Over time the players that made the game fun kinda dwindled off and they were replaced by asshole cts who wanted to win over actually having fun with other gamers. Pb is the most fun that Ive had with sg and nothing can replace it. TTT is fun but its nothing compared to pb, there is almost no structure and the only fun part is being a traitor.
Pb is only as good as the people who play it. A rule should have been implemented that made the cts change the ts location at least twice a round. Without such a rule you leave it completely up to the player how much of a dick he or she feels like being. Theres nothing to stop them from ordering the ts into the big cage, and then leave them there for 5 min. Over time the better cts who knew how to make the game fun/fair for everyone kinda dwindled off.
All that being said, dont take pb! It may need a little tweaking but its still got a chance. I think that jens rules left no wiggle room for the ts. I was pretty happy with her changes, but I think its semi clear that some shitty ts felt they had nothing to work with.
Honestly I think no warning shots at all may have been a little severe. The biggest problem I had in the past was ppl bitching about every warning shot I gave them, and then asking for a reason why they were shot. The rule I would have put in place of no warning shots at all would read something like "If you get a warning shot, comply with orders given asap, QQ or ask for a reason and you will be executed" The major problem was QQ about warning shots, not the warning shots themselves. I know I know, anti QQ law? wtf bills a retard! Well maybe we just have them postpone the QQ until they have complied with orders, that may be a little more sane.
And if at all possible, bring back jihad mod? I hated it with a passion, but it really seemed to draw ppl in, not sure why, but fools loved that shit. sorry for wall o text, have fun not reading it =)
