Handcuffing and kidnapping

[Adam.Stone 5]

I assume with the addition of handcuffs the dev team has some sort of intention to add kidnapping of players a possibility. If this is the case I would like to add a few suggestions to further this idea.

KoS is a situation right now that seems to bother a lot of people and the way I see it the only way to make these players pay for their crimes is to force them into a situation they will not want to find themselves in. Once the unconscious glitch is fixed Im hoping that when someone falls unconscious this will allow you to handcuff them. Once cuffed you could either knock him out once more with a solid fist to the jaw or blunt extension of your body. The drag option we had in the mod would have to make a reappearance here and maybe a new game mechanic of forcing a player into a vehicle or vehicle trunk if that player is unconscious. This way you could really make the player pay or really torture him (whether you're seeking vengeance or you're just plain evil). This would actually make the addition of handcuffs more interesting then the steal blood or take the clothes off a player and re-enact a prison scene. Some balancing would be needed to not be able to keep a player in custody/kidnapped indefinitely.

With the addition of all the tools (screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, etc..) the potential to mess with players is really there. Purposely kidnapping someone, bring them in the woods and breaking their legs. Force feeding a player water and food and leaving them on a desolate island far off into the ocean, etc. This would be a MUCH worse fate then being killed on site. Of course logging out during this might ruin the experience but a special system could be implemented. Those that do log out while handcuffed are immediately killed but are sent to a special spawn point on the map that makes getting back to civilization laborious and suicide locations to respawn at normal spawns non-existent for a while (basically being respawned on an island with a long swimming time back to the coast). I would much rather be killed on site then kidnapped and have to go through all of the pain this experience might bring.

This would give us vengeance seekers and internet psychopaths something to look forward to. Obviously to be able to pull something off like this requires quite of bit of resources and tactics as capturing someone alive, keeping them alive and having a working vehicle to travel the prisoner in all requires quite a bit of effort. This also adds another facet to clan wars, being able to capture enemy allies and asking for ransom (either food, money, weapons, vehicles, etc..).

Just a suggestion I have been pondering as I was messing around with the handcuff mechanics.

Thanks, I really hope to see something like this make its way to the game.

Ive heard rumours speaking that the burlap sack might be used to blindfold people too. Dragging people with ya sounds good though, allthough the rest sounds a bit too sardistic to me :)

We also need banjos.

Haha yeah I went a little too far with the torture but being able to kidnap people and ask for ransom or drop them in the middle of nowhere with no gear would be a good way to mess with people. Besides in a world full of violence (Kill on Sight) I don't see why torture would not be part of this. No system, no law equals no consequences to foul actions. I can guaratee you we'd have a much different breed of people if this was the case. I imagine we'd all have done some pretty gnarly things to stay alive and exact revenge against people who took something important from us. Anyways about the burlap sack, it sounds great, I had a feeling it might be used in such a way, basically giving you a black screen or a very distorted see through effect. The possibilities are endless and I do hope to snatch a few of those deserving.
