GG Rules

[maynard]

GG RULES

-Team attacking will not be tolerated, do not attack your team on purpose.

-Exploiting the handicap by leaving and rejoining is not allowed. Any form of rank manipulation will not be tolerated.

-Slaying someone after nade round is allowed and does not go against any rule.

-Camping is allowed within GG provided your camping does not hold up the game, and prolong the round.

-Accepting a knife fight, and not engaging in the knife fight aka running from the fight so the other person is slayed is not acceptable. Any form of manipulation or exploit on the server is not tolerated.

GENERAL SERVER RULES ALSO APPLY (http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php/495-General-Server-Rules-1.7)

I propose a rule on griefing.

Eg. After round, somebody tk's me and jumps on my nade, then slays me to get me off nade.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

it shouldnt be needed but alot of players cry about players who dont accept a knife fight or deny it. Pretty much just leaving the vote box up, resulting in players crying to admins for a slay.

if you think about it, leaing the menu is that same damn thing as disagreeing with the knife fight. Point being, admins should not be punishing players for leaving the knife vote menu up.

That already is a rule

And wtf I know we had it written down somewhere. Any form of purposely getting yourself teamkilled is/was a bannable offence.


@mikey, its one thing when it disappers, its another when you ignore it. Ignoring it prolongs the match and leaves the other player wondering what stratagy to use. Just hit 2 if you dont want to knife. The other player usually is camping waiting for a response.

[Chef C Green]

If you're finding a lot of people just leaving the knife menu open, why not:

A) Find them and kill them
B) Go look for them and end up getting killed (least the round is over :icon_mrgreen:)
C) Why not have a 5-15 second timer on the menu. If a player does not take an action, the vote is automatically set to 2 (Decline knife fight).

Glad we got a full set of rules for all the main servers :wtg:

NO mikey, leaving the vote menu open is NOT the same as saying no.
I've seen it myself where this is exploited in the following way:

Vote menu shows up, player A accepts, player B doesnt vote yet.
Player A assumes player B is ignoring vote, and so they carry on normally with shooting.
Player B tries to kill player A.
IF player B thinks that he is about to die (i,e player A had the upper hand and was about to win)
Then player B automatically presses 1. This activates the knife fight sequence, fully invulnerable and with health reset.
This move prevented him from dying the way he was meant to, giving him another chance to kill player A with a knife fight...
Now tell me how that is fair for player A who is a dedicated and honorable fighter to answer yes??????
it's like being given a chance to shoot down someone by surprise and an automatic pause + reset button when its almost game over by accepting the pending knife fight which the other ALREADY accepted...




Maynard, there actually either SHOULD be a rule about not voting 1 or 2, OR more preferably have zero edit the vote menu program so that after 3 seconds of waiting, it automatically answers NO by default... so that this exploit doesnt get used.

Ive seen this happen many times, and it pisses me off when someone pulls that shit on me... i end up raping their mindless skull in the end of knife fight, bcos i always prefer not using admin powers... but that's just a shitty way to get 2 chances to kill me, bcos i always accept my knife fights...
and it seems like a subjective reason ,but it isnt. Us good knifers feel like this is very unfair.


Also, there are times when the knife menu glitches out and the player cant vote... Naturally, if there was an automatic trigger to say NO after being idle for 3+ seconds, this glitch can be prevented with a universally announced NO, as opposed to having both players wandering the map not knowing if the other is knifing or not. and then theres always smthn that goes wrong.

i know iknow.. double post.
first one was about the IDLE VOTING MENU,
this one is about the punishment menu.

Maynard, do u think it is allowed to "save a slay" for later?
Say someone killed you on nade round, or early in the game... or few rounds earlier,
I've seen people keep the punishment menu open, and then when the guy who accidentally tked gets his nade level, he gets slayed back to glock...

im just curious to see if that fair or not, technically a punishment is a punishment, but to hold on to that slay for a while (say it was relikk or fluffy who killed me,and these 2 get on nade always, i would know, and save that slay for when it is HARDER for them to recover from it..)..

the ONLY thing that might intervene in keeping the menu open, is the map vote, but any time before or after, if u have it open, u can slay say 7 rounds after the shit happened...
thoughts?

really, i have never seen that "Exploit"...... you dont need to write an essay. alot of the times the menu is not there, there is no way to know for sure unless you mandate that every single player has to communicate in the server...

[CYBER]

really, i have never seen that "Exploit"....2 reason: 1-either ppl just click '1' bcos no one is affraid to knife fight you in the first place. Or 2- you'd have to actually be close to killing the other guy to make him go for a hail mary with that 'exploit' that does tend to happen more than u think:) As for the essay, u're absutely right.but split it into 2 posts... The description of the 'exploit' took the majorit of it, along with the other issue im posting.

[h4x0r]

It's fair, that's Genocide's ultimate right? Get shot then re-appear with full HP, oh wait this is GG? How about a WCS GG Server people?

I agree with Cyber. I didn't think about this when maynard posted the rules, however it is another one of those things that 1. delays the round (if the player doesn't choose an option, the other player will sometimes wait for an answer) and 2. exploit, as Cyber said.

[StarsMine]

How has mikey not seen that exploit. I cant even say I never used that exploit myself, I get shot at and hit 1 cause I dont know where.

I think holding a TK menu should be allowed. I never really becomes a problem as the longer you hold it the more likely some vote comes up.

honestly? i dont personally mind holding the TK menu either. i dnt usually punish ppl for it in game, bcos there's no rule on it. i just call it out, saying "that was shitty lol", but i dnt deem it THAT problematic.
if someone is recklesswith their kills, its their fault.

but i do however severely stress that something needs to be done regarding "holding the knife menu"... ive seen u pull that shit off stars:P , you and others. and or immediately press "1' when the enemy freaks u up around a corner,,, its currently a perfectly "legitimate" way to avoid getting killed when u cant tell where someone is shooting at u from ...currently there isnt a rule about it , thats why i call it "legitimate", and THAT's one of the reasons why i want a specific ruling on this (or avoid the ruling altogether and have zero force a default NO value after 3-5 seconds of ignoring the menu

[Steamer]

have zero edit the vote menu program so that after 3 seconds of waiting, it automatically answers NO by default... so that this exploit doesnt get used.

This for Knife Fight votes. ^ Agreed.

Also, I'm all for saving TK penalty for later. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

hey we need to change the motd for the gg it says no excessive camping but that is open to opinon what excessive is

[maynard]

No, it's not open 2 opinion as one the rules clearly state the rule, and 2 Zero has stated several times the exact wording of the rule regarding camping.

unless the round is being prolonged, meaning there's like 2-3 people left and their camping, there is no reason for an admin 2 be doing or saying anything.

[Akoiah]

what is the punishment for leaving and rejoining throughout the map?

[CYBER]

what is the punishment for leaving and rejoining throughout the map? in wcs? None that i know of bcos leaving and rejoining has no benefit except maybe to fix stuck races like vagas and flyers when u swithed off... But in gg this is level manipulation and warrant in kick- 5-minute-ban etc but ONLY if it is 100% sure that it is obvious re-join for levels. So u need to watch that behaviour if it repeats and if they got a gain, and if they had ping spikes before making them go afk etc... Rly case by case scenario for gg, buut if proven level manipulation, punishment becomes exponentially gr8ter the more u did it.

fuck kicking. slay them 2 rounds.

[brett friggin favre]

kicking actually perpetuates the rejoining and helps them even more. :twocents:

[Akoiah]

of course i am talking about gg because this is the gg rules thread :wtg: lol but yeah. i think you guys should be stricter about this rule. i've seen people get killed early in the round, disconnect, rejoin, and get a new life (respawn). it's not just about the handicap. i have a demo :smirk:

[brett friggin favre]

well if we catch it we punish for it. it's kinda hard to see eeeeeverything that happens in the server at any time.
