Grenade Buying

[brett friggin favre]

to my knowledge, it's a (i suppose, unwritten) rule that you can't buy nades endlessly as orc. not sure about the other races as gloves are available to them. of course i could be wrong about both of those, it's just a word of mouth thing that some people get pissy about. clarification would be nice

Any race that is restricted from buying gloves, is a no go.

you can buy as many grenades as you want... there has never been any rule restricting that... it's your money, spend it as you wish... but when using grenades they need 2 fall under the guidelines/rules like no nade spamming objectives etc...

there's just a few things i'd like to point out with this. firstly, it encourages spawn camping, especially for orcs. i'm aware it's not against the rules, unless it's excessive, just something to think about. it also gives orcs on t-side in office (and possibly other maps) a nice advantage, being able to spam very powerful nades basically anywhere they can be attacked from just by standing in spawn. office is a tight map with multiple bottlenecks, being able to spam those nades, if done smartly, isnuts. the limitation on gloves for orcs was implemented for that reason, so they weren't spamming crazy powerful nades...well to me, sitting in spawn and repeatedly buying those nades is a workaround for that which wasn't intended, which seems like exploiting to me.

This - 100% agreed with Brett. It's quite easy to exploit such a rule in multiple maps (think Crackhouse, Assault for T's, Estate, Italy for T's, etc) and this could turn WCS into something most of us not like seeing. I would definitely support a rule against grenade spamming...

Do it as much as you want, the only issue i have is ORC being allowed to do it. the race is not ment to have multiple nades.

Not just orc, but few other races that have critical (or improved nades) should not be doing so either. (at least in my opinion)

The only problem with this logic is that Genocide and Raiden can do the same thing with gloves... I remember a time where Brett Favre was spamming grenades with gloves of warmth on office with genocide specifically. It's quite ironic how his words put the shoe on the other foot.

Why waste time calling someone out? I, along with other admins, have caught you intentionally warding a dropped bomb on multiple occasions. That's irony.

which is perfectly fine, since gloves are allowed on raiden and geno.

your point is...?
