Thread: Play fair.... I AM a bounty hunter....
Checito wrote:
I hadnt hunted jedi in a while, and i was doing this only with Doc buffs and Comp armor. So i took a 45k (base price, he was 180k total) mark.
I tracked him ect ect, and found him missioning with a group. He was lvl 59 and had about 10 Banthas on him with 300 health left. Bang bang... i shot him down... Bang bang he hit the ground (sorry song running through my head) anyhow and i killed him
I did /tiphat and left.
Now one thing before i get into the core of my point is we were both rebel. I was fine with this, its my choice and right to decide if i wish to hunt rebels.
Anyhow first tell (it was in french so i decphired it and i may have made 1-2 mistakes)
"Wow.u attack rebel jedi thats bad."
I replied "I aplogize, i am a bounty hunter. Just because you share my poltical affilation does not make you a ally of mine"
He then says to me:
" u r unfair"
I reply "I am a bounty hunter, we dont play by the rules"
(Heres where it starts to get my head scratching. I am a hunter he is my pray. I do this for money, there isnt room for mercy. And one shouldnt expect that)
He then replies "fine if i c u in pvp i wont help u"
I reply, trying to be mature "That is your choice and you have a right to stick by it"
He says "how much $ u get on me"
"180k i believe"
"Ok"
Alright so i figure thats done with.
Then he says "I lost 500k of xp"
"I was 100k from a new skill"
(Now i wanted to say "If i was sympathetic to that i wouldnt be a hunter" But that was a bit harsh for my taste)
So i reply with a sigh "Thats the price one pays for reaping the bonuses of being a jedi"
Its over, he stops sending tells. Now sorry for taking so long but a few things i wonder about are as follows
1.Why should anyone expect me to play by the rules. I already spent two droids on you, i find you. If you didnt wanna be hnted you can generaly stay off the terms. Also i wont wait fora 'fair' oppertunity to fight when your not being swamped by Banthas. Thats not my job. Really fair play shouldnt be expected from me.
2.I dont care about your exp. Sounds cruel, but i dont. Your prey to me, a animal. As i wanted to say, if i was sympathetic to the exp lose then i wouldnt be a bounty hunter.
Basicly what im trying to say here, is to all jedi who may read this. Please understand those two points...
Thanks for reading.
It is your choice but later on if you wish to become a jedi or if you want to go overt, I take it you don't, No one will help you no one will guild you.
I'm not much of a pvp GCW guy...
And i dont hunt rebel jedi constantly, and i did check with my guild over it. I dont see why someone would even care personally. You got on the terms and your a mark i am a BH.
But also i respect the right that people have to not guild me or side with me in whatever, so long as they can be relativly polite about it.

i agree with you 100%
HOWEVER,(isnt it funny there is always one of these), you cannot complain if he sees you coming and runs for a house, cloaks, hides, catches a ride, or escapes in whatever manner he can(non exploiting, and for the tards who will bring it up, being afk in a house isnt an exploit). i dont care what faction you are, i dont really care why you hunt me, but if i dont feel like fighting you, im gone, and you have no right to complain about it.

if he complains about faction then he is more then likely just a complainer in general and if you were opposite faction he would just find something else to complain about. carebears these days... that xp he lost is made up in hours instead of weeks like it used to be. I say kill them all.
I have just started down the road of Bounty Hunter and as such not reached the point of getting player marks,but,i have already decided that all are fair game (except guild members).
Bounty Hunters are mercenarys we will work for who ever pays us.
Jedi's know the rules , you get seen you go onto the BH terminals and ifi dont get you someone else will.
If the defeat of a Jedi had a significant impact on the faction as a whole then i would think twice.

I here it is pssible tob ecome full template in a week
If the Devs felt it was wrong for BHs to hunt Jedi of the same faction, they could easily make it impossible.
Jedi are on the terminals because they are wanted criminals. I really don't think a cop would let a fugitive go just because they were both Democrats.
BH's Job is to Kill the Jedi he has a mission for.
Jedi has the choice to fight or escape.
As long as these are done within the game mechanics and noone Exploits anyone who complains is just ababy.
Checito,
It is too bad you are not on Flurry. I would love to give you an opportunity to express your attitude on me. You see, I reserve a special treatment for your kind. It is called the triple incap. I allow villians such as yourself to get up, heal to max, and fight for an extended time to ensure you ruin your armor and I can take max condition from your weapon possible. In the end, the outcome will be the same, you will die, but it will be on my terms. I will beinflicting as much possible financial burden as I possibly can. I usually throw in a /giggle at the end too. Hunt your own faction and be shunned and mistreated by all, you deserve it.
I gave him a /mumble of 'The Emperor sees fit to have all Jedi destroyed, yet you serve him just the same.' Here a Jedi is whining to an ally of his faction, when the person whom controls their faction wishes all jedi to be dead. If anything the Imperial BH is more honorable for killing any Jedi he sees. Now, seeing as you're a Rebel, that makes you practically freelance when it comes to Jedi affiliation, but in any case: A Bounty Hunter is a profession made to be devoid of factional allies first and foremost.
Your job is to kill any mark you have taken of your own will, and whether or not people agree with your decision is their own problem. A faction is just a side you take when the war rages, but war isn't all there is to life; a guy's gotta make a living, and one has to do one's job well. Good work.
