Jail time and IC punishments....

[Destinysdesire]

Thank you for the constructive feedback Arawn (sorry about the spelling), and you make very valid points. I just feel that if it is not warranted or it is something that may take a fair bit of time...Such as at currently, 4 RL hours...(though I know the players are doing what they can and this is in no way bashing the players!) some alternate considerations be given such as my post above giving some suggestions that can be used to continue rp for the players.

They could execute you and put you in the Vault. Be out for more than 40 minutes, I'll tell you that. Likely weeks, or months. And depending on the crime it's a punishment they actually use.

I was executed and in the Charnel house where NO ONE can even get to me...so...its already seeming more and more frustrating.

Charnel House can be broken into, just need to have the right type of PC who's got the right item.

The Vault is locked behind several plot-locked Garda only doors.

There are so many people that have been stuffed in that little house and nearly, maybe ALL of them, have gotten out or been broken out.

But hey, you aren't in jail anymore.

There are in-character consequences for actions. If you wish to play an antagonistic criminal then you either should accept said consequences or play in a way such that your wrongdoings are not discovered and disclosed, or avoid being caught by those responsible for enforcing the law. There will always be OOC consequences stemming from IC consequences such as this; IE being executed, being murdered by other characters and having your corpse hidden, etc. The two are inseparable without compromising the integrity of the server's roleplay.

You also need to accept that maybe no-one wants to come and retrieve your character's remains.

Actually....people do....but the DCs are set fairly high...so yeah..

That's by design, to prevent an Arkham Asylum type revolving door for villains and criminals. Either hope that your allies are capable of contracting someone who can free your character or accept that you're not getting out.

That post was less than 3 hours than your previous one so it's not like people have had a lot of time anyways. 

BUT

This was a thread created to discuss, in a broad sense, alternatives to jail time because you perceived jail time as too harsh of a consequence for IC actions, right?  So it should be about that, and not a play-by-play of the IC circumstances surrounding your PC.  Though I'm with Arawn here, there's not really much more to say.  You shared your thoughts, and other people sort of shared how it is.  This really shouldn't become the "My character is still in the charnel house, please take pity on my plight and break me out" thread.

I think this thread has reached its goal and everything that had to be said, we're also diverging from the original topic quite a bit and turning into something else, hence I'll be locking this for now.
