Korab_Bagadovic Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 The prison system is good and all, lots of activities I have no complaints, but it needs polishing. I'm not talking about the poker table or mining, because I don't do those things anyway. I'm talking about the AFK timer... I do agree that you should not be able to be AFK throughout the whole sentence, but when there are no other people in prison I think players should be able to go AFK without the AFK timer popping up, because there is noone to roleplay with anyway, it's boring enough to stay in prison, but when there are no people to talk to or roleplay with it just kills me, so what I suggest is to make it so people don't get an AFK timer while there are <5 prisoners in the prison. Or another nice feature would be that prisoners could be placed in solitary confinement where you're alone and away from everyone and can just stay AFK, of course you'd need to commit a crime with in the prison or be aggressive enough so that the DOC officers have a reason to put you in solitary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam12336020 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 +1 I feel like this should never have been added am scared to RP with police because I know i will have to sit there doing afkmath every 10 mins when am in jail I get that there should be risks but this is pointless when the only things that happen in jail is DM.

stormy69 Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 BIG +1 ... The lack of RP in Prison is grueling. At least provide players with the ability to earn a realistic amount of stamps to play poker, buy more from the commissary, and have more activities. I understand that Prison isn't meant to be a "fun time," but the lack of RP and things to do makes prison miserable. I have a character that I refuse to play on because I'm not going to mindlessly walk around the cell block for 3 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clazza Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 +1 i had 120 minutes in jail, didnt speak to a single person everyone was just stood in a corner and doing afk math. i also believe that the punnishments are far too great for the crims. forcing people to do nothing for two hours does not promote people to rp in a criminal character.

apologisemeow Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) +1 with some sentences going on for hours and a lot of the time nobody is around or people just want to do their time and get out, we should be able to just lay down on our beds and sleep it out, all that being said prison RP can be some of the best RP to be had in the city.

WobblierDog15 Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) +1. However, I think adding RP opportunities in prison would fix the issues stated in this suggestion. If there are no plans to add prison RP, which I assume there isn't because more RP was something that has been suggested for ages, then sure, disable the AFK timer in prison.

Looking over your PFP you are just going around doing -1 to almost every topic you have commented on. I am guessing you have never been to jail for 5+ hours with literally no rp in there and all you are doing is sitting at your computer boring doing /afkmath 69? I have had 5+ hours before. You just suck it up and deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it makes sense that Prison is a punishment for Criminalism and in a certain sense, it works. The issue is that it is more of an OOC punishment than an IC one. Proof of this is that being jailed in PD is the same as getting AJailed. One, an IC punishment, the other, an OOC one. Both work the same way, only that AJail can be longer and doesn't cost you your money and items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayco Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 +1 Yeah jail sucks, i spend most my time sat at my pc waiting for afkmath. Very boring and ruins the whole experience. Either get rid of AFK timers or shorten sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykarch Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 If you remove the afk timers, everyone will be AFK'ing, this is a fact, which will allow players to perform illegal activities without any fear of having to wait in jail.. and from there, we'll have a Los Santos full of wanna-be OG gangsters fearless of going to jail because as soon as they go to jail, they get off their PC's whilst having the game opened and go n' do something else until they're back for more chaos. You know this is a fact. It's a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJangoon Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Im on the fence about this one. I think that people wil no longer fear jail if this happens, but at the same time, jail is an OOC punishment in a matter of speaking. The solution IMO is to encourage prisonrp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykarch Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 21 minutes ago, Devonte said: you know everyone afk’s in jail anyway? and when afk timers were removed rp was still done. WAY better rp than the rp we have now.. I had my first jail time yesterday. I had nice RP even if there were only 5 to 6 people RP'ing. Most people in here should be aware that Roleplay is about the experience, even if you are alone you can write some dope /me's or /do's and that'll help towards building your character's personality. But it seems nowadays everyone's focused on being the toughest OG around town through drive-by shooting and from guns.. it's not about that, but the experience mate. I spent 3600 seconds in jail yesterday or so and I made some connections including officers after getting out, witnessed shit happening, committed my character's first brutal murder.. that adds essence to it.. but maybe I take this too serious, aswell as thousands of other players scattered through hardcore rp servers throughout different games.

Jaquan Smith Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 They don't need to encourage people to be AFK 100% in prison. They should change the system of DOC for something interesting, something that would actually help the prisoners instead of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJangoon Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 IMO, we should have longer AFK timers in prison. This way, people can still AFK in jail, but will be discouraged from completely(Keyword: Completely) eradicating rp. And DOC should probably try and increase the amount of RP they do, because IRL the prison halls aren't empty, guards are on patrol, fights are stopped, etc. So summed up:- 20-30 minutes jail AFK timer Better DOC involvement Improved Prison Economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeInnit_ Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 The fact you get put in jail for breaking ic laws and you get put in the same jail for breaking ooc rules proves its an ooc punishment. Jail needs a full rework, until then add a time cap or disable afk timers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a 2 hour cap in jail. Back in the day when the cap was 2h and you could afk those where the days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
