I have witnessed on the server, when ever a map goes on, for example skate park, some rules of the mouth go into play. Like "no killing before the gate" or things of that nature. I belive personally, that it does damage to the server in a couple of ways. 1) It confuses players. If I join a server, read the MOTD, kill, and get slayed, without braking an MOTD rule, I would be confused. Often times, I have seen somebody do it 2 times, get slayed/kicked. Then some other person does it, for the first time and gets banned becouse an admin get tired. It's confusing to players who have just joined, or are playing for the first time. 2) Too many restrictions take away from the fun. I understand the MOTD and it is more then right. Everyone should follow it. But when we make up rules to maps, that just fit our situation it takes away from the fun. Again using skatepark as an example. It is a smal map in which we are having a "race" to guns. On the way we should be able to knife, which is fun. That is the intention of the map. 3) It loses people. When we, as admins enforce rules that were made up, by a few people, and aren't set in stone, it comes off as admin abuse. People do not like that and leave. What I am saying is, we shouldn't make up extra rules for individual maps. Just stick to the MOTD, for the sake of the server, and the people who play on it. |

the thing about that is that the rules we make help us play longer. On bedroom, if we kill at the cereal bowl, nobody gets to surf the rest of the map. same with skate park. if you get knifed at the platform, you dont get to surf | ||

Anyhow, is confusing players to their best interest? Let them just play the game, with our simple to follow MOTD, and not spam them suddenly when the map changes "NO KILLING BEFORE THE BOWL!!!!!", and slaying them becouse they joineda second after, and didnt see the spam. Keep the atmosphere nice, dont make up bogus rules, that comfort, a few people. Think of the majority who wants to kill. |

You're missing my main point. Too many rules and restrictions, take away from the fun. The MOTD as it is now, is PERFECT. We shouldn't be making up new rules. The fact that they are no in the MOTD just adds to the confussion, so I guess if they really are THAT important, they should be added. But most of them are silly rules, for comfort. | ||
