Re: Sitting down during matches

Just another option... 2046's usual approach is we sit for most of the match, but when we get a large dump of orbit balls/score a supercell/see our alliance score two trackballs simultaneously/score the last innertube necessary for a full ring on the rack/etc., we'll jump up and cheer at the tops of our lungs, just like for a football team scoring a touchdown or something; 8 seconds later we're all seated to me. Maybe this discussion is excluding this type of occurrence and everybody does this as well, but my point being is your team doesn't have to solely sit or stand for the entire match.

Granted I've never been a driver, so I'm not sure to what degree different habits give the best support to those on the field, but it seems to me that emphasizing the best points of the game actually give the support some significance. Getting even more personal for a second, I don't give a standing ovation to every award at the awards ceremony either, as I feel an award like Chairman's or WFA deserves a greater recognition than i.e. website award (sorry webdevs). Same kind of idea. That last part might be a bit more controversial...

Just my $0.02
