Xposis,

In your subject line the word "Exepted" is not actually a word in the English Language. I imagine that you meant to spell it "Excepted"... which would have been a word, but still not the correct one for the intended meaning. The correct word, given the context and the relatively close phonic construction, would be "Accepted".

Below you will find some supporting information courtesy of "Merriam-Webster OnLine" (www.m-w.com). The web site is free, and I highly recommend it.

Main Entry: 2except
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French excepter, from Latin exceptare, from exceptus, past participle of excipere to take out, except, from ex- + capere to take -- more at HEAVE
transitive senses : to take or leave out from a number or a whole : EXCLUDE

Main Entry: ac·cept

1 a : to receive willingly <accept a gift> b : to be able or designed to take or hold (something applied or added) accept ink>
2 : to give admittance or approval to <accept her as one of the group>
3 a : to endure without protest or reaction <accept poor living conditions> b : to regard as proper, normal, or inevitable accepted> c : to recognize as true : BELIEVEaccept the explanation>
4 a : to make a favorable response to <accept an offer> b : to agree to undertake (a responsibility) <accept a job>
5 : to assume an obligation to pay; also : to take in payment accept personal checks>
6 : to receive (a legislative report) officially
intransitive senses : to receive favorably something offered -- usually used with of

Thanks and best of luck to you,

Thankyou for the paste from the dictionary, you could have just pointed it outthough I think my brain was sleeping when i posted that

I will charge the Jedi 500,000 after the 1st incap, with my dots still on them, I say hurry up Jedi, pay or die?! They get up and STEEW STEEW 2nd encap time, price just went up for the delay to 1,000,000 and then they recieve Last Chance Jedi! And most of them reply i don't have that much, and then its Triple Encap time...

Lately though with the use of Heal Timer Macros running, I don't charge at all, I encap, they get teh DB right of the bat.

Fix the macros SOE, im going broke on this gimp salary of 2.225,000 million a day in jedi heads.

I have accepted money to drop the mission before yes....

The fact I didnt drop it and killed the jedi anyway was very satisfying

I've only had one Jedi offer to pay me off so far. I rejected his offer because of this:

I pick up his mission on a Friday night. Track him down and he is with his guild advancing on an Imp guilds city for some Reb VS Imp action. I wait till the time is right and blend my attack in with the massive chaos thats going on around us. Once he figures out whats going on he runs away and I chase. We get about 150m out and he stops as if he is going to face me here, 1v1 without the massive lag from the PvP battle. I almost kill him and he runs again so I chase again. After running another200m he stops and starts to fight again, Once again he barely makes it out alive and runs.... yep I chase.

So now he all out FR3 and gets 500m away from me. Once I arrive I see that he isn't were my waypoint is so I think hrmm, if he had cloak I would have seen him use it by now. So I add him to my friends list real quick and sure enough... after getting my hopes up 2 times that he would fight he finally ran and logged.

Well, if he wouldnt have ran and fought ran and fought ran and logged I might have let him go... or I might have taken his money and DB'd him anyway. Guess we will never know....

Grieving the forums, more fun than playing the game
And it loads faster too!

Well until today i would have never then i started thinking. Surely its in the nature of a BH to take the best deal, so if a Jedi offers you hard cash for no hassle a BH would have taken it. (then killed the mark too most probably). < this wouldnt be very nice though so i think its one or the other.

How many people ou there take bribes, only asking as i just got a call in RL making me rush off when i just started attackin my bounty. I didnt have time to fight and the guy offered me 200k to leave. Yes i took the money for the first time, but why do i feel dirty about it

Own up who else has done this?

Im not ashamed to say it, ya i have accepted the cash before. Mostly from the jedi's group mates, but still I was only in it for the money not extending the grind for them. Someone posted about having a "point tally" that when you get points you get perks and that the points degrade over time and if you go into the (-) that you could get a bounty placed on your own head. That would be kool. ALot of ppl would accept that except those true JediHaters who believe that they ruined the game. For the rest of us who have Jedi and BH's it would give us something that would make everyone who has thrived in making young paddies suffer get jus alittle tasteof the paranoia that those paddies suffer. Granted its the life they chose, but still it has a tendency to be a bit aggrivating looking over ur shoulder EVERY second of time your playing, especially while your still grinding.

Before the trolls start their CMN's, GOAWAY TROLL, or jus ignorant responses, YES i have a jedi, and YES i have a BH. But I have jus recently discovered the real appeal of hunting unsuspecting players. But even though im i vet i still get the pvp shakes when i go out on a hunt. Its been a good experiance so far and although im not the Cut-throat/Ruthless Jedi Hater alot of BHs on my server are, im jus out for the money. The exp loss should still be imposed as it offers a way to keep the paddies from mouthing off and it makes me happy to give them a bloody lip every once and a while.

its fun isnt it being the hunter instead of the hunted. Simple things like just going AFK while you make a phone call w/o worrying about dropping a house or loggin out. I have recently started to RL on occasion now and exepted another bribe of 50k (i know it wasn't but but this Jedi must has sadly just unlocked as I basically incapped him in 3 seconds. Feeling sorry for her as we were all there one day i let her off with just the cost of my time tracking her for 10mins. (and tried to covert her to the dark side i might add)
