I was thinking about flag that allow you to turn enemy's attack force against your enemy, like in some martial arts.

I see it as a special flag, that makes bullets hit you being instantly refired from your gun. The tank itself can't shot, only redirect enemies' (or your team's) bullets. The tank can still be hit by sw, th, maybe sb and flattened by sr.

Question:
Do you have to be aiming?


I was also thinking of one:
SF ( STRAFE )
Where you can strafe (move sideways) but can't jump.
Useful for dodging and shooting at the same time.

None of these are new ideas and all have been rejected (many times)...

please provide a link to the page of rejected ideas so people don't bring them up over and over again

If people are too lazy to Google for the flag ideas page (which links to the Rejected page), then they're probably too lazy to read the list of rejected flags.

Part of the problem with most flag suggestions it that people have no idea how the game works or is coded, so they aren't even feasible. Another common problem is that people make up ideas that only serve them or specific situations, or are too powerful. There are very few good flag ideas.
