DeanThompson Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 As the title says there should be an option to stay or leave prison when your time is up. It's really frustrating when you are in the midst of some really good prison roleplay when your time or someone elses time suddenly expires and you automatically teleport out of prison. What should happen is you should get a notification saying "Your prison sentence is over. Type /releaseme when you are ready to leave the prison". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wifye Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) +1 I could see how popping right out of prison could be annoying mid rp. I would however put a time limit of like 30 minutes that the command could be used before it just auto boots someone out after their time is up just so people don't stay in prison forever.

Why not let people stay in prison as long as they wish so they can bring in some prison RP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mix between the realism of prison kicking people out when their times up and so players can't just stay hanging out there forever thus making them almost inaccessible to others. I could see people hiding in prison to avoid facing threats waiting on the outside. I don't play a criminal character and never have been in jail but the idea that players could just stay there forever seems a tad broken in the grand scheme of things.

alexalex303 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think there should be a limit for realism's sake. It wouldn't make sense to get life in prison for certain charges that will land you in prison. However, you should be able to choose when you are released (let's say up to four hours) so that you may finish any roleplay scenario before leaving. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanThompson Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Alternatively maybe the guards could get a notification to kick you out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like @alexalex303 idea of four hours compared to 30 minutes, could even go with 8 hours to make it 1 day IC. Gives them plenty of time to finish rp'ing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Pete Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1 I can see a small demand for this. A few times on my PD character I was asked to re-imprison someone OOC as they were involved in RP. One that I remember well was 2 friends who got imprisoned at the same time for the max time. However, one had VIP so was let out 30 minutes earlier than the other. They must have both been enjoying it inside as they both asked me to imprison the other when he was released. Maybe instead of automatic ejection from prison, you could get a notification stating your time is up and you can use /leaveprison to leave. People that go AFK and may miss the notification, when they do /jtime it should display the notification again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_MacAleese Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1 As the prison roleplay goes we do not want to limit the ability for people that want to stay and roleplay aswell as the ability foe a guard to remove an inmate after finishing their sentence would be great! We were thinking about a system that would ping eveey guard on duty like the ringprison command that would allow us to retrieve the inmate and bring them to a point in the prison which would then release them automatically from that point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapman Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1 There should be a command to release yourself when your time is up instead of being released automatically. Something like between 2-4 hours if the command is not used would be a good idea so people aren’t in the prison forever. I also suggest if people don’t notice that their time is up that a prompt in chat would tell you you served your time and to use the command to release yourself, maybe in time intervals. This could add some roleplay for DOC actually walking the person out, giving them their items back, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yputi Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1 Who wouldn't like some prison RP! I think this is a great idea to just not have people TP out instant. I actually had some situation where the TP'ing was sort of taking IC by hearing something like: "If your sentence was over, you would have been outside with your clothes no matter what". If we can combine with with the RP of guards, I would be very happy actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWonanother Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1 we sometimes have people poof out of RP mid prison RP and this is a much-needed feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osva Silver Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1. I wouldn't need to commit crimes on purpose and get my ass dragged to jail every 10 minutes, if I only had an option to stay there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSJC Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 +1 Really good suggestion. Would of helped loads the other day when the prisoner got released mid prison breakout RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bala Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I also think you could make a case for not being able to be released when the prison is closed to the public (same as bank times - closed from 10pm till 8am) unless a Corrections Officer allows it. That would give people an incentive to be well behaved in prison, because they want to get out on time. But then again, I feel like DOC should probably have the option to extend your original sentence by up to an hour if you commit more crimes in jail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hundred percent this is my suggestion This would make the prison more lively and create a lot more prison roleplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
