What's wrong with the Jail RPs hosted?

[Blockzillahead]

If anyone here has played mine i'd like to hear some things I can do to improve.

To be honest yours was near perfect. It just needs more ways to escape. Once you have a key you're basically unstoppable.

Also I don't remember exactly but kill messages ruin everything. If you kill a guard who's alone, no one else should know about it, and if the Guard snitches while dead they could get kicked/banned.

They're not Jail RPs; they're jail-themed TDMs with easy, predictable and unskilled access to weapons provided to a team called "prisoners". Then you have people (read: Tezuni) who try and fail to improvise the TDM by adding things that don't belong in a jail.

What do you mean? Of course there are rocket launchers and invisibility watches in a jail!

It'd be equally as fun to sit around all day obeying every single order people give you and nothing else, right?

The worst thing about Jail RPs is the idea and the administration.
Prisoners are let out of their cells without a valid reason, all the guards freekill, admins don't care, and prisoners escape.

[RaR]

The fact that's not an RP. It's a 'wait until prisoners gets guns then TDM!!!!!!!' and then everyone screams and cries unholy murder freekill when they die.

Freekilling and the way the administration handles it.
Administration.
Build.
Gameplay.

Pretty much everything, including the host calling it a "rp."

I was thinking of doing something along the likes of a Warden Jail RP.

Someone of the guard team is chosen as Warden, he gives the orders and if they aren't followed, Guards can kill prisoners.

So if he says that once the cell doors open and you aren't standing at a wall or something, Guards will shoot you.

If the Warden is killed, it's a free-day and everyone gets to do whatever and don't have to follow anyone's orders.

Maybe a bunch of mini-games like Simon says, last reaction or even hide-and-seek.

Last prisoner alive gets a Last Request. He can say "I choose freeday for me and that guy" and they are the only ones to get that freeday in the next round, Wardens can't touch them.

Also small rules like no free-shooting allowed, or camping on a prisoner who didn't do anything just because he's 'suspicious'.

Don't worry it's called "jail escape" now everything's normal!!!

blah blah blah
Simon says
blah blah blah

no offense but
i really hate it when guards force you to play games

it's just a way to kill prisoners "legitamately" for "not following the game"

it really doesn't help that literally EVERY GUARD DOES THIS WITH YELLOWZONE

Jail's have trash.
Therefore, they have dumpsters
or dumpster trucks which pick up all the trash in the dumpsters
prisoners can pretend to be trash and get picked up by the dumpster truck
escape is achieved
unless of course he dies under the weight of all that trash

digging tunnels out of your cell with a SPOON is cool
sort of like pload's jail escape, having you chip your way out of the jail.

kill a guard and steal their clothing

build a bomb out of cards and junk and bust your way out of there

the possibilities are just endless

make it so the cell doors automatically open after 5 seconds
so we don't have to wait for the guards to do that

Anyway, one more thing.
make the jail on an island with sharks around it
call it alcatraz
it'd be badass

putting it in alcatraz puts in more possibilities
like building a rowboat to sail away from
or hijacking a boat
or having a school of sharks as pets attack the guards

I support all of these ideas for a JailRP, but you also don't want the prisoners to overpower the guards.
