a flag that just lets u roam the map so u wint get killed. CANT get killed by anything, even world weapons

but it has a time limit so u wont hae annoying people who just sit there. the tim limit could be set w/ the /set command. CANT go through buildings or shoot of course.
so bassicly u become a tank that cant kill or be killed

PZ is one of the nicest, if not the most useful "travel" flag. You take the quick direct way to wherever you find a transporter close to the action. As with other flags, the layout of a map makes the difference. On "Two Castles" the PZ flag has become quite useful while it does not encourage a bunch of PZ campers like it was on "Mad City".

In the 2.x versions, PZ tanks can kill other PZ tanks-- even when they're both zoned.

what is the purpose of this flag?

So you can get to zones and places that you would otherwise have to fight for? (ie, in CTF, if someone is guarding their base, you just jump up there, drop the flag and shoot them.)

If thats no the intent, i see the flag being used as this. so This does not get my vote. I'm against.

I have to side with Red Baron.

This flag has no use what so ever.

You just fly around doing nothing...

Get this flag...
Goto a spot that nobody can kill you...
Wait till the time limit is done...
Laugh at them...

I agree. Both PZ and ST flags often permit you within certain limits to get to areas that are otherwise difficult, but the limits they have balances out that ability. Capturing the flag should always have a fair level of risk in the attempt because it is the ultimate goal in CTF.

actually thats not what i was shooting for, i guess i just really need to put in a suggestion of putting back the "@" in front of ur name and u could rome the map :\
i had no intentions of what yall thought of, i didnt even think of that myself...

This sounds like a bad flag to me...

we still have that feature. Only you don't have to put the @ infront of you name. You just select the team "observer" and then you can roam all you want.
