[MERGED PR] Joining round as observer prevents the RP Respawn Timer from applying

[Emimiyu]

Now you might say "well punish those who are doing it then", however this behaviour is *common and accepted* at this point, and mechanics preventing this kind of gaming the round are needed because it's simply to the point where it's a little ridiculous. If you choose to observe, you are choosing to watch the round, not abusing the ability to see everything dictating how and when you decide to interact with the round. This should have no impact on those who choose to play the round, either from the start or by latejoining, it's specifically changing how "I choose to observe" behaves and bringing it more in line with the way it was originally meant to be.

What's stopping the admins who primarily play on RP from banning those people though. I think people will probably stop doing what you don't want them to, if you just drop the banhammer, right?

It is kinda one of those ambiguous "How do you even report this" situation. For example, someone latejoin as a doctor because all of their friends are playing meddoc and having their own circle drama. How would you even report it as player, you don't know who are on ghost role? This also seems like one of those things that seem harmless, but once it becomes a habit, it can change the flow of a lot of rounds.

But meh, I am unsure as a player if this is one of the case. I am basing this on one of the pinned message about metagaming on the discord.
