    ive been putting alot of time in on the servers for ttt and i think all the rules are great but the 3 warning rule needs to be in place because countless times ive been cornered and an admin wasent on to tp me and i had to kill the person cornering me so i wouldnt get killed and get reported by a guy that was cornering me

    Cornering can be annoying, but if there is no mod on you sort of have to deal with it. I wouldn't kill the person doing it unless you are in danger (I.E there is c4, a trap nearby). Otherwise I'd just ignore it or suicide.

    Well, if your life is in immediate danger, you can kill them. This is explained in the extended rules.

    You don't have to kill anyone if your life isn't in danger.

    You weren't even stuck. To be cornered by someone unless physically trapped by props or within a person doesn't warrant a tp

    Congratz on the RDM

    I hope he did report you.

    The three warning rule is entirely confusing in that some people may not be aware who is getting warned, may take advantage of this and kill an innocent who wasn't getting warned but they can claim they were being warned, and um in all essence goes against most of the rules of SGmod.

    I'd say 99% of the time if you were to implement a 3 warning rule onto any person, you'd be breaking a SGmod rule and it'd likely be RDM.

    well i think there should be some kinda rule that allows the cornered person to do something because being stuck in the corner by someone in a spot you cant get out of and are un able to do anything really kills gameplay and ruins that round comepletly for that person and the fact that there isint always a mod on to help enforces my belief that there really needs to be a rule that allows the cornered person too react

    You could be more aware of where you are. If you're so unaware while playing the game that you get cornered by someone you sort of deserve the fate you'll eventually receive.

    And with what I said above, rightfully so.

    They would enforce your belief the rule in question unless...

    And to be cornered doesn't mean your life is in danger. For it to be in danger...

    So just the potential of dying by the person cornering you is not reason enough to kill them, have a rule for it, or beg for a mod to teleport you out of the way. There is no rule about being able to kill someone who points a gun at you, which in your world would warrant a warning and it's a slippery slope from there. Play the game more alertly, or run for the hills when you see yourself getting cornered.

    If what the statements given by the player is true, then this wasn't RDM.

    Like I said... if the statements given are true...

    "because countless times ive been cornered and an admin wasent on to tp me"

    He was stuck.

    "...so i wouldnt get killed"

    And in danger.

    He says he was cornered, not necessarily stuck. You can crowbar push past him or go to his left or right. Stuck is stuck within another player model, in a prop, in a wall, in a room full of people where no one is escaping or you have ppl blocking the door and a C4 is about to go off.

    So he wouldn't get killed. I dont believe his life was in danger and that's because he's suggesting the 3 warning rule so he can assure his life isn't in danger since he now has all of the power to kill the person after the 3rd warning.

    This is literally a thread about creating a rule about being stuck. Besides, he mentioned that he needed a mod online to be TP'd. Why would he need a TP if he wasn't stuck? I'm pretty sure he meant he was stuck. What a silly time to get pedantic about wording.

    As it is written now, he had to kill the player, to prevent being killed. This insinuates that his life was in danger.

    I can understand wanting to institute the rule from the player because look at the options given by @Pacifist if a mod is not online. You either ignore it, and sit around doing nothing until the player moves. Or you kill yourself and lose a round. That would suck and can be incredibly annoying.

    He may not understand the rule?

    That's all we have to go off of until he's more clear. Cornered in a video game is not the same as the stuck we are all aware of. I can get out of any situation where I am "cornered" and im not necessarily stuck.

    Again, the 3 warning rule he wants. That means he believes his life is in danger, but that's suspicion. He didn't have a reason to kill the player under the rules of SGmod unless he gives us more information. He just wanted to get to a safer place, and what a better way to do that but to eliminate the stressor. If you're familiar with people who use the 3 warning rule, they'll call you out just for pointing a gun at you. They'll especially do that if you're cornered with them and they're still pointing a gun at you.

    You can use the crowbar to slowly push them, or a magneto stick will too. It works, unless they're also pushing you.

    This can also be considered harassment, if the player is targeting only you, and doing it excessively.

    Like people said above, if your life was in danger, then you may kill for people keeping you in that danger by trapping you.

    And so you don't misinterpret "life is in danger":
    Someone pointing their gun at you does not qualify as immediate danger.

    That being said, requesting a TP in a situation like the above or anything that isn't legitimately stuck will get noticed (eventually) and won't be honored. Legitimately stuck meaning you're stuck in a situation impossible to escape that isn't a map mechanic. A player blocking you, door spamming, or holder a prop in the way (a few examples) is not "impossible to escape".
