Answered Lethal Taunts as a Freeday

[Deleted member 2049]

So this person called "unknown" always lethal taunts as a freeday looking at blus in an attempt to kill them. Unfortunately no one can kill him because freedays cant be killed even if it was freeday abuse. So the question is, can freedays lethal taunt and would it count as freeday abuse?

It's a direct RED team rule that Lethal taunting is KoS. I would say it's freeday abuse.

my opinion is that sure lethal taunts are KOS but if a blue stands still long enough to die to one then it's really only their fault and a freeday would lose their freeday then anyway, but perhaps if we are keeping in line with the full rules that a freeday could lose their freeday if they lethal taunt, but that would seem unfair as it can also be done accidentally by pressing g twice or right clicking accidentally, so it's dificult. i'd personally say for that rule a freeday could count as a blue in the terms of lethal taunting as at the moment it's not against the rules for guards to lethal taunt as long as they dont free kill, and as long as a blue doesnt get in the way of the taunt then they dont die but the freeday would lose freeday anyway so i dont really see it as abuse

This actually raises another question about lethal taunts that I figure I'll just mention here.

The other day I had a rather cheekie engineer walking in front of closed cell doors looking in for an excessively long amount of time. I lethal taunted him through the door and once doors were opened I was killed. I'm curious about a couple things here:

1) Is intentionally getting close to prisoners cell doors considered baiting?
2) Can you kill baiters with lethal taunts without getting yourself killed?

1.if the cell doors are closed no. though i'm unsure how you managed to kill him through a door though it depends on the map
2.good luck with that but seeing as killing a baiter normally is allowed i see no reason why killing one with a lethal taunt should make you KOS either

What sucks is if it was freeday abuse then no one could kill him

i think as long as it's not affecting the round ie pressing buttons then it's alright, lethal taunts if they pull it off they lose the freeday anyway so it's kinda alright because a freeday can already kill guards if they feel like it anyway obviously losing the freeday if they do so
