Bounties...
« on: December 05, 2005, 04:52:49 pm »
Had a couple of people mention them, (and I haven't done a poll in a while)
I'm not sure what the bounties would entail, (what with the challenge system and all)
And House Leaders would have to be exempt I think (which reminds me for challenges..)

But thoughts?
Opinions?

I think the challenges are enough, don't think we need bounties

Actually I need an "OMFG I'M BRILLIANT!!" option

Each house can place one bounty on any pilot of another house.
That bounty has to be claimed by said house.
Each pilot can only have one bounty so it's be a first come first served
Claiming a bounty will result in you receiving something worthy of the accomplishment.

No bounties. With the challenges etc and the different house rules it is complicated enough.

I like this idea.  Say house K'hunt places a bounty on Hexx and K'lap kills Hexx to collect the bounty.  I figure K'lap's reward of a 6-turn lease of a D6N should be sufficient ;D

What about a 'personal bounty' ??  Say I offer 5 karma points for a confirmed kill of a particular pilot ( I want pictures), Can I get away with that ??

That's your finger not your brain, and it's because you
have to press something other than the "L" key to win the game.

Nah, t00l's acknowledged several times that the only way he's beaten me is by cheating.
He seems to be cool with it.  ;D

Cuz I'm really expecting htem to die, plus not all of the house Leaders are what you'd call
"PVP qualified"
I mean- The KBF? I *think* madelf was marginally competent using one, but he's not around,
so it's pretty much gone

DH?- The guy's used to flying a DNH, please, he'll try and castle it while OL photons and watch it go boom

Tracey?
Err actually I won;t say anything about her cuz she's working on new scripts.

Braxton?
 :rofl:

Dax? Duck?
Meet rock

Dfly?
Guy's used to flying Gorn, put him in a C7
and he'll get motion sickness..

Julin will simply miss the froggy voices telling him what to do, become
sad, and just start crying softly to himself while I cut his ship up

Wouldn't bounties offset all of the playtest balancing done to equalize the economic vs territorial vs PvP victory points of the game?

Green has a bounty on him

1 C10K to house that tags him.

I normally don't like bounties, but if it means we can get Tool and Hexx into a deathmatch...  :woot: :dance:

Braxton?
 

Hey now, I do alright in a C7.  Most of the arcs face the rear end of the ship so I dont have to really do anything out of the ordinary.... Run away screaming like a little girl... all I have to do is mash the "z" key now and the along with that and I'm all good  ;D :P

Hold on.  The froggy voices don't tell me what to do, I tell them...

The problems will come when I've got Klingons yelling at me in their combat frenzy, and I forget that all the C7's weapons recharge in 1 turn vs. the 2-3 turn recharges of the ISC's.

Something tells me that Hexx has some work to do, specifically find some way to get the endless ESG-loop going before he logs into the server...  ;D
