Remove this stupidity? 9 members have voted

There are no reasons the suicide penalty is here. It drains your points for no reason. If you really wanted to suicide you would run into the zombies, go to spectator, or switch teams. Its only use is to take points when you die from a boss or a map prop, which is annoying in things such as Sky Athletic or maps with lots of lasers, which also drain points. Either fix or remove it, please.

Be good and don't lose points.

ok

In all seriousness though, I think it's fine the way it is. I don't think it's wrong to have some element that makes you lose points because otherwise once you reach the maximum amount of points there's nothing left to work towards to.

 

Points are more easy to gain than losing them tbh. You get 3 points every minute for playing, as well as 3 points for dealing 4000 damage to zombies which is more likely to happen than you being killed by the 'world'.

I can see why you would want to, especially dying to 1 hit bosses and lasers. As ^ paralyzed said, Points are really easy to gain back so i don't see why we should remove it

Pretty much what @Paralyzed said, I'm not in favor of removing the point reduction from suicide. The best way to get points besides winning maps is to play a lot and shoot and defend against zombies. You get 3 points every 2 minutes for playing as a human and zombie and you get 2-3 points for every 4000 damage done to zombies. Just keep in mind that there is a reason this rank system is called SKILLbot, rewarding players who learn, better themselves, and help their team to get more points. Also a lot of the features like perks and play time points were not in the previous versions of the plugin until I asked @AntiTeal for them to be implemented.

 

I was however thinking about changing the play time back to the default of 5 points every 2 minutes but for now I think it's fine atm.
