hoi, i want in on this topic;
vent / crouch spots: anyone (i think) would agree that no more than 2 per tube is an obvious done deal, so next. in special cases such as snoopy or fubar ect, that "debate" is just a mess of bs. different admins have different opinions on how it should be, but the inevitable catch is that its damn near impossible to enforce it in the heat of the moment unless an admin feels like taking their sweet time to pay close attention and slay / scold each an every person who crawls in the space after 2 ppl. an even AFTER you do it, it will happen again. scenarios like those are (currently) impossible to maintain steadily, no matter what our ruling is on it. if you wanna try an edit the map an cut down the space in w.e crouch spot it is than that may be the best (only) solution. but in the end i agree with anex completely about those clusterfucked crouchspots; twice the pride, double the fall.
friendly zambies: im in favor i think its fun(ny) to have them. however i only agree to this as long as they arent dicking around and getting in the way, AND that when / if they are caded / hidden with the last remaining humans, that they immediatly tag or ztele out for obvious reasons. its just me but thats the policy ive always gone with an its done well thus far.
slaying / blowing up ppl who ignore admins / break a rule has always been a favorite punishment of mine, so yeah i dont think we need forced ztele back because it just doesnt send people the same message as when they get their asses blown up... but again... thats just me
along with B1ack0uts post, i agree we need a solid master list of legal and illegal cades so there isnt any bickoring or missunderstanding between admins. it just makes us look like idiots in the server when we do that. imo the most critical thing needing to be fixed on the server is how the admins enforce these rules and knowing that admins are enforcing them the RIGHT way and not just based off of a personal opinion. so ya we need a place where all admins can verify what is right and wrong and how to resolve it. or at least revise the one we already have.
teleporters / glitching doors: penumbra or even 4corners for example, i dont think it should be illegal cading teleport-wise. i mean between most the admins/regs, weve ALL proven that you can maneuver around those as a zombie. i mean theres even an abuse thread where bob missguidedly banned a kid for "cade breaking" that teleport spot in penumbra AS A ZOMBIE. so that right there is enough for my opinion on teleport cades. as for glitching doors on the other hand, we already know (i think?!) that its a no no. its just a matter of enforcing it. people do it all the time an its annoying, its just that admins arent paying attention and catching ppl in the act.
the zm/ze Pl@Ying ratio: yeah the rankwhores regs an most admins loathe ze maps, but its what makes all the noobs happy an what KEEPS THEM AROUND! without those obnoxious ze's, us regs can kiss our beloved noobs goodbye when / if we ever decide to make our server zm only, then nobody will wanna Pl@Y. you rankwhores wanna keep your stats goin up? than you can suck it up an sit in spec during ze's, or better yet grow a pair and actually partake. otherwise, no noobs for u, nuff said about that
as for the respect bit being spoken of: that really isnt something we can take charge of or enforce at all. manners an such yeah we can do that. but as for teamwork or zteleing out of a cade when you spawn as zombie, or helping a noob out.. thats just unmanagable. sure as admins we should be making sure everyone is enjoying themselves while they Pl@Y, but we cant make any of those above things manditory because theyre not rules. in the end its all about people as individuals and chosing whether or not we want to be nice to people in game.
o ya... one more thing. the admin panel is glitchy as fck more than often. so if possible, THATS somethin i wouldnt mind being fixed
thats all i got, idk ill post if i think of somethin else
