Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

Sounds like you need to have weapons be locked for X seconds following a decloak. Rules are boring and terrible.

Being said I have to agree with everyone saying this is a terrible ruling. Back in my day we basically just shouted "engaging" into local chat and then cruised around looking for anyone we know heard it. If we had a little more time we simply PMd everyone on the global server an engagement notice in the hopes that we'd run into them later. I don't see the difference between that and dropping the hammer as soon as you drop cloak. It certainly doesn't run against the spirit of the rules or the concept of giving everyone a measure of equal opportunity before you put your poker into their pooper. There's precedence here by thunder.

All in all I agree with Jammi and everyone should consider our positions to be in lockstep.

P.S. Also in the future tell people that you'll be willing to have a discussion on the matter once a final position has been reached by the admin team as a whole following a consultation with the code monkeys, but in the interim the sanction holds. That'll buy you anywhere from a month to a decade or so.

P.P.S. You're all terrible people.
