The map also contains a small Jail cell, which is a first for TTT maps
Hardly. Anyways, are you not concerned about players simply memorizing the map? I'm just going to slide this idea in here: moving walls.

A while ago the time penalty for getting a code wrong was increased to make brute forcing hard/risky, because that method made C4 with longer timers useless. Finding C4 should not equal guaranteed defusion + traitor DNA = free traitor kill. Now, finding C4 means you either take the risk of disarming (which if the C4's timer was 45 sec really isn't a big risk), or you get at the traitor's corpse to find the bomb info, or a detective uses the Defuser. None of these options comes free, which is exactly how it should be. If that means innocent players just try to avoid the C4, that's fine (no DNA for you). They already did with the old system, and at least this one isn't exploitable, and neither does it break longer C4 timers.
How was the old system exploitable in a way this one isn't, exactly? Anyways, I don't see why you're going to such lengths to make longer timers more useful. Just because it's an option doesn't mean it has to be as useful. Players running in to find the C4 were already taking the risk of death because they have no idea how long it's been ticking or when it'll blow (until it's too late), so I wouldn't exactly call it "guaranteed defusion" or "free traitor kill" or "risk free" at all. This new system has more of a double risk if you ask me: both finding it and diffusing. In my opinion, actually getting to the C4 without it blowing up on you and having enough time to extract the code was definitely enough work to earn DNA which might not even make it to the hands of a detective.

How about the traitor tells an innocent friend who all the other traitors are, and ruins every round that way? Normal traitors won't have an innocent friend who will happily kill himself like you suggest, and normal traitors are the only traitors worth dealing with. After all, cheating traitors could just download a scriptenforcer bypass and aimhack everyone to death if they're intent on ruining the game.
Because doing the C4 thing is, quite simply, more fun. It's also much less traceable and the reaction people will have ("what the fuck where did that come from oh shit we all died") is way better than simply killing traitors on sight. I liked the old system because if you actually got to the C4 early, you could reliably defuse it. Now when you get to a C4 early, there's still a random chance element of blowing yourself up and a ton of innocents who have yet to evacuate. Who will even bother? Of course neither of us will know how it turns out until it's released, but I'm fairly confident in my speculation. EDIT: Have you ever considered the prospect of a gas-type C4 that renders the area around it poisonous for a while? Kind of like an area denial thing.

Um so, can traitors cut a non-safe wire on purpose right after setting it and kill everyone?
No, I do think of some things. Any wire they cut will disarm the C4.
How about if a traitor gets an innocent friend to do it for them and, for instance, kill 10 people huddled around a traitor checker because they never heard the beeping? If you're going to do graphics, why not implement that Mastermind idea instead? That can't be exploited and actually requires some panic-fueled problem solving.

P.S.S You can't kill someone because hes wounded, even if you have 1/3rd chance of he being a traitor :(
It was honestly just an educated guess and I'm sorry for going out on too much of a limb. Anyways, I wasn't saying this should be a ban thread, I just wanted to post it. I forgot my password for the DNR forums am in game now. Also my DNR admin disappeared :(

Aim-botting. Brutally obvious. Don't have a video but you can take my word.
I think we need a ban thread.

I suggest that players (mostly traitors) be able to use both slot 7 and slot 8 (slot 8 being the one being used exclusively for the DNA scanner I believe) for all traitor/detective items. The reason behind this is because it lets traitors use their items in combination, i.e. teleporter + newton launcher. Of course, traitors packing two items can't pick up DNA scanners.
Alternately, move DNA scanner to slot 9 and have slot 7 and 8 for items.

God what a douche. Anyways, it could be neat, but I'm against it. The innocents have very few deduction skills as it is, why take away the one where they know how many traitors they're up against?

Nice to see you're as cheery as usual.
Players don't really set the bomb to any time higher than the minimum because there's no guarantee the players will still be there in 3 minutes, let alone not hear the beeper and evacuate. Such a pathetically low number of players actually try to diffuse the bomb anyway, since simply standing back and warning players is much more reliable, easier, and effective. Going to find the bomb is a suicide mission since the bombs are usually very well hidden and you practically can't tell the time left, and the reward is unreliable (due to detective requirement) and pretty much just leads to a cornered traitor going postal on you if you do get anywhere.
But I mean obviously you knew all this already. You know the code like the back of your hand, so that must mean you know how players take to the game just as well. Clearly anyone attempting to convey any sort of advice based off of their personal experiences is a smart ass, and they should be punished for making you suffer so.
