View Full Version : Expanded MOTD for Prison Break



Caution
24 Dec 2008, 07:17pm
Here is an ever-growing list of some of the rules in Prison Break that can not actually be mentioned in the MOTD. This thread should answer some of the many questions asked by the players and / or admins.

* Death games such as Simon Says or death races are only allowed if the Terrorists agree to it.

* If you are the last Counter Terrorist alive, you are NOT allowed to free kill anyone you see. Just be aware that if you are the last one alive, they very well could be armed, depending on the situation.

* DO NOT LEAVE AND REJOIN TO AVOID MUTES. Just wait until the round is over if you want to call someone a free killer :cheesy:

* CT's are required to give warning shots for petty rule breaking. However, if a T is blatantly rebelling (going into an area to escape, being somewhere they shouldn't be, running away, etc) then they can be killed.

* CT's can repeat the same orders only for two rounds in a row.

* CT's can not plant guns under any circumstances, unless an LR is being honored.

* Last requests are NOT required.

* CT's can not state "Same rules as last time," the people who just joined won't know what the hell you're talking about.

* CT's can not force the Terrorists to do something that can kill them, such as drowning them or making them go into a death chamber.

* While playing as a T, always remember that if you're next to a teammate who has a gun, you very well could be caught in the crossfire.

* Killing AFKs is no longer at admins discretion. If a CT gives orders and someone is AFK, they are considered to not be following directions and can be killed.

* There is no specific time CT's must open the cells, but please try and get them opened by 4, if not sooner.

* CT's do not have to have a mic to give orders, although it does help!

* Vents, armory, and CT catwalks can be automatic death if you are caught by a CT, depends if they are nice enough to let you go.

* Camping is allowed as a CT. They can camp every round if they see fit.

* Do not intentionally throw a flash / smoke grenade at a T, they do lose health from it!

* No martyring! This means as a CT you are NOT allowed to run with a grenade in hand into a group of T's! Some jerk will knife you and then it will damage the entire group.

* Under no circumstances may any admin alter these rules in-game, unless they have been changed by the higher ups. If you see any admin doing so then ask them to stop, and if they continue then record a demo and report them.

* Respect other players / admins, and know that an admin can not slay / kick / ban somebody if they do not witness it.

Higher-ups feel free to edit / delete anything you deem necessary.

I like it, looks like you put a lot of time into it and every rule on their seemed to be causes of players having to ask admins to come in and take care of. Well done and this looks sticky worthy imo.

thanks :bigsmile:

and yea, i don't at all expect people to read this before they play, but if there is ever an argument about some of these rules, this can be a link to that certain rule.

good, but also add "Do not abuse voteban"
and also this must be in HTML format, it is so long that u have to scroll down to read it all, and that cant be done unless its HTML.

and also, as a regular PB player i highly recommend that these rules, or something very similiar, will be added. As it is now, many people are pushing the rules, and saying "its not in MOTD"

so i support these rules and this thread <=P

all well and good but until this is applied to the motd, no one will follow...

if it aint in game, it doesnt pertain.
A few admins enforce, others dont.

I think afks should be moved to spec almost right away..Im sure if someone can live through a round after being free killed and can live trough being moved to spec for a round...
Dont be afk if you dont want that to happen..
This is to long to be in MOTD I think they are ways to make it shorter other than that:clap: great work..

After talking with a BD, they said that for right now, the AFK situation is upon the admins' discretion. I don't expect this to go in the MOTD in-game, but possibly stickied like Garfield's :bigsmile:

I've noticed a problem with long MOTD's in CSS recently and that is when you try scroll down, tends not to work..
Just if we need to extend MOTD's - would prefer one sentence guide to stop by forum in certain section to read the extended rules and such.

Death games such as Simon Says or death races are only allowed if the Terrorists agree to it.

Do all, most, or only the ones who want to participate of the t's have to agree

The ones who agree can play. So if 14 T's want to play and one T doesn't, do NOT kill him for death games.

* Don't abuse vote ban! Just realize that it is highly possible that the reason you were killed was an accident or because you were caught in the crossfire. No need to vote ban them, just wait a few minutes until the round restarts.

* CT's can not state "Same rules as last time," the people who just joined won't know what the hell you're talking about.

* CT's can not force the Terrorists to do something that can kill them, such as drowning them or making them go into a death chamber.

* While playing as a T, always remember that if you're next to a teammate who has a gun, you very well could be caught in the crossfire.

* Don't mic / text spam.

* Don't advertise.

* An admin can deem any spray they see as inappropriate and request you to stop using it.

* As of right now, killing AFK's is upon the admins discretion that is on at the time.

* There is no specific time CT's must open the cells, but please try and get them opened by 4, if not sooner.

* NO TEAM KILLING

* CT's do not have to have a mic to give orders, although it does help!

* Vents and armory can be automatic death if you are caught by a CT, depends if they are nice enough to let you go.

* Camping is allowed as a CT. They can camp every round if they see fit.

* Do not intentionally throw a flash / smoke grenade at a T, they do lose health from it!

* Do not free shoot / free kill.

* No martyring! This means as a CT you are NOT allowed to run with a grenade in hand into a group of T's! Some jerk will knife you and then it will damage the entire group.

* Under no circumstances may any admin alter these rules in-game, unless they have been changed by the higher ups. If you see any admin doing so then ask them to stop, and if they continue then record a demo and report them.

* No racism, period. Take that somewhere else.

* Respect other players / admins, and know that an admin can not slay / kick / ban somebody if they do not witness it.

Note: This is by NO means something everyone must read in order to play prison break, this is simply something that can be reflected upon if it is discussed about in-game or on forums. All suggestions are open. Please do not flame this thread.

Higher-ups feel free to edit / delete anything you deem necessary.



Thank you Caution, for telling us this, however whenever i try and read the motd it never lets me read it only maybe 1-8 then nothing i cant read anything under that! we may need to also attempt to fix this?:confused1:

anything on guns in a holster or not?

16 Jan 2009, 03:23pm
If it's a holstered secondary weapon, warn them. Or just simply say "Nobody have any guns on them period. Now is your chance to drop it." Be careful with this though, a lot of times teammates will plant their guns on other T's to try and get them killed.

With a primary, shoot to kill, holstered or not.

Question, you said ct's can camp every round. But if they camp no one will open the cells right? Meaning if all ct's camp, all t's are stuck in cells.

Well, if an admin is on they will have the cells open (usually) by around 4. By "camping," that means they are allowed to open the cells and go wherever they please and sit there and just wait.

made up by some 9 year old kid that hought he owned the server, killing a CT guarantees a "kill on sight" for you, no matter what the circumstances are

Another thing that needs mentioning is forcing Terrorists to freeze infront of their cells. The CTs will kill the Terrorists at the slightest movement of the mouse. This has been happening more often and I believe we need a rule against it.

Are teleporters considered insta kills? Because when people use the one on razor to go to soccer the cts just open fire on you right away. And also the walkways on minijail and razor, because i've seen cts insta kill people for being on those too and no one ever seems to argue.

If someone says "No teleporters", or "Don't leave your cells", then they can kill you if you teleport. Same goes for when they say "No past first cell", if you teleport to a place past first cell then you die. And other times they say go to showers and stay in showers, knowing that if you tele somewhere else, they can kill you.
