zm_penumbra_PF3 | Body Blocking

The spot behind the door should be illegal because if you put 2 humans that stand behind the door, the door can't open.

So what if the door can't open. Is that considered glitching? I personally don't think so. If you had vending machines in there, and you put one next to the other face down. The door still wouldn't open. The 2 human behind a door technique is used on many maps. Eg. 4waytunnel.

Ask Dillinger about his version as we tested it.

LOL i can hold the door alone been there many times... somebody should just fix it so the door opens both sides....thats all

You don't need that !!!
A good zombie player would know how to get at least one of them

This.

I have updated the topic to reflect the correct name of the map. Additionally this subject should really pertain to gaming policy and not a specific illegal location.

So the original question remains; Should body blocking with two humans stacking next to each other to block a door be allowed?

I am in agreement with Momoiya that body blocking should not be allowed as it makes it impossible for zombies to enter.

What are your thoughts?

The door to that room, can only open one way. If they can be reversed, that would be different. I was playing to try out the door, to see if it can be reversed, and they can't. Also, there is only one entry point which is the doorway.

I say, we should have a policy on this, about blocking or choking a single entry point room. I mean, the bullets can penetrate the door, and the zombies can't get to the ppl in there.

But, I fear a policy like this may confuse a lot of new admins, on the enforcement. As they may apply that policy on every body blocking rooms, with multiple entry points, or rooms with single entry that could be caded to block the door.

Easy fix, if it is possible to edit the map so that door can be reveresed, and not go through with adding a new policy that may confuse people.

I would also agree with Momoiya and Harvey that body blocking should NOT be allowed. However, since there are only 2 maps: 4 way tunnel and penumbra it may be easy to ask a mapper to modify those spots. For example, make another non-crouch entry to the spot. I personally never seen humans die on 4 way tunnel in that room since the window is a crouch entry only.
Making that window bigger (non-crouch entry) will make that spot accessible.

A consensus has been reached by the pF leadership team that Body Blocking Doors is now officially considered glitching.

Body Blocking Doors is defined as when: Two people are standing side-by-side in front of a door preventing its' opening.

Effective Immediately rule #4 (Do not glitch inside walls, soda machines, rocks, or any props while you're a human) will now encompass the punishment procedures for this infraction.
