---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Punishments:
a. RDM=Random death match: when you kill someone for reasons that are not on the KOS list and do not have enough cause to suspect they are a T. Things like "he looked at me", "I felt like it", and "lol fuk u fag". Killing an AFK as an inno is also RDM. (see Overtime below)
1 RDM= 1 slay*
2 RDM= 2 slay
3 RDM or more= a slay per RDM (or more) or a ban (up to perm, depending on the intention of the RDMer)
*If you blatantly RDM someone on their T round (like walk up and Juan Deag them in the face at the start of the round when they're afk), you may be slain an extra time at the discretion of the staff online. Same goes for blatantly RDMing a D.
When you leave after RDMing Slays turn into day long bans (depending, again, on the intention of the RDMer. If a completely new player to TTT joins and has no idea what's happening, kills someone, gets killed, and leaves: I tend to only ban them for a few hours and leave a note about pressing "f1" when they return to get an idea of how the game is played) so:
1 RDM and leave= 1 day ban
2 RDM and leave= 2-3 day ban
3 RDM and leave= 3 day- perm ban
Repeated punishments for the same thing work additively. if you RDMx2 someone, got slain twice, and RDMx2'd later, you're gonna get slain 4-5 times if not banned.
Also Revenge RDM will always be an extra slay. Revenge RDM is when someone "takes justice into their own hands" and RDMs someone because that person wasn't slain by the mods either because the mods haven't gotten to the report yet, or because the mods found no fault with the person's killing. It also encompasses any bullying aspect. If Ferg kills Nilz because "Nilz pissed me off" or "has a squeaker voice" then Ferg will get slain twice. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. THREATENING to revenge RDM can also be punished by 1-3 slays depending on the threat.
*Killing AFKs as an inno is RDMing and will be slain. THIS INCLUDES 1 CROWBAR HIT "JUST FOR LOLS"*(see Overtime below)
*Pushing AFKs off a cliff is also RDM. Pushing afks into a mousetrap is also RDM.
b. T killing as a T. This is when you are a T and you kill a T buddy, either accidentally or on purpose.
Be extra careful when Jihading because if you kill a fellow T, you are ruining the game for someone else and seriously hurting your teams chances of winning. This does NOT apply to C4 though. If you die to a fellow T's C4, it's your own fault because you can see the C4 on the map if you are paying attention.
1 TKAAT= 1-2 slays (depending on intention. An accidental Jihad kill errs towards one slay while a shotgun to the head in the T-room errs towards 2)
2+ TKAAT= 1-2 slays per teammate you killed or banned from 1 day to perma (depending on the intentions of the TKAATer.)
c. Micspamming: These are things that will get you gagged.
The threshold for gagging will get lower as the server gets more full. If there's 25 people trying to convey important information and you're yodeling on the mic, you're going to get gagged real fast. The purpose of these rules is that people both giving and getting the important information have no frustration with the communication aspect of the game. When you're about to die and no one can hear your KOS because someone is singing the Adams Family theme, it sucks. You're much less likely to get gagged in graveyard chat because it's not disrupting the game, but you're not immune.
So, in order of what is most likely to get you gagged to least:
-Obnoxious noise making for the purpose of mic spamming
-Singing. Even in graveyard chat. Don't sing.
-Screaming/yelling. If you're excited because someone is currently gunning you down, no one will hear your KOS if you're screaming into your mic and they're going to be annoyed at you for it. Trust me. It's better for everyone to act like a police dispatcher and calmly call the KOS. People will hear the words, and that's the important part.
-Metagaming: Using things outside the construction of the game to play it.This includes "Spell innocent backwards" but also applies to "I will give you 1000 points if you kill him"
-Harassment. If you're harassing other users and they're feeling bullied, I'm going to shut you up. Take that shit somewhere else. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE DISRESPECTING STAFF. If you wanna shit talk the staff, go for it. We're mature, we can take it. Silencing people is a crutch for not having a good argument and I hate seeing it on other servers. However, if you are asking questions the staff has already addressed and continue to bring up the same points about why you shouldn't have been slain, it's mic spam at that point and it will be gagged.
-Trolling. Saying things to deliberately get a reaction out of other people such as acting like you can't understand the person, making fun of their voice, or spoiling a book/movie/TV show they're talking about. The threshold for this one is pretty high, though. You have to do quite a bit of trolling in order to get gagged. Most staff won't even gag for this at all.
-And finally: When the server is particularly full and there's a lot of important information that needs to be said, someone might say something to the effect of "on topic conversation only", at which point you will be gagged for saying anything off topic to the game because the airspace just can't handle it.
1st offense: an immediate gag and a warning followed by an immediate ungag.
2nd offense: an immediate gag for the rest of the round. Reiteration of the rules. ungag'd at the "Innocents win!" or "Traitors win!" screen.
3rd+ offense: an immediate gag for the rest of the round OR an immediate gag for the rest of the map (depending on the intention of the micspammer. If you're truly in it to mic spam, you're gonna get gagged longer. If Buster just can't keep his excitement contained about his KOS's, it's not really malicious intent.)
*Also note: If you're a chronic micspammer, with many gaggings over several different days, the threshold for gagging you goes way down and your punishments will start at the 2nd offense instead of the first.
*If you continue to harass the admins in chat instead of the mic you will get muted for the duration of your gag.
If you then continue to harass the admins in the adminchat, you will get kicked.
If you then come back and continue to harass the admins, you will get a short ban, usually about 15 minutes to an hour.
d. Ghosting: Saying ANYTHING to your friend on skype/steamchat/admin chat about the game or your intentions that they didn't previously know. THIS INCLUDES "hey revive me."
Punishments for ghosting varies from 1 slay to a perma ban depending on the intention of the ghoster. If some noob says "hey my friend said to revive him pls" on the open mic, they obviously don't know that's not allowed, and instead of throwing the B&ook at them, explain it's ghosting and to not do it again.
If, however, two people are clearly working together no matter their alignment or one happens to know who the T is when the other is a dead T, perma ban them. Slays won't do anything. If they're ghosting in this server, they will do it again forever, so to keep cheaters off this server, perma ban them. Ask them questions though to figure out their intent. If they outright lie to you, perma ban them. If they tell the truth but talk like they didn't know they were breaking the rules, explain the rules they broke and slay for a round instead. TELLING THINGS TO ADMINS WHEN YOU'RE DEAD THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IS GHOSTING, ESPECIALLY "hey revive me" but also includes things like "did you hear my KOS before I died?" ANYTHING that applies to the game that could change the outcome of it is ghosting. When you're dead, your influence on the game dies with you.
*Note on ghosting: Being dead, and being revived and KOSing people you saw do traitorous things as a ghost is not ghosting.
*does not apply to prop possessing. Go wild ya watermelon. no "seances" though. Nothing like "jump twice if Ferg is a traitor" stuff.
e. Delaying/Camping: This is if you are a T (not an inno), and you are staying in one spot for too long.
The burden of moving the game along falls on the Ts because the time limit is in favor of the innos. Delaying can only happen if there is a delay. To clarify, if the traitors are Ferg, Nilz, and Rug, and Ferg and Nilz go out and kill everyone, but Rug sits in the T room the entire time, THAT'S FINE. As long as action is happening, you can camp as long as you want. The fewer Ts alive, the more the burden of action falls on them. If you're the last T alive, you are absolutely delaying the game if you're ever waiting for any reason. This includes "waiting for people to walk into my T-trap." "waiting for health regen" and "waiting for people to walk outside so I can snipe them." If however you are DOING things, even if they're not directly finding people to kill, that's fine. Things like "find a T-buddy to revive" or "finding more ammo or a better gun" or "getting into a good vantage point to snipe" are 100% not delaying.
Delay=Slay. It's pretty simple. Also maybe a slay next round depending on the amount of time delayed. (The only time I can think of this happening is if the round ends because of time up and the admin just got on.)
f. False Reporting: If you report someone for RDM or something that you clearly started or they clearly had a reason to kill you, and you do not forgive them after seeing their explanation you are wasting mod's time and we will slay you for it.
1st offense: ignored. Maybe you're not that good with the rules. We won't even say anything.
2nd offense: Warning. Direction to this rule list. (Tell them to type "!motd")
3rd offense: 1 slay per offense there after.
*A note on reports: If you are frivolous, respond with insults/name calling, or otherwise don't take/respond to a report on you seriously, here's what we do: We check if the person reporting has ANY possible reason to report you and if they do, we give you the slay, and move on.
*Another note in the same vein: if someone reports you because you killed him and you had a legit reason PLEASE put some effort in explaining it when you have to respond to the report. Saves us a lot of work. And if you happen to shoot someone on accident, or make a mistakes, whatever. Be APOLOGETIC when you get reported, seriously, just apologize and 9 out of 10 times the reporting player will forgive you. A lot of people will confidently say ''oh I saw you shoot Blah, don't t-bait'' even when the person that got killed didn't even shoot, guess what the reporting player does? He doesn't forgive, but if the reported player had responded with ''Were you not the one shooting?? I was SO sure you were shooting dude, I'm so sorry, man.'' he will most likely forgive you.
*ANOTHER note on reports: If you were KOSed by person A, and person B simply follows the KOS and kills you, do NOT report person B, keep track of who KOSd you in the first place, and report that person (if the KOS was false).
g. AFKing being Away From your Keyboard for the entire duration of the match.
If you are going to be AFK for a whole round, press f1 and check the "spectator only" box as a courtesy to the other players. If you're AFK and you get a T or a D, you're seriously hurting that sides chances of winning. The Auto-spectate thing doesn't always work, so please do it yourself. If you're only standing up for a bit and intend to be back in a couple of minutes, don't sweat it. My general meter for "a player is AFK the whole round" is if they're AFK all the way to overtime.
AFK=Moved to spectator-only (If the staff on is an admin. If not, you're kicked)
*You will never be given autoslays for being AFK.
*When you come back, just press F1, scroll down, and uncheck the "spectator-only" box to get yourself back in the action.
*Killing AFKs as an inno is RDMing and will be slain. THIS INCLUDES 1 CROWBAR HIT "JUST FOR LOLS"*(see Overtime below)
*Pushing AFKs off a cliff is also RDM. Pushing afks into a mousetrap is also RDM.
h. Porn Sprays. Pretty self explanatory.
I'm saying that boobs are okay but absolutely no genitalia, whether it be anime, black and white "art", animals, or whatever the hell else you freakin weirdos wanna share with the world. This also applies to gore or "shock images" and things that look like porn sprays but really aren't. For instance, three pigs photographed and framed in such a way as to look like a man's taint. It should be clear what is not allowed and if you have to ask, the answer is probably no. Kids frequent this server. Keep that in mind.
1st offense=A warning.*
2nd offense= A warning and a kick.
3rd offense= A short ban, usually 15 min to an hour.
*There are some things we will perma ban you instantly for on the first offense. Don't try to figure out what they are.
*Anything "offensive" or racist is fine, just no porn (or gore).
*Applies to avatars.
i. Cheating Death. When a T-trap should have killed you or you were only able to get to a place because of that 10K neato jetpack you bought.
This isn't a punishment, per se, but it is something the mods will do to keep the jetpacks from being too imbalanced. There are only two instances this would occur right now, but if more maps add on where using your jetpack allows you to cheat death, this will apply to them too.
Doing these will get you slain mid-round:
-Being in the really low area in rooftops.
-Surviving the T-trap in community bowling that drops you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Game Calls: When and why it's okay to kill someone.
The main point of these rules is to stop RANDOM death matching for happening on the server which is why it's really important to make clear when a death match is random or not, because an inno can kill an inno and be wrong but for the right reasons, and this should NOT be punishable so I'm going to give two lists, one of KOSable and one of Cause. Cause is essentially "evidence to point to you being a traitor" which is not the same as "actions that people can kill you for if they see you do them." Confused? It'll make sense later.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Some of these aren't reasons that you SHOULD kos someone, such as someone is in the T-room after they have killed Ts and are proven, but they are reasons that you CAN kos someone. These rules are built around the fact that not everyone pays the most attention to the game. If someone misses the fact that you killed three Ts, but sees you in the T-room, they are still playing by the rules to KOS you. So when you see someone with a knife or kill someone in front of you, USE SOME CRITICAL THINKING DAMN IT. IT COULD BE THE SECRET KNIFE AND THEY COULD HAVE JUST KILLED A T. SEE IF THEY ID THE BODY FIRST FFS.
A. KOSing: Kill on sight. This is what you say to indicate to the rest of the server that they should kill the person.
You have to have a reason to say this though(unless you are a T.). I will use this interchangeably with "kill" because killing a person and KOSing a person aren't always the same thing (such as when they doorblock you and you've given them three warnings you can KILL them but the rest of the server has no reason to KOS them.)
1) KOSable actions: (these obviously don't apply to the Detective)
-Walking past an unID, Carrying an unID'd body. Also hanging a body.
-Wearing a disguise
-Having a T-weapon, EVEN if you got it from a dead T, EVEN if the detective gave it to you himself, EVEN if you announced in chat, made a billboard, took out an ad in Craigslist, and bought a skybanner, anyone can always kill you for having a T-weapon. My advice: If you have one and you're innocent, Don't take it out. Problem solved.
-Being in a T-room, EVEN if you killed three Ts while you were in there, if anyone sees you in the T-room they can KOS you (not that they should, but they can).
-Shooting at/ Killing someone. Anyone. At any time. For any reason. If you Juan Deag 3 Ts in the face, identify all three bodies, type "lol" in chat, and an inno sees you do it but don't register that they're Ts you just killed, they can kill you.(again, not that they SHOULD)
(*A note on "misclicks." They are no excuse. It doesn't matter. If you misclick and shoot someone, they can kill you. Actions speak louder than words do in TTT.)
-Calling a KOS on someone who ended up being inno. Even if they were RDMing, even if you are "proven", even if you didn't directly kill them.
-Teleporting.
-Propkilling: Swinging a prop violently around at all.
-Propsurfing, but only when they're IN THE ACT. (Further clarification: If you SEE someone prop surfing, you can call KOS on them, but if they're in an area that they could have only gotten to BY propsurfing, you CAN NOT call KOS on them.(I personally don't like this rule, but I didn't write them.))
-Destroying/Damaging health stations.
-Being in the close vicinity of a decoy and not shooting it. If you see someone with a decoy you have to give them an opportunity to shoot it. If, however they are walking away from where a decoy is, THAT's KOSable.
-Following: you have to give someone THREE warnings before you can kill them for following you. (by saying the whole sentence "Stop following me, this is your first/second/third warning" and waiting AT LEAST A FULL SECOND between each sentence.)
-Door blocking: You have to give someone THREE warnings before you can kill them for door blocking. (same as ↑)
-Moving a body the detective is trying to revive after the detective has given THREE warnings to anyone to drop it (same as ↑)
-Refusing to get tested when asked by a detective (not inno) THREE times (same as ↑)
Map specific KOSable actions.:
*on 67th way:
-Destroying the T tester, even pre round. Just because you bought that T round and know you're going to be a T doesn't mean you can get away with destroying the tester. (you thought you were so clever.)
-Jailing someone. If the person learns your name, they can KOS you AFTER they have given you three warnings to let you out. (A note on this: If you SPAWN in the jail and it's still preround, type "kill" in the console (press ~) to kill yourself and spawn somewhere else when the round starts)
*on Minecraft:
-Hiding/throwing Diamond ores/Gold blocks into the ocean.
*on Rooftops:
-Destroying bridges.
-Carrying the charged Axe.
-*If someone is in the really low area that you can only get to with a jetpack, tell the mods (type @message). That's slayable.
2) Traitor baiting: Traitor baiting is a REALLY broad term meaning "trying to make other people think you're a traitor when you're not" in order to "bait" them into attacking you so you can RDM them and say they shot first. All of these are also KOSable. This includes:
-Walking at someone with an explosive barrel.
-Shooting. Ever. If you were sniping flower pots but the person next to you didn't see that, they have cause to kill you. If you were shooting straight up with a HUGE, anyone can kill you for it.
-Throwing a discombob on Rooftops or Dolls, Canyon, or any future map that has a falling hazard.
-Throwing an incendiary on any map.
-Saying "Stand still for a second", "I'm a traitor, I confess", "Hey you're the last inno" (see Last Living Inno below) or ANYTHING that even hints at you're about to kill someone or are a traitor. It's all Traitor baiting.
-Looking at where the button to open the T room is and acting like you're trying to open it.
-Crouching and running at someone with a grenade to make it look like a knife
-Crouching and facing the wall to make it look like you're planting C4.
*if you Traitor bait at someone who then shoots at you and then use that shooting at you to kill them, that's RDMing because you started the encounter with a traitor bait.
3) Notable NON-KOSable actions:
-Aiming at someone's head. The only way to see people's names is to aim your weapon at them. It's not KOSable
-"Looking at someone funny"
-Being AFK.
-Being at low health
-Suspicion only (see Overtime below)
-proppushing on any map without a fall hazard.
-Being in an area that you could have only gotten to by propsurfing.
-Being in a room with a lot of ID'd dead bodies.*(see Cause below)
-Insulting people.
-Having the same gun as the murder weapon for that body you just found.*(see Cause below)
-Being on a roof/outside/ far away/behind the bookshelf when someone is sniped. you have to actually see a person shoot to KOS them.*(see Cause below)
-Running from C4 or "being in a place where C4 was just placed"*(see Cause below)
-When someone walks around carefree, not paranoid of anyone.
-When someone "stops moving for a second to buy from the T-menu." Not moving is not KOSable.
-Carrying T bodies anywhere or checking them (for credits)
-Being close to a trap being activated a la "I saw him look at the trap when it went off." Doesn't matter. Not KOSable.
-Running away from shootings instead of investigating them.
-"coincidentally" walking away right before a Jihad.
-Taking the DNA scanner off of a dead D, having it, or hiding it.
4) Being KOS'd: There is a tricky rule about being KOS'd as an inno. When you are KOS'd, you can kill anyone who makes their intention to kill you clear such as the person who initially calls KOS on you and EVERY PERSON WHO CONFIRMS IT.
Example:
Nilz (Traitor) says KOS Ferg (Innocent) and on the mic chat
Rug (Detective) says "Alright KOS Ferg. Got it."
Ferg (innocent) walks into a room with Rug (Detective) and has the right to shoot Rug BEFORE Rug shoots Ferg even though they're both on the same team.
Ferg (innocent) walks into a room with L. (innocent) who never acknowledged the KOS. L. can shoot Ferg because of the original KOS on him even though he never said he was going to shoot Ferg in chat.
*A note on detective killing: if you are an innocent the only two times you can kill a detective is
1) if they have made their intention to kill you clear by either KOSing you or shooting at you, or
2) the detective is obviously RDMing. and I mean REALLY obviously. The detective will often have cause to shoot someone first because the detective can get DNA, but if the detective is just killing everyone in sight, they're RDMing.
B. Proven: Being Proven means "This person is proven to be an innocent."
It means just about nothing with regards to whether it's legal to KOS you or not though. Someone might not believe you or just wasn't paying attention. The rules are written so that anyone not paying enough attention is not punished for not paying attention. If you are proven, and later seen having a knife (the traitor-you-killed's knife) anyone who sees you with that knife can still KOS you (again, not that they should). The only thing that being proven does with regards to who you can KOS is when you have proven everyone but one person, you can KOS the only unproven person. The ways to prove people include:
-Killing a T or being the first person to KOS a T
-Getting tested
-Dying and getting revived. (The detective can ONLY do this to prove someone if the inno AGREES to it.)
-Being attacked by a T.
-IDing a body that the detective later checks and gets credits off of. Only the IDer is proven, though.
*These are the only ways to PROVE that someone is not a T because if a T did any of these they'd either be cheating or RDMing.
However there are a LOT of clues to POINT to someone not being a T such as:
-They repeated a KOS on a person who ended up being a T. (Not the person to call out the T first, but repeated the KOS afterwords)
-They didn't kill you when you had low health and they easily could have.
-They revived the detective
-They protected you against someone who shot first even though that person ended up being an inno.
-They made correct calls, correct "suspicions," or otherwise told the truth (note that "suspecting" your T-buddy is NOT RDMing them so you are not "proven" for "suspecting" a T)
-They called the detective to a body with useful information on it.
-They're keeping track of who is proven.
-They're asking people if they're still alive.
-They're not shooting you back when you shoot at them because they know you're proven/detective.
-They're providing useful information to finding Ts. ("This person was killed by a shotgun and I saw Nilz with a shotgun")
-They disarmed a C4
-They burned a T body with a flare gun
*Be careful though. A clever T can do every single one of these without breaking the rules and they will, too.
C. Overtime: You can kill on suspicion.
The traitors get punished for taking too long. The traitors lose their element of surprise because when the time is up in Haste mode and you see "Overtime," you can kill on suspicion. This essentially translates to "you can kill any non-detective for any reason," including AFKs. however, BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ABILITY, Killing an inno as an inno is a REALLY BAD thing even if it isn't punishable, you will be KOS'd immediately, and you are killing what precious allies you might have left towards the end of the round.
D. Cause: Cause is essentially putting 1 and 1 together and piecing together that someone is a T logically.
This is collecting enough clues to prove someone is a T without ever actually SEEING them doing something that you could outright KOS them for. A lot of this isn't extremely objective which makes it hard to moderate but a lot of things just follow common sense. I'll list as many common ones as come to mind but there are infinite examples.
-IDing a body, seeing how long the person has been dead and comparing that to how close someone walking the other way would have been at the time of death.
-Being in the company of KOS'd people or people who ended up being traitors.
-Not killing someone who is KOS'd.
-Only looking at the inno in a fight when the person who died ended up being a T.
-Hearing gunshots of the weapon that the person has, hearing someone die, and seeing a body being ID'd by them that ends up being inno.
-Seeing a person in a place that they could have ONLY teleported to get there that fast.
-Seeing a person come out of where a T room entrance is after seeing the room empty.
-Catching someone in a lie, whether it be about being falsely proven, or where they were at a certain time, what gun they have, etc.
-Proving everyone else until the only unprovens MUST be traitors mathematically.
-Calling a life check and the person doesn't respond.
-A T is revived and shows up as red in the Tab menu.
-If you see a T is revived, and you see someone else with the revived T RIGHT after they are revived.
-Checking if someone is alive by asking them, not getting a response, and then KOSing the person that they just said they were with or looked suspicious.
-Getting DNA off of a corpse that leads to the killer.
-Seeing someone come out of a closet, go in there and find C4.
-Determining you are the last living inno*(see Last Living Inno below) and killing everyone you see on sight.
-Someone says something that they wouldn't know unless they were a T like "It's not overtime, we have 7 minutes left" (when it is, in fact, overtime) or "lol Rug is dead, can't you see that?"
-Seeing that they were the last person that this dead person saw by being a D and checking a body.
*Moderators, please keep in mind that if someone follows the clues that circumstantially led to another inno, that person is not RDMing. For example, if Ferg (inno) comes into a room with 3 unID'd dead innos who have been dead for ~20 seconds and just saw Nilz (inno) walking from the spot, he has enough cause to KOS Nilz EVEN THOUGH the real killer, L. (traitor), had really just killed them and teleported away. Making mistakes is a huge part of TTT.
E. Last Living Inno is a form of cause: A few things change towards the end of the game. Namely that you can KOS anyone you see if you think you are the innocents last hope. There are a few key pointers that you can use to make this claim such as:
-Pressing tab, you can mathematically prove that you are the only innocent left and everyone else must be a T
-The mic chat goes absolutely silent. No one will respond to you or your life checks.
-A group of people are coming towards you, obviously working together in overtime.
-Someone on the T's side TELLS you you are the last living inno. Even if they lie to you, you can use this lie to KOS everyone you see.
-Someone on the T side says coy shit like "KOS ferg, I saw him kill someone" even though you're the detective or it's obvious you're proven.
F. Last Round Games: Sometimes during the rounds, but usually on the last round, an admin or mod will facilitate some good ole special rounds! These are usually voted on but are not required to be voted on. These rounds have special settings or rules but just because they're special does not mean that you can RDM on them. The rules will still be in play for ANY special round that says "NO RDMing" in it. I've also noted what level of staff needs to be online for the game to be playable. The ranks go in order S.I.T./T-Mod→Admin→Superadmin
Silent round- Everyone is gagged and muted. Match plays normally. NO RDMing. (Please note that the suit zoom binds still work and are encouraged! Don't know what suit zoom is? bind it and press it and find out.)(S.I.T.s can gag everyone but not mute them, but T-Mods can gag AND mute.)
Purity round- Something wonderful happens. RDMing allowed. Good luck. (Admin needed)
Raidboss round- Someone is voted on to be the Raidboss. They have three lives to kill everyone. If the raidboss is still alive at the end, THEY win ALONE. Everyone KOS's the Raidboss no matter their team. The Raidboss MUST try to kill everyone they see. Even if T buddies. The round plays normally around it. NO RDMing. (Superadmin needed)
Deathmatch round- You can kill anyone at any time you normally could. RDMing allowed but No obvious teamkilling: no T buddy killing if you're a T, and no Detective killing if you're an inno. (S.I.T Needed)
Knife round- Everyone gets a knife. NO RDMing. (Admin needed)
Jihad round- Everyone gets a Jihad. RDMing allowed. Have a blast. (Admin needed)
The Expendables- The Staff are all Ts. Everyone vs the staff online. If you beat us you get points! NO RDMing. (Superadmin needed)
Spy fight- Everyone is cloaked. Round proceeds normally. NO RDMing. (Superadmin needed)
Newton round- Everyone on the rooftops map is given a Newton Launcher! Everyone tries to kill each other with them! RDMing allowed. (Admin needed)
C4 roulette- Everyone is given C4s. Everyone is given ANOTHER C4 every 30 seconds or so. Have another blast. RDMing allowed. (Admin needed)
Underdog round- The last living inno OR the last living Traitor is announced, healed to full health, given a knife and a defib, teleported to a safe spot, and given 255 armor (the most armor. Translates to roughly 50% damage reduction. Does not stack with purchasable armor). Note: If the underdog kills all but one and now there is a SECOND last living person of a team, that person does not get the underdog treatment of the first one. There is only ever one underdog. NO RDMing. (Admin needed)
Tank round- Everyone's armor is set to 255. (50% damage reduction) Round proceeds normally. NO RDMing. (note knives are still a 1-hit kill. Beware.) (Admin needed)
SWAT round- Everyone's hp is set to 21 (just more than 1 crowbar. Named from the Halo 3 SWAT matches.) Please unequip all hp regen, buying a health station is not allowed. Round proceeds normally. NO RDMing. (Admin needed)
G. Miscellaneous Notes: Stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else.
-Keep in mind that you can press F1 to avoid being picked for Detective. This does not improve your chances of becoming traitor.
-The rules are enforced to the will of the rule, not the letter. If you're trying to find a loophole here and you're being an asshole to do so, you're gonna get punished anyway. Don't complain to the forums about it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. Punishments:
a. RDM=Random death match: when you kill someone for reasons that are not on the KOS list and do not have enough cause to suspect they are a T. Things like "he looked at me", "I felt like it", and "lol fuk u fag". Killing an AFK as an inno is also RDM. (see Overtime below)
1 RDM= 1 slay*
2 RDM= 2 slay
3 RDM or more= a slay per RDM (or more) or a ban (up to perm, depending on the intention of the RDMer)
*If you blatantly RDM someone on their T round (like walk up and Juan Deag them in the face at the start of the round when they're afk), you may be slain an extra time at the discretion of the staff online. Same goes for blatantly RDMing a D.
When you leave after RDMing Slays turn into day long bans (depending, again, on the intention of the RDMer. If a completely new player to TTT joins and has no idea what's happening, kills someone, gets killed, and leaves: I tend to only ban them for a few hours and leave a note about pressing "f1" when they return to get an idea of how the game is played) so:
1 RDM and leave= 1 day ban
2 RDM and leave= 2-3 day ban
3 RDM and leave= 3 day- perm ban
Repeated punishments for the same thing work additively. if you RDMx2 someone, got slain twice, and RDMx2'd later, you're gonna get slain 4-5 times if not banned.
Also Revenge RDM will always be an extra slay. Revenge RDM is when someone "takes justice into their own hands" and RDMs someone because that person wasn't slain by the mods either because the mods haven't gotten to the report yet, or because the mods found no fault with the person's killing. It also encompasses any bullying aspect. If Ferg kills Nilz because "Nilz pissed me off" or "has a squeaker voice" then Ferg will get slain twice. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. THREATENING to revenge RDM can also be punished by 1-3 slays depending on the threat.
*Killing AFKs as an inno is RDMing and will be slain. THIS INCLUDES 1 CROWBAR HIT "JUST FOR LOLS"*(see Overtime below)
*Pushing AFKs off a cliff is also RDM. Pushing afks into a mousetrap is also RDM.
b. T killing as a T. This is when you are a T and you kill a T buddy, either accidentally or on purpose.
Be extra careful when Jihading because if you kill a fellow T, you are ruining the game for someone else and seriously hurting your teams chances of winning. This does NOT apply to C4 though. If you die to a fellow T's C4, it's your own fault because you can see the C4 on the map if you are paying attention.
1 TKAAT= 1-2 slays (depending on intention. An accidental Jihad kill errs towards one slay while a shotgun to the head in the T-room errs towards 2)
2+ TKAAT= 1-2 slays per teammate you killed or banned from 1 day to perma (depending on the intentions of the TKAATer.)
c. Micspamming: These are things that will get you gagged.
The threshold for gagging will get lower as the server gets more full. If there's 25 people trying to convey important information and you're yodeling on the mic, you're going to get gagged real fast. The purpose of these rules is that people both giving and getting the important information have no frustration with the communication aspect of the game. When you're about to die and no one can hear your KOS because someone is singing the Adams Family theme, it sucks. You're much less likely to get gagged in graveyard chat because it's not disrupting the game, but you're not immune.
So, in order of what is most likely to get you gagged to least:
-Obnoxious noise making for the purpose of mic spamming
-Singing. Even in graveyard chat. Don't sing.
-Screaming/yelling. If you're excited because someone is currently gunning you down, no one will hear your KOS if you're screaming into your mic and they're going to be annoyed at you for it. Trust me. It's better for everyone to act like a police dispatcher and calmly call the KOS. People will hear the words, and that's the important part.
-Metagaming: Using things outside the construction of the game to play it.This includes "Spell innocent backwards" but also applies to "I will give you 1000 points if you kill him"
-Harassment. If you're harassing other users and they're feeling bullied, I'm going to shut you up. Take that shit somewhere else. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE DISRESPECTING STAFF. If you wanna shit talk the staff, go for it. We're mature, we can take it. Silencing people is a crutch for not having a good argument and I hate seeing it on other servers. However, if you are asking questions the staff has already addressed and continue to bring up the same points about why you shouldn't have been slain, it's mic spam at that point and it will be gagged.
-Trolling. Saying things to deliberately get a reaction out of other people such as acting like you can't understand the person, making fun of their voice, or spoiling a book/movie/TV show they're talking about. The threshold for this one is pretty high, though. You have to do quite a bit of trolling in order to get gagged. Most staff won't even gag for this at all.
-And finally: When the server is particularly full and there's a lot of important information that needs to be said, someone might say something to the effect of "on topic conversation only", at which point you will be gagged for saying anything off topic to the game because the airspace just can't handle it.
1st offense: an immediate gag and a warning followed by an immediate ungag.
2nd offense: an immediate gag for the rest of the round. Reiteration of the rules. ungag'd at the "Innocents win!" or "Traitors win!" screen.
3rd+ offense: an immediate gag for the rest of the round OR an immediate gag for the rest of the map (depending on the intention of the micspammer. If you're truly in it to mic spam, you're gonna get gagged longer. If Buster just can't keep his excitement contained about his KOS's, it's not really malicious intent.)
*Also note: If you're a chronic micspammer, with many gaggings over several different days, the threshold for gagging you goes way down and your punishments will start at the 2nd offense instead of the first.
*If you continue to harass the admins in chat instead of the mic you will get muted for the duration of your gag.
If you then continue to harass the admins in the adminchat, you will get kicked.
If you then come back and continue to harass the admins, you will get a short ban, usually about 15 minutes to an hour.
d. Ghosting: Saying ANYTHING to your friend on skype/steamchat/admin chat about the game or your intentions that they didn't previously know. THIS INCLUDES "hey revive me."
Punishments for ghosting varies from 1 slay to a perma ban depending on the intention of the ghoster. If some noob says "hey my friend said to revive him pls" on the open mic, they obviously don't know that's not allowed, and instead of throwing the B&ook at them, explain it's ghosting and to not do it again.
If, however, two people are clearly working together no matter their alignment or one happens to know who the T is when the other is a dead T, perma ban them. Slays won't do anything. If they're ghosting in this server, they will do it again forever, so to keep cheaters off this server, perma ban them. Ask them questions though to figure out their intent. If they outright lie to you, perma ban them. If they tell the truth but talk like they didn't know they were breaking the rules, explain the rules they broke and slay for a round instead. TELLING THINGS TO ADMINS WHEN YOU'RE DEAD THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IS GHOSTING, ESPECIALLY "hey revive me" but also includes things like "did you hear my KOS before I died?" ANYTHING that applies to the game that could change the outcome of it is ghosting. When you're dead, your influence on the game dies with you.
*Note on ghosting: Being dead, and being revived and KOSing people you saw do traitorous things as a ghost is not ghosting.
*does not apply to prop possessing. Go wild ya watermelon. no "seances" though. Nothing like "jump twice if Ferg is a traitor" stuff.
e. Delaying/Camping: This is if you are a T (not an inno), and you are staying in one spot for too long.
The burden of moving the game along falls on the Ts because the time limit is in favor of the innos. Delaying can only happen if there is a delay. To clarify, if the traitors are Ferg, Nilz, and Rug, and Ferg and Nilz go out and kill everyone, but Rug sits in the T room the entire time, THAT'S FINE. As long as action is happening, you can camp as long as you want. The fewer Ts alive, the more the burden of action falls on them. If you're the last T alive, you are absolutely delaying the game if you're ever waiting for any reason. This includes "waiting for people to walk into my T-trap." "waiting for health regen" and "waiting for people to walk outside so I can snipe them." If however you are DOING things, even if they're not directly finding people to kill, that's fine. Things like "find a T-buddy to revive" or "finding more ammo or a better gun" or "getting into a good vantage point to snipe" are 100% not delaying.
Delay=Slay. It's pretty simple. Also maybe a slay next round depending on the amount of time delayed. (The only time I can think of this happening is if the round ends because of time up and the admin just got on.)
f. False Reporting: If you report someone for RDM or something that you clearly started or they clearly had a reason to kill you, and you do not forgive them after seeing their explanation you are wasting mod's time and we will slay you for it.
1st offense: ignored. Maybe you're not that good with the rules. We won't even say anything.
2nd offense: Warning. Direction to this rule list. (Tell them to type "!motd")
3rd offense: 1 slay per offense there after.
*A note on reports: If you are frivolous, respond with insults/name calling, or otherwise don't take/respond to a report on you seriously, here's what we do: We check if the person reporting has ANY possible reason to report you and if they do, we give you the slay, and move on.
*Another note in the same vein: if someone reports you because you killed him and you had a legit reason PLEASE put some effort in explaining it when you have to respond to the report. Saves us a lot of work. And if you happen to shoot someone on accident, or make a mistakes, whatever. Be APOLOGETIC when you get reported, seriously, just apologize and 9 out of 10 times the reporting player will forgive you. A lot of people will confidently say ''oh I saw you shoot Blah, don't t-bait'' even when the person that got killed didn't even shoot, guess what the reporting player does? He doesn't forgive, but if the reported player had responded with ''Were you not the one shooting?? I was SO sure you were shooting dude, I'm so sorry, man.'' he will most likely forgive you.
*ANOTHER note on reports: If you were KOSed by person A, and person B simply follows the KOS and kills you, do NOT report person B, keep track of who KOSd you in the first place, and report that person (if the KOS was false).
g. AFKing being Away From your Keyboard for the entire duration of the match.
If you are going to be AFK for a whole round, press f1 and check the "spectator only" box as a courtesy to the other players. If you're AFK and you get a T or a D, you're seriously hurting that sides chances of winning. The Auto-spectate thing doesn't always work, so please do it yourself. If you're only standing up for a bit and intend to be back in a couple of minutes, don't sweat it. My general meter for "a player is AFK the whole round" is if they're AFK all the way to overtime.
AFK=Moved to spectator-only (If the staff on is an admin. If not, you're kicked)
*You will never be given autoslays for being AFK.
*When you come back, just press F1, scroll down, and uncheck the "spectator-only" box to get yourself back in the action.
*Killing AFKs as an inno is RDMing and will be slain. THIS INCLUDES 1 CROWBAR HIT "JUST FOR LOLS"*(see Overtime below)
*Pushing AFKs off a cliff is also RDM. Pushing afks into a mousetrap is also RDM.
h. Porn Sprays. Pretty self explanatory.
I'm saying that boobs are okay but absolutely no genitalia, whether it be anime, black and white "art", animals, or whatever the hell else you freakin weirdos wanna share with the world. This also applies to gore or "shock images" and things that look like porn sprays but really aren't. For instance, three pigs photographed and framed in such a way as to look like a man's taint. It should be clear what is not allowed and if you have to ask, the answer is probably no. Kids frequent this server. Keep that in mind.
1st offense=A warning.*
2nd offense= A warning and a kick.
3rd offense= A short ban, usually 15 min to an hour.
*There are some things we will perma ban you instantly for on the first offense. Don't try to figure out what they are.
*Anything "offensive" or racist is fine, just no porn (or gore).
*Applies to avatars.
i. Cheating Death. When a T-trap should have killed you or you were only able to get to a place because of that 10K neato jetpack you bought.
This isn't a punishment, per se, but it is something the mods will do to keep the jetpacks from being too imbalanced. There are only two instances this would occur right now, but if more maps add on where using your jetpack allows you to cheat death, this will apply to them too.
Doing these will get you slain mid-round:
-Being in the really low area in rooftops.
-Surviving the T-trap in community bowling that drops you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Game Calls: When and why it's okay to kill someone.
The main point of these rules is to stop RANDOM death matching for happening on the server which is why it's really important to make clear when a death match is random or not, because an inno can kill an inno and be wrong but for the right reasons, and this should NOT be punishable so I'm going to give two lists, one of KOSable and one of Cause. Cause is essentially "evidence to point to you being a traitor" which is not the same as "actions that people can kill you for if they see you do them." Confused? It'll make sense later.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Some of these aren't reasons that you SHOULD kos someone, such as someone is in the T-room after they have killed Ts and are proven, but they are reasons that you CAN kos someone. These rules are built around the fact that not everyone pays the most attention to the game. If someone misses the fact that you killed three Ts, but sees you in the T-room, they are still playing by the rules to KOS you. So when you see someone with a knife or kill someone in front of you, USE SOME CRITICAL THINKING DAMN IT. IT COULD BE THE SECRET KNIFE AND THEY COULD HAVE JUST KILLED A T. SEE IF THEY ID THE BODY FIRST FFS.
A. KOSing: Kill on sight. This is what you say to indicate to the rest of the server that they should kill the person.
You have to have a reason to say this though(unless you are a T.). I will use this interchangeably with "kill" because killing a person and KOSing a person aren't always the same thing (such as when they doorblock you and you've given them three warnings you can KILL them but the rest of the server has no reason to KOS them.)
1) KOSable actions: (these obviously don't apply to the Detective)
-Walking past an unID, Carrying an unID'd body. Also hanging a body.
-Wearing a disguise
-Having a T-weapon, EVEN if you got it from a dead T, EVEN if the detective gave it to you himself, EVEN if you announced in chat, made a billboard, took out an ad in Craigslist, and bought a skybanner, anyone can always kill you for having a T-weapon. My advice: If you have one and you're innocent, Don't take it out. Problem solved.
-Being in a T-room, EVEN if you killed three Ts while you were in there, if anyone sees you in the T-room they can KOS you (not that they should, but they can).
-Shooting at/ Killing someone. Anyone. At any time. For any reason. If you Juan Deag 3 Ts in the face, identify all three bodies, type "lol" in chat, and an inno sees you do it but don't register that they're Ts you just killed, they can kill you.(again, not that they SHOULD)
(*A note on "misclicks." They are no excuse. It doesn't matter. If you misclick and shoot someone, they can kill you. Actions speak louder than words do in TTT.)
-Calling a KOS on someone who ended up being inno. Even if they were RDMing, even if you are "proven", even if you didn't directly kill them.
-Teleporting.
-Propkilling: Swinging a prop violently around at all.
-Propsurfing, but only when they're IN THE ACT. (Further clarification: If you SEE someone prop surfing, you can call KOS on them, but if they're in an area that they could have only gotten to BY propsurfing, you CAN NOT call KOS on them.(I personally don't like this rule, but I didn't write them.))
-Destroying/Damaging health stations.
-Being in the close vicinity of a decoy and not shooting it. If you see someone with a decoy you have to give them an opportunity to shoot it. If, however they are walking away from where a decoy is, THAT's KOSable.
-Following: you have to give someone THREE warnings before you can kill them for following you. (by saying the whole sentence "Stop following me, this is your first/second/third warning" and waiting AT LEAST A FULL SECOND between each sentence.)
-Door blocking: You have to give someone THREE warnings before you can kill them for door blocking. (same as ↑)
-Moving a body the detective is trying to revive after the detective has given THREE warnings to anyone to drop it (same as ↑)
-Refusing to get tested when asked by a detective (not inno) THREE times (same as ↑)
Map specific KOSable actions.:
*on 67th way:
-Destroying the T tester, even pre round. Just because you bought that T round and know you're going to be a T doesn't mean you can get away with destroying the tester. (you thought you were so clever.)
-Jailing someone. If the person learns your name, they can KOS you AFTER they have given you three warnings to let you out. (A note on this: If you SPAWN in the jail and it's still preround, type "kill" in the console (press ~) to kill yourself and spawn somewhere else when the round starts)
*on Minecraft:
-Hiding/throwing Diamond ores/Gold blocks into the ocean.
*on Rooftops:
-Destroying bridges.
-Carrying the charged Axe.
-*If someone is in the really low area that you can only get to with a jetpack, tell the mods (type @message). That's slayable.
2) Traitor baiting: Traitor baiting is a REALLY broad term meaning "trying to make other people think you're a traitor when you're not" in order to "bait" them into attacking you so you can RDM them and say they shot first. All of these are also KOSable. This includes:
-Walking at someone with an explosive barrel.
-Shooting. Ever. If you were sniping flower pots but the person next to you didn't see that, they have cause to kill you. If you were shooting straight up with a HUGE, anyone can kill you for it.
-Throwing a discombob on Rooftops or Dolls, Canyon, or any future map that has a falling hazard.
-Throwing an incendiary on any map.
-Saying "Stand still for a second", "I'm a traitor, I confess", "Hey you're the last inno" (see Last Living Inno below) or ANYTHING that even hints at you're about to kill someone or are a traitor. It's all Traitor baiting.
-Looking at where the button to open the T room is and acting like you're trying to open it.
-Crouching and running at someone with a grenade to make it look like a knife
-Crouching and facing the wall to make it look like you're planting C4.
*if you Traitor bait at someone who then shoots at you and then use that shooting at you to kill them, that's RDMing because you started the encounter with a traitor bait.
3) Notable NON-KOSable actions:
-Aiming at someone's head. The only way to see people's names is to aim your weapon at them. It's not KOSable
-"Looking at someone funny"
-Being AFK.
-Being at low health
-Suspicion only (see Overtime below)
-proppushing on any map without a fall hazard.
-Being in an area that you could have only gotten to by propsurfing.
-Being in a room with a lot of ID'd dead bodies.*(see Cause below)
-Insulting people.
-Having the same gun as the murder weapon for that body you just found.*(see Cause below)
-Being on a roof/outside/ far away/behind the bookshelf when someone is sniped. you have to actually see a person shoot to KOS them.*(see Cause below)
-Running from C4 or "being in a place where C4 was just placed"*(see Cause below)
-When someone walks around carefree, not paranoid of anyone.
-When someone "stops moving for a second to buy from the T-menu." Not moving is not KOSable.
-Carrying T bodies anywhere or checking them (for credits)
-Being close to a trap being activated a la "I saw him look at the trap when it went off." Doesn't matter. Not KOSable.
-Running away from shootings instead of investigating them.
-"coincidentally" walking away right before a Jihad.
-Taking the DNA scanner off of a dead D, having it, or hiding it.
4) Being KOS'd: There is a tricky rule about being KOS'd as an inno. When you are KOS'd, you can kill anyone who makes their intention to kill you clear such as the person who initially calls KOS on you and EVERY PERSON WHO CONFIRMS IT.
Example:
Nilz (Traitor) says KOS Ferg (Innocent) and on the mic chat
Rug (Detective) says "Alright KOS Ferg. Got it."
Ferg (innocent) walks into a room with Rug (Detective) and has the right to shoot Rug BEFORE Rug shoots Ferg even though they're both on the same team.
Ferg (innocent) walks into a room with L. (innocent) who never acknowledged the KOS. L. can shoot Ferg because of the original KOS on him even though he never said he was going to shoot Ferg in chat.
*A note on detective killing: if you are an innocent the only two times you can kill a detective is
1) if they have made their intention to kill you clear by either KOSing you or shooting at you, or
2) the detective is obviously RDMing. and I mean REALLY obviously. The detective will often have cause to shoot someone first because the detective can get DNA, but if the detective is just killing everyone in sight, they're RDMing.
B. Proven: Being Proven means "This person is proven to be an innocent."
It means just about nothing with regards to whether it's legal to KOS you or not though. Someone might not believe you or just wasn't paying attention. The rules are written so that anyone not paying enough attention is not punished for not paying attention. If you are proven, and later seen having a knife (the traitor-you-killed's knife) anyone who sees you with that knife can still KOS you (again, not that they should). The only thing that being proven does with regards to who you can KOS is when you have proven everyone but one person, you can KOS the only unproven person. The ways to prove people include:
-Killing a T or being the first person to KOS a T
-Getting tested
-Dying and getting revived. (The detective can ONLY do this to prove someone if the inno AGREES to it.)
-Being attacked by a T.
-IDing a body that the detective later checks and gets credits off of. Only the IDer is proven, though.
*These are the only ways to PROVE that someone is not a T because if a T did any of these they'd either be cheating or RDMing.
However there are a LOT of clues to POINT to someone not being a T such as:
-They repeated a KOS on a person who ended up being a T. (Not the person to call out the T first, but repeated the KOS afterwords)
-They didn't kill you when you had low health and they easily could have.
-They revived the detective
-They protected you against someone who shot first even though that person ended up being an inno.
-They made correct calls, correct "suspicions," or otherwise told the truth (note that "suspecting" your T-buddy is NOT RDMing them so you are not "proven" for "suspecting" a T)
-They called the detective to a body with useful information on it.
-They're keeping track of who is proven.
-They're asking people if they're still alive.
-They're not shooting you back when you shoot at them because they know you're proven/detective.
-They're providing useful information to finding Ts. ("This person was killed by a shotgun and I saw Nilz with a shotgun")
-They disarmed a C4
-They burned a T body with a flare gun
*Be careful though. A clever T can do every single one of these without breaking the rules and they will, too.
C. Overtime: You can kill on suspicion.
The traitors get punished for taking too long. The traitors lose their element of surprise because when the time is up in Haste mode and you see "Overtime," you can kill on suspicion. This essentially translates to "you can kill any non-detective for any reason," including AFKs. however, BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ABILITY, Killing an inno as an inno is a REALLY BAD thing even if it isn't punishable, you will be KOS'd immediately, and you are killing what precious allies you might have left towards the end of the round.
D. Cause: Cause is essentially putting 1 and 1 together and piecing together that someone is a T logically.
This is collecting enough clues to prove someone is a T without ever actually SEEING them doing something that you could outright KOS them for. A lot of this isn't extremely objective which makes it hard to moderate but a lot of things just follow common sense. I'll list as many common ones as come to mind but there are infinite examples.
-IDing a body, seeing how long the person has been dead and comparing that to how close someone walking the other way would have been at the time of death.
-Being in the company of KOS'd people or people who ended up being traitors.
-Not killing someone who is KOS'd.
-Only looking at the inno in a fight when the person who died ended up being a T.
-Hearing gunshots of the weapon that the person has, hearing someone die, and seeing a body being ID'd by them that ends up being inno.
-Seeing a person in a place that they could have ONLY teleported to get there that fast.
-Seeing a person come out of where a T room entrance is after seeing the room empty.
-Catching someone in a lie, whether it be about being falsely proven, or where they were at a certain time, what gun they have, etc.
-Proving everyone else until the only unprovens MUST be traitors mathematically.
-Calling a life check and the person doesn't respond.
-A T is revived and shows up as red in the Tab menu.
-If you see a T is revived, and you see someone else with the revived T RIGHT after they are revived.
-Checking if someone is alive by asking them, not getting a response, and then KOSing the person that they just said they were with or looked suspicious.
-Getting DNA off of a corpse that leads to the killer.
-Seeing someone come out of a closet, go in there and find C4.
-Determining you are the last living inno*(see Last Living Inno below) and killing everyone you see on sight.
-Someone says something that they wouldn't know unless they were a T like "It's not overtime, we have 7 minutes left" (when it is, in fact, overtime) or "lol Rug is dead, can't you see that?"
-Seeing that they were the last person that this dead person saw by being a D and checking a body.
*Moderators, please keep in mind that if someone follows the clues that circumstantially led to another inno, that person is not RDMing. For example, if Ferg (inno) comes into a room with 3 unID'd dead innos who have been dead for ~20 seconds and just saw Nilz (inno) walking from the spot, he has enough cause to KOS Nilz EVEN THOUGH the real killer, L. (traitor), had really just killed them and teleported away. Making mistakes is a huge part of TTT.
E. Last Living Inno is a form of cause: A few things change towards the end of the game. Namely that you can KOS anyone you see if you think you are the innocents last hope. There are a few key pointers that you can use to make this claim such as:
-Pressing tab, you can mathematically prove that you are the only innocent left and everyone else must be a T
-The mic chat goes absolutely silent. No one will respond to you or your life checks.
-A group of people are coming towards you, obviously working together in overtime.
-Someone on the T's side TELLS you you are the last living inno. Even if they lie to you, you can use this lie to KOS everyone you see.
-Someone on the T side says coy shit like "KOS ferg, I saw him kill someone" even though you're the detective or it's obvious you're proven.
F. Last Round Games: Sometimes during the rounds, but usually on the last round, an admin or mod will facilitate some good ole special rounds! These are usually voted on but are not required to be voted on. These rounds have special settings or rules but just because they're special does not mean that you can RDM on them. The rules will still be in play for ANY special round that says "NO RDMing" in it. I've also noted what level of staff needs to be online for the game to be playable. The ranks go in order S.I.T./T-Mod→Admin→Superadmin
Silent round- Everyone is gagged and muted. Match plays normally. NO RDMing. (Please note that the suit zoom binds still work and are encouraged! Don't know what suit zoom is? bind it and press it and find out.)(S.I.T.s can gag everyone but not mute them, but T-Mods can gag AND mute.)
Purity round- Something wonderful happens. RDMing allowed. Good luck. (Admin needed)
Raidboss round- Someone is voted on to be the Raidboss. They have three lives to kill everyone. If the raidboss is still alive at the end, THEY win ALONE. Everyone KOS's the Raidboss no matter their team. The Raidboss MUST try to kill everyone they see. Even if T buddies. The round plays normally around it. NO RDMing. (Superadmin needed)
Deathmatch round- You can kill anyone at any time you normally could. RDMing allowed but No obvious teamkilling: no T buddy killing if you're a T, and no Detective killing if you're an inno. (S.I.T Needed)
Knife round- Everyone gets a knife. NO RDMing. (Admin needed)
Jihad round- Everyone gets a Jihad. RDMing allowed. Have a blast. (Admin needed)
The Expendables- The Staff are all Ts. Everyone vs the staff online. If you beat us you get points! NO RDMing. (Superadmin needed)
Spy fight- Everyone is cloaked. Round proceeds normally. NO RDMing. (Superadmin needed)
Newton round- Everyone on the rooftops map is given a Newton Launcher! Everyone tries to kill each other with them! RDMing allowed. (Admin needed)
C4 roulette- Everyone is given C4s. Everyone is given ANOTHER C4 every 30 seconds or so. Have another blast. RDMing allowed. (Admin needed)
Underdog round- The last living inno OR the last living Traitor is announced, healed to full health, given a knife and a defib, teleported to a safe spot, and given 255 armor (the most armor. Translates to roughly 50% damage reduction. Does not stack with purchasable armor). Note: If the underdog kills all but one and now there is a SECOND last living person of a team, that person does not get the underdog treatment of the first one. There is only ever one underdog. NO RDMing. (Admin needed)
Tank round- Everyone's armor is set to 255. (50% damage reduction) Round proceeds normally. NO RDMing. (note knives are still a 1-hit kill. Beware.) (Admin needed)
SWAT round- Everyone's hp is set to 21 (just more than 1 crowbar. Named from the Halo 3 SWAT matches.) Please unequip all hp regen, buying a health station is not allowed. Round proceeds normally. NO RDMing. (Admin needed)
G. Miscellaneous Notes: Stuff that doesn't really fit anywhere else.
-Keep in mind that you can press F1 to avoid being picked for Detective. This does not improve your chances of becoming traitor.
-The rules are enforced to the will of the rule, not the letter. If you're trying to find a loophole here and you're being an asshole to do so, you're gonna get punished anyway. Don't complain to the forums about it.
