Bounty hunters....

[Athenian]

Currently it's like that:
Rogue is born -> Rogue gets a Bounty

Most of the Pirates dont even know there is a Blanket Bounty. So do most of the Indie Bounty Hunters. Currently it's "Oh hello Rogue, let me kill you for some money please." No thinking, no real talking. That even counts for the official Faction, in my opinion. Having a Bounty, on its own. Like Bounty placed on PirateX by TraderA or GovernmentB is much better.

What Hunter should collect Bounty for 200.000 Credits anyway? It's not even worth the hassle. Not everyone deserves a Bounty, others do.

A Bounty Hunter HAS to keep an Eye on the Bounty Board. If you dont, youre an idiot.

Hey, thanks for the snide flame.

How did someone become a criminal? Let's look at the means by whioch you acquired a reputation as a criminal - the missions, the killing, the robbing. You don't think there are consequences to those actions? You mean every criminal in game has to have a bounty on the forums before they can be hunted?
I think your desire for a consequence-free world for criminal characters is a little out of place in a roleplaying game involving aliens and intergalactic drug dealers.

Here's what I think actually happened - you got killed by a bounty hunter and you're not happy. Rather than have the good grace to role-play a response, you want to make playing a hunter so much more of a pain and harder than it is for you to play a criminal. You actually want to require people playing a certain character to spend time on the forums, writing down names and indulging in what sounds more like work than a fun hobby. How about we make criminals only able to attack members of lawful organisations who have actually have a bounty on them on the forums? Or maybe you can only pirate someone from a pre-approved list of viable piracy targets on the forums and for particular cargo and only on certain days? Sound fun? No? So why should it be like that for others?

My point, signed.

But then we need someone to actually do the bounty board. It wouldn't be bad, if -someone- would take that responsibility and make an in-RP topic here on forums. But that would need some ad in game so that people would really put those bounties on. So far I know about this but that doesn't seem to be kept up to date...

What I said to him above. Check the employment office. Players generate the content and gameplay. They update it. This is a hobby, played by people in their free time.

You want people holding your hand and doing stuff for you, start forking out dough to play here.
You want a consequence-free game, play chess against yourself.
