CeeJae Posted November 12, 2024 Report Share Posted November 12, 2024 Add parole back in for release day. Civilians can agree to parole if they wish to not go to jail and were non hostile. Add that shit back. Kircheis, Nightmare, massi and 3 others like this Link to comment
KrazyKnight Posted November 12, 2024 Report Share Posted November 12, 2024 (edited) It was brought up but never pushed for. We never really reached a consensus. My guess is no. Edited November 12, 2024 by KrazyKnight massi likes this Link to comment

Maybe they can make it that parole only gives cops 50% of the bounty instead of the whole thing.

KrazyKnight Posted November 29, 2024 Report Share Posted November 29, 2024 (edited) Can we get a definitive yes or no on this? This topic keeps coming up, and there's never been a, direct yes or no answer from any of the owners/devs. Would be nice to put this to bed. I've looked, and the topic keeps coming back up on and off since 2019. Edited November 30, 2024 by KrazyKnight Silver-Spy likes this Link to comment
Samperino Posted November 29, 2024 Report Share Posted November 29, 2024 The problem with parole was that it was abused a lot. Cops would tend to give it to people way too much. Civilians would "turn themselves in for parole" which would create a situation where civilians would expect parole and pressure officers into giving it to them every single time. It was meant to be a reward for good role play, and that just wasn't happening. You can implement policy to try to prevent that from happening, but how do you draw the line of how much role play is necessary for it to be rewarded? Also parole would be much more fitting to be posted in the APD Suggestions forum. I believe the Captains would approve or deny it then send it to the developers. Link to comment

I saw a lot of abuse with parole and obviously policies only stop those conscious of what they are doing from abusing it and not the real problem of people who aren't realizing how much they are doing it or people who don't care. I think if possible it would be nice to add parole back but maybe only allow one use per officer per restart. This would gatekeep overuse, maybe not abuse, but at least overuse... Maybe start with Sgt+? Look at how it all pans out and either remove it again, keep it to Sgt+, or if successful, add it to Corp+ and so on and so forth? Just my two cents, but I am interested in seeing how others view this or how they would suggest keeping it as a "rare" event that takes good RP and isnt overused. GravL likes this Link to comment

Spent Brass Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I have more to add on the reimplementation of parole: I think parole should "start" as a SGT+ ability with the potential to be added to either Corp+ or Constable+ if it rolls out well. I suggest lowering the payout given from giving someone parole with a requirement of a bounty over $50,000 (number for reference only, subject to change based on opinions). RP would be REQUIRED, the civ would NEED to RP their charges. The reason I think parole is a vital implementation is APD aside, it promotes a healthy environment for the server. When people obtain parole, they are less likely to sit idle in prison while watching a show. More people playing means more interaction which adds more purpose and fun to the game. @Bilbo Baggins See my notes above on why this would bring positive change to the health of the server and be something good for the APD as it reimplements the content from the past.
