The Ethical Dilema
#1
In the hypothetical situation that a player should fall into a hole and be unable to or doesn't know how to get out, suicide, disconnect or in any other way stop being stuck in the hole and he/she is unable to communicate with you:
a) put the noob victim out of his or her misery and perform a quick and painless euthanasia
or
b) Leave the misfortunate soul to run around, jump up and down and invariably shoot any passer by teammates

Of course for this situation like most moral dilemas your decision would change depending on circumstances so if you are unable to give a hardline standpoint then that is perfectly understandable so post your opinion anyway.

Please take into account the quality of life you imagine trapped player would have in the situation and even if we are fit to decide the fate of another player when forming your opinion.

I don't play maps with holes so I wouldn't know, nevertheless this sounds like a very complex problem, poor person in the hole D:

Why not votekick them. Doesn't require their input or skills. And no killing them.

If we are talking about the water wells in maps? Then they deserve to have a nade thrown in there if they cant get out.

in any other case, i agree with Cemer.

Great topic!
It would depend on the mood I am. Normally the "euthanasia" (lol), given there are no other options. But IF theres a way out I would try them to mimic my actions to get out.

This used to happen in some old 1.0 tosok map, a greyish one. I didn't know what to do, so i asked people to teamkill me :P

I'd tell them how to suicide. That way I won't lose any points ;P
Well, unless it's the well in ac_desert. In that case, I'd tell them to type /quit to jump out.

Really? Do you think you could live with that on your conscience?

Edit: A more ethical question is whether or not to let this guy know he spelled pneumonia wrong.

Sorry to join the grammar nazi party a little late, but conjugation is what you do to verbs; declension is what you do to nouns, adjectives, etc. :)

Well if you mean holes as in the holes in gema maps - simple, type !reset. Pretty much all servers that play gemas have the !reset cmd, although I can see where servers who only host normal modes would have an issue.

I like tempest's idea about assisted suicide or convincing them they don't exist somehow.

Good looking out on the grammar Jamz.
