  I was thinking of that - the command issued would dump them right to some spot 
on the map.  But the fact that there are different locations for different 
penalties made that a little more difficult.  And the fact that I would prefer 
that such information is dynamically generated - perhaps by something like a 
.jails file in the map directory, vs having compiled in values.

  Wouldn't be too hard to do that in crossfire - it really just amounts to 
making the appropriate map.  Best way for no move might be to use player movers 
to just push players back to the same space.  But you could also use something 
like blocked spaces to prevent movement.
