I think his forums keep going down.

I find it bizarre that being an starfish and blocking are things that get you banned. Blocking people is both hilarious and tactical.

I've seen 30 people die at once thanks to some superb blocking on the beta city map and the guy went on to win the round. There's nothing wrong with sabotaging your enemies. If it's really causing trouble the map should be altered to hinder the blocking, not make silly rules to ban people. I've been the victim of blocking plenty of times and sure it's frustrating but you've got to admire the guy for having the initiative to eliminate most of the players before trying to actually win.

Blocking isn't against the rules, but being an starfish and taunting is shameful.

I can see what Ephi means. It's frustrating to be part of the blocked party, but the blocker is just trying to win by any means possible. Ideally the maps we played would have multiple ways up, so blocking doesn't become an obnoxious part of the game, but still a factor to be considered.

Can't you usually knock the person away from the passage they're blocking anyway?

Sorry but I'm going to have to support Kickflow on this one. Blocking shouldn't be bannable, and taunting/rubbing it in your face is something everyone does every once in a while. Kickflow really shouldn't have been banned for that and I'm disappointed in the administration. Not sure why Siba is even admin because he pulls this kind of crap so often. Just my opinion so don't go ape stuff on me.

siba will ban anyone for anything, he just needs to calm down

not always. on afghan dm, it's incredibly easy to block the stairs in the blue building, the highest building in the map.

it'd be interesting to see a map which utilized the parkour playertype + several similar height buildings + constant vulnerability

The map pyramid should be removed. It's basically wait till the lava gets to the top, then everyone dies.

The first round took 6:27 to finish. Do the math, thats 32 minutes for all 5 rounds to finish.

Agree

Siba's attitude seems to be; "IF YOU MAKE ME LOSE I WILL BAN YOU BECAUSE IM ADMIN!!! LOLOLOLOL"

it just needs fixing. remove some walls, add some more holes, and the map is good. imagine at the center of the roof there is a hole that leads inside. people will fall in faster and there will be less standoffs.

also the lava speed was fixed, so thats good.

Zapk has already said nothing will be done about the pyramid.

What?
When did I say that?

It was at one point. The point is to be the last one standing right? I wouldn't call a blocker an starfish. He is just trying to do the objective of the gamemode. But my opinion doesn't matter because you hate me.
