Bounty Hunting - "Official" Thread

[Juno]

So, my simple bounty hunting system has been approved by Burter, and I have also been approved to make this thread. All of the rules are in that topic, so have at it. Hopefully this will take off. Just to rephrase, the process is:

1. Someone posts a bounty, giving all the vital info (name of target; reward; reason).
2. Someone accepts the bounty.
3. Bounty hunter tracks down target; staff approves roleplay by announcing that they have found the target.
4. A thread is made in the spar/fight board; if the bounty hunter is declared the winner, then they must make one last post of bringing proof to the local bounty hunting station.

NOTE: Bounty hunting should be considered a long-term project. It is not meant to take a short amount of time, unless the target is very weak.
NOTE2: If a person so chooses, when they post a bounty they may post any extra information in the post (number of people allowed to go after the bounty at the same time, etc.)
NOTE3: Bounty hunting can be done in groups.

Wait, what?

People post bounties for other players' characters, and if a 'bounty hunter' accepts the bounty then kills/captures the other player character, then they get the money. Of course, you'd have to RP for it, but hey

I know that. I've spread this idea around a few times before, recently I gave up on it.

I don't see this working though. Unless we incorporated some kind of karma/reputation system (which isn't going to happen) to warrant bounties from NPCs. I don't see PCs putting up the money, at least not an amount worth chasing.

1) I'd gladly put up like a 500-1000 zenni bounty just to contribute to this noble, noble cause.

2) Are you interested in bounty hunting yourself, or is this just something you want to see done?

[Juno]

1) That would be cool of you.

2) I might try my hand at it if it fits into Zangya's storyline at some point, but mostly I just thought it might be a cool idea.

And Burt said NPCs putting up bounties ain't gonna happen.

[Jack]

This would be like a charity at most. People just throw some money into it every now and then to accomodate the inactive-bounty hunter-scavenger types (me).

Goddamn you red underlining, how the fuck do you spell accomadate?

This isn't a discussion thread for Zangya's idea. This is clearly the official thread.
