Counter-Strike Global Offensive Jail Server Updating the Jail Rule Book

[BlackAngel]

All of us in leadership had a discussion with Rogue Sniper, the Server Boss, and we have all decided to have a trial run to remove all special days other than Zombie Freedays. During Zombie Freedays, prisoners are forced to shift walk from location to location and are not allowed to climb or jump to access CT areas. All wardays, hide and seek days, or other freedays will be banned until this trial has expired. At that time we will explore a more permanent solution. This is in effect for the remainder of February. Please give us your feedback so we can make a more fun gaming atmosphere. If you have any questions or concerns please message a leadership member, Rogue Sniper, or post a comment in the drop box.


Now let's get Jail going! See you in servers!

Thank you for this. Imho freedays/special days are for people that are too lazy (or too bad Kappa ) to actually warden properly. Sure, they can be fun once in a while, but more often than not they're a waste of a round.

Neat

Sounds good!

Soooo what gives Zombie Freedays such position?

I assume the maps with built in automatic wardays will still be kept in rotation etc.

I'm all for trying to make the server more enjoyable. Personally I like the maps that have the built in war days. I've never had a zombie day before but the wardays I do enjoy. Hide and seek I could live with out lol.

There's a difference between wardays I enforce on some of my maps and wardays wardens do. Wardens will generally choose the same area every time and stay there for such an absurd amount of time. Ts either wait it out or try to go through the one entrance and lose. I'd rather try to take B on inferno. On my wardays (except on safeguard, which will eventually get updated to be more in line with the other maps) the action will start within 15-20 seconds as cells open immediately, and the action isn't confined to one choke point while cts camp.

For a few reasons. One, they are not as easy to rebel on as if a CT sees a T not shift walking they can shoot them meaning the Ts have to devise better plans to rebel. Two, because of the slower movement, it allows the CTs to keep a more watchful eye on the Ts. Three, its a slower progression into chaos where as the other types are just pretty much free for all's pretty quickly.

Yes, those will remain.

You know whats great? The fact this decision was made without much influence from the people that actually participate in playing on the server... And you may say "The server boss" plays on the server a ton, however how can he so accurately assume the want of every person that play on the server. I think it should have been polled.

Take out all of the days that people actually enjoy, but keep one just so that terrible wardens have a easy excuse to not warden.




If I get banned for this I think whoever does it should really take a look at themselves, I should be able to voice my opinion regardless of what it is. If You would like me to delete this post you can ask...

When was the last time you actually played on our servers? We said that this was a temporary thing, we are just testing the waters for a little over a week. So what's the big deal?

You say "our servers" as if I'm not a member of this community? Also I'm on an eGO server as we speak...

^If that's not how you meant it then clarification would be appreciated...

 

[Xerneas]

This is a very bad idea

I mean people voted for me for Server Boss. So I mean that is one way of polling the community. They voted me as they believed I could/would/will effectively help Jail and its player base grow. Also you state that by keeping this one type of special day that it allows terrible wardens a cop out and not have to warden but yet weren't the other type of special days just the same thing?

Like it was mentioned before, its temporary, and if it turns out that it doesn't work out, no harm done. Everything's a learning experience.

 

[Crackers]

I get that. The last map I played that had warday built in seemed pretty fair. CT's were still aloud to camp but there was better chance for T's. In maps that its not built in CT's are able to pick the most advantageous location. So I completely understand that being against the rules now.

.:EDIT:. This was in response to RedDragonKnight but it didn't quote for some reason lol.

Ya they are all the same thing, only difference is some are more fun than others. If you wanted to remove so many special days why not remove them all, forcing only good wardens to type !w?

CTs shouldn't be camping on my maps automated wardays.

It was time to try something new. After dealing with wardays round after round (or every three routinely per the rules) it was taking away from actually playing what the game is intended for. It was an easy cop out for getting some kills after guards would frequently be on a losing streak.

Rogue and Black Angel said it best. We will see how it plays out the remainder of the month. We will see where it goes from there.

Off topic-
I appreciate everyone coming back to EdgeGamers time and time again. Really shows that we have something special here. Thanks to all of the members who make the community great and keep these individuals coming back for more. You all are rockstars.
