But that ruins gameplay when the boss is not around.
I know there is no perfect solution, but the suggestiones here were usefull.

Not the best sollution.. but you can always just force everyone in 1 team
color. All still works, then it is just all against him without people
being able to kill.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Add option for disallowing killing during
Merasmus spawn
It is a game play mechanic decision that unfortunately results in a large
amount of rancor and recrimination among the players (as a player I've
avoided koth_lakeside_event for this reason.) TF2 otherwise is brilliant
in sidestepping these kinds of friction-causing griefing opportunities.
Hoping the SourceMod plugin suffices for now, and probably represents the
best path for any immediate near-term resolution.

My concern goes to the regulars who play on a server and try to get it
while the random joiners go on and kill everyone despite everybody
saying don't do it, just for this one round. If not nearly everyone
isn't participating, killing it without a lot of huntsman snipers is
too hard to achieve.
I have 1200+ new players each day on stats during halloween now and a
lot of them i never see (which is perfectly fine) but i just wanted
some method to keep the most of the server inline so that no admin is
needed to keep the players on tight rope and they can get the
achievement and that hat.
Valve already made it so easy to get that gift so i don't understand
why the boss killing couldn't be made easier too.

This doesn't seem important enough to warrant adding a cvar and
disabling killing and such. This is all anecdotal but on my server
there doesn't seem to be a huge issue about killing the boss and
getting into the book.
There
will always be cases of people greifing and such but if it's that
problematic then they will find another server to get their hat.
If a user is only on your server because you happen to be on that
map, and they -only- want the hat, and decide to leave because they
cannot get a hat... I'm going to be a negative nancy and just say you
probably aren't going to make a regular repeat customer out of them
anyways. And if you uber everyone on the island then what is to stop
pyros from airblasting people off? Or what is to stop people from
body blocking and physically preventing you from moving past? You
start going down a slope that isn't worth traversing during such a
short holiday event.

Someone on my server suggested we do something similar but we
didn't. We figured this would be considered abuse of the halloween
system.
What's Valve position on this matter?

For the time being there is this sourcemod plugin:

I haven't had the chance to try it so can't comment on how good it
is.

Can we please get a cvar to disable killing during Merasmus on
halloween
event map, but allow all other times? I'm getting tired of people
killing
everyone who try to kill Merasmus and then laugh about it while
the
rest
get off the server without the hat that they so badly wanted.
There's
still
a lot of people who haven't managed to kill him not even once as
every
time
someone kills them either before they enter the book or at the
island.
Yes, it's supposed to be fun but it isn't for these guys. I can't
be around watching and helping others all the time, nor can any of
the 40+ admins. So can you please add a cvar like
sv_halloween_boss_kill_disable
1
that would make people not being able to kill anyone except
Merasmus
while
he's active on the map and once on the island, making people
ubered
like
after exiting it (so no one kills anyone). Make it just an option
that server owners can toggle on or off. Wouldn't hurt anyone and
would help some people. There is still time before the event ends.
Thanks.
