Disscusion: Taser

[Lv. 100 Crobat 1325]

I know it is a D weapon to set traps to traitors, but many people use it as a griefing tool, Noah asked to me if abusing taser is bannable, i think the punishment is a warn, i dont really know, put your opinions here.

I feel like if they abuse it, you shoudl punish them. Most of the time, I see admins "abusing" it for fun, but its more for fun

• Tasers are to be used on traitors or suspicious individuals. The taser is meant to buy time to hide or plan an attack. Using the taser to grief other players is against the rules. Using the taser to glitch the map is against the rules.

Directly from the rules Crobat... When I was a SO on TTT I punished them the same as if they RDMED depending on the severity.

Seriously, you can't kill tased players. If I'm next to certain it's you, I'll probably just shoot you. Why on earth would I delay your death by 30 seconds? More than likely his T buddy is gonna try and save him or plant c4 close by and hope for the best.

The taser is funny... that's about the only pro I have for it. The cons outweigh the pros in my opnion and I feel that most people know this. Imho, it should be removed and replaced with a different Det item.

certain maps you can put a tased player somewhere where they would die.

if you are pretty sure someone is a traitor but not confident enough to pull the trigger and there is a tester you can force them to test if you have the timing down right

if the detective is alone and attacked close range they can taser them and gather reinforcements

I feel treating Tazing innocents like its RDM is overrated. As a detective, I've used the Taser to subdue people I highly suspect to be the traitor so I can buy some time to get away from them while not RDMing them at the same time (Some of them turned out to be innocent, others not). I think this should be its intended use, to taze suspicious but not proven traitorous individuals. However, griefing should be a banable offence and treated as RDM's.

certain maps 

So some maps are open to taser abuse exclusively.

 

Many maps dont have testers as well.

But you can't kill the traitor unless you're on that "certain map". Also, there's a good chance it's not a 1v1. You'd be much better off just shotgunning the traitor unless you had some kind of auto kill for tased people. Most times, the traitor knife is gonnna wreck the taser.
