As everyone knows, there is a bunch of issues with the limit of people in the vents. I am currently working on a few ideas so that we can better this rule, as I said in my previous post there is both pro's and con's to the rule. Benifits of this would be more gameplay flow, a major issue on the zombiemod is when the entire team is in one crouch spot, and the only thin the zombies can do is either let themselves get killed, or run around like idiots hoping someone will come out of boredom. Also the people in the vents get bored because they zombies don't even try to get them because they know how much of an impossible feat it is to kill them.
If refined this rule could keep the gameplay moving so that the gameplay is constantly moving, and not dead in the water. The cons to this rule is the many different types of vents that each map has, Though there are many different types of vents, it is hard to dictate a rule with such a broadness. It also puts more weight on the admins because they have to figure out how to enforce it. Even more the question is how to tell which person was in there first, and what person came after the spot was technically full.
The answer to those cons? - It was expected that the rule limiting the amount of people in the crouch spots to be rough at first for the admins, though like any rule once it actually picks up and all the regulars get used to it; it tends to become second nature efor the server because everyone is already aware of the rule. As seen with the rest of the rules, given a particular amount of time it will be absorbed the the community (regulars) and helped enforced by them. To who is in there first; the rule allowing players to block each other out of the barricading spots has been allowed, hense whoever gets in there first is responsible for everyone and anyone who enters the barricade after them. If there are to many people in the barricade, or too many people attempting to get in the barricade then the first people just have to block them. There really is on point in over complicating things (Keep it simple).
As for the rule itself, I have come up with a few new rewording for it, you guys can debate on your opinions about it, and hopefully come up with a solution which benifits the server overall.
"Single file vents (one person at a time) is limited to how many entrances are accesable. Single entrance vent are limited to only two people; vents with more than one entrance are allowed up to 4 people in the vent at a single time. (this rule is only limited to having to crouch, if you are in a vent where you are not crouching, then it does not fall under this rule."
