[A] Event-based prison RP Guild: The Stockades

Shamelessly advertising my newest project, a guild based on day to day life inside the Stockades.

For simplicity, much of the RP will happen outside the actual instance, in locations like the basements of the various Alliance keeps. The guild's RP will mainly be event-based, by pre-planned RP evenings, so that alts also can take part.

RP would be pretty simple, everyday business inside the walls, getting desirable objects into the prison, breaking temporary inmates (read other RPers who have gotten arrested) out of prison, having Silence of the Lambs/Criminal Minds-interviews with the city guards, contacting lawyers to appeal to court, councillors, or judges for freedom, and perhaps, one day RPing the prisoner returned to society.

To keep it fun, the guild would have a majority of long-sentence prisoners, arsonists, cultists, various degrees of murderers (although, serial killers would have to be exceptionally well written to get a spot) and violent offenders. Forbidden magic too perhaps?

If succesful, a concept like this could add a lot to the justice system, first and foremost prison sentences that aren't "You can't get RP until you conveniently break out in a day or two", but with luck, also to the guard guilds "police-like" sides. Crime scene investigations would be more fun if you have a pool of established usual suspects (such as former inmates), just like "profiling" from said crime scenes might be possible.

For larger events, perhaps the cells are having the yearly cleaning and the inmates are escorted one at a time to the Command Center or a similiar location, allowing them to interact with more than a dungeon group at a time etc.

Wardens to rule the prison with an iron hand, psychiatrist-style healers to try to get inside the criminal's mind, as well as regular ones for medical checks would also be insanely cool, but perhaps not necessary to start with.

TLDR:
Basicly, some crossover between a prison and Arkham Asylum (as seen in the video games, not the movies), as well as a livable punishment for criminal RPers from other enviroments who get caught, is what I'm thinking of.

The guild is at the moment lead by my character Theodorìc with a funny "i".

First RP night some time like 16th of march, 19:00 till we get bored.


Please keep as much of the commenting as possible on the threads on the Realm Forum and the Role-Playing Forum

So where is this going to be located, since as said in the previous thread, the Stockades themselves are very limiting with a 5player cap.

Gotta check some of the prison cells in the Alliance keeps out, to see where they fit our needs best (and preferably, aren't used by others).

Goddammit... wont be around for that, but very interested in the concept... ill contact you ingame.

I'm thinking of making it a regular thing, say on thursdays or sundays (or both, if it proves fun), to make things predictable both for inmates and the community as a whole.

Any thoughts on that?

So.. this will be a evening on which all SW prisoners and a share of SW guards are transported to the prison OOCly and RP? Or will it be an isolated event with all chars made for the occasion?
I think I know, just asking.

Awh, I'd love this one, not sure if I have time to start a new character but perhaps an excisting one could be sent there? Wouldn't mind having a certain Sergeant sent back to prison for a long, long time..

Yeah, I'm sure I have an alt for this 'swell. I'll see if I'm availible, and if there's nothing up, I'll join in.
