So we have trenchers in break-floor its common

... but what is offensive trenching? offensive is when we over do it and hinder players killing with weapons(go crazy destroy all the blocks

... and we have defensive trenching which is used to find opposing team in our side on the map and limited blocks are broken to still enable digging to the other side.

I asked a few members who all had different but close answers well since im new if any1 could make a final decision wether if defensive is allowed or both

please vote and comment on this matter

i like to clear 1 or 2 rows so u can kill the enemies on their side while im on that indestructible bridge thingy (love it! = i would love to be able to do that without breaking any rules)

I personally don't like trenching at all, I think it gives people a massive advantage when they buy a machine gun and plough through three or four rows of boxes. Plus, it encourages camping, if a team is trenching it will make the other team less likely to rush and make them wait it out to see who makes the first move.

Since when have we enforced trenching? o.O

Trench as in shoot so many blocks it makes it impossible to cross between the two spawn points?

Trenching is allowed for both O + D. But to a certain extent, if they was cutting off all ways to cross over to the other side EVERY round then that can get boring and drag on so admins may tell them to stop if needed. But as long as there is always some kind of bottom floor to let you cross that is fine.

Paterson: People buy the machine gun for a reason. 1: they finally got the money to pay for it so therefore wants to use it. 2. Other team has to anticipate the enemys actions, so stop being lazy and hoping they die easy

I'm just sayin that I have been on the server when it's like 3v3 and every single member of their team had a machine gun and shot the first three rows of boxes, then all ran on the ramp and continued to shoot everything, not fun !

But I can live with it

[p.rothwell]

I despise all forms of trenching.

I might have it wrong, but in my opinion, this is a kickable offense. When that sort of trenching happens, I'd give them a warning, do it again would result in an immidiate kick from the server. Judging by the way you capitalized "every", should I allow it to happen more before I kick them?
