General Server Rules 1.8

[yours' truely]

I totally agree about fast zombies on escape maps. Keep in mind that I hate escape maps.

Banning though? It's not an official rule so I think a ban is a bit overboard... even for 5 min.

I think a better course of action is to announce at the beginning that after the first round fast zombies will not be allowed. If there is a fast zombie then freeze them for the rest of the round. I think that freezing is a much better course b/c not everyone is fluent in english or don't pay attention to chat/voice. If that's the case, then once they're frozen I'm pretty sure they will start paying attention to chat/voice a bit more and find out why they were frozen.

If freezing a player for fast zombie does become regular practice, I would hope that the admin and other regulars that are aware of this will try to let him know why.

That's exactly what they do nowadays (Freezing instead of banning.) I hope.. But the real solution will come when the next version of ZM is released.

This is like the other times though.. When admins also started to enforce the common courtesy of not having more than two people in tubes at a time. Or when they even enforced the common courtesy of zteleing out of a barricade if you turned into a fast zombie. Or telling people to not barricade in certain spots instead of just asking them not to, even if skilled players could break into them.

But really, admins do have to often make calls on what is fair and what is not.

about zteleing when tagged in a cade, the bro code. I'm not a big fan of this.

Some times trying to break a cade is nearly impossible with the combination of all the ppl inside and the quality of the cade. I've often just had to sit outside the cade, tube or vent and wait for an impatient player to stick their head out or get to close to the opening. When that happens, i jump up and tag them.

Cade is intact, but now my (2million hours) time spent camping them pays off with a Z inside to tag the rest. It's a real buzz kill when they immediately ztele out. I think that if ppl didn't ztele out that would make things more suspenseful when you get into a room with all these strangers.

It's different for a few others though (including me). People leech, and end up becoming the first zombie and killing you. When obviously you wouldn't have died if they weren't following you. It just gets annoying.. So Hobo and I pretty much thought up the common courtesies, and Res named it "The Bro Code." You don't have to follow it, people just end up respecting you more and relying on you more if you do.

Though this mostly applies when it's just you and one or two friends in a cade. Not when there's 20 people in one small room.

"III. Revisions
The rules are never totally set in stone, there are always people finding new unimaginable ways to ruin peoples fun. In addition sometimes it is necessary to spell out in stone some things that are highly contested to make it dead clear. Revisions will follow a X.x format and X will always change the version after x=9. x also starts at 0 and X starts at 1. The current revision is listed at the top of the post on the right hand corner and in the topic title"

Most players on GG server (including me) do not like people coming in and constantly camping to increase their stats/progress and it makes for an unstable community. There are many people that get extremely upset with campers to the extreme that they votekick them or if an admin is available to deal with them so it will stop.

When I play in GG I put up a message in "say" addressing the camp issue: NO CAMPING on this server unless you have a regular AWP or Scout! The reason for the two guns should be obvious but I'll explain. Those two weapons need to be opened up scope wise to enable a player to make their shot (most of the time) and thus giving others the advantage of un unknowing knife on that weapon holder. Now yes there are other scoped weapons but they can easily, even in close quarters be used to kill w/o the scope being opened up.

IMHO this should become a rule of revision and enforced by admins when possible.

I will use a multitude of variety (slap-burn-freeze-blind, etc.) to drive my point to the player after bringing the message back up and also warning them to move.

Camping sucks and everyone knows this. Does it suck on GG? I'm not so sure...camping on GG more than 1 round and in the same place is basically a free kill to anyone with a brain on the opposing team.

Sure, I will camp every single round until I get off AWP/Scout...but on certain maps I will chill in a certain area every once in a while and wait for a kill. Especially when I know an opposing player will be coming my way...I'll sit there and twiddle my thumbs and then BAM...and even then someone will be like " fuckin' campers ". Ya know?

I mean I TOTALLY understand where you are coming from if someone is chilling with machine guns and stuff and camping round after round after round...it DOES suck, but like I said...the other team should know by now where that person is going to be and to just walk up and BAM.

Punishments for camping though? ehh....

[loka]

lol. Camping in GG is pointless. Hence why this is the lamest rule. I'm sorry if you can't kill the freekill, but its the dumbest shit to put punishments on. ZERO stated pages ago on this thread that it's a free kill. it's pointless to try to install a no camping policy in GG. Camping in pub CS is a totally different story and annoying. However in GG, I can't understand how people can get pissed about someone camping in 1 spot. Camping is defined in CS as someone who stays in 1 spot for more than 1 minute. Apparently your definition of camping is someone who isn't moving which is a piss poor definition of camping and I suggest you play leagues before trying to open your mouth with your definition of camping.

Camping isn't horrible in GG. Dennis just has issues with it which is his own damn problem because everyone else seems to not have an issue with it. Case in point people have more fun and can play the game when your off rather then blinding, burning, freezing, whatever lame bullshit you do because after awhile it's annoying and it's called abuse.

[loka]

And just so we're clear what camping is... these 2 guys are obvious campers



There's a difference between strategy and camping. That is just annoying and they never planted the bomb, and sat in the same spot for the entire round (obvious annoyance of camping in pub and why it's pointless in GG because of the size of GG maps). The point of GG is to level up. Playing in GG I haven't seen anyone get upset about campers. They don't exist in GG.

funny video lol

[DeadEyeDeNNi$]

I disagree but if you think I'm wrong then I'll back off the camping rule and let's see how it goes.. My bet is that after I inform the masses that they should come here to post their complaints that the boards will be inundated with more posts than desired...

Over and out
