Skial Jailbreak Rules and Guidelines
What is jailbreak?
Jailbreak is a custom game mode where members of the Red team (prisoners) have to kill members of the Blue team (guards), or survive until the round ends.
To accomplish this goal, prisoners must rebel against their guards by escaping while the guards are not paying attention.
General
If you're dead, you may not give any information about living players. This is ghosting, and can result in a temporary mute.
A microphone is not required to play on any team. Warden and blues may use chat or their microphone. If a warden is going to use their microphone to deliver orders, they do not need to say "Orders via mic".
You may type /q to leave the guard queue at any time; if you're currently a guard while leaving the queue, you won't be removed until the current round ends.
FAQ/Terms
You may kill a prisoner if and only if:
One member of the Blue Team is the warden each round, and is selected based on a queue system.
If you are going to ask a question for LR, it must be Team Fortress 2 related (lore, cosmetics, weaponry, map-based are all acceptable) or basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. PEMDAS is assumed. If you don't know what that is, we can't really help you...)
Freedays and Last Requests
Freedays
If the warden gives no orders after 7:30 has passed, it is a revokable freeday (abbreviated as FD). This freeday is without ammo. If you die, it is an irrevokable freeday. No other guard may take your place.
If the warden gives orders prior to 7:30, but gives no orders for 45 seconds after their first order was given, it is a revokable free day as if no orders had been given at all.
If prisoners have been ordered to stay in their cells but have not been ordered to come out by 6:45 then it is an irrevokable freeday.
Any freeday given by a warden (of which, only 4 at most may be given not including freedays resulting from the last request) is without ammo, unless specified by the warden.
If a free day is granted and all but one of the guards are killed, the last remaining guard can kill all remaining prisoners until they die or until no prisoners remain. Reds are allowed to fight back in order to kill the last guard. This is known as "Last guard kills all".
Last Request
The last red gets his or her last request (abbreviated as LR). The LR is granted to the last remaining red who has followed all of your instructions, and is not an existing freeday (either granted by the warden or as a part of the LR from the previous round)
Any of the following actions are considered griefing, and can result in a slay or ban depending on the severity of the action. This section applies to both teams.
We got that covered.

FAQ/Terms
- LR - Last request, must be given to the last surviving prisoner (who was not rebelling; if they were rebelling, they can be pardoned, but if a non-rebelling prisoner AND a rebelling prisoner are alive, the non-rebelling prisoner MUST be given LR). See the "Freeday and Last Requests" section for more detail.
- FD - Free day, can be asked for as part of a prisoner's LR, or granted by the current round's warden. Up to four free days, not including the LR, can be granted by a warden. Free days are inherently given without ammo, unless the warden allows them ammo. Prisoners cannot request a free day with ammo. See the "Freeday and Last Requests" section for more details.
- AFK - Away from keyboard, no freelooking, no moving around in any direction, no swinging or firing a weapon. Voice chat and voice commands are allowed if prisoners are asked to AFK.
- You must follow the warden's rules or you may be killed by blues.
- If you are told to AFK, you are expected to: AFK, no taunting, no freelooking, and no healing, unless the warden specifies otherwise.
- Voice commands can be used while AFK, and cannot be banned or suppressed by the warden.
- If you are freehit, you may attack back without becoming KOS. Be warned: This may confuse guards, and you may be killed for rebelling if they aren't aware of the freehit.
- You may only get ammo if the warden allows it.
- You may rebel, as long as you realize the risks.
- When ordered to go to a minigame, by default you must go through the red entrance unless otherwise stated by the warden. Going through the wrong entrance is considered rebelling.
You may kill a prisoner if and only if:
- They have ammo (unless allowed by the warden). If they picked up ammo by accident and they ask to waste it somewhere other than in another person, allow them to do so.
- Note: Entering the red pipe in Minecart and yellow pipe in MLCastle do not warrant a prisoner's death. If they pick up ammo in the red pipe, or continue to armory in the yellow pipe, they can then be killed for picking up ammo and entering the armory (respectively).
As a guard, you can escort a prisoner out of the red pipe room, or wait sixty seconds in the yellow pipe hallway after which you will return to Stage Chaos.
- Note: Entering the red pipe in Minecart and yellow pipe in MLCastle do not warrant a prisoner's death. If they pick up ammo in the red pipe, or continue to armory in the yellow pipe, they can then be killed for picking up ammo and entering the armory (respectively).
- They are taking detours/are delaying. No detours/delays is a silent rule and applies to all orders.
- They hit/attacked/killed a blue. Baiting is allowed on the server; a guard can come close to a red, and the red is not allowed to attack back unless the guard hits the red.
- They rebelled in general (not following the warden's specific orders).
- They are breaking the armory roof or have accessed the armory (unless ammo is allowed by the warden).
- They are breaking the entrance of the cell-to-armory tunnel on Minecart or HopJB (unless ammo is allowed by the warden).
- Found in the Tardis room (unless ammo is allowed by the warden).
- Exploiting a game (sticking to the door in any game [Nine Square, Fall Game] to avoid dying, etc).
- Using a taunt to pass the minefield without taking damage is an exploit. KOS.
- Baiting is generally allowed: You may only kill if you are baited or are surrounded by 4 or more reds, until there are less than 4 reds surrounding you, at which point you should stop shooting.
- They opened the prison exit door in Chretien.
- They are griefing buttons/games/prematurely enabling them.
- They go out before 7:30 and no orders are given.
- Upper Floor (Blue Spawn) of Chretien
- Hidden Room (accessible via bathroom teleport) of Casuarina
- Tardis Room of Minecart
- Sentry Gun in Obstacle Course of Minecart
- Red Pipe area on MLCastle
- Blue guard room in arena on MLCastle
- On top of blue smashing stones in Death Run on MLCastle (applies to prisoners as well)
- Anywhere players of the other team cannot physically kill/reach you.
- Armory for more than one minute. You can stay inside of Armory indefinitely as long as there are four or more prisoners surrounding the armory; if there are fewer, you must vacate the armory within one minute.
- Anything that hurts, damages, or otherwise changes the status of a prisoner is considered freehit. The following are considered to be freehitting:
- Shooting at a prisoner with your weapon
- Pushing a prisoner with the Shortstop
- Throwing Jarate/reskins at a prisoner(s)
- Throwing Mad Milk/reskins at a prisoner(s)
- Stunning a prisoner with Medic/Sniper taunts, or with the Sandman
- Making a prisoner laugh with the Holiday Punch
- Freehit or freekill can be a cause for being slain or banned.
One member of the Blue Team is the warden each round, and is selected based on a queue system.
- You may not kill your guards without a justifiable reason. Killing your guards for no reason is considered freekill, and can result in a slay or ban.
- You may not rename guards, yourself, or Reds ("All Reds are now known as tomatoes" is an invalid order.)
- You may kill your guards if they do not do what you say, or if they are griefing/freekilling (disobeying orders intentionally, turning on/off games prematurely, detonating traps in Death Run, freekilling prisoners, etc.)
- The warden is the only blue player that can issue orders. Guards must enforce his orders and kill the reds that do not follow them.
- The warden may order you to go to specific minigames that will filter reds until there is 1 survivor.
- Play any of the below games (they are considered banned)
- Opinionated games (Hat Day, Spray Day, Joke Day)
- Warday
- Anarchy Day
- Hunger Games
- First Reaction / Last Reaction
- Russian Roulette on Casuarina
- Simon Says
- Single players out (X player to Y game, Z player to B game, etc). Giving orders based on class is allowed.

- No AFK whole round orders.
- Ban chat/voice messages from red team
- Cancel a freeday so that said person can get LR.
- Dodgeball on MLCastle
- Bumblebeam on MLCastle

If you are going to ask a question for LR, it must be Team Fortress 2 related (lore, cosmetics, weaponry, map-based are all acceptable) or basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. PEMDAS is assumed. If you don't know what that is, we can't really help you...)
Freedays and Last Requests
Freedays
If the warden gives no orders after 7:30 has passed, it is a revokable freeday (abbreviated as FD). This freeday is without ammo. If you die, it is an irrevokable freeday. No other guard may take your place.
If the warden gives orders prior to 7:30, but gives no orders for 45 seconds after their first order was given, it is a revokable free day as if no orders had been given at all.
If prisoners have been ordered to stay in their cells but have not been ordered to come out by 6:45 then it is an irrevokable freeday.
Any freeday given by a warden (of which, only 4 at most may be given not including freedays resulting from the last request) is without ammo, unless specified by the warden.
If a free day is granted and all but one of the guards are killed, the last remaining guard can kill all remaining prisoners until they die or until no prisoners remain. Reds are allowed to fight back in order to kill the last guard. This is known as "Last guard kills all".
Last Request
The last red gets his or her last request (abbreviated as LR). The LR is granted to the last remaining red who has followed all of your instructions, and is not an existing freeday (either granted by the warden or as a part of the LR from the previous round)
- You should always grant the LR of the previous round as soon as possible. Denying the last request for any reason is bannable.
- Rebels cannot be given the LR unless they are pardoned; if a pardoned rebel does not adhere to the warden's orders, then they will not receive the LR.
- After the LR is given, the warden has the option to grant all surviving reds (who are current freedays, LRs, or rebels) a free day; unless otherwise stated, all reds are KOS after the LR is granted.
- If the prisoner has a death wish, it must be granted by the warden unless it breaks a rule or is impossible to fulfill. Denying a prisoner's death wish is considered a denial of their last request.
- The last request is always auto granted after the warden has asked for it, and the prisoner has said, either via chat or voice, their last request.
- Prisoners who received a last request in the previous round cannot receive it in the current round under any circumstances.
- The last prisoner can request a freeday for themselves and one other person in the next round.
- Examples of other valid last requests include, but are not limited to:
- Freeday for themselves and one other player
- Next warden must say x after every order; what they say must adhere to Skial rules as with any other voice or chat message.
- Going to a place (Pool, Disco, Diner) for a portion of the next round, but not the entire round.
- Doing a minigame for a portion of the next round, but not the entire round.
Any of the following actions are considered griefing, and can result in a slay or ban depending on the severity of the action. This section applies to both teams.
- Prematurely activating buttons in any game against the orders of the warden, when it would case multiple prisoners to die at once without due case, or in order to prevent the warden from using that game. Examples are as follows, but are not limited to:
- Prematurely activating traps in Death Run (all maps)
- Prematurely selecting props in Stage Chaos (MLCastle)
- Prematurely stopping the Four Corners selector (Minecart, MLCastle, Casuarina)
- Blocking door buttons for any game or room, or spamming them so as to keep a door open or closed
- Keeping cell doors closed in the event of a freeday (MLCastle; on other maps, the cell doors will open automatically after a certain period of time)
- Prematurely finishing games that cannot be reactivated (including but not limited to Fall Game, Nine Square, Crush Game, Temple Tumble, Box Game, Mario Kart, Steady Pace, Bumble Beam)
- Selecting multiple bridges/doors in Death Run
- Giving away the location of a player, or information about a player (whether or not they have ammo, whether or not they rebelled, whether or not they killed someone), while dead
- Using guns while inside of boxing/arena; guards can shoot from outside boxing/arena into the game if they can safely kill a rebel without hurting other players. Freehitting or freekilling players inside boxing/arena may result in a slay or ban, depending on the severity.
- Entering boxing or arena if you are a guard or a freeday. If you have not been explicitly ordered to boxing or arena, you are not allowed to enter it if other prisoners are currently fighting there. Doing otherwise may result in a slay or ban.
- Guards cannot actively refuse to enable prisoners to do something they were ordered to do, or actively block their attempts to do so. This is griefing and can result in a slay or ban. Examples include but are not limited to:
- Blocking the entryway to a game or some other destination, and refusing to allow prisoners to go by you. You can, and more than likely will, get killed this way.
- Ordering prisoners to play Death Run and finish it within a certain time period, but refusing to activate the primary "gate" in Death Run, or actively refusing to permit their progress in some other way, and prevent them from completing the game in a timely fashion.
- Ordering prisoners to play Mario Kart and finish by a certain point in time OR be among a certain number of prisoners to finish first, and then stopping the game prior to the predetermined threshold having been met (whether it's a time limit or number of race winners)
- Ordering prisoners to play Sweeper/Wipeout, and either constantly switching the spinner direction or stopping the game altogether too frequently for prisoners to adequately avoid the spinner.
- Ordering prisoners to play Arena but constantly teleporting them in and out of the red holding area.
- Use your best judgement. If it's going to get a lot of people killed at once, or prevent them from doing what you've explicitly asked them to do, it probably isn't a good idea.
We got that covered.
Either:
- Go to skial.com and make a report with enough evidence (tag it with "Jailbreak")
- Use !votemenu to call a mute, slay, or ban on another user. Be warned: Abuse of the vote menu can result in a mute or ban.
- Add a Skial TF2 Admin (preferably someone that plays jailbreak and is familiar with the rules; list is as follows)
