Should I allow more clients to connect to the server than Max Num allowed to play? Basically, inorder to tell them (reply) that the game is full, NOT because I want a spectator mode. Does that sound logical or would it be a bad idea to allow more than are allowed to play? Thanks

No that isn''t a bad idea. In reality that is the only way to do it
