Gameplay Rules
- No RDM
- RDM is causing damage to another player without valid reason, even if they gave permission.
- AFK players may be killed when there are less than 2 minutes left in the round.
- Kill on Sight (KOS)
- KOS means calling out a player as a traitor.
- Responsibility for the damage to a KOS’d player is on the player who called the KOS.
- Repeating a KOS may make you the original source. This includes stating a KOS in the form of a question.
- You may attack a player being shot by a detective, unless the detective is baiting others.
- You can be killed for being tazed. The detective is at fault and will be held accountable for RDM.
- Guilt by Association (GBA)
- A player is GBA if they witness (or could reasonably witness) a traitorous act and do not react when safe to do so.
- The victim of a traitorous act cannot be considered GBA.
- Not killing a KOS’d player is not GBA.
- Warning Teammates
- You must warn teammates before using items that may cause damage (all grenades except smoke).
- Warnings must be timely and allow teammates to clear the area.
- You do not need to warn for placing C4, death stations, or tripwires unless placed in high-traffic areas.
- Crossfire
- Crossfire is accidentally damaging someone while targeting a valid player.
- Crossfire is not considered RDM.
- Does not apply to prop kills (except the barrel launcher traitor weapon).
- Radio commands may count as crossfire if misdirected.
- Grace Period
- You may be killed for a traitorous act for up to 3 seconds after identifying a traitor’s body.
- Common Sense
- If you are 100% certain a player is a traitor based on direct evidence, you may kill them.
- Forgiveness
- The victim must forgive the RDM for the report to be voided.
- Mass RDM and RDM chains cannot be forgiven.
- Prop Pushing / Blocking / Throwing and Surfing
- Allowed, but traitorous if damage is likely.
- Prop surfing into unreachable areas is not allowed.
- Camping / Delaying
