Spawn Mines - Brady - 02-24-2014
Just a few questions. Are they against the rules, or are they just frowned upon? Does the mine have to be a certain amount of blocks away from the spawn you count as a spawn mine? Can you get banned for it?

It's only a spawn mine if they don't have a chance to defuse it before they die.

I had an earlier idea that opponents arent able to place blocks directly where spawn was, and/or several blocks around. That would help prevent spawnkilling all in all. But flag carriers can't go in the safety zone.

Thanks for clarifying that.

I feel that the radius of protection should be about 3-4 blocks? Because if it's too large the gameplay in maps like Sector9 and Caverns, where running through the enemy spawn or back through your spawn is sometimes necessary, would change quite significantly... And since mines (which have a 3x3x3 explosion radius) activate about 1-2 blocks away (depending on lag) having a circular "spawn-shield" with a diameter of 6-8 blocks would allow players to see the mines and react to them.
Fun Fact:
Mines - 3x3x3
TNT - 5x5x5
/gr - 5x5x5
/cr - 9x9x9

I thought Cr was 8x8x8
