It's funny because you might just as well make a TDM where 1 team can't use their guns and the other team has to wait to get guns and then shoot the helpless other people.

The entire concept of jail rpg is stupid. 

Agreed vividly.

The key part of that which you neglected for the purposes of making a seemingly witty rebuttal was "TO FUNCTION" - a Blockland server works fine without an administrator present. Stop being an idiot.
Function != function properly. Imagine a soccer/football/basketball/hockey game without a refferee.

F's are so overused, why not space it up with a little g's?
Try pronounciating it out loud.

It's better to stress a sound that doesn't make you sound like a diseased motorboat.

You just completely called your game broken.

You are stupid.

In jail rpg, you are asked politely to not kill freely, to only do it when it fits the "spirit" of the game.

In any game if you can simply choose to not follow the set rules, then there's something wrong with it.

Video games aren't sports, the rules should always be forced on the player. Unless otherwise intended.

Edit: Removed extra intended, that wasn't intended.

^Totally agreed.^

Blockland is broken?

I don't think you understand. His point was that a game that has the administrator controlling everything is a broken game. Blockland servers can still function without an admin save a few ones like Jail RPs.

"Admin approves /Cough function!"

And in all honesty, jail rps are really, really loving stupid. I don't think the people who host them completely understand what a jail is. In real life jail cells, the prison guards don't just loving shoot prisoners. And there's never a loving hole leading outside in any cell.

And why the hell is there always a revolver in close proximity to the prisoners? And how the forget do prisoners start out with butterfly knives?

In that case he's right.


Your being a real suck up.

Fine call me one. But Rotondo said what I was trying to explain... -_-

I disagree with the point that a game is bad if it cannot always function without an administrator.

ALL us know that. It's just fun being a prisoner and getting a small chance of owning and escaping. And for the guards, its fun to teamchat to your team mates and try to keep the prisoners from escaping.

You should write a story.
Don't worry, I am working on one on and off, but I am going to start a new one about if JailRps were real.

Its still useless. We all know Blockland jails are just made for the fun of it, not for the realism.

My JailRP concept has a "Wanted" status for prisoners.  If a guard shoots a prisoner that is not wanted, one of two things will happen:
 - If "invinclible prisoners" is turned on, it will do nothing
 - If "invincible prisoners" is disabled, it will add to the guard's demerits.  If this shooting causes the death of the prisoner, the guard will be automatically put up for a voteslay, possibly killing them for the rest of the round.

Also: Guards can still manage unwanted prisoners by using handcuffs to send a prisoner back to spawn.  The handcuffs have a long regeneration time to avoid abuse.

No admins required to enforce basic rules.  All problems with JailRP solved.
