CS Jailbreak Can we get dead player voice chat?

novajourney · May 12, 2023

When you die during jailbreak, you can be left waiting for up to 8 minutes while alive players play out the rest of the round. And because of the way jailbreak is structured, the majority of players are going to be dead for the duration of the round. So why don't we add a way for the dead players to converse while their waiting for the round to end? Currently, dead players are limited to communicating through chat. Think of how much we could gain from being able to talk after we die. New players would have a chance to ask about how jailbreak works, Ts could coordinate and plan rebels for the next round, complaints about bad CT's toxicity and freekills could be exchanged, epic rap battles could be fought between MCs, the possibilities are endless. And this shouldn't be hard to be implemented in JB as it is already - JB is played in casual mode, which has dead player chat enabled by default; So I imagine an update of this sort would be quick and simple. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't, who wants dead player voice chat?

Admining would be hard nearly impossible, if they cant hear dead chat while they're alive then they cant enforce policy, and if admins heard dead people too then they can get ghosted and/or mic spammed while trying to hear warden. I think its just too many people to be able to govern all the people talking when they die when server is at full pop.

There’s enough noise on JB as it is… don’t need more.
And would make admining near impossible.

As others have said, a very large concern regarding this is admining. Everyone can see dead chat, easy enough to admin. Dead VC, not so much (imagine trying to play with 10 people talking). Also accidental ghosting as an admin. You can see dead chat on TTT as an admin when people normally can't, I've had to just silently ignore players and let them kill me just to make sure I don't accidentally use that information. It's worse in JB.
