I know there is some bad feelings about blanket bounties.

[Markus_Janus]

It's supposed to help Samura monopolize the market in imaginary RP. Market that they are not utilizing at this moment by player based RP.

Basically driving away activity (traders who attract criminals who in turn attract lawfuls, though it's different in Kusari) and then have activity issues (ex-KSP, 113th). Samura| players will not gain anything. Most of the losses will be on unsuspecting traders supplying Kusari with needed commodities.

You mean an unsuspecting trader in Kusari might get pirated or killed in Kusari, oh god no!
What shall we do to make sure this doesn't happen?
I know we shall make sure the AFA/Hogosha have no weapons and then we shall make up a new faction consisting of Samura players who will form our own merc group to do all the dirty work and not be held accountable at all.
We won't even need another faction to cooperate with.
Does that sound like better imaginary RP to you?

This is not the first time nor the last that some faction is putting restrictions in game only to make other peoples lives more complicated, we will see that more and more until Admins involve some real consequences, as it is no faction has any reason to stop doing that, there is no impact whatsoever on their economy. If for example missing a certain good would make repairs or equipment in that faction skyrocket along with prices of that good and every other that uses it as material until the free supply of that good is reestablished then governments would think twice before making embargoes and companies would think twice before blanket bountying their supplier.

Damn it he has worked it out, the only reason we did this was to make others time more complicated, however did he find out?
But alas you are right, factions should not be able to do anything that might affect your play time, what kind of world would we live in then?

This is below you, using sarcasm as argument is very low and it wont make anyone respect you, it is only suited to troll.

I saw you walking down the streat, your eyes, your lips, your nose, everything was so perfect. I started singing "who let the dogs out."

That's good way to bend topic into other direction and ignore the main purpose.

So, off topic: I don't see difference between using proxies and by being proxies. Same crap. Just you get more fun while still leaving the deal open for other parties. Sort of the same as I tried with Legal Department while still employing mercenaries for /anon IC bounty on those strudels with doubling fines when we had a real life besides DiscoveryGC/FL.

Yet it was selected targets from Rheinland and not entire player base which makes money by mining, trading and hauling. As said before it was consequence of player to player interaction.

If we ( IC ) were to follow lore, we should finance GC and RH, but that's too risky considering my ooRP status in community and server full of meta and power gaming instances, such as "undercover" agents with FL ID who logs in after spotting IC| tag in O5 or O11 and are able to roleplay or rather NOT, anything they see fit with technology combinations that are red for main ID meant to deliver undercover agent role.

So on topic: would you face bankrupt consequence if all of this goes on the surface? Doubt that. If it were for trully immersive roleplay Samura would be banned from all houses but own Kusari, and hunted down for blatant move against direct partners for Kusari.
But in any way, feel free to continue doing what you see fit. It's part of the game. Yet try being more active as Samura| to deliver the good consequence of having more monopoly then. <strike>And to let revenge be spilt upon you</strike>

Dont give me that, who are you to be entitled to ruin my game experience, if i want to trade and make money who are you to say i cant do that, you can do that of course but then it should also affect you, it is only fair.

So on topic yes I would face consequences as much as every other faction is expected to.
As to the other stuff it really doesn't bother me one way or another as I had no problem with what you did.
And sure it was against certain targets, but so is this.
Is there an exact cut off amount wher it became too much.
I am just not sure why it is ok to place a bounty on some but not two more than that amount.
Is this all about the amount?
If it is, please tell me the exact amount.

And that is the core of the problem, ruining someone elses game experience.
This is exactly what I am trying to avoid with this thread to get "constructive" criticism.

Now how is it that if this was up that Samura would be stopping you from making money?
I see a bounty but that is a part of the game, it doesn't stop me.
And of course anything that happens has to affect everyone involved.
Reaction is the one thing you can never stop.
Trust me when I say that even if I dropped the idea now, Samura would still face consequences for this.
That is how this community operates.

I know this bounty is inrp, but it wrecks the fun. The whole reason we are here is to have fun, and with this bounty, fun in Kusari is hard to find.

Very true that this needs to be balanced.
Thankyou for you opinion on this.
Do you have any ideas that could work better?

Im just going to ask this, since before this bounty was inplace how many people actually traded through kusari? how many times where you pirated in kusari on 10 trade runs? and who were you pirated by? Indies or a faction?
