I think that tribunal members should get a command called "trib inmates" that gives a list of all the currently imprisoned PCs and time remaining, offline or online (Offline will report the time they had remaining last time they were online, due to how the code seems to work), and automatically fires upon login. It's annoying as a trib member to not realize that someone is in YOUR jail until it's too late to stop their breaking out party.

It doesn't affect a large amount of the pbase, but it seems that it would have minimal coding. Even just a list of the online players that are currently in the jail room would be nice.

Discuss.

Totally! A command that can be used on a wanted stunned criminal to carry out their sentence, and you get to keep all of the confiscated items!

EDIT: oops...I think we just derailed this thread.

Yeah, but I want a command that does all that for me and works when I'm not a sorc.

EDIT: perhaps a new thread should be started...

EDIT 2: I ain't doin it.

You can guess as to who is in jail by randomly paroling/unparoling the who list while standing in the Judge's office with the door being spam closed by someone.

I seriously don't give two shits if someone gets arrested. Unless it is gliknok or one of your characters. Only the hopelessly annoying deserve to be jailed.

Actually, even when the person is in jail, their wanted poster is still up, so you can condense your list to just the ones on the outlaw list.

I like this idea. You can have another outlaw command. Currently this is what you get with the outlaw commands:

Code:
[Laws help] outlaw jail crime
 
Syntax: outlaw memory   (list crimes witnessed)
        outlaw list     (list wanted criminals)*
        outlaw <number> (to report a crime)*
        outlaw laws     (to view laws)*
 
If you are the witness to a crime, you may report the criminal to the local
judge, outlawing the criminal.  (*) To do so, you must actually visit the
magistrate and speak to him or her directly.
 
The vagabonds, murderers, and thieves that find themselves outlawed in a
country will be hunted down whenever they are within that kingdom's borders.
The more crimes they have commited, the more likely it is that someone will
catch up to them and attempt to claim the bounty for them by killing them.
 
The legal system is somewhat slow at times, so if you are not having much
luck speaking to the Judge or Magistrate of a certain country, you might
wish to get a hold of the local thieves organization, as they are well
known for being adept at avoiding the consequences of their actions.
 
A more reputable person may wish to contact the relevant tribunal, and
(C)ontinue - (R)efresh - (B)ack - (H)elp - (Q)uit [RETURN]:c

initiate discussions for a possible pardon.  Though not always guaranteed,
is one of the few ways to avoid serving jail time, apart from breaking out
of jail of course.



I think you should be able to able to go to any judge in your kingdoms, and type Outlaw captured or Outlaw incarcerated and the judge will list off the names of any person in jail in that kingdom and the time remaining on their sentance.

Simple as that. Ofcourse this should be limited to tribunal members of that kingdom only. That's an idea I really like.

EDIT: I just realized something. The outlaw status command isn't in that helpfile. That should be fixed!

Code:
[HP:100%] [ME: 74%] [PE:100%]
> outlaw status
You are not a criminal in this land.



This is what I had to say in another thread made about the exact same topic.

Honestly it would not be that hard to just talk to your kingdom director and ask her to add a custom command on a wizi NPC in the room right in front of the jail to allow someone to get a simulated output from a look command within the jail itself, as if looking through a cell window or whatever.

If there are exit types such as "barred window" that do not allow ranged combat through them, just doing that might be even better.
