Exploding buildings has never been in this history of this server considered engagement. Now if you do it, you have to let people try to kill you before shooting back and hope t hat they whiff before returning fire. Now you just have to trust that the person killing you owns the building, or file a ticket every single time to confirm and you know 100% staff are not going to check logs to see who owned it at the time. If someones blowing up your friends house? RDM THEM, and then get your friend to transfer for the ticket. If you get the occasional staff member that is actually willing to put the work in and check properly, it's an in game ticket that will take, on average, a month to get done and by that time they won't have to serve a ban anyways. This ruling works for vehicles because civs can check registration. It does not work for buildings. You can't see who owns a building. So now, the vague implications of this... Shooting at someone and if your bullet hits a house behind them, it does dmg to that house and it's one way engagement. Placing a bomb that even has a chance to hit someone else's house? One way engagement. You can be rdm'ed. Burden of proof is on them, you don't even have to tell them what house you own. How is boltcutting a door not engagement now? That's just as much of a hostile action. Where is the line drawn? Staff won't say. Multiple times they've been asked and they refuse to explain. Is placing the bomb engagement? Is detonating engagement? Is it engagement if the building isn't fully destroyed? Just leaving the door wide open. So if I'm blowing up a house, and I get rdm'ed, I have to file a ticket, wait a month, eventually get a response that won't result in a ban because it was so long ago the player can't be expected to have proof. It's a license to just rdm anyone placing a bomb. The only way to make this remotely fair is for civs to be able to check registration on houses, which is gamebreaking retarded, but still better than the alternative of expecting a player to report every single time to confirm ownership of a building only for it to be ignored so long it doesn't matter. Every single staff member listed, and not one of you plays civ/skat in any capacity. All are career medics, career apd, conquest, or entirely inactive in game. You don't understand how common this situation actually is among skat players that actually fight on S1. You should not be making drastic changes to server rules without at least consulting the people it effects. You're ruining a huge element of gameplay and you don't care because it doesn't effect you. PLEASE DEAR GOD LISTEN AND STOP TRYING TO MAKE A RETARDED RULE CHANGE. IT WAS FINE FOR 10 YEARS, IT DOESN'T NEED CHANGED NOW BY PLAYERS WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT CHANGES THE GAME. PLANTING A BOMB OR DETONATING A BOMB IS NOT ENGAGEMENT UNLESS IT HITS A PLAYER OR VEHICLE. ROUND 2 BABY LETS GO THERE WASNT ENOUGH TIME OR ENGAGEMENT WE NEED TO HEAR 18 PAGES AT A MINIMUM OF DISCUSSION

nerd fucking dork

these houses are retarded

i also want to add that blacklisting people in 2024 is cringe and is probably around 9 years past being reasonable.

wat

i came to this thread prepared to call @ doubleueyeceekay a retard because he is a retard. I watched the footage, read the entire post and came to a surprising conclusion. @ doubleueyeceekay is a retard

Cops get ripped too easily, they should just take server bans unless its ridiculous

imagine writing all this

Done
