Is it ever not traitorous to kill a detective? Say, if he starts RDMing you and you shoot him.	SorIe Offline Marvelous Boarder Posts: 10846 Thanks received: 4309 Karma: 400

There's been a lot of cases where the Detectives start RDMing and users fight back in self defence. It's a bizarre rule that no one - other than traitors - should kill Detectives especially if that Detectives starts RDMing	CrankyBot Offline Legendary Member Second Grade Soundboard Posts: 3930 Thanks received: 1173 Karma: 44

Alright, I might suggest a clarification to the rule to mention Detectives tomorrow.

This is wrong.

Rule 2.4 does not state any kind of exception for a detective. If any user kills anyone else and IDs the body, they must be questioned as to why they did it, or killing them would be RDM. This includes cases of getting DNA.

2.4 Player Versus Player
If two individuals are fighting and you have no proof of which could be the traitor, you must wait before joining in the fight until one player dies and they either; identifies the body/round ends/question them.

Rule 2.5 of valid KOS reasons also does not contain anything which states that it is KOSable for killing a detective. As long as there is a valid reason for it, then you can kill a Detective.
