Encounter rules with criminal

Lately some members of the militia have stated that the outcome of encounters with criminal is often far from fair. This have aswell lead to a very relaxed nature for the criminal in general, because they have nothing to fear about us, simply because they can choose what will be happening.

In order to make encounters with the militia more fair for all, we will now be using a system to determine the outcome.

When a criminal and a militia encounter they form a party and the criminal does /random 2 If it is 1 then the criminal escapes. If it is 2 then the he is taken to the stockades in the end.

When he/she is trown in the stockades he will be doing a /random 3-9 to determine how many hours there will go before he can be freed. Meanwhile he are allowed to do other activities OOC.

This system should hopefully raise the quality of the encounters and lower he frequency of them.

I like the idea, But how would it work if there is 5 of us and one of him? Realisticly, he would not be able to escsape.

This is a good idea except this wouldn't work as well with larger criminals, especially cultists who are Kill on sight, although this would work with day to day criminals like thieves etc. You could try to make another version of this with a "Criminal escapes" and a "Criminal is killed" for the larger KoS criminals. Try to remember that some people don't always want their characters killed IC.
