Greetings to all, I would like to engage the community to see if there is any major interest in participating in a bit of risky behaviour for monetary gain. Some of you already enjoy fighting anyways and so this would simply be an added bonus on top of something you already like to do.
As most of you are aware there are some bad dudes already roaming around out there picking on who ever they please and to most this is nothing new but as we all know it will only get worse before it gets better. So, who ever might be willing to take it upon themselves to hunt down any of these ne'er-do-wells would be kindly rewarded in the form of subscription tokens for delivering their skulls.
Of course, I have to put some restrictions in place in order to ensure this very generous offer does not get abused by the same people it's intended to impact and so there will be certain limitations involved and necessary evidence to be reviewed before payment can be received.
Normally the exchange rate will be 1 token for 1 skull but depending on the overall value of the skull (or in other words, how strong the character you killed was or how prominent they are in the community) would mean that you may get more than one sub token.
The following prerequisites must be met/agreed upon before you will be asked to deliver a skull in exchange for a sub token:
- The skull must be developed and the character must have had a total of at least 1 million or more Learning Points. (This total LP number is subject to change as the world progresses);
- You must provide a screenshot of either the body in gear before it has decayed or some other form of screenshot/video that would serve as evidence that you participated in a fight;
- Proof of who the individual was or which village they came from, at the very least based on as much information as you have available, may or may not be required. One example of this would be screenshots taken showing the scents pointing towards the village/hearthfire from several different directions or pointing towards the body itself;
- Messages to collect a bounty can be sent to me via PM or posted in this thread but either way you MUST make contact with a main forum account. If you attempt to collect a bounty with an account that is newly created and appears to be suspicious or appears to be an alt account then I will not reply; and
- Upon delivery (delivery meaning you bring the skull to me), you give me the skull and then I give you the sub token(s). We do not make the exchange any other way.
Who can set a bounty? Most anyone can do so but as the main intent behind this is to set bounties on an individual, village, or faction that has initiated an assault or other form of crime on another player/village unprovoked, I also reserve the right to refuse any bounties that would be set or collected by those same types of players depending on the circumstances.
How do you go about setting the bounty? Anyone is free to set a bounty by posting the relevant information in this thread or by private messaging the details to me and I will update the secondary post with all valid bounty information. As the need to avoid retaliation in setting a bounty may be important to some, players are not required to use their main account in the case of setting a bounty but please do note that your bounty will be more believable if you do post with your main forum account. There is still some information that you will be required to provide as much of as possible, this information is the following:
- Details of the events that occurred, what if anything was the reason you were attacked/targeted, other information you may deem pertinent;
- Scents? Locations of any and all scents that you are aware of in relation to the crimes that have affected you, your village or your allies personally;
- Track the location if you can and provide definitive screenshots showing the scents do indeed point to the location that houses those you intend on setting the bounty for;
- Map Link of the target in question; and
- I will not make this absolutely required in order to set a bounty but if you are comfortable doing so you are free to also screenshot/link the location of your village/hermitage that has been under attack. If you intend on posting another village/hermitage on their behalf it would be nice if you could obtain their permission before doing so.
I want to set a bounty on someone for a different reason, can I do that? Sure, you can post any type of bounty in this thread if you want and explain your reasoning for doing so but I will only update the main Bounty List with bounties that fall under the requisite criteria and only these bounties that have been appropriately requested will be subject to a subscription token reward from me upon delivery. If you want to reward players yourself for collecting on a bounty that does not meet the conditions of this thread you may do so.
Can I reward bounty hunters in addition to your subscription token reward? Yes, but I still need the skull to be delivered to myself personally and they still must provide the necessary proof that I require.
What if I set a bounty on an individual and he does not meet the LP/developed skull requirement? This is certainly a possibility which might make it better to put the bounty on the individual's location/village if you know, rather than on the individual themselves. This way bounty hunters would instead target anyone from that location
Don't you think someone might use this as an opportunity to set a trap? Definitely and this is a risk that the bounty hunters will simply have to be willing to take. If you feel like a bounty is suspicious you are always free to voice your concerns within the thread or to myself privately. Should this occur and a group or individual ends up being ganked because the bounty was set as a trap and they happen to come out of it alive with any reasonably valuable body/skull I am open to some discussion on higher reward in this circumstance.
Someone has posted a bounty on me and it is unwarranted, what do I do? If you believe you or your village have been wrongly targeted for a bounty please make it known to me or in the thread and provide as much reasoning and evidence as you can as to why you believe someone is targeting you. In this case you could very well reverse the bounty on to them instead and I would be willing to reward bounty hunters for delivery of their skulls should I be convinced the information you have provided in counter is accurate and true.
If I complete a bounty, how or where do I make the delivery? You will have to let me know, I will of course be creating a location in somewhat neutral territory for which players will be able to meet with me either on a main or an alt. This location will have visitor gates and I don't intend on directly posting it to this thread but rather you will only find out the location should you complete a bounty and decide to deliver a skull. I have no doubt it will become known eventually though.
I believe that about covers most of the important information but if there are any further questions or concerns someone would like to see answered please ask and I can respond and update the OP, as well, I welcome any and all suggestions for how this could be done better. Keep in mind that if you decide to post a bounty on someone there is always the risk that bounty hunters might run in to you instead.
