This post triggered this idea:

But I do believe that thoughts on how to capture the flag undetected is just as important, and back in the day thecountispurple was more focused on that than tnt, although he soon switched over.
The only real current flag capturer people are hammerman9, whose tunnels are undetectable, and killerninja, who knows almost every single route to the flag. Almost everyone else relies on traditional ways to get the flag, ex. blowing through the enemy team and hoping pure tnt skill gets you there.
In my personal opinion, the use of lines is simply too obvious to the enemy team, and for an enemy team with a dedicated defender, it is very easily counterable. I find that the best ways to capture the flag by avoiding people is the hammerman way: making tunnels in unconventional places or using unconventional routes to the flag. And always checking for mines.
I, like most other people may want in the future, agree on one single idea: Some of us don't actually want to be killed, and just capture flags. Me, for instance, only want to capture the flags, and use tags, but my heart gets ripped over when I get TNT'd. Which is not a problem for me if some people want to use TNT, I just don't. (I am a pacifist, that's why. But that does not mean I will not have some fun, tho).
The idea was for a rank, that mainly disables the use of TNT, but may allow mines, and store. In lieu of it, the player can get either or all: more speed, the ability to walk without getting hurt by TNT (just like in duels) but still being able to be tagged and maybe mined, or even the use of hacks or some other advantage.
Just losing the use of TNT and the other defense tools, but without any other extra advantage will create a big disadvantage, but, atleast in my case I don't want to, or limit severely the use of TNT.
Name may be capturer or/of pacifist.
By contrast, you may make another rank named warrior which gives you all fighting tools but gives you less speed, or that you should wait minutes, or some time before capturing a flag, or some other limit.
And there is alot between.
The idea for this is that newbies can't even get a chance against most of the people here, and some are real pro's at the game, and will not let anything on or below their radar. This can give us more of a choice and bridge the gap between players, vip and operators, and people who have experience and newbies, instead of just one player class which may not be the best.
Leave this at your consideration.
P.d: Make lines be un-destroyable for atleast 2-5 minutes after they were built, so that the loss of money is not much.
