabled to teleport the waiting players into the room to play. I've done this before, but the problem was that with respawn on, there was no way to have an automatic trigger for when everyone was dead. With this event, I can make it so when all the players on the server are in the respawn room, the minigame will reset.        please make this
2: While experimenting with VCE and trying to work out what night fox suggested, I ran into a problem when i tried to

have onplayerenterzone check to see if the variable "touching" is equal to the variable "playing"

I dont know how to do this, and the guide i was reading didnt mention it. When it asks you to fill in
Ifvariable [   ] = = [    ]
What do you do to enter if "touching" is equal to "playing"?
I tried to enter the names, but it didnt work. I changed the names to A and B just to see if it was a typo, but that didnt work. is it possible to check variables with other variables? is it possible to modify a variable according to another variable? (IE variableA - the number of players playing)

This may be difficult to do, but I have a way to do this.

Thanks for letting me know

Eh. I think I'll try making this.

I have a way to do this.

I've PMed the people who offered assistance and didnt reply, and I'm gonna move this to the front page one more time.
If nobody responds even after all this, I guess I'll have to give up and let the idea sink into the depths of the suggestions and requests board.
