that is a 0.02%, or a 1 in 5000, chance of this happening. i’m ok with those odds
The majority of us playing right now all agreed to the rules as a social contract to make the game as enjoyable as it can be for everyone for what it has to offer. Because, ultimately, it is a game and we want to make it fun while being fair on everyone playing it in good faith. This includes taking the occasional asswhooping for certain actions you bring upon yourself but are allowed to do (the aforementioned 'soul' as stated by MSO). If you cannot agree to this social contract, why
are you here? What
is fair on you, and why is this social contract not allowed to be altered if you are to be affected by its alteration? What motivation do you have to play, and what place does anyone else have in this equation that isn't yourself?
You don't have to run the risk assessment and roll the dice by just trying to follow along with this agreement. There is also a sentiment that people aren't perfect at following the rules to begin with, and that those people trying and failing deserve to be given a fair shake in good faith. If what you have said is true, have you not basically removed any doubt about your intentions and consideration for this social contract by saying you're going to play chicken with admins until you get banned? What good does that do anyone, including yourself? What if, hypothetically, you did get banned for it, even if by your own perception it seems unlikely? What would you do after that?
The social contract I and everyone else agree to includes the main rules, primarily rule 1, and any headmin rulings that classify as rule 1. Fun fact: did you know 99% of TG players
don’t even read the forums? That’s right, the vast majority of the players who would even say ligger to begin with, aren’t aware of this ruling. It won’t affect them unless they use it to killbait.
I’m not going to use it to killbait so it won’t affect me. Does that make sense? Also, don’t put words in my mouth. I never said I’m going to play chicken until I get banned. I’m going to follow the rules that the admins enforce. If a headmin just really really hates the L word and makes some legalese exception rule that goes against commonsense escalation in a confusing way, that doesn’t seem relevant to me, nor do I see an admin really enforcing that, so I’ll keep it in mind but if it comes down to preventing myself from being killed because some rando overheard me say it in what was a somewhat acceptable context, and wants his free frag, he can get fucked.
I have let myself be killed before by the way, i.e. if I’ve instigated something for a poor reason, and the other player broke out lethals, and I can’t respond nonlethally, it does happen I’ll just take the L because I know responding lethally or winning the fight would be killbaiting. I’m not gonna killbait but I think this rule leaves out the situations where this WOULDN’T qualify as killbaiting, of course it doesn’t mention those situations because that’s a bit technical and gets away from the goal of the ruling: destroy people who say ligger.
