Question One: In some games, when someone gets a ROFLSTOMP and receives the two flash bang care packages and then hits one of their own kind off of a tower/tree/etc. Such an exploit can "game-throw" or "troll" others, making it very frustrating to the person being hit off. Is this punishment worthy? Ex.: Johnny12345 camps on the large tree located near the spawn-point in Carnival. Once he receives the two snowball care package several times, he decides to start hitting other people around him off the tree and watches them die. Question Two: In Nuketown, several dispensers are located throughout the map. These dispensers can be used as storage for spare gear, and can be abused by throwing in bows, arrows, golden apples, extra steak, and strong armor to be used by a zombie. Is this punishment worthy? Ex.: Johnny12345 finds an isolated dispenser in Nuketown. He throws all of his good gear in, and then once the round starts, /suicides and takes that gear. Later on, he is able to use those items to throw the game and kill people with a loaded bow, and become stronger with the normal human gear. Question Three: In Stronghold, there is a wooden door located near the spawn that allows farther access to the rest of the map. Sometimes, a human decides to plan to close that door, and once the huge group of humans get close to it, they can't get in due to all the hit-boxes blocking that door. Usually what happens is that everyone gets stuck outside until late-game, and by then, usually a ton of people are already dead due to the mass of zombies that can overwhelm the small room quickly. Is this punishment worthy? Ex.: Johnny12345 decides to rush Stronghold once it starts, and shuts the wooden door once he gets through. After all the humans start grouping up in the door, he /suicides and starts farming kills to get zombie bonuses. The reason why I posted this is because I am unsure about these kinds of situations, as to me, they seem quite offendable, even though the rules do not directly state not to do such and such. Please give me your feedback on the topic and correct my opinion if I'm wrong, thanks.
There are no rules that say this can't be done. Snowballing other people off stuff is fair game, no punishment. The dispensers are also fair game. The door is also fair game, you just need to be fast, or else this happens:L. If I knew any better I'd think you're complaining about these things because they happened to you and you think it's unfair, but trust me, it's all fair game.
1) Not an exploit, if people wish to have less people helping them, that's their call, their problem, and it gives more of a challenge than a bunch of kids camping somewhere spawn-killing p1's 2) The rules are the same, if you purposely die to gain items that will benefit you, it's against the rules until the plugin is fixed. 3) There isn't anything to it, you wanna go ahead and get a Mod to ban somebody for closing a door? Go right ahead, see how that works.
I have no idea how you thought I wanted to ban people for shutting a door, because I only said "is this punishment worthy?", but alright. I'm the only one to respond quickly enough in most games to open the door when someone closes it. I don't understand how you think that I'm complaining about this, mainly because I was only asking a few questions but think what you think. I can't necessarily agree with you. The snowball exploit, I can bet you, was originally never supposed to be in the game itself, but due to Minecraft logics, the mechanics cannot be fixed. If you really think that purposely trying to ruin games for other people by doing such a thing, I'd be baffled.
Most punishments on gamemodes like infection are a ban/tempban, as there's a lot of chat spam with kills/killstreaks, not much room for verbal warnings.
