Things not to do as warden
1. NO TRIVIA
2. Sit at cells while you decide what to do, it's always good to keep the Ts moving so they have something to do, otherwise they'll rebel at first chance.
3. NO COUCH GAME
4. NO ODD MAN IN OR ODD MAN OUT
5. STs should be given, but not to the same 3 people every map.
6. Fretting over what rebelling Ts are doing or where they are is not good, I cannot say how many times I have seen a warden and several CTs get killed while looking for a single rebelling Terrorist. Don't run out to the place where somebody was killed just then. It's idiotic and you'll just have to wait 5 minutes, which brings me to the next rule.
7. DO NOT SPEND FOREVER SOMEWHERE, if you are having a disco day or just sitting at cells while you spend two full minutes getting the STs organized, don't stay there forever. First of all, it's boring. Second of all, the Ts will kill you as soon as they can, I promise you this. Anyone who has played as a Terrorist will see some sort of threat on the warden's life or a "REBEL AT 430" thing going through the Team Chat or Chat.
8. Freedays are okay, but should be given with caution, because the Ts should have freedays when they have been rebelling for awhile, because it gives them a way to do things that they normally can't without rebelling.
9. Don't kill someone for moving the slightest bit. If someone is at the cells, and they suddenly turn a quarterturn to the right, don't kill them. Seriously, it's silly. What could they do anyway, charge you?
In conclusion, NO TRIVIA, NO COUCH GAME.
