Sir Lacelot of Camelot Options

[Lord Lipton]

i had big problems with this particular gentlemen this morning after i took down his G2 very quickly (it was a 1 v 1 at the time..) on barb. he was at my R3 and wouldn't have made it back in time to stop the base from exploding so he killed himself and respawned in time to try and defuse the base (i killed him and prevented it) but i told him its not allowed to go spec or kill yourself to respawn and get new ammo/defend a base. he commenced to say FU! I DON'T F'ING CARE! I WILL DO WHAT I WANT! and i told him how i was a former MOB member, and i know the rules (after he accused me of not knowing the rules...blahblah) and he just kept attacking me. everytime i'd die he'd say shit like "AWHH POOR LIPTON COMPUTER NERD" and stuff.



since he said he told me he didn't care if he was banned from anything, please can someone do the honors?

Interesting discussion...

I'll agree entirely with MoD and NoClass on this one... Although I don't think I've ever done it - as in most cases you can grab a jeep and make it back to a base in time to defuse regardless of where you are on the map. I definitely don't have a problem with it and I would even consider it an honourable action.


I think long-distance shelling is FAR more lame and cheesy, and should thus be a bannable offense.

And now this thread is winding down, I stand by my opinion that what is lame and cheesy is a matter of opinion, not fact. As we can see, many hate long distance shelling. About 75% of public servers kick for spawn killing. My opinion...you make like some of these methods, you may not. But it remains nothing but opinion if they are lame and cheesy when they can be done within the game without cheats or exploiting a glitch.

The negative against the "gernade suicide" thing seem to be because they don't mesh with TWL rules. However, TWL rules are not scriptures of God. They are rules that work within a game where everyone on a team is using voice communication, and thus, can cooridinate defence and offence. A public server game means often not knowing if 5 people are falling back to try and save a base, or none. Thus, what works for TWL, what makes sense for TWL, and what is enforcable in TWL doesn't necessarily make sense for public based games.

Is it "gernade suiciding" a realistic manuveur...no. But we turn off spawn killing on a public server. That's not realisitic either. And neither is killing at spawn points. But we allow it, and that's the way it is. Personally, I really dispise getting hit by a far away pak right in the spawn! That's my main beef. But unless we make a clear rule against it, then it's fair game because it's in the game.
