I know rules are rules, but like Ike said the admins have a really firm grip on the Rule 2 excuse (no RDMing) on the server. Because of this, innocents can't defend themselves. An adapted point of the Mafia Mystery gamemode is to kill before being killed. Because the mafia players have one objective and that is to kill you, so you have to hunt them down and kill them first.
Exactly. The whole point of the server is that you're being hunted, so you have to act on improvised judgement. As example of how bad administration ruins the game, my younger brother Giroian got banned just a few hours ago on BlockoBlocko's server for attempting to protect somebody at the time he thought was an innocent.
From what he told me, somebody walked by and started randomly shooting a guy, so my brother tried to get his reason for attacking the guy, and while asking, the suspicious player went to finish off the victim. Because the instigator hadn't given reason, my brother had to assess the situation and make a decision. His decision was to save the victim and kill the instigator. It turns out the instigator was innocent and the victim was mafia.
The admin who questioned and then ultimately banned Giroian stated that my brother should have questioned him before shooting. My brother's argument against this statement was that the instigator should have questioned the victim before attacking him. In my honest opinion, the instigator took full responsibility for what happened after attacking somebody without a given reason.
Whoever unfortunate enough to be the witness would have most likely made the same decision that my brother made, to be honest. If you give somebody suspicious an opportunity to attack you, chances are that they will. Had the instigator been part of the mafia team that truly killed a victim, and my brother followed the admin's advice, he would have been attacked and or killed. This is something you have to expect when dealing with a situation like this.
The reason why punishing innocents that kill other innocents in every situation is bad is because you're discouraging the players from actually playing the game legitimately. Who knows if the guy who randomly kills somebody is mafia or not? Who knows if he's going to attack anyone else given the chance? The entire game hinges on that uncertainty, and punishing people for acting on their judgement is actively making your server worse.
