Thread: Hostages, rules clarification please

If I kill the 3-4 hostages before they hit the rescue zone and then hide rather than risking guarding t I am doing what a terrorist would do.

I'm not saying you should be able to kill them off the start... but if they are being rescued and following someone I don't see how that's not the same argument as CT's killing them to win.

Realism, you mean like blowing up fruit carts and hot dog stands?

And CT's objective isnt to defuse bombs. If they plant it, oh well....the object is to keep the CT's from getting the hosties...and if they do, kill the person that took them and get them back...same thing with the bomb

You mean you're OK with CTs kicking the bomb in the water or to some unreachable place on de maps, right?

Or is this just sarcasm?

I personally am fine with it, but enforce the rules of TPG when playing on their servers. If Ts did their job correctly then there would be no opportunity for the CTs to kick the bomb in the water, and once again, my goal is to WIN.

That's not the same thing at all, if the Ct's don't defuse they lose. The T's can kill the hostages and still win. Since it's keeping the ct's from getting them.

No, I mean your last comment sounded as if you were saying it was not only OK for the T's to kill the hostages but for THEM to kick the bomb in the water or to some unreachable place.

I have no problem with CTs rendering the bomb useless. Though, I didn't know we had rules against CTs doing that...

Oh, yes, now I see my sentence was somewhat incomplete. No, I do not condone the Ts sabotaging the bomb, but I do support the CTs doing it if the Ts drop it, and do not have people around to pick it back up.

I've never been a fan of this. To me it seems cheap since T's can't move hostages. If T's could move the hostages I'd be ok with it, but they can't so it bothers me.

The server auto-kicks after so many, but I personally have never seen an admin punish in any way.
