Trouble In Terrorist Town
Guidelines
Saying that someone is suspicious or that you think that they are the traitor
You are allowed to call suspicion on someone or say that you think that they are the traitor, but please don’t jump the gun on this (say that people are suspicious just because of who they are, or doing it even if they have done nothing to warrant suspicion). If someone almost breaks a bridge, that warrants suspicion. If a person is running around and looking at you, that does NOT warrant suspicion. Please be fair and don’t call people out for no reason.
Things you can’t call someone suspicious for (or say that you think they are the traitor because of it). If you call someone out for this, it will not be valid. If someone does this to you, merely refer to these guidelines.
Gamemode-specific rules
Traitorous Acts
if you do any of these acts and get/have been seen by a player they can call a KOS on you and or immediately shoot you
*Breaking Bridges
*Unprovoked Grenade throwing (discomb and incend, please dont get startled by a smoke grenade)
*Random Shooting (anywhere near players, or in the direction of players)
*Equipping traitor-only weaponry without telling anyone from who you got it from (is not RDM if innocent and killed for the reason of holding the item however as there is a good chance a person did not hear or see a message regarding it)
*Activating/enabling traps (this includes activating/enabling traps for the use of the traitor like the doors on ttt_airbus)
*Hiding ore/gold blocks etc
*Breaking the Traitor tester
*Trapping/blocking of persons (and not stopping after they ask you to move)
*Charging the axe/prop that kills
*Saying you are a Traitor
*Shooting explosive barrels near other players, or held by players (or running around with explosives near someones face for more than a few seconds in total)
*Pointing a gun at someones head (close range)
*Not identifying bodies that you run past
You are not allowed to force people to get tested
People can say no to being tested for whatever reason they may have (they may not want to go to the tester due to them suspecting the traitor is next to it etc). You may not kill someone or block someone who is refusing to get tested. You may however say that they are being suspicious (it is however not a traitorous act). The detective overrules this however. If the detective asks you to step into the tester, and you refuse; they may issue a suitable punishment (up to them). This gives the detective far more power and also gives the traitors more of an incentive to kill the detective as quickly as possible. Without the detective, nobody can force you to get tested ^^
Calling someone out as a traitor
You are not allowed to accuse someone of being a traitor unless you have irrevocable proof (eg. you saw them use/equip a traitor weapon or similar).
Random deathmatching (RDM)
Killing someone without solid proof that they are the traitor or not is disallowed. You cannot simply assume and kill someone because of that. Randomly killing people “for fun” is also disallowed and will get you slain or possibly kicked. If the kill is an accident, you may still be killed by other players during the whole ordeal before staff get a chance to look at your case. If we find proof that it was in fact accidental, or if there are witnesses to back this fact up; you may avoid punishment.
Prop Surfing / Pushing / Killing:
At no time shall any player use a prop the the intent to “surf” through the air, pushing players to death, pushing props into players to cause death, or throwing of a prop to intentionally, or unintentionally cause death. Running around with a random prop in hand that can cause injury, like a barrel or box for no other reason but to hold it and throwing props across a room or map shall fall under this category.
You are allowed to shoot at props in order to kill others IF you have proof that they are the traitor or if you are the traitor yourself.
Moving bodies shall not fall under this category as they can not injure someone. Throwing an explosive barrel, unless specified as to remove the barrel from that area (such as on roof tops) shall not be considered in this category, unless the purpose of moving it shall be to injure/kill others.
Moving props to a location without the intent to hit a player with the prop, but with the intent of using it to block an area (see exception for prop blocking in the “Claiming Areas” section), or explode in a certain area (in the case of a traitor) shall be allowed.
Ghosting:
Ghosting in any sense is disallowed. For instance, if you are dead, you cannot tell people who the traitors are in any way. You are ONLY ever allowed to tell who the traitor is if you have definitive proof. If you gang up with a friend and you tell him who the traitors are etc that is also ghosting. Unless you have solid proof, it will be an rdm.
Killing oneself/suiciding on purpose
You are not allowed to kill yourself or suicide on purpose. This is because you in doing so are limiting the experience of other players by skipping your round. So someone elses traitor round gets shorter. Don’t be that guy
Writing/drawing inappropriate things on the walls with the use of weaponry
For instance, hitting the wall with your crowbar or shooting it with your gun to make it say something inappropriate or rude/offensive. Can allso be a drawing (genitals and such). Use common sense.
Claiming Areas:
You are allowed to blockade a room to keep people from entering, but you may not block people from leaving or kill people who try to come through for the simple reason that they tried to get in even if you told them not to.
General rules
No cheating or hacking of any kind (such as using tools or macros)
If you are suspected of using such tools, you can count on there being a full investigation into the matter. If found guilty, you can expect to be permanently banned across all of our servers. We believe in a fair experience for everyone, so don’t ruin it.
Examples:
Names or avatars deemed to be offensive by the server admins shall not be allowed on the servers. If a name is deemed offensive, the player will be asked to immediately change their name/avatar or they will be kicked from the server. If they return without having changed their name/avatar, a 24 hour ban will be issued.
English:
The Official language of all the servers and forums is English. At all times, English should be spoken on the servers. IF you can not speak English, then not only are you not reading these rules, BUT you will be told in English to only speak English. IF you continue speaking in any other language, you will be kicked from the server. This is to ensure that all players can understand each other. This may seem unfair to some, BUT this is the decision of the community who has many members and is led by a person who speaks English as a second language.
Language:
At no time will excessive foul language be allowed on the servers or forums. This includes, but is not limited to any hateful, derogatory, racial, sexist or otherwise offensive comments. The occasional swear is acceptable, but at no time should any hateful or offensive comments as described above be allowed on the GMs digital property.
Spamming:
Spamming of text shall not be allowed which includes the same text or varying text, entered at a fast rate as to take up the entire chat box with a single users messages. Legitimate messages involving the game shall not be considered spam unless it is done very fast and is deemed to be done with the sole intent as to annoy others.
Mic Spam:
At no time shall mic spamming be allowed on the servers. This is defined as any voice chat that is deemed excessive such as “jarbled” mics that also have feed-back and excessive echo, playing music over the mic, holding onto the talk key while saying things that are considered “random” such as general BS and random noises.
Votekicking:
You may use votekick to kick troublesome players, but you may not abuse it to get the servers to yourselves or to kick someone you just don’t like. Unless said person is breaking the rules, a votekick should not be made. Abusing this function will result in severe punishment.
Racist / Religious / Sexist Slurs –
This shall result in an immediate ban for 3 months, no warning, no slaying gag/mute or kick. Ban becomes the very first and ONLY step.
These can offend more people than anything else and can easily kill a server if left unchecked. If they want to be let back on the servers, they will need to request an appeal. However, this will include a minimum of a 1 month ban on the servers, and will be voted on by senior admins if the ban should be lifted early. Views like these often times stay with a person for life, so the chances of them changing their ways in this regard are slim. Given that and the extreme damage this can do to a server, it justifies the ban. It is very rare that anything should justify this, but this is one of those things.
Listen to the admins
If an administrator asks you to stop doing something, stop doing it. You are most likely bothering either them or someone else.
General Disrespect to Admin
Disrespect against an admin shall not be tolerated. This includes anything from vulgar language, to generally talking back to an admin in a negative way that is deemed to not be helpful to any given situation. This shall include “abuse calling” when it is unjust or repeated over and over. If there is an issue with an admin, please use the following form to submit a report. This will ONLY be seen by senior admins. https://gmservers.co.uk/index.php?action=form;n=4
Disrespect to players
We see this all the time with people calling each other names, making fun of squeeky voices, and this shall not be tolerated. If you can not respect other players, then you have no place on our servers. A little trash talking occasionally to the other team is fine and just a natural part of gaming but targeting a single person because you think you are better than them will be a quick way to be booted from the server. Follow the basic rule…. if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all.
Sexual Harassment:
At no time will sexual harassment be allowed on the servers. If you are found to do this, you may be muted/gagged or kicked from the server. If you continue, like most other rules you may be banned from the server for a time.

Things you can’t call someone suspicious for (or say that you think they are the traitor because of it). If you call someone out for this, it will not be valid. If someone does this to you, merely refer to these guidelines.
- Running around and looking at you (keeping you in their sights)
- Standing still and looking around
- Aiming in your direction from more than a few metres away (aiming at your head though for a few seconds is a traitorous act). If someone however comes up close to you and aims at you, that is a reason to suspect them.
- Simply walking past you
- Not responding to you when you can see them
