[Suggestion]Parole

Postby wUndertUnge » Tue Jul 09, 2013 4:55 am

So I was thinking about all the times I've busted my prisoners for contraband or other behavior, and I did see the bar. It doesn't really seem to have an effect on anything (or does it?). In any case, it led me to the idea of having parole hearings for your prisoners. I don't know how to get it into the current build in a way that actually makes it rewarding for the player and/or the prisoner.

In any case, just off the cuff...

If parole was a possibility, you would have prisoners behaving when their time is near, other prisoners "baiting" them and trying to cause the prospective parolees to lose their temper and hence their parole chances, and the possibility of "snitches". The idea is good I believe, but there will be consequences and side effects. Bring it on.

I think the simplest way to implement it would be to mark on each prisoners sentence bar the time when they will be released (on parole), and then each misconduct ould push their release closer to the true end of their sentence (with injury being a bigger penalty than contraband etc.)

If you look at the bar there is a Parole line/time. This will be implemented in a later Alpha, it currently does not work.

There are already 40 [yes, I counted] other threads that discuss paroles. Why start another?

Sorry. I thought I was being brilliant, but obviously everyone and their mom and the developer's mom has already thought of this.

You said "mum". That's adorable.

If we were in jail together, I'd let you be my prison wife.
