JakeInnit_ Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Increase Prison Stamp's Worth Current system You get sent to prison, at the start of your sentence you are given 500 stamps via the prison script Normally I start by buying a pickaxe but you can choose to buy several items at the prison with stamps: Food - 250 stamps Soda - 250 stamps Water - 100 stamps Note - 250 stamps Pickaxe - 500 stamps Go outside to the mining area You mine 4 ores (maximum you can fit as each ore weighs 10 volume and you will only have 49 remaining volume when the pickaxe is in your inventory) You walk to the other side of the yard to the drop off point and sell your ore for stamps You repeat stages 3-5 until you have built up 100 stamps You can then go inside the prison and exchange your 100 stamps for 10 seconds off your prison sentence Tin ore is the only ore available to mine within the prison, the exchange rate at which you sell the ore varies but in this case you get 27.5 stamps per ore, which rounds down to 27 stamps per ore as you cannot have half a stamp. This means you have to mine 23 ore to remove a minute off of your sentence. There is also the fact that some of the ore you sell has to fund your food and water in order to keep you alive during the course of your prison sentence, so you cannot fully invest in time reduction, you also have to work and pay to stay alive. Proposed System Therefore, I propose the exchange rate from ores to stamps is doubled so it is exactly 1/4 of the normal selling price rather than an 1/8 of the normal selling price. I would also like prisoners to be equipped with a pickaxe for free at the start of their sentence, you should not be forced to choose between working and buying food, you should be able to do both. 220$ per ore exchange rate currently gives 27 stamps 220$ per ore exchange rate should give 55 stamps Reasoning As most of the criminal roleplayers will know, prison is often boring and tedious with very little roleplay opportunities and the best thing to do is often stick on a decent movie or some music and mine ores with your friends but it seems people often resort to afking in prison as the mining simply isn't worth the time.

Donovan Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) +1 EDIT: Personally I think the afk should be brought back to prison untill we have a more established system of RP activities inside the prison, because at the moment Poker is empty as it requires 1500 buy in, stamp exchange for reduced time is useless as the time it takes to mine 1000 ore to reduce 100 seconds is more than the reduction itself and makes no sense to do it, and even if Guards did some sort of RP there is only so much they can do via /me and /do to provide entertainment because not everyone inside prison has same take on RP or sees same activity as having FUN Edited February 25, 2020 by Donovan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bala Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 If the currency meant something more in prison, then I think people would be more receptive to doing the actions that have been scripted to earn stamps in the first place. I was grinding the prison mining (which with the need for a pickaxe, is inconvenient) for a little while and went and exchanged my stamps.. barely got a minute off my sentence for my efforts. We don't want people getting out too fast but there is a big gap between it being irrelevant to do and being overpowered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomvd682 Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 +1 Maybe also make the stamps worth more "reduced time" and add more locations for minerals to spawn because as of now if you mine with two or more people you're going to run out of mineable minerals pretty quickly and have to wait for a rock to spawn every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeInnit_ Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I would also like to add that the fluctuation of ore selling prices affect the prisoners, the more of a certain ore that is sold, the lower the selling price of that ore goes. So if you mine a lot in a certain period the value of the ore lowers. This is should not be happening as only one type of ore is available to mine in prison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
