An addition to a type of building

Jail Cells

Ever have a zombie in your building, but don't have the AP's, ammo, or weaponry to kill it? Don't rely on the others with you! By then it could be too late. The implementation of jail cells(in Police Departments only) will give a survivor a 37% chance of putting a zombie in the jail cell.It takes 2 AP to push a zombie into the jail cell (due to the fact it is a heavy thing that is semi living.) There is a 2% chance that when you push a zombie into a jail cell, you will become infected. Flavor text for putting a zombie in a jail cell successfully will read: You push a zombie into a jail cell. Doing so unsuccessfully will read: You attempt to push the zombie into the jail cell, but it won't budge. Jail cells have a 100% chance of closing when the building isn't ruined. A ruined building has a 21% chance of the door closing. Flavor text for closing a door successfully reads: You close the jail cell door, locking it. Closing it unsuccessfully reads: The building has been ruined for so long, the hinge is rusted and won't budge. Attempting to push a survivor into the jail cell reads: You attempt to push (insert survivor name here)into the jail cell, but they walk away from you. Zombies can escape jail cells by attacking the door locks. Cell door lock's are equal to a lightly barricaded building. Flavor text for attacking cell door locks reads: You smash at the lock(equal to you smash at the barricade.) You smash at the lock, it emits a metallic clink.(equal to you smash at the barricade, it creaks.) You smash at the lock, denting it. (equal to you smash at the barricades, part of it collapses.) You smash at the lock, the inside mechanisms of the lock fall apart, the door slowly swings open. (equal to you smash at the barricades, the last section falls away.) Locks can be fixed by anyone with a toolbox. It will only take 1 toolbox if the user has the construction skill, 3 if not. A police department can have a maximum of 3 jail cells. The last part of this suggestion: You can walk into a jail cell. If your afraid your PD safehouse will be breached while your away,you can walk into a jail cell (1 AP) and close it. You won't be able to get out unless you, or someone else breaks the lock.More than person can be in a jail cell at a time, up to 5 people. To make this possible addition more fair, zombies can also push survivors into jail cells, put only those with Memories of Life that can open doors can close and lock cell doors. I will leave to the imagination what a zombie would do if he/she was locked in a jail cell with a survivor. Locks can be attacked from the outside of the cell. If this suggestion is implemented, the room description will read: You are in Police Department, Also here is You,A,B, and C. There are ___<---(insert number of jail cells here, 1,2 or 3) jail cells here. ___<--- (insert number of empty jail cells here) empty jail cells. B is in a jail cell, which has an undamaged lock.(Only cells with people inside show the current status of the lock, which are,undamaged,slightly dented,moderately damaged, badly damaged, and destroyed. Later on, if this suggestion is implemented, a new item, the Cell Key, which has a 41% chance of being found in Police Departments, 1% in Fire Departments, could be added to the game, to rid the need of 1 or 3 toolboxes to fix the lock.

1. Spam - I could swear when I read this that it was a humorous suggestion. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 07:01, 2 August 2009 (BST)
2. Spam - because libraries obviously have jail cells. Also, DS in future please, and format your suggestion better (walls of text are bad.) Linkthewindow  Talk  07:05, 2 August 2009 (BST)
3. Spam - Sounds like the Bull Rush thing, except with more bullcrap. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 07:20, 2 August 2009 (BST)
4. Spam Cut the guy a little slack, maybe English isn't his native language. Beyond that this, I think (since it wasn't easy to read) could be a dupe. Either way its not really a good idea.--Pesatyel 07:40, 2 August 2009 (BST)
5. Spam - Developing Suggestions please. Cyberbob  Talk  08:34, 2 August 2009 (BST)

Voting Rules

Current Suggestions Advice to Suggesters Adding options to your suggestion is not good practice. Others will not vote on the options, only the main body; please don't ask them to do so. Once you have posted your suggestion, it is considered complete. Altering the suggestion mechanics after voting has begun nullifies existing votes, and is considered an abuse of the suggestions system. Doing so will result in your suggestion being removed from the voting system to removed suggestions, where you can work out the details and resubmit later if you desire. It is preferred that you remove your own suggestion and resubmit a new version with changes, if changes are needed. "Notes" added for clarification purposes, and correcting spelling/typos are permitted. When considering adding a clarification note, it is often better for all parties involved, for the author to remove the suggestion and resubmit it with the clarification included for the voters who have already placed their votes. Advice to Voters You are voting on Suggestions, not Users. The text of your vote should not personally attack or denigrate the user who has submitted it... no matter how ridiculous the idea. Flaming and/or Trolling will not be tolerated. Before voting please read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots and Frequently Suggested Ideas Page to read about concepts that have been generally considered unworkable in the past. You do not need to follow the guidelines on these pages but they are worth consideration before casting a vote. One vote per user. No exceptions. You cannot use multiple wiki accounts to vote on a suggestion. To Vote, use the [edit] button at the top of the voting section, then enter your vote in the the proper format to the end of the relevant section (keep/kill/spam). It is strongly recommended that voters (especially in the kill/spam sections) justify their vote to help others understand the reason they disagree. Feedback helps new suggesters get a feel for what the community does and does not want included in Urban Dead, and a deeper understanding of the balance needed for a workable suggestion. Votes must include a signature in order to be considered valid votes. To sign a vote, use --~~~~. Please remember to sign your votes! Unsigned votes will be deleted after 30 minutes or when found. Each Suggestion will be open to voting for two (2) weeks, measured from the suggestion's Timestamp, unless it is a Dupe or Spam. If, at the end of that time, there are two thirds (2/3) more Keep votes than Kill votes, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Reviewed Suggestions page. Otherwise, the Suggestion will be moved to the Peer Rejected Suggestions page.

Rules for Discussions Votes are NOT the place to discuss Suggestions. This page and archived suggestion pages only to be used for the Suggesting and subsequent Voting of these suggestions. If you wish to discuss the suggestion or vote here, please use this page's Talk page (Suggestion talk:20090802 Jail Cells). Suggestions do not have to be submitted in order to discuss them. Developing Suggestions can be used to workshop possible suggestions before they are submitted.

Valid Votes Keep, for Suggestions that you believe have merit. Kill, for Suggestions that you believe do not have merit. If you need to discuss a rule fix, use the discussion page. Spam, for the most ridiculous suggestions. Suggestions can be removed with Spam votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks. Spam votes are not a "strong kill", they are simply here to prevent the utterly ridiculous from clogging up the system. If you do not like the idea, and it's not some crazy uber power or something else ridiculous, VOTE KILL, NOT SPAM. Spam votes will be counted as Kill when votes are tallied. Dupe, for Suggestions that are exact or very close duplicates of previous suggestions. For a Dupe vote to be valid, a link must be provided to the original suggestion. Dupe votes can be used to remove suggestions as described on the cycling suggestions page. Dupe votes will not be counted when votes are tallied. Humourous, for suggestions that are obviously intended to be satirical, or of comedic value only.}} Suggestions can be removed with Humourous votes as described on the cycling suggestions page. If the criterion described there are not fulfilled, the suggestion must remain for the whole two weeks.

Invalid Votes Server Load and Programming Complexity are NOT very good Kill reasons. You are voting on the merit of the suggestion and whether or not you think it belongs in the game. Server load/complexity issues are up to Kevan to decide. X should be implemented first is not a valid reason for a vote. You are voting on the merit of THIS suggestion, not how it compares to others. Votes that do not have reasoning behind them are invalid. You MUST justify your vote.

Comments Re may be used to comment on a vote. Only the original author and the person being REd can comment. Comments are restricted to a single comment per vote, and it is expected that Re comments be as short as possible. Reing every kill vote is considered abuse of the Re comment. A Re does not count as a vote, and any subsequent discussion not part of the Re comment should be held on the discussion page if there is any extended commenting. Note is used by System Operators to invalidate trolling-based votes. Only Sysops may remove troll-based votes and they do so with a strikeout <s></s> in order to preserve the trolling removal for posterity. The voter may contest the strikeout with the Sysop that struck their vote out on the discussion page. Only a System Operator may remove a strikeout.

All Caps Try to avoid YELLING, writing in bold, or using italics, except when emphasizing a point which has escaped other voters.
