Salem

so there are these crime debuffs, and there are these (rather useless) churches...

made me wondering, why not having both combined:
so instead of running away from the crime scene and hiding for some time, our poor sinners would have to visit the next best church and pray for their very soul


one could either use the church in Boston (but easily be tracked down) or he could build an own church at his hideout

for the small purse there could be a shine, which could be built in any house (but one would have to pray longer than in a proper church)

While it's true that the crime system in Salem sucks and could use a change, this wouldn't work very well. You don't raid from near your own base. You go to someone else's base somewhere on the map and building a random church next to any claim you ever want to raid wouldn't work out very well.

Hidding in church should only reduce time that evidences of your crimes lasts in rangers inventory

But it should be dependant from type and quantity of crimes, so single scent leading to character can be easier "decearesed" than 50 scents

i remember, vatican state... once upon a time in thieves and murderers hide in churches because cops can't take them on sacred ground... are you serius? no, that is a total bad idea
want to bash into a big claim? pump yourself or wait 12hours of cooldown and allow who is being raided to have a change to defend...


PS: and also learn how game is working :/ because you can't even teleport anywhere while in crime debuff
PPS: and learn some moral, you kill a person and then pray god to have your bad thing disappear, i don't like
