Hello! Flooh5 here. I’m a previous Chairperson at Stateview, and currently thriving Superintendent. I’ve created this forums post to recommend the idea of a “Respawn in cells” function connected via the Lockdown Protocal system in Stateview.
Easily Found Disadvantages:
There is a disadvantage I could find here, and that is that when people abuse LD, this could make a situation a whole lot worse and chaotic as some inmates could still remain at status and some would be in cells. This would be especially chaotic in the case LD was left on for a long time with no reason. (Medium/Long Duration.)
Advantages:
This would make it easier for shifts as per people resetting, they’d automatically be at cells, instead of the issue of them respawning at the current status. (Example: Spawning at Showers instead of Cell Block.) Furthergoing, if there was a proper reason provided for lockdown, this feature could be very useful for managing situations.
What about for Evacuation and Blackout Drills, following “Shifts” in [Advantages]?
Well, there is an easy solution for this. In the current situation. For an evacuation, I don’t know, but the best case would be to spawn people in Yard to easily transport them to the Evacuation Site. Blackouts wouldn’t really be able to be done, as blackouts are hard to trigger in the first place, and when power goes out, the game could register it as a blackout anyways. Furthermore otherwise, if this was to work, I think it should spawn all inmates in cells, as per the announcement message stated for Blackout drills quoting “No one should be in the hallways.”
I know some people could disagree with this idea because of potential abuse ideas, but I still think it has a good standing position to be taken into consideration.
Thank you for reading.
Signed,
Flooh5.
