With respect Scribble, I'm sorry but I disagree. That doesn't change the fact that what you say will be the law.. You are the clan member. I am an admin. You outrank me. But like I said I disagree.. And I think you should reconsider and change your mind and here is why:

I understand where you are coming from but the way it plays out in game is much different than the way you assume here..

1-People get off spawn at round start. So why would anybody want to go back to spawn because someone wants to scout and drops the bomb at round start? Especially in a time-precious game like this.. Why would I lose time to go back because you want to play different?

The very design of the game defines this.. The bomb rotates to a different player every round in order to MAKE a different player responsible every round..
What you are suggesting is against the game's design..

2-Its a 2 minute round. The player still has time to scout for a while and pursue the mission objective afterwards. Takes an average of 20 seconds to reach objective area from spawn on any given map. i.e.: You scout with bomb in dust2, then you chose a site and get on the way. Without exploiting time-frame of course.. You would even be able to change weapons..

3-Its nothing but common sense to expect the guy with the bomb to actually try to plant the bomb. And the generally players in Pub play that way..

4-Allowing the players to purposefully drop the bomb opens up to exploitation of the entire idea of Pub being a mission-oriented server. This is the worst aspect..

If purposeful bomb dropping is allowed there will be no TEAM play.. The act of dropping bomb is saying "I just want to do something else, go plant your own bomb"..

The level of this exploitation would kill the very idea of Pub.. From administrative point of view, it would also make it unmanageable..

Here are some scenarios for you of whats going to happen if this is allowed:

- All players start throwing the bomb to each other..
- All players start throwing the bomb to ground and say "its ok and somebody should pick it up"
- The bomb will be dropped at spawn every round. Eventually all REGULAR players who play according to design will leave of frustration because a good player would not want to go back to spawn and lose time instead of positioning himself on the map..
- When one CT left, the guy with the bomb will drop it and go try to find him instead of following objective..

I can write many more.. These are the ones that actually happened before.. So they were the first to come to my mind..

Allowing purposeful bomb drop is a huge mistake. It will cause major problems.. And will ruin Pub's gameplay..
I urge the clan members to re-consider.. This is very important.

Best Regards
