Posted November 28, 2016 Hello reader @Motown, First of all, I would like to start by saying that I mean 0 disrespect and I have full respect for the devs and them writing the threads. I think that they just couldn't put in enough detail but they were in a rush or maybe just by mistake were a little bit vague. In a post of yours you said this " Players can choose from a wide range of professions, including the ability to become a Firefighter, EMT, Taxi Driver, Farmer, Bounty Hunter, Fisherman, Logger, Miner, Delivery Driver and even a business entrepreneur. The options available to you as a player get more specific than this even, but we aren’t yet ready to expand on the full list. The direction of development is prone to change, and we don’t want to promise anything that might change down the pipeline. Business ownership allows players to own factories and small business, giving them control over what items are manufactured and sold. Items created by a factory must be delivered to their destination city where store owners in that area can decide what quantity and type (formal wear, casual, punk outfits, weapons, etc.) they wish to list in their business. Some default items are always available in all stores for when market demand is not met" Although most of this is a very good idea, there is something that I would like to address and get your opinion on. Especially this part "Bounty Hunter" I have a few questions I would like to ask and would greatly appreciate if you could answer them for me. Of course any member is allowed to give their input but I am mostly looking for the devs and @Motown for their opinion. 1. Will the bounty hunter job be an illegal thing where you go around and kill people that have a bounty on them. 2. Will there be any RP involved in this arresting/killing. If not then it kind of deters the point of the same in the sense that bounty hunters with money will get sniper rifles and just shoot down their target with no RP and will just cause drama and debates on whether or not that was allowed or blah blah blah. 3. Could you please elaborate in detail on what you mean by "Bounty Hunter". Different people have different definitions of a bounty hunter. Some think that a bounty hunter is someone who works for the police and captures highly wanted criminals. Some people see a bounty hunter as basically a hitman. You tell them who you want dead, and they go kill him. Secondly, the big corporations are a very good idea but I think that they will either have very little influence on the game or way too much, here's why: Corporations are big companies that own a lot of other companies. The people in these companies are at the top of the top and most of them will stay that way until the end of their days. On top of all the power that they have, they have influence. So in this game, the biggest of the biggest corporations will either have too much power and in return, there won't be much of a chance for the smaller companies to get larger and develop. It will be very limited to a few people that control a lot of money and have almost all the power in the world. Speaking of power, if they were ever sent to court on any accounts, would bribery be allowed? Would the biggest corporations be allowed to bribe judges and live free and happy for the rest of their days just because they have money? I don't think anyone would want a big corporation to be able to do that. Although this happens all the time in real life (corruption) I believe that this should have a post dedicated to and the community should be able to become a solid conclusion Finally, if any dev or game founder would like to adress any of this, it would be greatly appreciated Yours forever ~Dickbutt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Well my definition of a bounty hunter is that someone puts a bounty on someones head that is heard throughout the grapevine, any can go kill, it's up to the person looking to kill to look out for others who are also trying to kill that man. Or contract killings. Someone can do contract killings which is a form of bounty hunting, especially if they are doing it for a criminal organization in which the killer will get personal money in return. No cuts or shares. Bounty is all about money, so if the killer kills for enjoyment or if his criminal boss tells him to and he gets a share or cut of the money, it is not bounty hunting. Once the killer ranks up and begins to enjoy his work, and now works full time getting paid full money, he (to me) is a full fledged bounty hunter. RP is needed always. If a player kills another player HE HAS to have a reason. I suggest that the killer HAS to tell the other player out of character why he has killed him. Or else it's considered RDM.

Posted November 28, 2016 Modern day Bounty Hunters are trained professionals, not contract killers like in the old west of the USA. The term 'dead or alive' is no longer applicable to the Bounty Hunter of 2016, they are subject to the law in the the same way as anyone else. It is illegal for a private citizen to place a bounty on someone, and doubly so if that bounty calls for the death of the subject. There is a vast world of difference between a Bounty Hunter and a Contract Killer, one operates within the boundaries of the law, the other one does not. If there is any role play involved or not, well that's not going to be something the Devs can code is it, that's going to be up to the players involved, all the Devs can do is put the systems in place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No sniper rifles! There will be a hunting rifle but not a full zoomed scoped rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
