Is it that hard to serve jail time? :-?

Can't do the time, don't do the crime?

I hate this argument. Characters should be punished for their crimes, yes, but not the players who are correctly playing their alignments. Some kind of compromise that puts the character out of commission without totally screwing the player is in order. Cities should be relatively safe, but the MUD would be boring without people breaking the law.

Nope. I just don't break that many laws. If you're going to go on mad killing sprees, I just don't see why you shouldn't be held responsible for it.

Sorry you hate the argument Muktar, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't a valid one. Even if not serving jail time is part of your character's RP, all that means is your character is going to have to deal with the appropriate consequences for his or her actions. It's like saying, "I'm a Thubanite, I shouldn't be tarnished for trying to overthrow my cabal's leader. It's my RP."

As has been said before. Jail time is an OOC punishment for IC actions. If Jail time is supposed to be an IC punishment, make it so that jail time passes while logged out. It makes no IC sense for it NOT TO PASS. Unless we're gonna change it so that my character only ages while logged on.

As if you'd play a char till age death anyway. :lol:

Oh, just you wait. As I have already said multiple times. It is on like Donkey Kong.

Just a bit of friendly advice, I would recommend everybody in the CoN delete, so they don't have to go through a massive amount of QQ. =P

You're just jealous of us who age death. It's a trick. No one in the Black Hand is allowed to delete. Ever.

And we even stay as ghosts for extended periods after age death to manifest every now and then and RP with others.

This is eliteness. *nods sagely*

Hey, Jhorleb/Krager here, not Muktar :-?

Syn already suggested why your analogy might not be the best here - jail is currently much more of an OOC punishment.

Cheers,
