New strict per-map rules in place

#1: Report your losses, or you'll drop down the ladder.

I'm going to set a number of map related rules here. Where applicable, each ruling will need a screenshot with TAB depressed so I can see it is actually in the match. I'm bound to forget some exploits in this post, so I'll start a 2nd thread for your suggestions. I'll decide if it's an exploit or not.

Antarctica: No going outside the map boundaries to either side of the warehouse. If the item disappears, play on and prevent them from winning. You can agree in match communications on something for the item disappearing, but I don't see any good way to enforce this.

Argentina: Not in the game at this time.

Chechnya: Scaling up to the ladder before AA is blown is now illegal. Do not use r_restart, this will make Gradeno unhealable and unable to be seen on recon.

Colombia: Do not use r_restart, this will make Jesus unhealable and unable to be seen on recon.

Lima: No pushing the hostages back into the crevice behind the wall that is behind the pool. No getting on top of the hedges. Civ damage set to 0% so you can't kill hostages.

Mexico: No new rules.

***NAfrica: The bunny hop is illegal.
*** TIE ON NAFRICA RESULTS IN A VIP TEAM LOSS

Quebec: Civ damage needs to be 0% so Goran cannot be killed. Do not use r_restart, or you won't see Goran on recon or be able to heal him. Goran must be moved out past the buildings of either spawn point. For example, if TDL keeps Goran at their spawn without moving him, that is lame and the spawn point will kill the other team. Please do not resort to this lame tactic.

SChinaSea: No new rules.

Sri-Lanka: Do not climb on top of the roof or the hillside after going across the wall.

Tunnel: Do not camp out with the VIP, it is not fun.
A tie on Tunnel is now a loss for the VIP's team.

Uganda: Civ damage set to 0% so you can't kill hostages.

USA: No new rules.


GENERALLY: Do not go anywhere on the map where you know you cannot be hit due to textures or whatever.

*NEW RULE: Do not use r_restart at all. This may be the cause for a number of issues.

Uganda, Quebec and Lima have been added to the map rotation. I cannot believe they weren't in it to begin with. CIV damage MUST be 0% for these 3 maps. Please make sure if these maps are in your match, that your CIV damage is set to 0%. Also, make sure you remove the CIV damage being 0% for Colombia and any other map where you have to kill a VIP. Just to recap a Lima specific rule: Do not get up on the hedges or push the hostages back behind the wall that is behind the pool. By behind the wall I mean anywhere beyond an imaginary line between the outerwall and the hedge wall.

If people are having issues getting disconnect and such when doing a map restart, you can agree to do a r_restart as long as it isn't a map that has NPC's on it, or you could agree to do it on those as well, but realize you won't see the NPC on recon or be able to heal him. I'd recommend this only as a last resort.

GENERAL RULE: Do not use lame tactics on maps. Basically just play the way the game is meant to be played, and don't look for loopholes for easy wins or ties. I mean come on people, we're here to have fun, not attempt to frustrate the hell out of each other. The whole community seems to be behind this idea, so why don't we just all play the correct way? Thanks.
