NA siege rules/MOTD/join note re: 'sky-ladders'

[chaosegg]

Could we please have the NA siege server MOTD/rules/server-join-note thingie updated
to say something to the effect of "no magical ladders that rest on nothing are allowed"?
Thanks! <3

[Polobow]

Good suggestion.

But yeah, i hate it sometimes too. Don't think it will happen though.

Thiis would be great, because it is actually against the new server rules, so the in-game blurb needs to be updated to avoid further confusion.

It's in there

No ladder towers/air towers.

[Adam_Bomb]

Does one ladder constitute an air tower or does that refer to multiple ladder stacking?

Placing a ladder on another ladder.

So any ladder that is planted on ground is ok, right?

I often use the ladders inside keeps to bridge chokepoint gaps.

Yes.

So just to clairify, since some (non admin) players have told me it was against the rules, I can throw up a single ladder against a low object or wall corner, just to climb to the top of the ladder and get a better firing angle. I'm therefore not using the ladder to get over a wall, just to get up higher to shoot and avoid cav.  I do this all the time, have not be kicked or banned ever for it, but recently some people are saying I'm breaking the rules.  If so, I think we must be reading different rules...

This has been said by admins in-game repeatedly, "You cannot make sky ladders, floating ladders, 'archer towers' or anything of the same animal." In other words, no, you cannot use a ladder as an archer's perch.

So if I throw a ladder up to get on a roof, I'm not allowed to shoot from the ladder itself if it sticks up higher than the roof?  I'm not trying to be a pain with these questions, but the written rules need to be more detailed. In-game warning by admins - (which i have not seen) about rules which are not written anywhere lead to confusion... I swear I don't think people will be happy until ranged players have to die at the mere sight of an enemy and are only allowed to tickle the other team.

How damn specific do you want them to be? If the ladder is not possible in the real world, it shouldn't be done in-game. Jesus Christ on a crutch, use some common sense.
