Shattered Kingdoms

Jail is one of the worst mechanics in the game in my opinion. Sure it deters, but it's not fun. You literally have more than 20 days and it takes forever to serve a sentence. My opinion personally, is that anything after 5 days in jail should be instant execution. The only difference is this would step all over Nerina being an anti death sentence nation and their RP there.

It doesn't take long to rack up enough crimes to where you're spending OOC days in jail at all. Especially between warring factions. There needs to be some limit to it because as it is now, it doesn't deter conflict. People just delete and reroll.

What, exactly, does jail time deter?

Nothing, it is too easy to break out of jail, so even that makes no impact.

I love the mentality. "I have these items and they are not overpowered because there is a slight chance in hell I get caught, so I can do whatever I want." people do whatever they want then "Well this punishment is too harsh for what I did, lessen it."

It's like everyone wants to do stuff without having any consequences.

Edit: I forgot the whole excuse "well it's no fun to sit in jail!" Tough. It's no fun to be constantly gangraped by the same individual who loots you and spreads your gear in places you can't get to. It's no fun spending HOURS getting your gear back and then getting gang raped again by the same character.

Grow up.

Wait I got the answer "Don't play!"

I am actually reminded by Elder scroll games. How about an option to quickly serve your sentence to have a random skill(s) be unlearned (how much depends on time)?

I'd also like to take this moment to say that the Thuban religious spell is OP.

FFFUUUUUUUUUU

The only real problem here is that the warparty needs to be wimped, or others need be buffed.


Edoras getting charmed and sent to prison...well thats his own fault.

The warparty is one thing. The jail itself is insurmountably more dangerous than any other jail in any other kingdom.

This.

I also think jail sentences should be capped. No character should have to spend more than 12-18 hours RPing being in jail. Remember that collar thing Ain made for Faerti? That was cool. And, if jail sentences are reduced, maybe repossession and bank levy fines could go up in its place?

Also there's actually some cool RP opportunities available if you agree to let a character out of jail, but I doubt anyone could get two enemy characters (or worse, enemy players!) to agree to it. I imagine lighties sitting through torture sessions instead of sitting in darkie jails, and darkies sitting through lectures and inquisitions instead of sitting in lightie jails.

OR don't break the law 50million times and cry because jail terms are too long.

Can't believe how obtuse some people are in their view of the world.
