Player Bounties

[Hashum]

Ok, this was sort of discussed in my other thread when I first joined but it sort of fell off the face of the earth and I don't want it to die. Bounty Hunter's are in great need of content in my opinion anyway. So as disucussed with the MERCS moving to Nocturnus (please pardon the spelling it's going to take me awhile to get that one) I thought a new player bounty system would be excellent. It would be even better if we could get other RP cities across the galaxy to participate like the city with the Crazy Roba. Sorry I know it begins with a D but that's about it. I was sort of hoping we could work something out with the following Rules

1) Player A is aggitated by player B for drinking the last of the brandy. Player A either posts a message here on the boards or contacts a member of the MERCS to exact revenge for this grevious offense. Player B either accepts the posted bounty on the board by posting Accepted or something. If this was all done in game then the MERC member assigned must contact player B and inform them that they've received a bounty and verify that they're willing to RP with it. So that all parties are involved and none are greifed. The terms of the contract would require Dead or Alive (no DB however just incap)

2) Once the said objective has been achived this could require player B to travel back to a meeting with player A to fulfill the contract, or possibly a screenshot of the incapped player B.

3) the bounty is tipped and all parties are happy again, or until the next bottle of brandy.

An example is blow

Subject Bounty on Hashum

Zannon desides he doesn't like humans especially blonde hair blue eyed humans and requests that Hashum be killed for a bounty of 25,000 Credits.

I post Bounty Accepted.

At this time Zannon or any of the MERCS on the board can simply contact Zannon for the job. Once the BH has been hired he'll search me out Incap me take a snap shot and pass it on to Zannon to collect his bounty.

Again if we could get several RP cities involved on this the RP plot could be excellent. Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. Maybe we could even get a Bounty Board on here

I agree, this could be very fun.

DO IT.

This would be fun I agree...DO IT.

Remember, we dont just bounty hunt...we do other things to!!

We also have rates. These rates cover our traveling expenses ect. 25k isnt really enough to get one of our guys out the door. Bounty rates start at 100k if your hiring a Mercenary to be your private hunter. Now, I did X'an a favor for 30k at S&V night by killing the dancing trando...but for that favor, I expect one in return.

MUHAHAHAHA.

And Sep didn't even get a thanks for reviving said dancing Tran either. But it was in opposition to Novall, so things aren't all bad. :-)

I think the really fun part about a bounty is if it is unexpected.... If I know that someone is out to get me, it takes some of the fun out of the encounter.

I would suggest a simple sign-up sheet.

Any person who has signed up as a viable target for player bounties can have a bounty placed on them at any time by any person, and will rp the encounter as such.

I would be willing to put my name on the top of such a sign-up sheet...

If this is agreeable, I would suggest a sticky thread be started so all willing participants can sign up.

[Hashum]

Oh that's an excellent Idea. Maybe we can get Seret to set one up for us.

[Lok'i Vidaar]

ooooh oooh jump on it budday..

Well actually we can setup a forum specifically for this.

You post in the I wanna be a Target thread to be one...

should be fairly easy concept to get going..

Did you see the post about the BH game that some other guy set up?

Basically there are Hunters, Targets, Informants, and Clients. The first 3 you have to sign up for.

Here's (loosely) how the pay system worked..
Bounty Hunters - they pay register to see the list of active targets; get paid by completing a contract
Infotmants - pay to register; get paid to rat on targets, or to misinform hunters
Targets - register for free, get a reward if they live for X time.. I am not sure I like this.
Clients - offer bounties on possible targets.

There needs to be some circular flow of money, I think. Otherwise all the money flows towards the hunters and then the fun ends in a hurry.
