It's 3:14AM EST..
I'm a bit drunk, so bare with me..

I've been thinking of ways to lessen the stress on being a Prisoner.
As most of you know, I promote violence, alcohol, and extreme lenience in Jail.

So for anyone who always wanted to play as a Prisoner, but didn't like the fact they'd get killed after every game for losing, this is for you.

NUMBER ONE:
4 Corners + Sharks N Minnoss:
Instruct the Prisoners to line up against the 4 corners wall unstack and frozen. The Guard that options him/herself stands on the opposite side. Before 4 corners is initiated, the Prisoners play a game of Sharks N Minnos with the Guard. The winner of the Sharks N Minnos gets to choose one other Prisoner along with his/herself to stay out of 4 Corners AND command the next game.

NUMBER TWO:
Race with stipulations:
Instruct the Prisoners to complete race. Take the default winners. In StationX, this would be the 3 winners and all the losers go in the loser box. Have a Guard option his/herself into the loser box. The killing knife on the Guard gets a couple of options to choose from.

A) Choose his/herself to live only and kill the remaining losers.
B) Choose for everyone to live, at the cost of his/her own life.
C) Knife fight with a Guard. If the Prisoner wins, he/she takes the Guard's gun(s) and kills as much as he/she can before the other Guard's kill you. If the Guard does not have any weapons, you will not die.*

These are only two ideas..I'm sure I'll come up with more..But I'd really appreciate new ideas that anyone else has.

Again, I'm pretty drunk right now, but I tried to the best of my ability to make sense. If I don't, I apologize.

No ideas are dumb, do not post in this thread to bash on someone's idea. I can't guarantee your post will be removed, but I will try to the best of my ability to see to it. Plus, you don't wanna be THAT guy, do you? We can only have one Ric after all.

Please share this thread with your buddies and get it circulating, I'm sure Jail would love new ideas and more lenience/more fun for Prisoners.

Thanks for reading this.

*I'm not sure if this is allowed 100%. I'm sure it isn't, but it's pretty unique..I'll change it sometime later..

I think you should remove option C from the race idea

Haha. Originally, option C was going to be:
Give the Prisoner a loaded secondary.

But I forgot we can't gunplant secondaries anymore.

I'd like to see trivia return to jail. I know there was sometimes a pain-in-the-butt question that required you to go on google for, like, three seconds to get the answer but at least you could control your fate, unlike in couch games where it's completely random.
 
Jail needs better games such as Leap Frog, Solitary game where it acts as couch game, and warday!

May you explain what Leap Frog and Solitary game is?

I'd agree with a warday, if we could allow it once every four rounds or something like that. Else we'd just be playing Dust2 in Jail.

The only bad thing about Trivia is that people abused it. Trivia itself wasn't intolerable, but when people play it every single round and take out 55% of the Prisoners, it becomes annoying.

NUMBER THREE:
Couch game(Sorta) reversed with a jumping Guard:

Have all the Prisoners play couch game like normal, BUT the Prisoners must be facing the wall while couch game is being played, have a Guard option his/her self to jump on all the couches. If the Prisoners manage to kill the guard, whichever couch the Guard died on, all those Prisoners are excluded from death, even if they were on the couch chosen to die. If no one dies and only one Prisoner is on any couch, that Prisoner gets to command the next game AND sit out of it.

I would need clarification on whether these are allowed or not...

Hide and seek - T's hide. CT's seek. First [number] T's to be found die. ALL CT's wait in armory. Hiding in autowants makes you wanted, CT area's are allowed. It's hectic when its a full server, but its fun. Heck, if its allowed, even Kill All T's found within 90 seconds from start of the game; once its been 90 seconds, game is over and survivors can compete for lr with another game.

Last Reaction - Yes I know the game is banned over mic, but how about over text chat? I dont see why it wouldn't be as fair as race or any other command which includes you typing 'go' or w/e. So can this be done?

I could rant with so many different games but the only problem is that it needs to be built-in with the map, take for example... THIS ONE

Yes, the images are all for one single map, it's just too epic, I've played it, and it has TONS of games, there is no way in hell that T's can get bored with this map. Plus, its small compared to handofthrawn, it utilizes all the space with games.

Anywho...

Agreed, wardays as well as freedays can be fun. I think either a freeday or a warday can be given once per 4 rounds should be implemented. E.g. If you give a freeday, you must wait another 4 rounds before you can either give another freeday or a warday. In all honesty, freedays and wardays help release a lot of tension when people are getting freekilled. I dont see why it would be a problem if it is limited in conjunction with freedays.

And again agreed. When there were two jail servers still (from when i started playing jail), people used to ask alot of opinionated questions and they used to play it for over 4 minutes to kill nearly all the T's. But who says we cant limit this with the 65% rule. Plus to ask factual questions like "What is the capital city of England?", "Name a pc game that begins with the letter K" or w/e - point is, make it factual based rather than personal/opinionated and apply the 65% rule.

PS: I've noticed sharks and minnows not being played at all, has this been banned? O.o

BRING BACK MARBLES!!!

I usually like a my rounds to go like this. T's shift walk out of your cell knifing distance. Please do not kill afk's till we leave cell block. Then I'll take them to lets say disco for a few minutes so they get to enjoy sometime. Then we go to pool, do a game of sharks and minoes. Then I like to do a ceiling spray contest/wall spray contest. Ceiling is jumping off the diving board and trying to get your spray furthest from the board. Wall is trying to get your spray on the ground closest to the wall without clipping. Then I like to do a deagle toss/climb/race depending on what I feel like.

Main Idea for me is, playing T a lot I found it boring doing the same old stuff, knifing distance 505. Simon says. kills like everyone, then we go do like climb. Take 3 winners low spray. Rounds over... that is quite boring. Ct's... it is not about winning the round, video games are about having fun and so should jail. But thats just my idea...
 
i agree with abdul on the last reaction in chat. That way there is no mic lag and everyone has a fair chance of playing. Also wardays should be every 4 rounds or so, It keeps the game spiced up a bit.
Im glad we have this post coming up with new ideas for games, sadly i has no imagination and cant come up with anything :(
 
I always wonder if trivia could come back but only as a competition for LR. We always do spray contests which I am not really good at. :D

For LR competition people always like to do fast games such as spray contests etc.

Just to clarify.

This thread is about coming up with NEW games, not anything else.

I'm not trying to be mean, but let's stay on topic.

I know you're all about new ideas but for the most part, the only thing that really came to mind was that I really think there should be Trivia again.

I find myself mentally preparing for when I can (successfully) pull off being warden. So when I'm doing random things like showering, going on walks, hanging with friends, and of course, playing Counter strike, etc, I am thinking up my own Wardening Strategy I guess you could say. While I am doing so, I am thinking about how Trivia would be great for eliminating people within the first 1-3 rounds of Jail.

For example, asking questions such as "Who was the 16th president?" (Abraham Lincoln), Or "What was the first network on television designed for children?" (Nickalodian) , etc. Stuff people in my age group (13-20+) can know. It can help for choosing ST. The way I see it in my mind is:

Example:

"I'm going to ask a question and whoever knows the answer, step out of your cell by 5:05."

Who ever answers first gets ST (which there should only be one ST per round) and then the rest who didn't answer fast enough or answered wrong, gets executed on the spot.

After that, the rest of the T's in the cells would be asked to walk out and do the next command, like running to trampoline on Oswald or going to climb on whatever map we're on.

I see why Trivia was banned because it takes up too much time and I'm sure trivia questions that were asked may have been too obtuse for some players, possibly making it unfair. However, I feel like it should be a vital part of the Jail gaming system and it would be fun to have to jog your memory for tid bits of information! It's...slightly educational with the goal of surviving or getting ST in mind.

So to recap, I know this isn't new information but this has been on my mind as of late so I figured I'd post it in here.
 
I have an Idea

It's called Temptation but its with a twist.

Instead of killing the person who jumps you just kill the whole stack for fun

This would be invalid as its a text command unfortunatly,


However, i have noticed that there are loads of games you can play, however its all about how you word you commants and actually getting the Ts to play the game is the tricky part.

You could have the greatest game in the world but if a T wants to rebel then most likly your game is going to fail :/
