CIVILIANS

Hey guys,

As me and pewpewpewstocky found yesterday, we were VERY unsure of all the time penalties with civilians... we found ourselves running underneath APC's and into the fire of a TOW rocket and getting killed for helping the insurgency when we had been almost certain that our bodies would be sacrificed and we'd die a martyr in aid of getting rid of the infidels. SO, please do share your knowledge:)

Cheers, Stormy

Don't know the required time to wait, but I believe it's 1 or 2 minutes on spawn. Another 1 or 2 minutes after you've grabbed a med kit or epipen (not sure about resuscitating). Again 1 or 2 minutes after being in a vehicle. Patches are allowed to be used if I'm correct. + Don't get killed with shotguns. Not sure about getting run over by vehicles (I think it's "forbidden".. Should not be allowed to get ran over anyways on purpose). You are allowed to use hooks, cell phone etc.

-edit
Also I believe a bleed-out also counts as a "forbidden" kill. Not sure what happens if 2 minutes passed whilst bleeding out, or what happens when you bleed out and do something that is "helping the insurgeny".

EDIT: Totally misread that post... xD
kerrer is right:
1 min after Dropkit, Out of vehicle, Epipen, Spawn. - That's all.
Alot of people still think the med bag is a valid reason for shooting civs but it's not. That's why I always have it up when an APC is looking at me xD NOOBS xD

That's also because arresting civi gets a lot of intel (as well as killing regular enemies etc.)

Read the manual?

It's 1 minute after:
Spawning
Dropping a kit
Using a vehicle
Having your 'hands' (resuscitate) equipped
Having your epipens equipped

If you kill a civilian outside of those 5 points you get;
+120s spawn time (up to a max of 5 minutes)
Not being able to request kits for 10 minutes
score is reduced to 0, and teamwork score to -100
minus 10 intelligence points

It is also not allowed to under ANY circumstance:
run over civilians
kill them on a ladder
kill them on a rope

Could have sworn it was 2 mins for some things, I have an egg timer as well but i'm too lazy to test it.

RTFM!

Tssss, manuals are for people who can read, (...) that s***

It used to be 2 minutes pre 0.9, yes, but that was changed..

i allways kill civilians on rope or ladder never get any penalties for this as ur kit is nil and voud when using the equipment

Midget, nice.

This is exactly why i have made a thread...the manual is complete bull in telling you stuff like this and its just completely blurry in the rules..

Never read the manual once me! wouldn't even no what it looks like?

Were is it even ?

Made it a bit more accurate for you mate!

Yep, I always end up being a crap civi, as I always sprint at them from the spawn point and forget about the 1 min timer

I read the manual after I knew most of the game

Ive read the manual first time after I played civi...after 4 years of PR
