Ideas for Jails and Crimcode

[Reiloth]

Hah, that's a good point.

Rotten petoch is like a feast to some people in Nak.

That's what makes it so great. Imagine nobles getting their tee-hees by throwing things at prisoners in the stocks...or making their minions throw gross things. It's very Marie Antoinette.

Poop is free.

[Marauder Moe]

But poop has value now!

[Desertman]

But poop has value now!

Damn you for beating me!

[Reiloth]

That is what makes poop glorious in ArmageddonMUD.

You can shit sid.

[Norcal]

A work around to that might be to make the stockade a room within the room, that everyone can look in to and watch. Sort of like the animal cages, or sparring ring rooms that were set up before the HRPT for those who were there.

That's how I was thinking, especially for the gibbets or gallows.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

Love the stockade idea. That's gold.

[FantasyWriter]

Yeah, I really like the idea of criminal punishment being public in Allanak.
It rides along well with how public executions are done.
Keeping your prisoners hidden away in secret. That just sounds too.... Tuluki.

[Reiloth]

Love the stockade idea. That's gold.

Yes, it is golden. Let's bribe someone with a 12 pack of beer. Maybe even 24.

I reckon they would do it for a couple pints.

Are the four poles in Allanak something that has code attached to them for holding a character in place? If so maybe that can just be copied and reskinned. (I am probably way wrong here)

[BadSkeelz]

I believe it works like subdue code. Seems to break if the person being held is attacked.

I think it'd be pretty public knowledge that that thing is what Allanak uses to execute people publically.

It does not codedly hold you in any way. However, if someone emotes strapping you into it (a Templar), you are required to not flee/walk away, even if you are being killed, until whoever has strapped you in emotes unstrapping you.

I would personally prefer if it codedly held you and gave you a small chance to wiggle out/get away in some fashion based on your flee/agility/sleight-of-hand etc...

[MeTekillot]

I'm pretty sure it has code to hold you.

[Nyr]

I'm pretty sure it has code to hold you.

Confirmed.

[Desertman]

My mistake. I know at one point it didn't. Sounds like a good change.

[Nyr]

It always has.

[Desertman]

It always has.

Huh. Very interesting. I assumed it did, and fled from it once wondering if I could escape...I did...but was informed I shouldn't have. I just always assumed it didn't actually hold you since you weren't supposed to try and get away from it. I just assumed it was a, "You are held, even if it isn't codedly held, so....just sit there.".

I'd recommend reviewing that incident because you may be misremembering what occurred and why it was problematic.

No, I know why it was problematic after the fact. That isn't what I'm saying.

I just always assumed since I was able to get away that I was never codedly held by the thing, which is why I said above, "I know it doesn't hold you." (which is apparently incorrect). As for that incident, I fled fully expecting to be told I wouldn't be able to move..(while simultaneously hoping there was an escape artist code chance in place or something)..and then much to my surprise I did heh.

It does hold you.

If someone lets you off of it, you're not held anymore.

[Inks]

That's a cool piece of code, thanks.
