Spawn killing players is not allowed, spawn killing their pets is.
This does not compute!
They BOTH fit directly under Rule 9.
Rule 9.
Reducing game-playing experience of others!
↑↑ I do not even have to go past the title of the rule to see why I believe this is true.
Killing a person's, $$ or Shop, pets on purpose IS reducing their game-playing experience!
- yes, yes, I know proof it was intentional is needed and I would accept that in a flash rather than a flat statement: Pets are the owners responsibility.
Scenario: You have a "comfortable" spawn going, just as you are surrounded a guy drags a huge spawn over. You can't run, you are surrounded, no way out and being attacked, you can't log instantly; the spawn plus the others being dragged over will kill you and/or your pets in the 11 second pause it takes to log since you are currently under attack.
IMHO: This is a case of these people taking advantage of the 11 second log off time to kill you and/or your pets. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Reading Rule 9 I see:
{snip} This includes spawn-killing {snip}
It does not say players only! It simply states: spawn-killing.
Therefore I say again: I would support revisiting of this rule 100%
BUT it looks like Herrero could possibly fall under Rule 9b:
Rule 9 b.
Harassment
Do not report this rule lightly! False reports of this rule may be punished as well.
{snip}, excessive hunting of the player, excessive threats of the player, extortion, blackmail, excessive messaging a player, excessive taunting of a player, and mainly excessive breakage of rule 9.{snip}
- with due investigation of course.
Gut feeling: Herrero has been told about this and will be laying low!
He hasn't been on, as far as I've seen. And promptly vanished from both maps when I returned to gather /info
So, yes. I believe they are lying low, as you say.
As for the rules, I'd say what he has been doing is almost certainly within the remit of 9b.
