WCS Rules

well my interpretation of what tom was talking about is whether or not wards can be placed directly inside the rescue zone. for example, on assault, can you place wards which touch the hostage rescue zone? keep in mind, there's only one zone there. i was under the impression that these zones were to be treated like bombsites, you can ward around them as long as there's a path and it's not touching the site itself.

Brett would be correct. That was my exact interpretation - and I've always seen it enforced like that.

wards shouldn't touch the bombsite ever.

the question what was asked of me was "can CT's ward there own spawn if there is a hostage zone close by it" my answer was yes, as each team reserves the right 2 ward there own spawn when needed 2 deal with mole's...

as I said, it's situational and really comes down 2 if the person was just using a ward in combat, or if they had the hostages and were dropping them at the start of the rescue zone so no one can follow.

from my understanding of the situation, there was no hostages involved in the scenario, it was simply a matter of "can a ward touch a rescue zone" and the answer 2 that would be yes, office being a prime example.

tiz just another gray area.

The CT ward was DIRECTLY in the hostage rescue zone, not close by... There were no hostages being rescued at that time, but it was definitely IN the area. So just to be clear on the exact rule:

You may ward the hostage zone as long as it does not DIRECTLY interfere with hostage rescue and leaves a path to somehow get there. Would that be correct?

yupyup.

cause if we changed it and the rule was "no warding hostage zones" that would make a even bigger mess of gray areas as it would conflit with other rules... like italy, you would not be able to ever ward your spawn, which we all know is an amazing deterrent against moles and forcing people off the race. pretty much would be the same for office... just makes things even more of a pain in the ass 2 properly regulate and keep on top of.

in office, there were times where i warded a corner of the left-side room, but hosties were still reachable around the ward from the right side in the same room. There was narrow path to them. Narrow, but damageless indeed. People bitched that 'its not allowed to ward hostie rooms at all!' ... Meanwhile any idiot could have simply walked around it (i checked myself... did i just set myself up for this joke??) and save the hosties... So which is yeay or nay? No wards at ALL in rooms containing hosties? Or ok as long as there's that fucking free path?

[maynard]

well they would be correct in that statement cause warding hostie rooms is not allowed... don't confuse this with hostage zones... they are obviously 2 diff things.

but it states right in the rules that your wards cant touch the room hostages are in.... that was added like 7 months ago or so cause people were getting 2 careless and often blocking the objective with wards and causing problems.

when there is a ban on warding something, it means your ward radius can't touch that specific room and or object at all.

4. The objective must be respected and completed. camping is not allowed.

Had people question me on this today about camping hosties as a T and bomb sites as a CT, Common sense tells me that would be the objective, I'd hate to spell every situation out for people but if it would be possible to reword it a bit it would give me far less headaches

Wait, some people lack the common sense to understand that "no camping" is applied to the team that is inclined to do something, aka, their objective? And, essentially, people are complaining when the other team gives them a rough time about it, as they should? There are people actually like this on the server? o.O


Edit: Complaining as in complaining that it is/should be illegal, not general annoyance lol

Could you clarify this stating that whoever must complete the objective is not allowed to camp?

Example: T's can't camp on Dust or CT's can't camp on Italy or Office

And yes, people complain that T's camp the hosties at Italy. Fucking idiotic lol.

Thanks!

unfortunately bane this is the world we live in, people were complaining about camping objectives and i had other people complain that i kept camping in office a little while ago while on T. Apparently its a hard concept to understand

[brett friggin favre]

they can complain all they want. they are wrong.
