Posted here to educate people on the server prior to or post joining it, and to get the word out.
Welcome!And thanks for taking interest in the [AE] Premium Jail RP, hosted and built by Ascii Events clan leader IcyGamma. When hosted, those who join the server take part in a structured roleplay environment in which officers look after and monitor prisoners. Unlike most other Jail RP servers, officers are made to treat prisoners with a more realistic approach, resorting to guns only when appropriate. As for prisoners, escaping the building thus scoring a win for the prisoner team is just one aspect of the RP.
The idea is that, other smaller RP stories may develop. Each character acts their role, and can influence the overall story of the RP. For example, a Blocklander "hauntis" became a high security prisoner and became a priority cellmate who was escorted everywhere he went. He would cause trouble, letting prisoners free and causing havoc within the grounds. On a separate story, player "Fate" decided to act in good behavior. She would spend her time staring at walls, eventually befriending the officers leader and gaining access to offlimit areas for more wall staring.... a great way to get to places around the prison and smuggle items.
You will have less fun if you don't have the IcyBot soundpack. It is a vital addon to the Jail RP. This greatly improves gameplay and creates a more cinematic experience. Downloading sounds on connect is slow for both the server and you, so its best to get it manually, install it, then restart Blockland and reconnect. Download it here. What Do I Do?Officers: Your role is to monitor the grounds, ensure prisoners are allowed access to applicable rooms, and keep an eye on suspicious activity. The officer team leader may give out orders to help keep the jail running smoothly. Cameras and alarm systems are setup to help monitor the area and alert other officers of where the danger is at, in the event of an emergency.
Prisoners: Your role is to live your life in the cells. The officers will let you out, but you'll be watched closely. You may roam the grounds, socialize with other prisoners, dine at the kitchen, take a shower, or look for clues and search boxes to see if anything of use comes along. If it all gets too much, you may wish to flee the prison with an escape plan-- but you don't have to.
Code Of BehaviorYou or others may be removed from the RP if:
- Officers start to freekill or randomly attack with little reason
- Officers or prisoners harass players
- Officers or prisoners have poor RP skills, i.e, dying constantly, screaming about things, ruining the storyline with attention seeking antics
- An officer repeatedly sets off false alarms within the building
- An officer tries to use the prisoner escape (new players who are officers may test the escape system, only if they abort the escape with the nearby red button)
- As a prisoner, you begin to beg to be let free from a cell or spam the chat with shouting
Player Procedures Officers have the right to kill if:
- A prisoner possess a weapon or item that he / she shouldn't, and is refusing to drop it even after being prompted several times
- A prisoner attacks an officer
- A prisoner refuses to move from an off-limits area
- A prisoner persistently refuses to follow reasonable orders from an officer
- A prisoner runs after being told to stop
- A prisoner attempts to leave a cell when he / she is under lockdown
- A prisoner is caught in area 9, the outside escape route
In the event of a major breach of protocol, i.e, a prisoner has a gun or is attacking others, officers should hit a nearby alarm system with their keys (which looks like a floating button with a question mark below it) which will set off Code Red, alerting all officers to come and give you support. All officers are expected to attend Code Red alarms, unless they are already occupied by an important job (such as monitoring a high risk prisoner).
In the event of a prisoner escaping, all officers are expected to run to the offices and get to the exit, shooting down any prisoner in the area or any prisoners that try to get in their way. There is a 20 second window to catch the escaping offender.
