(LCS) Will the sun blow up first?
« on: March 16, 2008, 01:57:00 pm »

After making use of a sleeper lawyer...

"The jury has returned from deliberations.

GUILTY!

Elsie Dahmer, you are sentenced to 30524 consecutive life terms in prison."

Is that supposed to happen? Death penalty is still around in this game.

Edit: Her accomplice, also the founder, was charged with MORE crimes, and got a 'mere' 12 life terms.

I didn't have a judge at the time, only a lawyer.

That lawyer didn't fight hard enough to get only 30523 life terms.

Hm. That's not even close to enough to make 30k life sentences. Something must have gone wrong.

Edit: 30k made me realize... of course. It must be a 16-bit signed integer (short) that rolled over. Life sentences are counted by the negative numbers, months in prison are positive numbers. So you just got almost 3000 years in prison and the game couldn't handle such a mind-bogglingly huge sentence...  ;)

This shouldn't be hard to fix.

That's such a large number, could it have possibly rolled over somehow?

False. I just had a sleeper judge preside over the case of one of my hippies (who was charged with murder in the twenties, various other things, and escaping prison [which is extremely difficult to get out of]) and said hippie, combined with his 'humiliating defense', got issued the death sentence.

May be the breaking out of jail that did it... judge might have been worried about getting lynched if he "went easy" on a criminal who broke out of prison and then went on to murder 8 more people. (And don't worry, the thread's only two days old.  ;))

that's weird, I was sure sleeper judges were auto-lenient (and leniency= no death penalties). they aren't however (they are quite useful anyway).

Why not leave the bug in and congradulate them with a text file for the achievement.
