Jynxs Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 What are the Rules for keeping someone Prisoner? Hi, If i am to knock someone out and keep them prisoner and handcuffed to a chair. How long am i allowed to keep them for before it becomes out of hand ? Some War Raid can take up to 30-40hrs with decent bases and if i grab someone and keep him hostage while we wipe the base. eg if its 24hrs say i keep him 24hrs captured then kill him. then go recapture him again would that be seperate instances ? I just want to know the official Ruling without breaking the rules thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lycan187u Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Can only eat poop if not handcuffed. Unless has it in his hotbar an if that's the case he was prepared to be imprisoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkholis Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Devs stated quite a long time ago that prisoners are considered a resource same as stone, since you can "farm" them for blood packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hate my floating jails, where you can't move and your food/water simply won't drain. I once had on a PvP server, a player who was so pissed of being my property, that he jumped on another server, created a character simply to transfer it where he was held, in order to overwrite said character. Fun times!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely falls under "Hacking or exploiting game mechanics to gain an unfair advantage over other players is not tolerated." and could get yourself into trouble.

This definitely falls under "Hacking or exploiting game mechanics to gain an unfair advantage over other players is not tolerated." and could get yourself into trouble. I wouldn't be confident to call it an exploit and again, devs stated before that keeping a player hostage is fair game and not against CoC. As for the scorpion hitbox, it has been buggy since day 1 of EA and never been fixed. It's not as if someone can simply log out and fall under it, thus freeing themself of said floating issue. 51 minutes ago, invincibleqc said: This definitely falls under... That is YOUR interpretation of the CoC, not Wilcard's. At the end of the day, do as you see fit. You can always try to write a ticket and get an official response from a WC employee, but I doubt you'd get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePryBar Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Have used floating jails before. Find a hole that when one falls in they just float there, everybody has probably been stuck in one by now, drag your unconscious victim to the edge and turf them in. I used foundations after to seal access to the hole and put a crap decoy base ontop. This idea came to me while I was stuck in a hole for the better part of 4 hours. It would definitely be a grey exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyme Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Does putting a player on top of walls to make them slide around work? Does handcuffing them to a tek pod still work as well? I have plans for beach bobs named 123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Featured Comment genie45 Posted August 23, 2019 Featured Comment Share Posted August 23, 2019 You can imprison someone as long as you want, but you may not do it by using exploit which causes the prisoner to not be able to kill himself or escape (bringing him in a floating state or otherwise glitched, encumbering him and filling his inventory is not considered exploiting btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
