Lets work on the draft in a separate thread.

[anex]

I was actually hoping to make the zm rules official for now, just to get it out there then create a thread, like this, to debate about current or new rules.

But this works too. We shall keep drafting until we have a final version that everyone agrees with.

Its a God item that makes the human carrying it, immune to being tagged.... unless they drop it.

^just when you thought it could not get any worse

[KɅΞW]

You should add the big vending machine and shelves, or simply anything that is heavier than regular vending machine.

Also, you should clarify that it cannot be use at all or there are exceptions such as; using a money crate to block an entrance that zombie can still crouch through, or putting it next to a book shelf so it cannot move sideways.

As for the tubes, though some might not agree, but I think it should be limited to 2 people per tube. Reason, only two people in the front will be able to see and shoot at zombies, anyone else behind will just waste the space and get tagged without being able to fight back against zombie train.

Humans may not block if the end result is the death of another player(s) -IE World Damage, Map Kills box’s.
This should apply to zombies as well. Yes, there is the !ztele, but newcomers don't know about it and often get screwed over by bored zombies that can't break human's cade.

Admins should be restricted from using team switch on anyone in the middle of a game. For example, changing from CT to Ts so they cannot get tagged by zombie, or vice versa, to avoid taking damage from humans.
Also, they should not be allowed to give themselves extra weapon or grenade, reloading is one of the things that make our ZM server unique, and being able to just change weapons after the clip is empty or spamming grenades would kill this part of the game. Plus, more guns will lag the hell out of the server, imagine 2 admins gave themselves 20 P90 each.


That's all I got for now.
