SWG Tales

I've always worked with the motto of "If your on my friends list...then theres a possiability that I'm tracking you."

I mean really...if you know they hunter knows and has the means to, then why set yourself up for it anyhow.

9 times out of 10 if your on my friends list, then your also on someone's list thats also on my list. So you can just take yourself off, but guess what...thats right. Deception! Thats why I've always been so good at the hunting game. Someone you know knows me...and is going to give up your location either willingly or unknowingly.

Deception is one of my favorite capture tactics. Isleh knows this quite well as do some other past hunts of mine.

If you toss my device, then I'll find another way...I always have Its not a super-hero complex, its using your resources and skill to the highest level.

I now expect everyone to take me off their friends list :P j/k

(and you better not damnit)

What we need is a player event BH terminal and I posted it on the SWG RP forums as such.

Actually go a response to it with somoen posting a link to the BH system they are working on here

Well the system doesn't seem to be all that different from ours. I took a quick scan over the material and it seems they have similar categories for bounties although we call them Closed, and Open bounties their titles were Corporate or Private I believe. However the idea is similar.

I actually really agree with isleh on this post. I had mentioned something somewhat related in our BH System. I was thinking it would be great to have a BH office set up that any BH's could enter and would be charged a "tax" or entrance fee. Inside would be a bounty terminal that would essentially send them to our BH System and that would be how someone could view the bounties. Then in turn the profits from the access fee could be shared with the Marks who participate and to help remove some of the burden from the clients.

We talked about that idea for some time, and I really had my hopes up that it would be used. Unfortunately it was deemed as to complicated since it required someone to "stock" the vendor with fresh bounties as they were made. I still think its a kickass idea though, and I have a newb crafter character that I'd even do it with

I was thinking more of an actual terminal that would allow the ues of seekers, etc..

Novall, if you want to use a terminal and stock it, that's fine by me. Give the mark a item to hand to the hunter when they collect. They could just sell that item back to the vendor to claim their reward.

Name it like "Isleh-lin 150000" for example and note the serial number. Someone may try to create a forgery ;)

I've already stated my points on the subject. Feel free to re-read them if you like.

Bad Idea + Time != Good idea

But don't let that stop you. :P


But seriously, I want you to try it and I hope it is successful. Set it up, give it a good test, let it run for a bit, then evaluate.

I didn't mean use the terminal to actually post the bounties because that closes them off so only one hunter can have the bounty. I just wish there were a way to only be able to "view" bounties by accessing this terminal.

I.E. Ekade has a bounty on her, of course we all know because it's posted on the boards. But before you can track her you have to use this terminal in order to view the bounty IC. At which point we are given funds to support the system and the BH gets to help out on the burden in order to enjoy the system that was made for them.

Novall if you'll be in game tonight we can discuss if you'd like. I'd be more then happy to have Queleri help out with a vendor or items. I guess I was thinking this "terminal" would sort of be like the Spy net operatives for RP or how BH's would more typically get bounties, from a contact that has his ears to the wire.

Why cant you make items named "Bounty on So and so" and list them for 9999999999, and in the description you put info on the actual bounty and list them on the vendor. The entrance fee or "tax" could be what helps pay for the vendor, and after the mark is captured, you just put the item in the store room till their up again.

Sounds pretty fool proof to me

Not really. I know just enough to be dangerous.

Ok, I'm for that. I think that works out very nicely. By chance would the owner of the house get any sort of confirmation when someone pays the fee to enter a house? This could just be used as a verification that the BH followed the correct procedures.

Also thinking about this now I think we could drop an NPC vendor, and the "fee" would simply be considered your "tip" to the informant for the information. Yes I think this idea is growing on me.
