Jailbreak Traps - Keep them to a minimum!

[PhaseXero]

I saw a thread in HellsGamers I really liked so I thought I would share.

Jailbreak Traps: When I type "GO" you will run to race. Types "Start". You are now dead, play again soon.

KILL TERRORISTS WITH GAMES, NOT TRAPS.

Given the number of threads with people complaining about the trigonometry required to play jail and other ridiculous orders we should be striving to keep things SIMPLE. People come to our jail because of the way it's run, the positive atmosphere we have going.
Quick poll at the top.

Traps are perfectly fine when not abused and/or overly complex.

A warden should not solely rely on traps. Rather, one or two traps should be sprung to weed out the non-listeners and the t's in turn. Anything more is overkill and is not fun.

Traps are good to spring during cell opening orders, simon says, and other command games.

Traps are not fun when given out every single time you are warden, or for every other order given. Too many traps will lead to a rebellion from angry t's.

It all balances out.

I usually wind up leaving the server whenever I get killed for not turning five more degrees to the left then I should have been

so I voted the second option.

Jail is BS idk why so many people find it fun ct's (idc who plays them) juts look for an excuse to slaughter anyone for ay one reason no matter what
i see it as a bunch of people on a power trip anytime i played our jail severs i was killed for something stupid or straiht up free killed...if i ask someone to repeat something i just get shot

aka its not fun i USED to have fun in jail but no offence i have never ever ever had even teh slighest bit of fun on eGo jail server

everywhere else love it...jail >.> well

I like how you guys complain about complicated orders, if you go onto any other well known jail server, there are orders that would lead any non-attention paying eGO memeber dead in seconds. In eGO crouchwalking is just to crouch somewhere, other servers you should be a snail moving along. Or you'll get people giving fake orders when they aren't the warden to get you killed etc.
It's a part of jail, pay attention ts

I tell them to just go right away through voice. I only use start/go to start race, climb, lavas, etc.

Jailbreak Traps: When I type "GO" you will run to race. Types "Start". You are now dead, play again soon.

That also doesn't make sense grammatically. (In-game, not the sentence)

I think we should refocus this thread a little bit. The problem comes with CTs who intentionally go out of their way to give orders which are misleading or complicated enough to cause confusion. It's the orders which have multiple components or intentionally intend to trick people to get them killed. It's fine when it's done once or twice but there are many people who use these same tactics again and again. People get mad and they quit, we should try to avoid that as much as possible.

The turn 90 and shiftwalking backwards are fine, people gotta pay attention.

 

[crazyrockets]

The ones that use intentional misspellings and then argue with the admins after they freekill the poor Ts are the worst.
Saying when I type go, please shift walk to xxx. Types in goe Some Ts start walking and get killed. I rage at the CT.

Still not funny

You just offended me alot... wth is wrong with you?

 

[Sequel Sentry]

Totally agree, but the traps are too complex. I saw a CT do it four or five times once with no effect.

Anyway, one time a guy told us to turn one degree to the left, and killed me (cause he hated me) and two other good rebellers for no reason. Turns should be limited to 90-360 degrees.

And Crazy, that would count, it's a typo. He can't kill you for doing that.

Exactly, but it is that kind of mindset that I hate

Eurocracy, you just made me day.

The orders that are "complicated" on =(eGO)=? Jail are NOTHING compared to the orders given on servers such as Hellgamers. Our orders are not hard to follow in the slightest bit. You just have to be listening, not a lot, but still a little bit.

 

[BadLadJon]

whenever i bust out the traps, only one or two Ts die... out of what? 10? they should learn to listen.

 

[BadLadJon]

i agree with some points, our server is by far the best jail server. you get servers where some people give everyone a freeday apart from one poor guy who keeps getting killed because no-one likes him.. or if a CT kills someone for a stupid reason everyone votebans him. Also our admins know if a trap is good or illegal and most of the time CTs get revoked or warned for saying "goe" instead of "go".

 

[Spitfire'd]

Traps are killing the server. Stop it. Up your game, get more creative.

Jail is popular because it is a unique way to play and people are constantly discovering it. However, if this trapping (among other things) continues to grow in popularity as an acceptable CT practice when being warden, then I would bet the farm that you won't see players going back to jail after awhile.

Sure they'll get replaced by new players, but it will just be a vicious cycle, the forums will get flooded with the same 4 threads over and over, and more people will start taking shots at jail every chance they get, as we have already see in this thread.

My 2 cents.

 

[DeadSolitude]

I don't mind traps. What has really annoyed me lately is when people play take it or leave it with 10+ t's and give lr as the prize. Lr should not be an option unless there are only a few t's left imo.

 

[SigmaMX]

I think where all of us that play Jail should focus on improving its to respect Wardens orders as CT's. Ive seen so many times how problems erupt when a ct just tries to take the stupid iniciative and wheter gives orders far away from the W's or just goes and tries to be the funny guy.

T's have all the right to complain to traps, but as they are always trying to kill CT's, CT's do too have the right to be strict and try to reduce their amounts ASAP.

Its like in the police force: "Protect, Serve and Save your own arses while at it" Thats my POV

 

[Rogue205]

Im fine with some "Traps" as long as its not the "90 degrees to the left, 180 degrees to the right hop 3 times while spinning and land facing cells."

Once people started giving crazy orders almost like that is when i quit playing jail. which basically was the only one i would play on before that.
