Better yet, cut and past into some word processor, save that, then paste it back into the post. That's what I did with my Lockup and Last Ditch threads.

It was a system based on Fame points and infamy points w/ benifits on either end. I realized that In order to have a healthy bounty system (not like the very unstable and aggravating jedi bounty system) smugglers would have to be motivated to run from the law and to try to survive a bounty encounter. Vise versa MBH'ers would need to be motivated to hunt down smugglers. I came up w/ this great system of checks and balances that ensured a fun and fair good time for all players smuggler and MBH alike. I'll try to recreate it tomorrow if i can remeber it all. But I got to get some sleep right now.

That's nothing. Not only did I come up with the ultimate Smuggling, Slicing, and Spicing system, I even wrote all of the coding for it. It was a very immersive system, requiring not only character skill, but some player skill as well. Slicing had a visual interface, no clicking of buttons, you actually had to cut wires and attach clamps. Spice was not only able to be experimented on for quality, but you could actually determine the effect of the drug by the resources you used.
Smuggling missions were glorious, not just "deliver package A to NPC B", but it was an intuitive system, matching the skill of the Smuggler to the obstacles he'd face. I even wrote in a reputation system where the best Smugglers in the Galaxy couldcompete for the sweet missions.
I also figured out a perfect, griefless Smuggler Bounty system that would make Smugglers and BH's alike really enjoy hunting and being hunted. It was a work of art.
I also added in certain things like the Smuggler's Moon and the Kessel Run. Boy, what a lot of work that was. but it was well worth it... Smuggler Only Content...
... and then my dog ate it. Man, I hate when that happens.
