Term definitions

LR/Last request

A last request (usually abbriviated to LR) is usually given to the last surviving non-rebelling red/prisoner of the round (with some exceptions). They may then place a request for certain things to happen next round, such as giving people freedays, playing a specific minigame, or requesting a specific day. For a full list of LRs, click here.

Freeday

A freeday is a prisoner that has been excluded from the day's activities, meaning they're free to roam around and ineligible for LR. Rules in the red team section of the rules still apply to freedays, and if they break any of the rules, they lose their freeday and become KOS.

KOS

Abbreviation of 'Kill on Sight'. Prisoners gain this status by breaking any of the Rules in the 'Red' section, attacking a non-baiting member of the blue team, or being defeated in a minigame where the warden specifies that the losers are KOS. A prisoner who is KOS shall be killed by members of the blue team once they have the opportunity, and can not receive LR.

AFK freeze

No moving, no usage of mouse, and no taunting. Healing with a medigun counts as being AFK frozen.
Examples of not being AFK frozen: Moving the mouse around the area (Freelooking), Moving around in general, Crouching, Jumping, Taunting, randomly swinging your weapon or launching projectiles.

Note: the terms "afk" or "afm" aren't used here and if said are equivalent to saying "AFK freeze".

Free looking

Free looking is to use your mouse to look around. When the warden restricts free looking, you mustn't look around.

AFK taunts

AFK taunts are looping taunts that keep you in one place.

Taunt freeze

The same as AFK Freeze but you can use looping taunts that keep you in one place.

Bombrush/Bumrush

Run as fast as possible.

Minigames

First reaction/last reaction

This minigame may only be played when there are less than 90 seconds remaining in the round or before map change (this also applies to "Do X for LR" orders). The warden will announce they are starting the game then will give actions for the reds to perform prefaced with "First/Last Reaction". If the warden says "First Reaction", the first red to perform the action is KOS. If the warden says "Last Reaction", the last red to perform the action is KOS.

Meat grinder/arena

Red players fight against one another within an area specified by the warden or the map's predetermined location. May not be played as the first minigame in a round, rather used as a decider when there are fewer prisoners left after another minigame. All reds must be at full health prior to starting this minigame.

Cell wars

Warden has to announce beforehand that he will be doing Cell Wars. Friendly fire is turned on and prisoners have to kill all their cellmates. This is only allowed if you have 4 or less players on the blue team in total.

Hunger games

All prisoners must kill each other to earn the "Last Request". This minigame has to be announced at the start of the round and cannot be played two rounds in a row. Guards must remain in the armory for at least 2 minutes before warden can allow them to spectate. Exceptions can be made if a prisoner kills another with ammo or the prison exit is activated.

Hide and seek

All prisoners must hide. Blues must stay in the armoury until a time specified by the Warden. The last prisoner alive wins the "Last Request". The minigame must be announced at the start of the round. Blues are allowed to break two sided breakables when searching for reds (ie vents or hidden rooms that can be teleported into and then broken out of); This does NOT include ammo or other secrets that can only be entered and exited through the same breakable. If the game is selected from the last request menu and cells do not open on round start for whatever reason, guards must wait at least an additional minute after cell doors are opened manually. Reds may still be shot from the armory if they are seen rebelling (ie breaking into armory or another breakable) but NOT when they are simply leaving cell area on round start. The warden may end hide and seek early on a non-lr day to speed up the granting of a last request if time is running out.

Theatre

This minigame cannot be played if there are more than 8 REDs alive or if the Warden is the only living BLU.
The REDs will be called to the stage one-by-one and asked whether they want to give a Joke, have their hat rated, have their spray rated, or have their taunt rated. The Guards must vote in team chat once the player has chosen and performed the action they chose. The Warden cannot choose alone who lives or dies, and a vote of 50% counts as a Pass/Live for the RED player. All REDs must participate in this minigame before an LR can be given. If a Warden gives an LR to a RED that has not participated in the minigame, they are favoring and can be reported.

Kitchen/diner

This minigame cannot be played if there are more than 8 REDs alive or if the Warden is the only living BLU.
The reds will be given the chance to offer the Warden a meal. The Blues will then vote on whether it is a delicious meal or not. The Warden can not decide alone. If a Warden gives an LR to a RED that has not participated in the minigame, they are favoring and can be reported.

Jeopardy

This minigame may only be played if the amount of prisoners is equal to or less than the amount of podiums on the current map. Warden must define his rules for the game otherwise the default definition below is used.
Reds must be behind their own player podium in Jeopardy at the start. Afterwards warden must type a question in chat. The first red to hit their podium button is given the opportunity to answer the question. If the red answers the warden's question correctly, they may choose another non rebelling red to be killed. If the red answers incorrectly they become KOS and may be killed. All questions asked must be TF2 related (gameplay or lore are both allowed) or simple math (anything up to algebra, basic exponents, square roots of small numbers, etc). This definition does not apply to mass trivia which is defined below.

Mass trivia

Mass trivia functions similar to Jeopardy but is used when there are more reds than podiums on a map.
To play mass trivia warden must line the reds up in an area where they can all be visible individually at once. Afterwards warden will type a question in chat. The first red to answer the question correctly in chat may choose a non rebelling red to be killed. There are no penalties for answering incorrectly. Like Jeopardy, questions are limited to being TF2 related or simple math. Warden may order reds to remain AFK frozen during the game if they want (which means if you answer correctly you type who you want killed, you don't run over and melee them).

Simon says

Upon announcing the game, the warden is now Simon and orders given shall only be followed if they are prefaced with 'Simon Says', otherwise they can be ignored. Announcing the game's end is done as the warden, and does not have to be prefaced with 'Simon says' either.
