so does the official rule remain kill hosties at will whomever you are, or is it changing?

Yeah, nobody gave an official "YES" to if we can kill hostages regardless of what team you are on. Also, some of you guys hijacked my thread, put the VIP stuff in another thread please.

Yes, there are no rules regarding hostages except for the customary if one person kills too many the server will kick them.

How many is too many?
Is it time, round, or map dependent (aka when does the count go down or get reset)?

That I don't know for sure, I have just seen people get kicked by the server for it.

Its strategory, if you weren't allowed to win the round by it, the game wouldn't let you. But it does. Don't hate the hostages, hate the game.

Agreed.

well, imo the t's definitley shouldn't do it.

ct's should be able to do it for the win - but lose all their money. i mean the whole team gets a big fat 0 for the round.

Just get the hostie's and get the hell out of dodge is my motto on hostage maps. Simple and easier said than done most of the time.

I do see the point (and I'm never one to kill hosties intentionally.. I'll always go for the rescue, or killing the remaining T's if not enough time remains). However, you gotta take accidental killings into account as well. Would you really want to lose all your money for a round because some first-time newb on your team chucked a nade around a corner and took out a couple hostages?
