Bounty Hunter Archive

actually, I think its a cool idea. Most politicians I know already have some combat, since politician doesnt take any skill points anymore. Why not, say an overenthusiastic mayor is city banning left and right and you think its wrong....put a price on thier head! I love it! Wanna stage a coup in a city? Kill the Mayor!! Its awesome, flame if you want, but its a fun idea. Politicos can have as much combat as anybody, and still be politicians, might add new content in the form of bodyguards too! Have to do something like being overt while in the town. The possibilities are exciting.

I'd like to see people who can't keep their vendors stocked on the terms. That would be fun...

Be interesting, if the said BH immediately went 'killable'to EVERY citizen of the city whose politician was killed. Really, its only fair that if you want to hunt everyone...that you pay the price that comes with that luxury. That is, having your poster thrown up in every city...with posse's out looking for you.

Bad idea

I'm Master BH/ Master Carbineer/Master Politician

So does that mean if I commit suicide, I get paid too.

Can we add real life politicians?

I posted something like that in the Politicianboards a while back. It would give them a reason to take on a combat prof or have actual body guards. Most of the people there thought I was a big stupid-head

Because a majority of us are CL-1 and can't fight a durni let alone a fully templated jedi-killer. Let alone being killed for doing nothing more than trying to produce a nice community aura on our small plot of land and provide content for the game community at large. With that said I personally would like to see it but with stipulations that jedi don't have seeing how we aren't illegal nor are we necessarily innately powerful at combat as jedi are. So here's a repost.

Why do you all believe that we would have no recourse but to fight if this had happened? That we would all immediately be up for attack by BH's simply for existing? It doesn't work that way for jedi and it would not for us. Only allow mayors to be put on the terms and only allow mayors to set the bounty on each other, with a realistic credit cap of course and a timer gap. Allow groupmates and militia (in or out of town) to attack the BH with you too to have a security escort.

This would add a huge layer to politics where you have to get treaties and alliances formed if you fear the assassin's blade. We are, afterall, accountants, warmasters, statesmen, and urban planners. All but the last one there can be used to keep your character safe. Bribe the hunter, turn the tables on your rival mayor and put a better bounty on his head, credits can hold some sway in this and your accounting tricks will win the day. Keep a consistent army of your militia and friends grouped with/around you in the event of a BH attack so that you have security to protect you. Stay in the black X-35 while your escort takes care of the fighting. Get an armistice signed with your enemy mayors and ally mayors to prevent this from hitting you hard and politik your way into the safe zone with threats of retribution and or help. Use proxy mayors of smaller lesser known towns to setup the strike so you aren't seen as orchestrating it etc.
