This thread is to simplify this other thread, which was primarily about the custom minigame I made, "Bench Jumping." There's a lot of confusion as to what the main point of what that suggestion was, so I've been told to make a new one for this topic specifically. My post on the matter is what this suggestion is correlated to. Restating it to make things easier:
-----------------------------------------------------
Bench jumping (a custom minigame I originally created) is where you make all reds jump from one bench to another on jb_carcerem. Benches pictured below.
The rules are simple: jump from one bench to the other without touching the ground. If you touch the ground, you're KOS. If you successfully jump from one bench to the other, you survive. Reds go one at a time. The catch of the game is to avoid hitting the branch of the tree next to the benches, which kills your momentum.
Bench jumping has been outlawed ever since one member of the admin team has said it's considered point farming, because the Blus are killing the Reds themselves in a custom minigame, instead of killing them in a minigame or a minigame killing them. Since that admin established the precedent that this custom minigame is point farming, most the rest of the admin team has followed along as I know of. This also essentially means any custom minigame involving any Blus killing Reds is banned, too, since that's essentially the problem being focused on. I don't get the point in enforcing such a restrictive rule. I thought the point of jailbreak was to have fun, experiment with new things, and spice things up to make playing more enjoyable. It doesn't make sense either, since there are so many minigames (ex: Theater) and even basic warden's orders (ex: somebody disobeys "All reds AFK") include the killing of Reds; how is that not considered point farming? If Blus want to pointfarm, they'll find a way to do it, like Simon Says for that matter. There is nowhere in the rules stating this, it's a strictly admin-enforced rule. It wouldn't matter if it were in the rules anyway since 98% of people haven't read them.
-----------------------------------------------------
The main point of this thread is to reallow custom minigames that involve the killing of Reds outside of normal, conventional minigames. As of now, the act of doing a custom minigame involving killing the reds is considered point farming by the admin team (I'm saying this even though there has been some confusion between some of the JB team; just to make things easier).
