I know there is some bad feelings about blanket bounties.

So basically what you're doing is allowing people who are approved there to blow up any transports in Kusari without actually having to make a piracy demand?

PvP abuse, IMO.

SIGNED.

Plus he gets upset if anyone wants to RP revenge. Sorry,but people here can, and do RP what ever they want.

Well i am sorry,but this broadcast to all those peeps will be picked up and relayed to many other's sources,and so on. All of sirius will know about it,and so no "metagaming" will take place when the friends/family and so on of those killed under this bounty will find out,and take revenge. For example the junkers chat with those listed,and will sell this info to other's(and get great pay for it) then they will pass it on. See how in RP this works? So no "meta gaming" It is RP. Maybe you dislike this RP? TO BAD! not all will like you RP'n this bounty. There will be killing,and lots of it. Certain militaries will also here about this,and surely take action. You need to expand your thinking before you post something like this,and claim "no you can't find out! metagaming metagaming". Anything broadcast to large parties,and i mean ANYTHING! can,and will be recorded and sold to other parties for a price. After all as you claim,these are not the friendly/loyal to all type's your paying. they will work both sides.
I stick with my earlier claim,and have started relocaiting already. I WILL BE HUNTING SAMURA SHIPS! PERIOD!
I will RP it. RP it MY way. like it or not. No rules will be broken.

I see your point there ryoken, I shall take into account that all secrecy in indeed dead and we shall use closed bounty boards as justification that we know all about it, maybe you can use some of our communication channels and say the Junkers traded with the Hogosha for that too.:lol:

You go ahead and metagame all you want to, no one can stop you but please don't try and state that you will use RP to justify your actions.:wacko:




Hielor why do it that way when they can pirate you and still be paid on top?

You missed the point.

Doesn't an outstanding bounty on someone allow an aggressor to bypass rule 6.6 and just say "there's a bounty on you, I intend to collect!" before starting the pewpew?

If so, rule 6.6 is there for a reason and this giant blanket bounty is just there to allow people to bypass it.

If I'm mistaken in that impression, nevermind. I haven't really dealt with bounties much.

Edit: "outstanding vessel" -> "outstanding bounty"

So you're thinking an interaction should go like this:

Pirat: "2milrdai"
Trader: "K, here"
(trader gives pirat 2mil)
Pirat: "Thanks. Oh look, there's a bounty on you, now dai anyway"
*pewpew*

Yeah, cause that's not against the rules at all.

Well that is definately something to think about, thankyou for bringing that up.

When you really think about it, a bounty also allows you to bypass 5.2: All attacks must be the result of some form of role play.

I don't disagree that this blanket bounty is allowing people to bypass a rule by permitting another roleplay avenue, but it's legal, so who cares? Fight back in space, not on forums.

In my experience, pirates do not hunt bounties. There's a bit of debate on the matter, however.

I think its fine if it has been kept closed, that "must make a demand" rule is stupid, and this IS roleplay reason for an attack. If someone wants to find out about this, theyd better bribe a merc who comes to kill them into telling who hired.

One way around this could be to include that an attempt at interdiction must happen first.
