"Rules" admin's enforce on certian maps

[tank40175]

I just wondering why people will be threatened with ban for use of secret rooms on certian maps, or like using stairs on black mesa instead of elevator. If it is designed into map, and u don't want to take elevator, are you not allowed to play map as you wish, or are these legitimate rules that are being enforced?? And by the way, playing as you wish, i don't mean screwing over teammates and such. That stuff goes on alot and it is ashame that admins can't catch them all.

Well the use of secret rooms i dont know about, but on Blackmesa when you use the stairs you have to open up the way for the zombies, and if that box is opened right behind the lift the humans have almost no chance of winning. =D hope this helps. Take the lifts, and make some Z0mbie kits in your quick buy so you can be ahead of the pack.

Yea if you take stairs it really screws people over. I wouldn't speak bad of secret rooms, only cheap spots that really are impossible to get to.

Things like the stairs and all that are allowed. Only things that arent allowed is glitching.

So your saying that if I take stairs and an admin yells at me and threatens to ban me, I don't have to feel scared?

Nightmare has it wrong.

Taking stairs when you can use the elevator is wrong.
If you take stairs you screwup the whole ct team because you shoot out all barricades that holds the zombies back to make an escape possible for humans.

Without the barricades humans get screwed and ct never wins.

So then the guy that took the stairs while he could have taken the elevator screws over the whole ct team and is infact teamkilling his own team.

as far as i know every admin says this rule against people as in: Dont take the stairs when you can get on the elevator.

You shouldn't have to feel scared for that, but an admin might still get upset and ban you. If that happens, just try to get proof and post a complaint. Things like that aren't against the rules, therefore not a bannable offense.

Even surviving the nuke on Atix_Heli isn't a bannable offense as there's easier and better options. Which is, slay(?), burn, freeze, move to spec, kick. It doesn't really warrant a ban as that's an extreme for such a small thing. Banning for that would have to be if they didn't listen several times, not a first time offense.

I don't see why you should feel scared if you take the stairs, but why exactly would you take the stairs?

I have heared this warning many times but there is a reason for it and that is called Tking. If the lift is availabe, what reason is there to take the stairs? I have taken the stairs atleast half a dozen times, most of it with atleast 2 admins throwing this warning around but I didn't have fear, mainly because the lift had already left.

Taking the stairs while an alternate, safer, more reliable route is still the best option, doesn't make a possitive image. They issue those warnings because those who refuse to take the elevator and open up an easy route for zombies to enter, just shouts TK.

There's no rule stating people HAVE to take the elevator over stairs, despite it possibly being "tk'ing." That would basically be telling people they have no choice in what they want to do, though the choice is illogical, it isn't against the rules nor is it TK'ing. It is though, not a very smart choice to do when the elevator is still there and taking that will give you a great chance of survival. Teamkilling would be, more like blowing up a bridge on team mates causing them to suicide, jumping on heads in an elevator again causing suicide. Not really inadvertently causing their death by the players own ignorance.
