Can we please talk about changing the baiting rule from "On top of head", to "Standing within knifing range" in Jailbreak? I know this has probably been brought up a million times before, but a lot of people want this to be a thing.

I think we should change it for a month just so people who want it changed can see what a shit storm it causes. "Why'd you kill him" "He knifed me" "wtf he was in knifing distance" "wow no I wasn't" "omg freekil admin slay now ADMIN HELLO ADMIN PLEASE ADMIN" compared to "he was baiting" "no he wasn't"

Eh, good point, it would spawn endless arguments on just "He was within knife distance" "omg no i wasnt you nerd" But I'm bringing it up because a ton of people want it to be a thing.

That sounds like more of a discussion in the admin meetings rather than monthly.

Btw there are 2 main rules in reference to what you are asking for Flash.
jbrules.php
Rule 60:

Quote:

Do not stand near Ts for extended period of time.

And Rule 44:

Quote:

You may legitimately kill/damage a guard when he is on your head.

Another reason why the rule: baiting is standing near a t isn't in effect is because, for instance if the lead ct needs to get around a pack of t's and it is a tight space, he wouldn't be able to do that without being at risk of being killed. (It's a crap example but you get the point). These rules basically allow cts to control ts easier and make it easier for cts to get from a to b. Because we all know how lopsided it can be when it's like 3 cts against 15 ts.

What this guy said. We do have a rule that stops you from being next to Ts for a period of time, and it’s the admins job to deal with those who stand near the Ts for an extended time, but if they’re on your head, feel free to knife them, but they have to be on YOUR head for you to be able to knife them.

I’ll be sure to vote against this rule being changed, if you need rule clarifications ask the highest ranking admin on the server as their version is final in server, if you don’t trust their judgement ask a staff or post a topic on the forum and we will all clarify the rule as best for you.

Rule changes happen at admin meetings, and lucky for you one is coming up, so post it there, not here. Please stop talking about it.

Just a reminder that CT is GMT-5 at the moment. Don't want our eurofriends showing up an hour late.
