Will dodgeball get an update? (or more admins)

    Since theres is literally a surge of new players on the dodgeball server in the last couple of days, which is a good thing.

    But none of them will follow the rule of no airblasting/burning/melee other players (why is it still not on the rules page?), no matter how much the more seasoned players tell them not to.

    What is needed here is either an update to remove the ability to hurt (burn and melee) or push other players, or have more admins patrolling the server.


    Also there seems to be more flare team killers lately.

    as you do that can you do the range of the player bigger it was an bit fast to read so ( an player = 50 (units)) then do 75/125 or so :) and it helps (then only for admins!!)

    Yes, i believe the server NEEDS admins that will play reguraly to guide the 'newbs' in playing dodgeball 8)

    People just don't listen to normal players

    I am new to dodgeball. Since the !rules did not state anything about airblast pushing enemies over the edges, I had all the right to consider this a legit tactic. Besides, if it was against the rules, I supposed the game would not allow me to do it in the first place.

    Imo, it's more of a common sense kind of rule. I mean, you know that the mode is about killing the other team with a rocket, not with pushing them off a cliff. it's like punching an oppenent in the face to take him out in a ballsport. It's overall not accepted in the dodgeball games to grief/annoy players with pushing them around. (the fact that people start to complain should be a sign that it's not tolerated)
    Imagine if someone would do that to you the whole time, wouldn't you think that it's annoying?

    I think the reason, that you can still push players is because there isn't a good plugin to prevent players to do that.

    Yes! Although it seems obvious - Their are new players on the server every day that don't know the unwritten rules!

    I hope that one day their could be a console admin or something to message the rules :?
