LAWYER IS USELESS

Lawyer, a role with lots of potential that is unfortunately lacking it. No one uses it, and the idea of it makes no sense. If somebody is being arrested unlawfully, someone will interfere, vocalize, or even bring others in to get the person free. That being the case, what makes lawyer any different then all the other roles? There obviously needs to be some change here.

MY IDEA


I feel as if an ability such as rob or arrest with a cooldown of 30 minutes that essentially gives someone a "get out of jail free card" needs to be added. If someone is arrested they have every right to ask the police to talk to their lawyer, this conversation is a negotiation of the price to get their freedom back. This can be within 100-600 dollars. I know what you're thinking right now, "that may be a bit op". Here is why I think it isn't:

1. Imprisonment isn't THAT big of a deal. People are very rarely in prison for over 20 minutes which is simply time they can alt tab and watch YouTube.
2. There is a cooldown, and even if this does get through to the owners and happens not many people will use this considering that it is a donator role and loads of people stick to weaponsmith bandit and cop. Someone getting this get out of jail free card will be lucky and it won't be a common occurrence.


SUPPORT MY IDEA

Give me a +1 or a -1 and please state why! Also the point of this thread is to make Lawyers useful and not to follow my plan exactly, be sure to post if you have any ideas you want to share.

A lawyer is very useful in real life, I have not seen one person use the lawyer role other than you testing it out, there should be a court system!

Hmm not a bad suggestion but I thought people already talk with the cops for a payment to be bailed out of jail? I understand that we might have to make lawyers better but as of right now I'm unsure how, maybe add a judge Role and actually make courts happen? Hm.. unraidable court house where you can sue people.. hmm apply on the forums for judge.. hmm all those ideas..

Or just make it where lawyers can be the ones to bail others out. Instead of any role. Because lately no police have ever had a bail payment. Just a time for jail

Hm alright I'll further look into this when I come from my holiday. I'll also consult with the rp admins to see what they think of this idea. Thanks for the suggestion OP.
