[Answered] asking a T in prison break to stop knifing

[Hellobby]

I was just wondering if you can ask a t to stop knifing in the prison break server

[asdfg]

I've always thought you could since you are constantly asked to START knifing in Simon says and if you stop then you die. The only rule that could conflict with this is reasonable orders rules, but I think telling a T to not knife is pretty reasonable.

Eh, not fond of that line of thinking. That's in a death game and shouldn't apply the same logic to regular scenarios.

 

Regardless I agree with the rest. I see no reason why you couldn't tell a t to stop knifing, as long as you're reasonable about it. Meaning don't tell them to stop knifing with 3 mins left in the game, then shoot them with 30 secs left in the game if they knife again.

Asking Ts to stop knifing is same as asking them to freeze once they've reached the order => There's no reason to not allow it, but as Goku said and for any other request, don't abuse it

Hmm I would agree with @BloodyKiller but I feel as this gets to some gray territory of rules,not sure why but it just seems a bit iffy

[XeNo]

I don't claim to know PB rules to a T. @Nuclear Onion @Wawa

 

However, I think asking a T to stop knifing (Say you're trying to move past them in a small hallway or climb something a T is standing near) is reasonable and should be allowed.

Tbh the only gray area I can think of would be the rule about reasonable orders. But there's really nothing unreasonable about telling a T to stop knifing. Now, that doesn't mean CTs should start telling them to stop knifing all the time just for the hell of it, for example like Xeno said there are some instances where telling them to stop knifing is very reasonable. And if you think about it, you've always been allowed to tell a T to stop knifing a vent.

 

Out of curiosity @Hellobby what spurred this question? Assuming something happened on the server.

There's nothing wrong with asking someone to stop knifing, a bit weird for me I'll admit, but surely there isn't anything wrong with it.

I know yesterday when I was playing, Bubblez was telling a T to stop knifing because he was going to try and move closer to check something and the T was swinging his knife all around. The T then said he can't tell him to stop knifing and Bubblez wasn't sure if that was actually a rule but just let it slide anyways and didn't keep ordering him to stop knifing.

an order is an order, but players in PB tend to think they can do what they want as long as it is not "written rules". For example, players goes like "YOU NEVER SAID NO JUMPING", "YOU NEVER SAID I CAN'T RUN", "YOU NEVER SAID I CAN'T X", "FREEKILL, YOU NEED TO WARNING SHOT" "you never said BE INSIDE" as he was running around the big cage when was told "go to big cage"
