A good replacement for what you want added is getting on the bike and going backwards, as you are using your feet to move it doesn't consume gas

Hey!, another DOC guard here, I don't have much to add since I believe Kimey and Chunder have covered everything in your post, but I would just like to add that I've been seeing many players in game complain about being put in a cell and "ignored" in ooc chat, so first of all this is an IC issue like Kimey said, since people being put into cells is always an IC consequence for an IC action, be it that you fought someone, threatened someone, you're an MSI, etc. Another thing I could add is that in fact, DOC staff are held to a high rp standard and we always encourage everyone to give us feedback, but something needs to be cleared up and its that in the same way the criminal players are players the DOC staff are also players and we are learning daily and improving our rp and our faction daily. I've also seen a lot of prisoners complain both IC and OOC about guards "just standing there" at the front desk, on their phones, etc. The thing is I'm not sure how many players are aware of this but DOC, PD, SD and other factions have paperwork to do much like in real life, so everything that we do we have to fill out a paperwork for it, be it that we processed you and we have to explain what items we found and your information, etc, speak about certain inmates behaviour, rp fixing stuff around the prison, and many other kinds of rp and paperwork, so if you ever see us standing around were probably doing paperwork, and trust me doing homework is not more fun than rping with other players so if your rp is being blatantly ignored most likely it means that theres something more urgent going on like in this case the Arya situation, otherwise we always try to rp with prisoners as much as we can, but we cant have people who are consantly fighting other prisoners out of cells as we did not join the faction to take people from the cellblock to medbay and from medbay to the cellblock and repeat, instead we have other many kinds of rp to take part in, some optional, some not optional (again to make sure our rp standard is high), as players we are aware that prison can be very frustrating and boring since most of us have criminal characters and have been in the same exact position as you, but at the end of the day prison is prison and we make it as fun as a prison can be. I believe one of the major problems is the lack of transparency of what rp we engage in at DOC, as many players who only play criminal characters might not have any idea of all the paperwork rp that goes behind the ingame rp, and we are actively trying to fix that by making faction thread posts where we showcase our rp and such in a way for everyone to enjoy and get some insight from. In the end all I would like to say is that even if we have a uniform in game or not we are all just players trying to enjoy our time, and me personally I respect all of the criminal players as they allow me to engage in my rp as a prison guard even when the criminal rp and options in the server might be stale or not as high standard as the legal factions (DOC, PD...), we try to take care of everything as much as we can, in game rping with everyone and trying to make things fun, doing paperwork so that everything is documented and realistic, answering in the forums like right now, and many more, Im sorry to the player that made this post if you felt like your rp was ignored and Ill keep trying my best and encourage my peers to do the same for the community and for all players, thank you very much! -Daryl
