killing hosties

[maynard]

if you have problems with time left, you're camping. unless it's militia

this is true.

and aco, that's always been enforced on the server, since the rules went into play as it's just a cheap tactic 2 win... you have enough time 2 get the hostages if you don't drag your ass... maybe it was lost in the background noise of new adimns making up there rules... which tends 2 happen quite often, but killing the hosties was never tolerated.

doesn't matter though, if zero wants it green lighted, it is.

unless they're Asian.

the asian is a lie.

huh. i always (note, even back when the respecting objectives rule was first made) was told/had it explained (by yourself, blade, zero, etc) that the rule was created to force people to do the objective, and not just sit there. nothing about HOW the objective was to be done ever came up. indeed, it was made because some people decided to just hide instead of attempting anything, so as to not lose their guns in dying.

bottom line, the consequences that come from strategically playing is sufficient. there are three ways the hostie end up dead, first and most common, they get caught in the cross fire. Second, a terrorist kills them (which is and has always been against the rules.) Thirdly, a CT knows he dosnt have enough time due to the current odds and offs the remaining hostie to win the round. The last one HARDLY happens

Lol pretty sure I know why I made the rules, thanks though. That rule was specifically made 2 ensure the bombs get planted and that people stop killing the hostages as a cheap way of winning... as before the rules were implemented WCS was kind of like the wild west... anything really went....

also, back in the day people didn't ever really do it, as it was not allowed (once rules came into play) it wasn't till over the last year when my presence has lacked in server that new admins and regs started trying 2 change various rules, or make up claims as 2 how things are.

for example, we all know the rule regarding 1 per team races as it comes up all the time... but there's still new people who try and challenge it for some odd reason... owns fighting with the new regulars recently being proof of that... if something is left un challenged long enough, people will start thinking that's how things actually go.

There is not a single need or reason 2 kill the hostages as you have more than ample time 2 complete the objective.... all it is, is people trying 2 find loopholes in winning. so what if 1 single person loses a bit of money from killing the hostages? the entire team all benefits with the winning the round bonus... including the person who shot them... the cash every 1 gains beyond out wieghts the cash the 1 single person loses... I'm not saying this 2 try and convince any 1 we need 2 change it, as zero made a decision and ill respect that.... just explaining my reasoning and why it was never allowed.

I haven't read the whole thread yet but this statement right here is true so damn true it needed to be quoted alone. I haven't played since the beginning of wcs but I have played for years on wcs. A good couple of examples:

Poison Smokes being considered wards. -I was wrong about this but I have seen MANY people banned for smoking the objective. I was never really hooked on wcs back in the day when Maynard played a lot, so I don't know all the rules like he does, I just know how they have been enforced over the years.

Wards on dropped bomb. - This one was never a problem though until recently a dispute came up about it.

Killing Hosties. - This thread...

I've seen people kicked and warned for summoning into wards for not giving the summonee a fair chance to fight back. :/ but yeah most rules, that are not in the official post, get challenged >.<

there is no punishing of people summoning into wards... we don't punish people for using team work on WCS... that's exactly how the server should be played.

if there is EVER any form of miscommunication or understanding of the rules, PM me. I'm happy 2 resolve any situations regarding the rules.

I haven't seen anyone suggest it, but what about making the hosties invulnerable? or could this just be exploited as a meat shield too often? Unless there's a way to make the bullets pass through the hosties as if they weren't there, then they'd have to be rescued.
