[Suggestion] Status, Gang's and Programs

[Arailies]

Hello,

Escape mode seems a bit bland at its current state, so perhaps some extra and familiar features could make it much easier or harder.

1. Status system: As you gain more reputation points, more of the prison respects you, including guards. This could mean that prisoners help you randomly or that a guard that respects you too ignore a misdeed. However the main focus i'd say is if there is a gang present in the Prison, which the higher your rep is for them, the less they tax you while in their faction controlled areas, as well as help you fight while in their controlled area too.

2. Gang's: We all love and hate gangs, and the best part of escape mode to make it a challenge is to be part of a gang by creating or joining one. This could mean that you could cause the entire prison to escape by getting a rocking riot going to close the prison or by being targeted by another gang to make it more urgent to escape before you get killed like those snitches.

3. Programs: Once needs are in the escape mode, it would be nice to join the programs of education, work and everything else, as though your one of the other prisoners using and interacting with weights, desks, saws and creating a more immersive and challenging experience to steal contraband and other goodies to escape.

If any of this has been mentioned before now, I don't want to infringe anything, only to have the possibility to add to the pool.

You can already do number 2 'partially' A member of a gang usually a lieutenant may 'recruit' you into their gang if certain conditions are meant, and you meet the requirements to join that gang (Skin Color/Hair Type/Etc). However you still can't do anything once your in other then just having the tattoos and going naked when you get into trouble. However would be nice if in the future you could earn rep by partaking in 'plays' or helping fellow gang members out during fights. Also if your in a gang, the no friendly fire should apply to all in the gang you are part of to prevent mishaps. Also have a higher chance that other gangs may attack you without provoking them (random).

If a gang is about to 'assimilate' you, a member of the gang will go out of their way and approach you, including if you are handcuffed off en-route to lock-up or solitary (not once your there). You could also be minding your own business and a gang member will approach you. Your avatar prisoner will slow to a crawl for several seconds, and then you'll get the tattoos of the gang that recruited you. Getting recruited into a gang however as mentioned above is highly random, and often times you'll never be recruited/assimilated.
