Staff's definition of Teaming in Murder.

[Emviar]

Hey there!
I just had a quick question pertaining to the topic of teaming in Murder.

There are multiple views of teaming. Some believe teaming is sparing bystanders for no reason at all, while others believe teaming is more pronounced, such as clearly working together (i.e. the murderer's teammate has a gun and shoots any bystanders that have guns - specifically so that they cannot shoot the murderer and win the round, then proceeding to a deathmatch when they are the only ones left).

Because there are multiple views on what is considered teaming, I wish to know what the server staff's view of teaming is. You can reply to this thread if you're not a staff member, but as the server is run by the staff, I prefer their responses because they are most likely more accurate.

Thank you in advance for your time, and I eagerly wait any responses.​

I rather call the first mentioned form of teaming "Delayed Killing", but yet it's considered as teaming.
The second method is just hardcore teaming. Besides the fact that teaming isn't allowed, the bystander purposely kills fellow bystanders, which of course isn't allowed either.

Any form of teaming is a punishable offense, no matter how. Yet I'm not sure if spawning next to a friend while being the murderer and sparing them because you simply think that spawn-killing is quite unfair, is an offense too, since you are trying to keep the match fair and enjoyable.

My definition of teaming is when a bystander and a murderer are clearly working together to spare each other, often prolonging the game. This can be in lots of different forms but I don't want to complicate my definition unnecessarily

"...but yet it's considered as teaming." Considered teaming by whom? Sometimes, choosing to spare a certain player can be strategic; for example, in many cases when a player is accused, another player defends them by saying: "No, this player is not the murderer. I was alone in a room with them and they did not kill me." Thus, sparing players can be strategic; sparing a player when they do not know you are the murderer can sometimes earn their trust. Therefore, when the only sign of teaming is sparing, it is a bit difficult to distinguish it.

Thank you, Awesomelandd, for your answer. I would consider a bystander deliberately shooting players with guns to be a sign of teaming.

Teaming to me is generally noticeable when they're working together or clearly not killing each other. Examples of this would be a bystander with a gun shooting many innocents but not being killed by the murderer and not shooting the murderer even if s/he is right there, as they are sparing each other and working together to kill innocents.

Teaming is when a bystander and the murderer act like a team in order to make sure the murderer wins and they gain more points towards ranking up. So its not very fair and that is why its not allowed, deciding not to shoot someone or stab someone in a game is not teaming unless its obvious they are avoiding killing a specific person. I mean the game is simple as a bystander find and kill the murderer and as the murderer kill everyone.

So you're saying that this scenario would be teaming or not teaming: If two players, the murderer and bystander, don't kill each other but the bystander doesn't shoot anyone until they're the last two players left. Then, the bystander doesn't "make sure the murderer wins," because they and the murderer face off in the end. Would that be considered teaming?

Sorry; I really just want to make sure I fully understand this.

With everything you have said an assuming nothing else has happened in the game and there are no other things to add then that scenario would just be a normal game of murder

Alright. Thank you so much for clarifying this!
