a) Please explain how it would something that the server admin would could take care of, as I noticed the same thing by:
#1 Started BZFLag client.
#2 Selected
Join Game
#3 Selected
Start Server.
#4 There are different options there, but I selected
Start.
#5 Once I saw the words
Server Started under Start, go back one step (ESC by default).
#6 Select
Connect
#7 Span on server my server that I just created.
#8 By default pause and unpause key is the letter
P.
b) Will try running the server against my self ( autopilot as need be or a second computer) as need be to see if I can stay paused during a team capture...
[EDIT] Verified. You can not stay paused if the other team captures your flag, but by default you sure can stay paused if your team captures the other team flag.
By default, I mean I did not change the source code in any way.
