This has been discussed a lot of times before in the end cts can give orders in chat but no special orders in chat

Regardless if the person is CT or not, you should typically be glancing over at chat. If it's an admin or even someone asking a question, pay attention. Most of the problems that come with CT's giving orders in chat is the first order. However, when a CT takes first order and types it in chat it appears in the bottom center of the screen so it's easier to see. On top of this, most CT's do end up repeating chat orders midway through the round. In those worst-case scenarios where the chat order is conflicted over mic, just listen to the last order given by the CT's (Or the first one depending on if the other CT retracted their order).

Yep your eyes should be looking at chat every couple of seconds or so and What ZZL said is true usually some CT respectfully stops his/her order because someone in text chat has given his/her order first before she/he has. Theres no reason for us to switch a player to switch a CT player for not having a microphone when you could easily play CT porperly without a microphone via giving orders though chat

TLDR: USE YOUR EYES

The Jailbreak staff and I still have the firm belief that players without a mic should not be restricted from playing CT in its entirety. At this moment, we do not feel that this is a viable change to make.

Thanks for the suggestions though!
