Mark and Bill got this draft together to get away from hackers, and WOGL-like rules so, people could come and have fun playing ghost mode. We have had no problems until the rules have been changed and growlers have been asked for.
All of the changes have been carefully considered and discussed by the Ghost Mode staff. Trust us, we know what we are doing.
For Banning/ weapon usage abuse, consult [Head GM Staff]Bill, [GM Staff]Mark, or any of the Staff running that weeks draft.

The problem with this is that is it hard for us to detect whether or not people can use it. It does help but it's not like armor. Just to keep it a little bit more fun, the Ghost Mode Staff has decided to add those items. Thank you very much for your input. I have already talked to the GM about this and they are debating on it. Take care.

Well, in my opinion, if Breath Down and Step Down classified are under the same advantage as armour, which is where I think I and perhaps a few other GM players would put it, then do you not think that taking the same measures to prevent the usage of armour would be effective? If someone is thought to have been using armour then you say to have that person post a screenshot of their screen, same thing with the Downs. If someone is thought to be using them when you have decided to not have them implemented in the tournament one should simply have them post a screenshot of their screen. I'm not 100% but I do believe that there is a small icon on the screen indicating the presence of these advantageous items.
On the other hand, if you were to classify them (B&S Downs) as a lesser advantage than armour then maybe the idea of limiting a player to using only one of them could be a small compromise, as, again, in my experience, a ghost with both of these advantages is really quite an omnipotent being.
I am simply giving my two cents and respect all decisions made by sG staff, I just hope you will consider what I have said.
PS: I like what you've done with the place.

Thank you for your input. We always are looking for these type of suggestions to help build our knowledge on what the communities wants and needs. -
Edit: This is @ everyone saying remove axe and Bdown.
If you remove bdown and axe then GR can only use m16/m700.
If you will allow ZP guns, you have to allow ZP melee weapons (Axe). If you remove GP ghost items like Bdown, then remove GP guns.
Simple logic. -

I'm sorry but I may be overestimating the skill level of those wishing to enter the tournament/contest. In my opinion BL didn't need the boosts to win, a shovel or axe makes it easy enough. However, if you manage to get people that are honestly good at this game in here, them being able to use all that is at their disposal will simply allow them to wreck their way through the whole thing.
I'm not implying the installment of a handicap or anything, that's ridiculous. I'm simply saying I may have overestimated how much people may rely on those advantageous items to win.
I recognize that the rules have been opened up a little to allow people to use what they have bought and payed, but I think that that allowance is being abused with the addition of those items. If I do recall directly, someone who had B-Down or S-Down was almost as bad as a Skiller Lite user when it came out, but feel free to call me out on that.
Remember, this is my two cents and by no means a professionals point of view. -
Pretty much he wants the items that killed GM in the first place.
If you played GM before all these boost items came (good old GM days) you'd know its not that hard with a knife it just takes practice.
Bingo, if you can b-hop you will be just fine, all you need to be able to do after that is aim. -

Yeah, it's so easy with players having good enough headphones/sound cards to hear perfect bhoppers without bdown.
bdown and axe made GM even.
use a knife vs panthers, invisble or ccav, and get stomped. -

Just because it takes skill to win with knife on BL, doesn't mean it's impossible to beat panthers. -
the things with gm draft, is it easely become gr sided. specialy if the map is also gr sided. i like the fact breath down is alowed, its hated beyond compreonsion but if you want to remove it, you might as well remove the silenced weapons. with breathdown and some bhoping skill, you can kill some1 before he can even hear you, but theirs plenty of things the gr side can do to stop that. if you use strategies, you can easely kill a bhoper without even hearing him.

Bill and I(the writers of these rules) decided to allow bdown and footsteps down due to the fact that there is no anticheat system at the moment. Also, we won't be using growlers. In our opinion growlers are annoying, laggy, and a waste of time. We also are going to have a system in place in which the two opposing team captains may temporarily agree to change a rule for their game, but if no agreement is come to, the default rule template will be used.
Axe Issue: with the community that comes to this event, it is our opinion that axes with bdown are fair. If this leads to a long issue, then they will be altered. (read the first sentence of the topic?) It is just too hard to kill pro Pinpointers without an axe and/or Bdown. If a knife and no Bdown is used, then the GR can hear you from a mile away, and if you even get close enough to melée them, it is a rare occurrence to get the real quick headshot.
Please leave more comments, thank you. -
Thats what i'm saying. Theyre trying to suggest ghosts play stock (knife and no sound down) while GR gets all the amenities of ZP buying.Occasionally, fun games of nothing but default would be interesting too.
BL: just knife, no down anything
GR: M16, M700, knife
You get the idea
Explain how that's fair...
You won't get a kill with a knife and no bdown. Period.Yeah, it's so easy with players having good enough headphones/sound cards to hear perfect bhoppers without bdown.

Lol killed GM in the first place? Hardly. Ive played this game since april of '09, I remember "the good old days". GM wasn't competitive, period. GR camped spawn and waited for BL to come running. Every game you joined, GR was roflstomping. Come on, a pair of $10 ipod headphones is good enough to make you a gr pro. idk if you played gm when this game was new, but if you did, you would know bdown and axe evened the teams out.Pretty much he wants the items that killed GM in the first place.

Point is, without bdown, GR is easy. Axe is a little over the top. But honestly. When you can hear ghosts bunnyhopping at you when they're still 50 feet away... You're not going to die... Unless your aim sucks. -
As an original ghost mode player...I will not attend. I played with a knife as a Panther, and didn't play with any noise items when they were added to the game when I was a Panther. What's listed here is what I'll find in pubs if I ever so venture back into that mode.
And someone PLEASE muzzle this child H3adMunzta! Players were dropping bombs as BL before the items came about. If your top tier in this mode, you'll drop big numbers without the items as ppl do with them. Esp. with the state of bhopping. The rate of spd while hopping with the knife will get you across the map and pick up frags in plenty of time, and evade all in one swipe. And on topic of 'sided': GM is a GR sided mode. Using specialty items only makes the bads look good, and the greats OP. Allow the greats to BE GREAT, and the bads embarrass themselves....I've got MONEY that says you all of a sudden had an ounce of talent when they opened the spacing in b-hopping. Quit hiding behind you noise down you donkey!
