Carbon, some other players (like Jormy and Griffin), and myself are making tentative plans on an overhaul of the Nightgod Moon Prison (which is subject to name change, at least colloquially, by Javert). Javert is devising a plan for obtaining and restructuring the prison to make a suitable deterrent to monsters. His goal is to establish a sense of order in monster society and lay down Rules of Order/“Laws” to abide by. Currently he is working with Regulus Black to obtain a list of lawyers and criminal law experts in Bavan so they can ghost-write drafts of monster regulations and punishable offenses.
Once the prison changes hands (and becomes “La Forteresse,” as far as Javert will refer to it), there will be several layers of punishment, determined OOCly and with full consent between players. There will be the standard imprisonment, which will last short-term and then the perpetrator will be released and fined. The next level would be an option for “house arrest” with de-powering shackles or bracelets, which would be 1 week of imprisonment plus up to a month of de-powering with loopholes available according to event participation (all worked out on a player-to-player basis). The extent of de-powering would be worked out on a character-to-character basis and up to player discretion. The worst and most severe level of punishment would be the threat of “re-conditioning” efforts via physical and psychological methods spearheaded by Hannibal Lecter and AM. This would involve psychic driving and repeated psychological exposure to encourage deviant monsters not to commit crimes against other monsters again. Criminals subject to reconditioning of this nature would be mass murderers, torturers, repeat offenders of the worst sort, people of Aunamee and Amanda’s stature and visibility in terms of crimes. Reconditioning is a last resort measure, and it is intended to be a latent threat among the population, used only in extreme cases. ICly it is a way to provide AM appeasement while handing over the keys to the prison administration to him so he can sort out logistics and make sure it's run properly.
Again, all captures, arrests, and punishments would be arranged and agreed upon OOCly by all parties. No imprisonment will ICly last more than two weeks unless requested by the players involved. No psychological or physical torture will occur without explicit permissions, but the threat will be explicit and defined ICly as an option for the worst of offenders. The IC justification for these harsh methods will be the Fog God desiring “freedom” for all of her children; that would make indefinite and permanent imprisonment not an option. All punishable crimes will be restricted to monster-on-monster crime, with crimes against humans being of little consequence.
The prison will also be used to house any humans (such as poachers) that have terrorized monsters. They will be tried, punished, and likely executed in the prison, within monster society.
I was wondering if the mods had any restrictions or suggestions for how else we should define prison work going forward, and if this is at all appropriate to implement once plans are enacted ICly. Ideally, I would love for it to serve as an IC deterrent for monsters to “behave themselves” and get along with their fellow monsters. I have no intention of dampening anyone else’s fun or policing other characters without express interest from all parties.
Please let me know what else I can do to change or keep in mind! Nothing is yet set in stone, I just want the possibilities laid out and approved before anything occurs so I don’t step on any toes!
EDIT TO ADD: I understand this might be a large-scale change, and if this is something that should be posed to the playerbase at large that is also something I'm happy to do.
