BH- Licensed Bounty Hunters

[BH-Bounty Office]

Here is your opportunity to say whether you like the direction the BH- Bounty Hunters are going or not. The Bounty Office appreciates all feedback. We are trying to add to the BHer effort bringing more targets to both members and nonmembers alike. So far we have been having fun.

Yes it is the good path but i voted No.
Trying to run for the first place will make you fail for one reason. You do not see the faction as an organization I've already said that GUILD is the most important word.
You're opening a recruitment thread to recruit BH while you should find support for the administrative work. Most BH are already registered and i bet they do not feel the need to tag (maybe i'm wrong)
The BHG Job board is more a daily bulletin any BH can find in any BH stations so it needs a very good preparation to be efficient.

I'd liked to see something like :

BOUNTY HUNTER GUILD
[font=Arial Black]Job board

One shot hunt

Callsign : Crazyboy
Tag/ID : unaffiliated/Pirate ID
Class ship : bomber
Reward : 2.5M $
Client : unrevealed
Time limit : 07/06/2008 (IRL)

Repetitive hunt


Long term
Assistance contract payed by Liberty : 250k for a kill under the command of an official agent (Liberty credit payed 3M)
Bounties on clan OPG 2M per taged ships

This is what i call a "open" job board, sharing informations and open to all registered BH.
Last critic, i do not see a single positive exchange between you and the other BH faction proposal... I hoped that all of you will try to work together to succeed. Hope you've done that already...

Whatever, i write a lot but do nothing and will do nothing.

Ok now what would i will do

Create one FL account with :
BHG|Liberty_Office location Manhattan
BHG|Rheinland_Office location NB

Create one FL account with
BHG|Bretonia_Office location NL
BHG|Deshima_Office

add on one of the account the BHG|HeadQuarter which is a battleship stationed at Rostock (the central bank)

The Office characters are contacts for contracts and payement. All the "council" can log them so the availability is almost permanent. Any character can pass a contract online with a BHG board.
Immediatetly, the player log on the forum, use the shared forum account and update the Bounty Hunter Guild Job Board.

Now find 4 more players ready to share the responsabilities. Send the .AD for FAM. If you count, there is 5 characters, 5 players... None are really a "real" Bounty Hunter but are the Organization that allow fast and reliable bounty contracts. I hope you see what i mean by administrative work.

For the RP purpose, the BHG|Office are "IA". they contact all the BH registered online and inform them of a potential target online. The Board can help to form group as they all have the name of the registered BH.

When the management of the Office are clearly established, i bet that the customers will find a secure way both in the forum and in-game to work with the Guild. They know that the job of the Office is to make sure that the contract is known by all the registered BH.

let me give you an exemple of RP on-line
- Samuel.Lance.Jr :"*open connexion, BH credential : HOTEL3*"
- BHG|Liberty_Office : "Good morning journeyman, how can i help you ?"
- Samuel Lance : "List of the wanted criminal in Liberty"
- BHG|Liberty_Office : "*opening Data Job Board* Copperhead, Morgan Freeman, Draif, LH~Moriarty
*scanning system* Copperhead texas system, end..."
- Samuel Lance jr: "More info on Copperhead contract"
- BHG|Liberty_Office : "Cooperhead, IFF Xeno, ID Xeno, class ship : taidan bomber, current reward 2M one shot, client : unreavealed."
- Samuel Lance jr: "Coordinate uploaded. Assign priority one on Copperhead under my BH credential. End connexion"

Now imagine the load of work you will have when 4 or 5 registered BH will be online... the solution, open a group and put them in contact... now the Guild is really open and dynamic. I bet that the wanted criminal will have really hard time and the BH can at least talk together, work together and have the feeling that the guild exists.

It is looking like an utopia isn't it ? Not sure...if someone is ready to RP a BHG|Office and loose his time not for the glory but for all the other players.

And last final word to be harsh.
I thought that the forum "Faction feedback" should be use by the official faction or at least by players factions who have posted a solid faction request proposal and are active even before their faction proposal (Scornstar was perfectly right when he started a thread)

the BH Guild is a project that i really want to see alive. Because, many issues around capital ships, the wide Sirius police fear are related to the bad image of the BH. We, BH are hated, while we should be trusted and feared as lawful characters.
So i am very talkative on the subject, and i'm sorry for that. But, once again... Take your time, read and use the forum for the good (ask to move this thread for exemple). What you're doing in the Job Office is talking as if you were a clan while you are not an official faction, do not represent the Guild and are not yet officially a faction request proposal unless you already paid the 500M paid.

You wanted a feedback.... :ylove:

Was gonna p/m but you said post so...

I think you guys are learning that BH can be most effective if there is partnership. I don't think any faction will ever have all holders of the i.d.. in their group, and BHers tend to be a mostly pretty independent minded bunch. Not inclined to be bossed around.

Your board could be tidied up a little, made a bit more easy on the eye and a bit more detailed. You need to grab people's attention. I like that you are restricting some contracts to members only, it adds an inducement to join. I think you can forget about people pitching in to help if you're not gonna cut them an equal share of the pie when it comes to your bounty on the OPG. Equal risk but our lives are worth less than yours? You guys also need to start cornering the market on other bounties being offered. I know that it'll mean that you're competing with me, but hey that's the nature of the game.

Having one person play the office in-game is going top be a real drag. Why should you share information in such a laborious way when all people have to do is do some research on the jobs board once in a while? Grouping up with other known BH in-game is the way to go: you can share info that way and help each other out.

Spelling mistake in the Poll post. Come on now, you're supposed to be professionals.

You say you guys are having fun. Seems to be successful so far so...

Had another thought. (Another one?)

Use photobucket or some other image storage facility to hold evidence of kills, you'll use up your space for attachments quickly on the forums.

Thanks Athenian we realy do appreciate the support. I will try to clean up the board, usualy i like to play more than i post. We do not realy want to compete with the rest of the BHers in the game. I am imagining occasional scheduled system raids we will open for all BHers to participate. But you are exactly right.....our numbers now are small and i am trying to give RP reasons for people to join up. Plus the investigations and collections seemed like a fun interesting way to RP a BHer.

Yeah i agree with the bossing around thing. That is not very BHerish to me either. We don't plan on having a hierarchy or a boss. Just a job board. If you want to call that the boss, then sure go head. The rules we do follow are the ones the admins want enforced anyway. No bounty hunting in cruisers and up, use bounty hunter ships and equipment. Those rules are less to have a boss, but more to be accepted by the admins and community as a whole.

More targets, fairish fights, more group hunting, and fun RP, that is what i am hoping for. Maybe if the BH- numbers improve we can call you guys agents too and let you participate if you want in all jobs on our board. You understand we need to get our numbers up first.

You can probably understad that i want to promote group hunts against the OPG. They are a tough bunch to hunt, and great battles ensue. They have taken out my BHer more times than i can remember, but i have also taken out many of them including their leader. Plus i am hoping the independent Bounty Hunters will partner up with BH- agents and see what we are about. Maybe join and if not, we will know who likes us if we decide to go raid somewhere and need assistance.

Wow, yeah that does look better. For the bounties for all i will try to do that. I hope you don't mind if i just cut and paste.

If the collection list for BH- agents gets as long as i hope, there may not be enough room on the original post. Hmmm, I will change the origonal post around some, tell me what you think, or if you can come up with any ideas on how not to make the first post too huge it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the input.

Would be nice to have all Bounty Hunters registered before being recognized as Bounty Hunters.

EDIT: After all ... aren't you all supposed to be part of a Guild?

[Robert.Fitzgerald]

My problem with this is that independent bounty hunters, which form the vast majority of the population, are shunted out by the proposal. It aims to represent the "Bounty Hunters Guild", but it in fact only helps those with "BH-" in their callsign.

It's fine and dandy to have a faction/group, but don't suggest that this proposal is for the Guild itself.
