my idea is to limit the number of thiefs (shots) to the thief flag, like normal shots (reload time), but you can also thief the bullets from your enemys (all bullets expect laser)

Thief, or any other flag for that matter, can be limited in shots. Just configure it on the server. As for your idea of thiefing bullets from enemies, that sounds good. It would probably start with allowing all bullets to be stolen, and the server could limit what type of shots can't be.

Did you mean reload time or ammo, Lan? He was talking about reloading, and I haven't seen any servers with that kind of limit on a particular weapon.

Anyway, I have no problem with thief as it is, and think an extremely fast reload time is appropriate, considering it is range restricted after all. The only thing that annoys me is when someone (usually a teammate) fires it all over the place at anyone in any direction for no apparent reason.

I believe he meant that by thiefing shots, as in shooting thief at a shot and then having the shot go back towards the original shooter, except you would get the kill if it hits someone. That's what I meant. Sounds like a ton of fun.
