Please read and rate and bump
if you would like to see these types of options happen thank you to all who do!

My suggesstion is...
Would be nice to have something in place for jail options...
of balance and reduce jail time of extreme cost of buyouts, yet
still removing game funds as needed maybe by more users more often.
rather than hoping someone can do a bust soon so you can play again or your caught
without much funds on hand and have no friends or online players to help a player out
at time needed.

example: Jail times over 10 hours or higher and costs exceeding 3 million or more

Gives options to players to try to help themselves to keep playing.
keeping currant options as well.
Does not effect other options such as jail break yourself
Does not effect Education course bonuses as obviously you can only use one bonus
or option at a time.



Player chooses Option 1
Bribe a guard to reduce jail time with a fee of 500,000.
Guard steps into warden's office while he's out and tampers with your file.

Possible result examples:
1. Your time is reduced to ? time left in jail.
Guard says see you again soon, Do bring your wallet...

2. Guard gets caught and is fired 0 change in your jail time.
Oh well we tried he states, sorry no refunds.

3. A quick slip of a pen by a witty guard and
oh look we over looked your realise time sorry, your free to go!

4. Appeal was over turned, you must wait 30 mins to try again the Judge is
very busy you know!


Player chooses option 2
Have your lawyer appeal your jail sentence with a fee of 400,000
Your lawyer gains a quick meeting with a Judge,
siteing the case had an unfair sentence and should be re-determined.

Possible result examples:
1. You have your lawyer enter an appeal of not guilty do to insanity.
The judge agrees states you should be in a hospital not here.
You are transfered to hospital with ? time to be observed and treated.

2. On appeal, The Judge determines your lawyer to be a Shyster reports your Lawyer
to the bar.
but does feel you were unfairly sentenced.
He reduces your sentence time to?

3. On appeal your lawyer proves there was not enough suffient evidence
to warrant your arrest in the first place.
Judge comments: Warning,I had better not see you in my court room again!
The case is thrown out your free to go.

4. Appeal was over turned, you must wait 30 mins to try again the Judge is
very busy you know!



Player chooses Option 3

You kick your lawyer to the curb and decide to handle your own appeal.
it is far less costly in your mind. You pay a fee of 300,000.


Possible result examples:
1. In your appeal the Judge determines from information given,
you have a fatal illness and should serve time out in hospital rather than jail.
Careful... Nurses are not pretty here and the doctors are Quacks.
You are transfered to a guarded medical facility in hospital,
with no change in time to serve there.

2. On appeal you claim your going to rehab and promise never to do it again,
you've learned your lesson.
The Judge is a sucker for someone trying to rehabilitate and help themselves.
Ok everyone makes mistakes but your trying, so i'll give you a break this one time!
your sentence is reduced by ?

3. On appeal you were able to prove they caught the wrong guy,
evidence you were able to obtain has proven you are innocent.
You are hereby released, all charges are dropped and your free to go.


4. Appeal was over turned, you must wait 30 mins to try again the Judge is
very busy you know!


add:
scooooter [227224]i like it makes a nice change like all the outcomes, maybe one should include you being deported to another country to serve your time

Bump and R+

I still think we need the option to attack other people in jail and have a separate set of jail crimes.

But hey, who listens to me, right?

The present jail system is insane....busting is ridiculously too hard...I've wasted more nerve trying to bust long hour, middle level players. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of Nerve to try and self bust...about like kidnapping mayor for success rates for self busting...though I haven't tracked them I am feeling it's lower.

Having been a buster for years I wonder what Ched's thinking. Increasing difficulties of busting, bail fees, and time in jail, I see many people saying screw this, there is nothing to do for the next 6 to 10 hours, so I am going somewhere else to spend my money and time.

Something needs to be done if this system remains....at least give players something they can do to keep their interest in the game while in jail at the least...otherwise Torn will be losing folks for sure.

I see Lile's suggestions at least a step in the right direction.

Rated + and bump it up.

PS. I still bust, and do what I can to free folks in jail and online...I am fine with the busting update, but the biggest losers from the busting update are the risky crimes doers that get jailed. Making it that much harder to make money in Torn if they choose the bail route, which most newer players can't afford.

Keep them interested in the game or lose them as players. As simple as that Ched.

Hmm. I have no problems busting people with 6-8 hours sentence. Lile's suggestions are good but should be more expensive.
400,000... it's like nothing...
