Taunting, then un-taunting, then taunting

[Bray]

Hi, its me again, I'm wondering right now, I was killed on the Jailbreak server, for: Doing an AFK taunt, (Like High-Five for instance) then stopping it, then doing it again, while AFK freezing. WHAT?! I've never heard of this thing, like ever, I'm so confused, would this be a freekill? or not? Its very confusing, can I get an answer please?

 

[Ibram]

Yes, this is considered a freekill. All partner taunts except Conga count as AFK. There is no rule that limits the amount of times you can activate it as far as I know.

Hope that clears it up
Also, if this continues to happen, report the player/admin who is responsible for the case.

 

[Thresher]

Dont forget rancho relaxo also counts as afk.

 

[Bray]

I was doing the Skullcracker Thresher, and Ibram, it was $tar who killed me

 

[Ibram]

If you have proof, do not hesitate to report them.

 

[Bray]

Sadly I don't have proof ._.

 

[Astra]

If you have proof, do not hesitate to report them.

This is not a reason to report someone. It is one freekill, consequence would be a slay.

There is if they keep enforcing it and killing more people over it. Also if there are no admins, what is he supposed to do?

If they only did it once it's not a problem. Ask @Flamer The Guitar Player if there was only one instance or multiple.

 

[Ibram]

Also by $tar do you mean @Thstardust ? Then there would be need for a report, you can't have admins enforcing made up rules.

Sorry if I'm mistaken @Thstardust , don't take offense, I just want to know some details

 

[Thresher]

Also if there are no admins,

There should always be at least 1 admin on some SG server. We have over 20 admins. We should have one on each server.

And we dont. Everyone goes off at 10:00. Me and Granny are usually the only ones online after that, and with my connection thats just Granny.
WolvenFox is starting to go on VSH at that time, so thats good.
It bothers me how all of our staff members are from the same timezone.

The European staff members are the only ones who can go on from around 8:00 to 3:00 US Eastern time. And thats because its like late afternoon for them.

Anyways, we shouldnt be expected to make a rule over every little rule. From wardens must give commands from the mic, to this. I feel like if theyre being smart asses they should be on blue in the first place. But thats just me.

The rules don't specify that reds can or cannot AFK taunt, untaunt, then taunt again. This is more a matter of what the warden says at the moment. If the rules were more specific it would alleviate confusion.

Exactly my point. Who ever killed @Flamer The Guitar Player was wrong for doing so as there are no rules against doing so. The rules don't need to be more specific, people just need common sense and logic.

Also, @Thresher
Admins just leave the servers in groups, at one time there are 4 or 5 admins. Once one of them leaves the rest follow, leaving a server with 20 people with no admin.

Also, I just noticed this, we have a Team Fortress 2 section. Please put future threads there.

The rules do not say that they CAN undo the taunt either. The rules do need to be more specific on some subjects.

 

[Ibram]

The rules do not say that they CAN undo the taunt either.

If it isn't restricted, then it's allowed. Not the inverse.

 

[Astra]

If it isn't restricted, then it's allowed. Not the inverse.

There is nothing in the rules relating to this at all. The rules only say that doing the taunts is afk frozen. If the warden says that they cannot untaunt and taunt again, then they cannot untaunt and taunt again, as it doesn't override any rules.

 

[Ibram]

If the warden says that they cannot untaunt and taunt again, then they cannot untaunt and taunt again

But that was never stated in this case.

 

[Astra]

But that was never stated in this case.

I was there. @Thstardust was the warden and stated this.

AFK Freeze - All RED(s) must remain frozen.

• If a direction has been given (static object only - like the stairs)
  • No mouse movement (includes attacking/switching weapons)
  • No keyboard movement
  • Swinging melee or shooting is not freezing.
  • All taunts will puts your character into a frozen state (High five for example counts as AFK frozen)
• If no direction has been given
  • Mouse movement (freelooking) is allowed.
  • No keyboard movement.
  • Swinging melee or shooting is not freezing.
  • All taunts will puts your character into a frozen state (High five for example counts as AFK frozen)

Its right here. According to this you cant toggle it like that. Its considered keyboard movement. Unless it means moving around the character, it means you cannot toggle it.
