This is a prospected rule change that I've been cooking for quite a while and finally decided to pull the trigger on it.
Currently with the current Afk freeze order, "Away from Mouse" is currently applied within the order. Here's how the term stands as it is now.
AFK stands for “away from keyboard.” It’s also implied with this that you AFM “away from mouse” on this server. If a Warden tells you to AFK freeze he wants you to completely freeze.
Taunting is considered AFK as long as the taunt loops without a natural ending.
For this proposed change, I think its time we removed AFM from the AFK freeze terminology.
AFK stands for “away from keyboard.” It’s also implied with this that you AFM “away from mouse” on this server. If a Warden tells you to AFK freeze he wants you to remain still. However you may otherwise look around using your mouse unless told to face a certain direction. Taunting is considered AFK as long as the taunt loops without a natural ending.
I get it.
This is a huge change that would take a lot of adjustment, but I believe in the long run this will help the server and introduce a lot of quality of life for new players as well as players who might accidently bump their mouse during the order.
Why this change?
Currently within the ruleset, it's completely in line with the rules to kill a red for moving their mouse slightly to the left during an afk freeze order. This is simply not within the lines of the Panda JB Philosophy where reds should be killed in minigames and not by wardens orders.
New players will also have a much easier time adjusting, as the afk freeze order is by far the most damaging thing to them when they are just learning the game. I cannot imagine the amount of players we mightve lost because they join a game, hear an order that vaguely makes sense and is then killed for slightly moving their mouse and forced to sit out an entire ten minute round.
How can i control the prisoners from now on as blue?
With this rule change, you will not be able to completely restrict somebody from using their mouse. However you may implement an order where you can tell reds to face a certain direction (Towards cells, a certain minigame, armory ect.) This will restrict their eyeline in a certain direction, but will give them a little leeway that as long as they are facing the general direction, they can move their mouse.
Feel free to leave behind your feedback and perhaps some ideas on how to clarify/change this suggestion to fit the servers needs. I look forward to hearing your feedback.
