"Is this too close to the bone?"

I'm thinking of making an online chatroom that's set in a prison. You don't have usernames - you're given a number, and you can choose a password. I was thinking of making it so that you can "photo-fit" yourself a face, for a mugshot in your profile, and you can choose a crime you're doing time for. And here's the best part: the more you chat, the higher your status gets, allowing you to take someone with a lower status as your "b!tch". Cool, huh?

It could go either way. People could take it in the light-hearted manner it's intended, or ex-cons could get *really* offended and use me for coarsing.

:-D

Count me in.

Heh, I did a bit of work on this the other day and it's looking good. Fans of my "monkey island" won't be let down! I've opted for a cartoony prison feel, if that's possible. Just wait, for it shalt rocketh!

Sounds a good idea. Go for it.

No, you're a number 2.

good stuff, I await the prototype.

I'm not a number, I'm a free man

Trade in ciggies maybe, but fighting other users might be a bit tough to do. The interface (I can't believe I just used that word!) I'm making to chat with is fickung brilliant! Can't wait to see it in action.

monkey_man, will it be possible to beat other users to death with a lunch tray, and trade in ciggies?

Doing some research, I found this:

Those crazy japs...

Now all I've got to do is think up a domain name.

"prisonline.com"

Any suggestions?

That was too close to the bone(r).
