New Player Bounty System Release Information!

Ok….Since SOE and LA removed player bounties from the game, I propose that we follow in the footsteps of the great N’Varra Wren, and create our own.For years N’varra, upset with the apparent lack of content in the game has been creating her own mini-games, quests, and content for the player base on Eclipse, and it has been received VERY well!

This is still in the initial planning stage, and I need your input!

Player bounties under the NGE are non-existant, however, with careful planning and mature play, we will be able to keep a version of the system alive!This will require 2 basic factions.The hunters and the hunted.

To achieve the factional spilt, players would join one of two sides, for purposes of this example we will call them HUNTER and HUNTED(HSmuggler, HCommando, HJedi, for example)(this could work with any existing guilds though, this separate guild functionality may be more immersive)

Any player with a grievance against a member of the HUNTED guilds seeks out a member of the HUNTER guild and files a petition and death warrant with HUNTER.The player posting the bounty would pay up front to the HUNTER guild, which would keep the money “in escrow” in the guild’s PA HALL until the bounty was complete.The HUNTER council then “posts” this death warrant to the guild via guild email, with the mark’s name, general information about the grievance, price of the death warrant, and an email address for “proof of death” screen shots.

HUNTER members, then go out and hunt down the mark (though without seekers, and probes).Upon a successful mission, the HUNTER member takes a screenshot and emails it via the internet to the council member who posted the bounty.The council then verifies that the death was “clean” and accurate and pays the HUNTER from the escrow account.The player who posted the original bounty is notified of the death of the mark.Council then sends out a guild email canceling the effective bounty on the mark.

That is the general idea that I am working on.This system is predicated on maturity.Only players wishing to participate will be involved.The HUNTER guild and the HUNTED guilds would declare permanent guild wars on each other.

Rules:

1. Only players wishing to participate will

2. Any player who attacks another without an active bounty (outside of PvP, ie Rebel vs Imperial) can 3. be brought up on charges, and banned from the guild for griefing

4. Bounties will ONLY be paid for valid “proof of death” screenshots emailed to the HUTNER council.

5. HUNTER members *may* team up on a bounty, though the original amount will be split between members of the HUNTER group engaged with the mark

6. HUNTED are allowed to help their team-mates in peril from HUNTERs

7. Any member of either side is eligible to be either a HUNTER or a HUNTED.If you are wearing either guild tag… you are either a hunter or a mark.

This is strictly voluntary!!!At anytime, anyone wishing to participate may join, or leave.No questions asked!

All guilds would have a leadership council that would ban members who reported attacked one another when no bounty was posted, or out of “revenge” for a slaying.

This system idea is based off of the limited information in the Bounty Hunter Wars involving the Bounty Hunter’s Guild.It will function very similar to that of the guild in the books.

Please, let me know what you think!I have posted this on Eclipse Galaxy Board, the Jedi Board and the Bounty Hunter Forum, but please post all comments to this forum so that I can keep them all in one place!
