Quoted from about links:

"What are your guidelines for hostage treatment?
It's important for everyone to realize that hostages are an important objective in this game. Terrorists are supposed to protect the hostages. After all, isn't that what is keeping the ct's from just blowing them up? CT's are to rescue them. Therefore, terrorist "hostage wounding" is forbidden. Hostages are NOT to be thought of as nothing more than shields to hide behind. For this reason, it is against the spirit of PCS to arrange the hostages as a wall, or "meat donut" for you to hide behind. It's inevitable that a terrorist will end up in a situation where the only cover he has from a CT is a hostage, and that's OK, just don't arrange the hostages specifically as a shield...

Placing hostages in windows and other strategic places to distract CTs is also a viable tactic, but DO NOT block entrances to rooms or doors with them, this is an AI bug that we do NOT take advantage of here.

Another allowable tactic is to move the hostages to a different strategic location to defend them. This is fine, but don't seperate the hossies any further apart than they were when they spawned. In other words, don't hide each of the four hostages in a different corner of the map. This is Counter-Strike, not hide and go seek... It's also forbidden for the Ts to run all over the map with a hostage "train" behind them. Terrorists are on DEFENSE on cs_maps and should NOT have an offensive strategy in mind..."


Oh now I have a question how do the Terrorists move the hostages? As long as I've played they only respond to CT's talking to them. Can someone clarify this for me?
