If I have !fo why should I not be able to send a T somewhere different from the rest or have them do something else? Waiting 10 seconds after taking !fo is pointless, and BTW I was here when !fo was added.
Special orders are currently banned under !fo, so CTs are unable to give them till !fo expires. An info message isn't needed, Ts are responsible for hearing orders as given. Quality of life statement makes no sense, it's a rp server not real life and special orders were allowed for years.
Congratulations, you were instrumental in removing a tool CTs used to win. No wonder why CTs struggle more now than ever before. I was a regular player for 2 years in which special orders were used with little to no issue. If it got to the point where a T or group was targeted over and over it was addressed by admins or via a player complaint. It's not coming back only for fun, it needs to come back to give CTs the option to single those out that need the attention to get the upper hand when needed.
!fo was added so orders aren't conflicted in the beginning of the round, the whole point of !fo is so an order can't be revoked till !fo expires. If CTs sent the same person to iso every round an admin would've addressed it in game or it could've been dealt with via player complaint. There absolutely is a need to allow this again and I've explained it above and in the OP. How would me telling @Abomination to go to iso in the beginning of the round add to the confusion? Everyone is muted and I control !fo, I'm the only one speaking and giving orders till it expires with the exception of admins.
If people are abusing it, they'd be warned, switched to T, or CT banned/server banned by an admin, or resolved through a player complaint. Contrary to popular belief once upon a time you were able to give freedays at round start and IMO you should still be able to, but that's for a future rule discussion.
You're 100% correct ZZL, what is your opinion on allowing special orders in !fo?
Again, all the servers have admins for a reason and if none are available player complaints are a thing.
Why weren't the ones who abused it punished? Or if they were why restrict it in the first place? There were already rules on the books in regard to repetitive orders and unreasonable orders. If certain people are targeted over and over again it's addressed by admins at the time or via a player complaint! If I can give special orders after !fo your logic makes zero sense, because guess what I or any CT can target them after !fo!
I feel like out of everyone who has commented on this post ZZL understands the most. However, in regard to JB getting louder, how is me giving a special order with !fo while everyone but admins are muted going to make the server any louder?
How does a CT giving a special order while all Ts are muted confuse you? I played JB for days before !fo was ever a thing and special orders were allowed and it was rarely ever an issue.
You're missing the point, if CTs can give special orders outside of !fo why shouldn't they be able to give them when they have !fo and their CT buddies and all Ts are muted?
As a player with 20+ days on CT in my opinion having the option available to change the pace of the round with a !fo special order is a big deal.
