Need to add a rule about goomba stomping on Lost Temple.

Discussion in 'Rules and Protocol' started by ScttyDsntKnw85, Feb 6, 2017.

  1. You have next to no control when you slide down those ramps and if someone doesn't move out of the way and gets goomba stomped you get slain for RDM.

    I suggest a rule specific to Lost Temple that states "If you don't move out of the way fast enough on lost temple it's your own fault for getting goomba stomped"

    Well, It sucks that this map has this flaw, but goomba stomping happens and we have a special clause for it. Basically stating that you can be forgiven for them as most of the time they are accidents.

    This isn't really needed. All this will do is create more confusion among players and make the regulars upset.

    You can control how fast you go down the ramp.

    Hold back when you're going down and it will slow you down.

    This still doesn't fix when you have to go down the scaffolding thingy, gmod and falling in the air especially while laggy is super shitastic. There's also teleports, should people be punished for those damages? I'm running from a suspicious person cause I'm not about that life, go through a teleported and gonna stomp someone, and get punished for it? I don't think that's fair. There is nothing I could have done to prevent it.
     
  7. There are people who never forgive and even so, if you go down after the round has started there is a reasonable expectation that people would have cleared out of the top of the scaffolding. How would this upset the regulars? It is specific to the map, not all goomba stomping in general. If you refuse to add a rule then maybe empower you mods to overrule if they deem it an accident? Someone shouldn't lose their round of play because of an accident and a salty player.

    Like I said, you have plenty of both speed and directional control to prevent this. Test it out for yourself.

    Just want to point out that this has been suggested a long time ago and, since it is preventable, it wasn't implemented.

    This is old, Unfortunately this still goes by the rule. an accidental rdm (random damage) is still rdm. and is slayable for it, the bright side is that the mod have discretion to forgive (provided if the victim wants to forgive you for it) but until then, it has been like this for years.
