I will try to make this even more simple but I doubt itll do much good since I seem to be flying over peoples heads constantly...

This is a pretty pretentious statement when you yourself seem to be "ignoring" or breezing over some of the responses and keep asking over and over. The problem is people don't understand what you are trying to say, it's that you aren't being clear enough. From post to post you're jumping from "Duck hunt is favortism!" to "Is this game fair?" to "Is luck allowed?" and back and forth and so on. It's pretty unclear what exactly you are trying to get at because you aren't really sticking to one issue and keep bouncing around.

Anyways like I just said I think it is a "fair" game if it is using some sort of pretermined order from outside of the game itself (like how the T's lined themselves up or the scoreboard). Allowing the warden to "randomly" choose whatever T he wants to go when in no specific order wouldn't be fair because it would pretty much be favortism and thats why doing that isn't allowed. What you are pretty much proposing is that every game should be "equal" which isn't only lame but unrealistic. The randomness and variability (whether that be "luck" or skill) makes the game more interesting and enjoyable. It feels like I've said a thousand times now you can bring up examples of every single game on the server where it isn't "equal" just like the ones you have a problem with. Is duck hunt not allowed because the later T's get to watch the other T's before them play and learn how to get a better chance of survival? Is spelling bee not allowed because some people on the server don't speak English as their first language? Is Simon Says not allowed because some people aren't as good as listening as others? Is the Shot for Shot LR refusable because someone randomly spawns with the bullet? Is Noscope Battle refusable because of the randomness and unpredictability of noscoping? I could go on for a while listing where "normal" games aren't equal just like the ones you are talking about.

You can't expect everything to be equal, however you can expect everything to be fair. If you give everyone a chance and their likelyhoods of winning are based on some sort of factor which they had some sort of control over, the game is very well "fair" by defiinition. You can't expect to have control over ever single aspect of gameplay because that would just make things plain boring and unfun. Luck is part of jailbreak and so is skill, they both contribute their part in making the game interesting and non repetitive and without them the mode wouldn't be the same.

Because of luck and skill, equal games aren't possible, it simply isn't possible to have a game where every single T has the same exact opportunity because of these variables.

I think I got my answers actually.

Even with most of you not answering my direct questions asked.

A few of you did manage to pick or reply to my direct answers and that was the most useful.

Player created pure luck games are allowed!

Sounds like you only responded to what you think you wanted to hear and completely glossed over Cooper’s points...

Just fair warning, you may think it’s alright, but admins may think otherwise.

They are allowed but don't be an asshole with them and try not to overpay them. Keep it fun for everybody.

To begin with why did you make 3 different posts about the same stupid thing. The only possible answer you should've needed was "Duck hunt is allowed because it shouldn't be anywhere near favoritism. Everyone has to go the same amount of times. Or at least that's when it doesn't become favoritism, and if nobody shoots or performs their action required then you can complain about the CT not playing their role at that designated moment."

You made 3 posts about this, 2 locked by Staff+ and you go against their authorities to make another post because you can't see what you're doing. Don't even know why they didn't ban you from the forums for doing that to be honest with ya. You were answered by staff+ even and yet you failed to understand. PM is an option to.

Thanks for looking on our forums etc, but Geez louise >.> You made such a big deal outta nothing.

It was so we could try and give him his answers and explain him why it was allowed and when exactly it was or wasn't.
But since he just said he got his answer:
