I've been seeing quite a bit of suicides lately and there needs to be some sort of penalty for it. Either people drop an airstrike on themselves or run out of bounds. It's just cheesy.

I think there should be a -30,000 C-bill fine for suiciding in a match.

Why should there be a penalty? Just because they are denying you the kill?

A suicide counts as a death. That's all the penalty it needs.

Suicide is already a dumb thing to do, in comparison to Leeroying into the enemy blob and trying to get a kill before you die. Adding a penalty would just unnecessarily punish people who die from overheat while attempting previously mentioned Leeroy tactics.

As many people around here like to say, this game is about War, so look at suicide as a "scorched earth" tactic, denying the enemy the extra bounty that would come from the kill of your mech. :)

If you believe a player is in violation of those rules, please report them to support@mwomercs.com

In this report please include, if available, the following informations:
- Name of the player
- Map played
- Date, time and timezone
- Type of offense
- Other players involved (witnesses)
- Screenshots
- Link to video or other material that might prove usefull for the GMs.

The gamemaster will then decide if a player deserves a punishment or not.

If a player participated in the game and kills himself, only to deny the opponent a killshot, that is within the rules.
