Hey everyone! Let us begin by speaking about in game incarceration. I recently turned myself in to another kingdom as there were no trib members to try to parlay with. As you can see I got nearly eight days of jail time which is 4 REAL HOURS. With the jail code being changed so you can hardly do anything at all inside your cell, we can all admit that in game jail is awful. I found it necessary when the pbase was high and full of active PKers and tribunal members with the ability to pardon or parole. I also turned myself in and was shown no leniency for that either. I understand if your response is just ' get broken out of jail ' and maybe that is what will happen eventually but I have always felt that it seems excessive to punish someone for hours to sit around and do nothing pretty much or log out for long enough that the sentence is served.

“If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.”
“Can’t stand the heat, stay out the kitchen.”

I’m not quite sure how parole works. Don’t your crimes diminish over time?
If there are no active leaders in a tribunal, it might be cool to set up some kind of auto-parole system. Perhaps you could apply for it in Teron’s Embassies? It would still keep you away from the city for a while. So it’s not like crimes have no meaning or whatever.
