Denied Remove the Teaming/Crossteaming rule in Slime Survival

[Wauterrr]

Hey hey,

For those who don't know two days ago the 1.4- Teaming/Crossteaming rule got changed a little bit.

Spoiler: The old rule

The old rule before the rule change the 1.4- Teaming/Crossteaming is stated as:
"Teaming is defined as intentionally working together with an enemy player in a solo mode game. Crossteaming is defined as intentionally working together with an enemy player in a team mode game. Both teaming and crossteaming are strictly prohibited in games with both solo and team modes available, as well as solo featured games. Featured games will host solo games such as Survival Games, but as there will be a team Survival Games hosted in the future, teaming is not allowed in the solo version. Teaming is allowed in FFA, Minerware and Assassinations. Teaming is allowed when every remaining player alive in a game agrees to it."

Spoiler: The new rule

The new 1.4- Teaming/Crossteaming rule is stated as:
Teaming is defined as intentionally working together with an enemy player in a solo mode game. Crossteaming is defined as intentionally working together with an enemy player in a team mode game. Both teaming and crossteaming are strictly prohibited except for the following games: FFA, MinerWare, Assassinations, QuakeCraft, WingRush, and Layer Spleef.
Teaming is allowed when every remaining player alive in a game agrees to it.

This means in the old rule teaming was allowed in the following gamemodes: FFA, Minerware, Assassinations, Layer Spleef, QuakeCraft, WingsRush, and Slime Survival.
In the new 1.4- Teaming/Crossteaming rule update Slime Survival will no longer accept Teaming/Crossteming. This is a very unclear rule. You will be punished if you help your party member who is the main slime in the first moment of the game. But this is very easy to ''accidentally'' bypass by being AFK or accidentally walking in the slime the main slime threw. There are also players who like to be the slime does this mean they can't let themselves get converted to be a slime? Will the main slime also be punished for converting someone in the first moment of release because someone wants to be converted? The main slime is doing what they should do even if their party members let themselves get converted. The main slime can't ignore them all game but will still be punished for Teaming/Crossteaming if they convert party members when the game starts which is in my opinion unfair and shouldn't be punishable for the main slime. It will be very hard to check if the converting was an accident or did on purpose and it will create a lot of controversy. Slime Survival is not a very competitive gamemode most people come to chill a bit and run around. Therefore the rule should be changed back and Teaming/Crossteaming should be allowed in Slime Survial.

Thanks for reading this. Let me know what you think!

Hello!
Teaming in Slime Survival was never allowed and that's why I decided to clarify it with the latest rules update.
Slime Survival is a game where 2 different teams participate: the slime(s), and the survivors. That's why intentionally letting yourself become a Slime is an attack on your original team, decreasing their chances of surviving.
I know it is possible that a survivor may accidentally get afk and be turned into a slime, but that is something the moderators take into account when punishing, because it will only be considered teaming if the evidence clearly shows that intention.
The slime who convert players who intentionally want to be converted will not be punished, as this player is playing the game as it was intended. It is not their fault that others want to team up with them.
I know some players like to play as a slime, but just like in Among Slimes, being the slime (or the imposter) is a matter of luck. If you don't get it this time, you might get it next time, but that doesn't mean you're going to reduce the survivor team chances of getting a win.
