Now again, not a BH, just a smuggler looking for a way to help my own profession. Now I have read posts stating that you would like us to be able to slice the terms to get names. Obviously this won't happen, here is my proposal, and I apologize if this idea has come up before.
After a BH picks his mission and goes and talks to the Infomant, how about having the informan physically give an item to the BH. To decode the item a BH would have to go see a Smuggler. Here is where the possible prevention of assumed griefing would begin. The smuggler can only decode it and not read it. Once the item is traded back to the BH, he must accept the mission, again preventing some griefing not all. The mission must be accepted and cannot be dropped. In order to accept another bounty you must either kill the mark or wait 3 days till the mission is automatically dropped.
This way, you do have the name and still you can't just dump a mission and pick another one because it is a friend or guildmate. You either kill, be killed, or wait 3 days.
Also going to a smuggler would be optional. If you don't have the name you would be able to drop the mission.
I realize some of you won't like the idea about being unable to dump missions but this prevents people from constantly going after the same Jedi over and over.

What do you do when there are no active smugglers around? Perhaps you could also be able to take the disk/item to a NPC and have them slice it for you also. Interesting idea all around, make for good rp also.

I agree it is a good idea. I would think that both NPC's and PC's could do this. Maybe have certain NPC's in certain cities being capable of doing this. Its hard to say though. Not sure how much coding this would require. It sounds like this would require a bit of changes. I dont think they could do this by Pub20 though. I am sure that just adding the name to the probot would be the easiet for the devs to work in though. At least with Pub20 that is.
