Don't you hate getting stuck
in jail. But once in jail you can't gamble your life away, be mugged
or even killed tell you get out. I want to add something to the jail
to make it more interesting .

I am here to bring up an
idea, being able to shank in jail. Just like in real life shanking
happens, but how often? It really shouldn't happen I mean people can
attempt. I believe we should be able to shank people in jail,
resulting in them being harmed and possible killed. But being killed
is very unlikely and if it does happen only others in jail can get a
witness statement.

The pros of this is that its
another skill and a small twist to the game. This can make people
happen when they really want to kill someone for any reason. The con
is that its another way to be killed people may not be a fan of
another way to get killed and being killed in jail could also be
looked at as a pussy way to kill someone.

I have looked and not seen
this up and thought I'd put it out there and let people debate it and
see were this idea goes.

1. Jail time is too short on MR to add shanking.

2. We do not have "health" when we are attacked, we either live or die.

If these two things were changed, I would be all for this suggestion, for it would be more realistic. However, I do not see it happening anytime soon.

yes I understand and thank you for your input and yes jails are short, thats what (to me) makes it so interesting.

since jail time is short... they should make it manditory  to do 5 minutes... more serious crimes liike whacks and attempts be 9... it would be a fun sub game though to have shanking availible in this short period.

I don't think it's necessary, as Alexander pointed out - we either <em>live or die</em> there is no in-between here (unless you consider bodyguards)- and dying due to shanking would be... a bastard (maybe that is a good thing?). I still consider it a little too complex to introduce, though.

I like the idea of having another means of brutality in jail.  However the fact that we're only in jail for 10 seconds before somebody busts you does pose a problem.  I do agree, some people may not be happy to see another way to be killed.  You've presented good points.  Maybe something more along the lines of a jailhouse beating which would render the subject unable to do jail breaks, petties, felonies or buy drugs for X amount of time, while recovering from the injuries.
