What's wrong with the Jail RPs hosted?
Sleven:
What's wrong is: They are called RPs and mostly have the same freedom as an RP have but seeing the game have a strict goal, to basically win, it no longer can be called an RP as people won't fullfill a role, only try to achieve a goal. Don't know why people refer to call em JailRPs. Having a different name such as Prison Escape (like Tezuni does) is way more accurate. Just calling it a TDM is also off seeing a Prison Escape contains different elements that the ordinary TDM do not have.

How could it work if it was a full RP? I mean you could have other teams like garbage collectors or visitors but what would they do in the mean time when there's no garbage collection or visitors day?
King Kaiiu:
tezuni's jail rp is so successful because it's actually fun. it has its flaws though. a good jail rp should encourage prisoners actually working together.
TheArmyGuy:
I supply 24/7 administration, a build that many call 'great', and only have to ban people once every 2 hours or so for freekilling.
Yet I only get around 10 players on weekdays with tezuni's being full. That's extremely discouraging, so I just stop hosting.
Also, only default styled weapons such as the Sniper Rifle and the Assault Rifle.
Bisjac:
same thing thats wrong with every rp and dm.
way way to many mods. you should pick out like 4 or 5 guns and a special item that all balance well. dont try to spam the game with 50 similar crap like everyone else.
or you can come up with a new idea. jail rps have been done to death.
