:::Sios' Jail Cell Modifications Suggestion::: :::Sections:::: + Brief Overview. ++ Suggestion. +++ Brief Summary. :::Brief Overview::: This is just an introduction as to what the "Jail" feature is in EcoCityCraft. This section covers my knowledge of the EcoCityCraft jail [having been inside it for roughly 7 minutes] and what others users need to know about it. However this section is completely optional as it's only information on the current Jail System that other users may have not known about it. The Jail System in EcoCityCraft is located in between the North and West Gate of the spawn zone. It's to the left of Andrew's mansion from the point of view of looking AT the mansion. The jail cell flooring is 56 blocks of grass. The outer area of the jail cell facing spawn is guarded by 68 fences. These fences meet against the spawn area's smooth stone walls. The ceiling on the confinding cell is made up of 56 iron blocks and leave 3 spaces of room to jump to your heart's content. You can check your time remaning in jail by typing: /jailstatus and if you were to try to "break" any piece of the jail, a minute extra will be added onto your current time. [Images of the cell will be posted at the end of the thread.] :::Suggestion::: The suggestion I had in mind was to create a hole in the grass and have any source of water flow to the edge of a block [pushing an user off the edge of the block. Off the edge of the block would be a pool of lava, that will - If the user does not move at all, will kill the user. My idea is to have this lava kill any inactive players and add more extra minutes to their jail sentence. Death for any user in the jail cell with ultimately have them teleported back to restart their water flow excercise. :::Brief Summary::: The idea behind that suggestion is to make each individual actually pay for their crimes and making jail seem more like an actual punishment. Currently any user can just go afk out of Minecraft to do something to kill time while in the jail cell, however this shouldn't be the whole reason behind jail. I believe the user should be punished by forcing them to stay inside their Minecraft client and ACTUALLY do their jail time by running up the water's flow, to avoid death and ultimately, extra time on the clock. :::Images of Jail [as of July 27,2011]:::
lol i like how Potato is on 3 of the pictures, and dinoman on 2 xD also, i agree. Someone can easily go and do something else while in jail
You should figure out the way to make the direction of where the water changes so someone wouldnt just leave a weight on thr key to keep them moving forward
It does sound like a good idea... There will be complaints though... But do they get a say if they're in jail in the first place? *Ponders...
Making it so you can't be AFK sounds cool...I like, but it also sounds annoying, because if you are AFK when you get jailed, you will continue getting more and more time until it's infinite........
But like I said earlier... Do people who end up getting jailed have a right to complain about the jail they get put in? <_< Or a second jail, for worse crimes? I dunno...
One thing I thought of is just taping down their "w" or the relitive one, and just going on their phone, or doing something irl.
But that's a bit more effort than doing nothing.... And what happens if their jail time ends before they get back? Could walk into water or something
Two jails. One for minor things, that is like the current jail. Major things, like starting of exploit abuse, more major grief, etc. could be lava jail... Sounds extremely cruel to me, would get complaints, but it makes some sense. Would hopefully make people realize how much they really did do wrong, without just insta bans or something.
andy you should make like a prison with more than 1 cell and if they are gonna be banned have some fun and kill em like drop em in a lava pit in the jail then ban him or just make a normal prison diffent cells for different crimes
