In all my years of playing counter strike in the various versions they have put out, I have never once played on a server where it was absolutely mandatory that if you start with the bomb, you cannot drop it. No one in their right mind would make up a silly rule like that. If at the start of the round, you do not want the bomb, you are not obligated to keep it. On dust2, which is the best example, the terrorists will sometimes have a few people hang back and snipe down mid and/or just watch it to notify their team which way the enemy is going. If one of the snipers has the bomb, why would they keep it? Drop it and let someone without a sniper pick it up to go plant it. In fact, people using sub machine guns are probably the best option for planting the bomb.

I had to throw my 2 cents in on this even though I never play on the ibis pub server because after reading whiteys reply, and I understood what he meant completely, and he never said dropping the bomb when you die, I'm pretty sure he would have written that if he meant that. He meant just dropping the bomb in general while you have teammates still alive. Like I said above, if you do not want the bomb, you are not obligated to keep it. The rules are written down for a reason and there are no hidden ones that people don't know about. Plus, how would they know about them if that were the case?? The rules are the rules, but individual admins use their own discretion and their view of those rules to decide on what to do in different situations.
