What is your idea?

MY IDEA IS THAT IF TWO CL'S DECIDE TO ACTIVATE "SITDOWN" (PERHAPS A FORMAT SIMILAR TO AN OC), THEN ALL MEMBERS OF THAT FAMILY (POSSIBLY ONLY IN THE HQ DISTRICT) ARE BOTH SAFE FROM BEING SHOT AND UNABLE TO FIRE.  FOR A SET PERIOD OF TIME (POSSIBLY 1, OR 4, HOURS),

Has your idea already been suggested in some form or another before? (Check the Suggestions forum for past threads with ideas the same or similar to yours.)

I DON'T THINK SO

What does your idea entail?

PLEASE SEE ABOVE.

How can your idea be successfully implemented into the game as it stands?

I AM NOT A CODER BUT THINK IT COULD BE DONE RELATIVELY EASILY

What major changes would be needed to make your idea work?

SEE ABOVE

What is the positive impact of your idea?

IT WOULD INTRODUCE STRATEGIC NEGOTIATIONS, REDUCE KILLINGS, FACILITATE INTRIGUE AND NEW WAYS OF FIGHTING WARS

What is the negative impact of your idea?

IT WOULD POTENTIALLY DECREASE THE DEATH RATE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO STAGNATION

How may your idea affect the rest of the userbase?

UNSURE.  IT WOULD BE QUITE INTERESTING FOR PEOPLE I THINK 
 

I don't think this is something that needs to be coded in. It essentially takes away the need to communicate effectively with your crew. In the instance of war, leaders/uppers should be in constant contact with crew members, relaying instructions, communicating any changes in circumstances, etc. This would include whether there had been an agreed ceasefire, or even the start of ceasefire discussions.

I don't think people should be protected from being killed during this time. If the potential of a ceasefire hasn't been properly communicated to their members, and someone ends up dying because of it, that's the fault of the leader., and there should be potential consequences for that.

This seems to be another way to hold a leaders hand and make leading during one of these times easy, and I don't think it should be.

Chalk - you have not given a single good reason why this shouldn't be done.

I'm sorry you feel that way. If you would maybe like to read my response again I'm sure you will understand the issues I have raised with the idea.

Terrible idea. Far too much room to be abused as Wheeler stated.
