Other settings in ND (archived by Chris)

What clysma means by the SK rule is that when you spawn, and stay you are not allowed to be shot at. But from the moment you start running you are able to get killed. This is in a lot of Servers and we had this in the very beginning. So camping in a spanw area isnt allowed, but obviously when you run through a spawn you are allowed to shoot people shooting at you.

But.... It's ridiculous come on?
When somebody doesn't move in spawn we are not allowed to kill him?
Why does he join the game if it is to not move? He's supposed to play not stay camping in spawn... Why wouldn't we be allowed to kill him?
Btw when somebody isn't moving in spawn we put him SPEC, because he is supposed to move, while ingame
Omg if we start making rules for little things like that ......

Yeah, why are you going to punish to player who shoots an afk player? It's not his problem that he is afk...

when you are playing as axis or allies, you play and move... Otherwise go spec

Wait, guys i think you are missing my point. I mean that we should prevent people from hiding somewhere in the spawn waiting for people to spawn and shoot them.

I dont even myself understand this now, even though I wrote this..

So in the very start of ND the spawn killing was not allowed? And its main purpose was this:

...prevent people from hiding somewhere in the spawn waiting for people to spawn and shoot them.

So this has nothing to do with afk guys? Or what?

I can tell you something: after dying today exactly 17 times in a row by a mortar at the golrush axis spawn exit,
I am NOT going to play in no download until you implement the old rules again
Why do you persist wanting to change everything when it worked nice like it was, seriously?

That was my view before too, but somehow joint explained me the good sides of these changes, and somehow I went to write this post here.

And now I feel like this was pointless because that spawn killing rule now is weird. I didnt even somehow do connect afk players and high admins who could put they to spec. And when you wrote that out, for me side, this is now useless.

Looking to this now, in my opinion it would just be wise to now return to the previous settings.

Sorry Joint if I now dont get your point on this one, but I dont now see the spawn killing rule's purpose when sky pointed out that afk players will be moved to spec. (I dont really know how I didnt come to think about that, lol.)

Ps. I did too fast desicion to write this post. Didnt think about this clearly
