Short description: Prisoner purses.
Detailed description: Due to the newly released prisoner system I have come up with the suggestion to influence prisoner trading and selling of goods inside of the walls through the means of using their money they get from working in the kitchens and other jobs in and around the prison to add into a little “prisoner purse” lets call it.
I believe when a new inmate enters the prison, they shouldn’t need to see their old bank money in the top right of their screen, it’s redundant. You can’t have access to it anyways, you should come into the prison walls with nothing but a fresh $0 and this is now your prison wallet, earning small amounts of money done by completing prisoner assigned roles and jobs by the Correctional Officers.
This would turn trading, bartering and buying/selling to a whole new level, it’s something that happens in modern day prisons and it also gives an acceptable advantage to allow illegal role play to flow behind the walls, because lets say you need some protection from a rival gang and don’t want to get up into gang politics if you have that option, no harm in being made to either pay protection money or even in the form of sweet goods brought with your hand earn money to please your protection detail whilst under custody.
Now, I know some concern would be that some inmates only spend X amount of minutes or days inside, this would heavily influence the “lifers” that have volunteered to sign up to be confined to prison life Permanently but I feel it also engages those serving less time, giving them the opportunity to work and earn whilst confined to prison life, exploring all ends and opportunities of role play.
Obviously upon release you’ll have full access to your previous full bank account, just not when you’re inside the prison facility.
Commands to add: Unsure on the exact commands.
Items to add: Prison goods, individual items to trade and separate money section for the prison purse.
How would your suggestion improve the server? I believe this would improve the whole realism of prison life, bartering and trading is nothing uncommon in modern life when you’re in prison. But on the more important topic the prison has had a large amount of time placed into it to make it the success it currently is. Unfortunately like many other things, if people are restricted to their own imaginations when it comes to passive RP it only attracts a small crowd of roleplayers and the vast amount appear not interested. I want to suggest this to keep the spark going, keeping prison life active as an almost mini-city that it is. If people have a reason to log on, interact and have fun with their RP we will see more activity and less people logging out to wait for their jail timer to decrease.
Additional information: None as of now.
