Maxwell's Gang

---

OVERVIEW

---

Floyd Maxwell and his gang are becoming more and more notorious the longer they remain at large. Over the last week they have hit six Universal Shipping convoys and each time they turned bloody. The Liberty Police have sub-contracted the Bounty Hunters Guild to go and deal with this Rogue and his gang in their hunting grounds.

Lucas Sims is candidate to become a Bounty Hunter Guild-master and is currently leading the operation. He has managed to make a name for himself through using just as ruthless methods as the Rogues against them. His successes has given him an ego as big as Houston and this operation is not just going to be another notch in his belt. The hunters will be focusing their efforts on the California system. Maxwell's gang have been highly active in this area over the last week and this is most likely the place to encounter them.

FACTION BRIEFS

---

Big Game:

"Eyes up people! Keep them guns forward. We might be dealing with rabble but don't for one second underestimate how dangerous mongrels can be in a pack, especially if there's even the slightest sign of weakness! I want to see our boys out there discharging the kind of force that House security has gone too soft to represent, grind these fools into dust and bring us home that pot of gold. We're not the LPI, we don't need the targets to be breathing after we're done with them.

So do anything you need to do to get the job done." ~ Lucas Sims.

The Gang's Angle:

"Some people have got the smarts to say that any publicity's good publicity. But what do you call the kind of publicity that gets contracted killers sent out after you? That's just fear, so now that we know that we've got the fat cats shaking - Haha! - Time to tighten the noose and up the ante I say. They think we'll just roll over and play dead under their thumbs... Nah, what we're going to do is tear their arms off. Go big or go home, 'wise man once told me.

And sure as hell we're taking it all." ~ Floyd Maxwell.

Patiently awaiting for the inevitable "I shot the sheriff" jokes.
Best of luck to the participants!

Now that look like an interesting event. Is interaction with the NPCs limited to members of their respective factions?

Edit: Having it run only through Friday and not into the weekend seems like a strange choice to me.

Nice to see some more roleplay-oriented elements in an event finally. More of that please.

Anyone can interact with the NPCs, but they do have a purpose when they are in game so I wouldn't expect them to opt for a lengthy chat when around
