What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

There is currently a television in the ISD booking room that is not currently used for anything, and is just black/blank (see image below).

I would like to propose that this television be utilized to display a live list or scrolling list of justice system staff (users who have passed the BAR exam) that are currently on-site. I believe that the display should cycle between the following three different views/lists:

  • General Attorneys
  • Criminal Prosecutors
  • Judges
These lists would update as any Bar-certified user/character joins or leaves the server to indicate if that user is Available or Offsite.

I've taken the liberty to make generalized examples of the three pages that could be cycled through every 10-15 seconds on the screen:

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

I have not seen something like this suggested before when searching.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  • This would make it substantially easier for individuals requesting a tribunal to see which Bar certified defense attorneys are available. It's almost always in the booking room that someone requests a tribunal during the arrest process, so using this already existing display to show this information would be extremely convenient from a role-play perspective.
  • This would make it substantially easier for ISD to determine if the correct mix of justice system staff are available to even support a tribunal. Having ready-access to this information would make it more likely to accept the request for a Summary tribunal, would would allow for more role-play on the server. Everyone seems to enjoy tribunals, and the summary tribunal process seems to be very under-utilized partially because people aren't aware if anyone is even available to support a tribunal.
  • This would give use to an asset that already exists in the world that currently serves no functional or roleplay use.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  • This would require a light to moderate amount of code to check the whitelist of who has passed the Bar exam, and check to see if the associated Steam_ID is currently on the server or not. These checks should be computationally very lightweight, and almost certainly would not impact server performance.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

This suggestion should be accepted as it will provide more encouragement for the Tribunal process to be utilized in Roleplay. The summary tribunal process is almost never used, and Inspectors+ that have passed the Bar exam, General Attorneys that have passed the Bar exam, and accused CL3 & below individuals would all benefit from having more visibility in to who is onsite/available so that Summary tribunals can be used somewhat more often than they currently are. Tribunals almost always have a full audience, which shows that when they do happen, they are a high-interest event that lots of people enjoy to watch and/or participate in.

Suggestion Denied

Hi @Bazyli Kowalczyk ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

Reason:
We as content feel that it is not necessary to improve the Lawyer/BAR exam system as it is an In character thing that is only present on the USA side. Furthermore, we feel that having a television that displays lawyers / Certified personel is not needed in ISD wing.

If you want a list of Lawyers we suggest you make a decal and request server leadership to have it put up or make a spreadsheet with everyone that is certified.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
