I could maybe get behind this idea, but I'm not convinced it is important enough to put ahead of other projects that could be worked on instead.

In the real world, catching, convicting and punishing criminals is expensive and time consuming. If you remove the costs of gathering evidence, the chance that the suspect is innocent (or might be found not guilty) and the costs of storing the convicts then you have a very biased system with no incentive to give anything less than the maximum allowable penalty.


This is not the real wold though, in which I owe about 10k euro to Credit Cards and loans and so on. This is a fantasy world where I want to have fun,l not get a third job to get money for the Cabal/Tribunal...

P l e a s e :(

In the real world, state employees take money from the government. If SK tribunals were more like RL, they would tax the non-members and the tribunal members would draw a salary.

Was a state employee ever expected to donate his own money to the state? Tribunals just need to come up with more creative ways to "raise revenue." Taxes, fees, etc. Sales tax, hunting licences, weapons registration, mentor certification, food purity grading. You can learn a lot about how governments can grab power and become self-enlarging just by looking at the real world.

if a person gets 100 days a jaill then they are a darkie no doubt.. probably killed mad people.. and for it got their entire bank account wiped and their 1337 enchanted suit of addy/energy stripped clean. Punishment enuff.

If the jailed had a bunch of obsidian in his account to begin with, and then the tribunal gets another 25 for taking away the jail time.. you have one poor, naked, pissed off darkie.

Does this mean I score brownie points for accidentally killing a criminal and finding his death punishment enough so I pardoned him????

(Whoever the player is, I am soooooooooooooo sorry about that!!!! Mode stun somehow got turned off, I'm blaming a recent death. :()

Oh well, if D is behind it, count me in. Anything to shorten time spent in jail.

Jail sucks so much.

No yelling, junking, greeting, etc.
