Because Mr. Book....
There's always the chance kbroke will come to troll the lobby...
Or HuyMac will come TO TELL ME HOW HE OWNS MY MOTHER VIA THE FEDERAL RESERVE....
Or JakeMac will come and then I CAN USE BIG ADULT WORDS and he won't understand....
Or because Star might join and I can badger the host to allow wail so I can wail my teammates...
Or some troll will pretend to be a dev, at which point I will incessantly bitch at them for taking down the troll list (which they inevitably will know nothing about)....
Or because I want to make damn sure the Chinese players fixed their proxy so they don't lag like hell...
Or because I want to be the person that sends the number....and I want the number to be 4.5....
