Gmod TTT Ruleset and How to Play

[Huwajux]

TTT IS A HIGHLY SOCIAL AND COMPLEX GAME MODE. THE RULES INCLUDED BELOW CANNOT COVER ANY AND EVERY SCENARIO. THERE WILL BE MANY INSTANCES LEFT TO THE ADMINS' DISCRETION. AS LONG AS YOU USE COMMON SENSE AND PLAY IN GOOD FAITH THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THE POTENTIAL FOR WIGGLE ROOM AND UNDERSTANDING SO LONG AS THIS IS NOT ABUSED.

 

How to Play:

 

Trouble in Terrorist Town is a gamemode that tests your awareness and trust. Players are assigned one of three roles:

 

• Innocents: Innocents are unproven players whose goal is to survive till rounds end or assist the detectives in finding and eliminating the traitors.
• Traitors: Traitors are to eliminate all innocents and detectives before the round ends. They have traitor partners and access to an item menu that can assist them in achieving this goal.
• Detectives: Detectives are proven players whose role is known to all. Their goal is to seek out and expose the traitors. They can assign detective partners to trusted players and access to an item menu that can assist them in accomplishing this goal.

 

 

Definitions:

 

• Area / Room Claim - Claiming a specific area or room and RDMing any who enters.
• Association - Identifying a player as a traitor based on their interactions/connections with another traitor who is actively committing a traitorous act.
• Consent RDM - Giving players permissions to kill you or vice versa.
• Ghosting - Giving alive players information they should not know.
• ID - Identifying the body of a dead player by clicking E on it. The body changes to the color of the role of the dead player and an ID notification appears in chat.
• KOS - Kill on Sight, called on anyone performing traitorous acts followed by their name. All roles are allowed to call and pursue KOSes.
• Prop block - Using in game objects to block or trap people.
• RDM - Random Death Match; harming players for reasons not within our rules.
• Teaming - Working with players of an opposing role while knowing their role.
• Teamkilling - Traitors only; anything you do that could cause your traitor buddies’ death.
