Hi Andreas,
Well that would definitely work ! But we like C4.... Just not within say
8 meters of the CTF flag pole!
Everywhere else is great! So that is what I'm trying to accomplish,
because on No-C4_at_flag CTF servers (pretty much the only ones worth
playing on) it is a huge pain in the butt to communicate no C4 to
players and have them go along. Hopefully, having them drop dead with c4
in their hands when they get too close to the flag will impart the message.
