Dam.. all i had to wait was about another 3 hours... butr I couldn't keep my big mouth shut any longer

There should be some way that I can save myself...

Also an Idea to make the bounty's climb...
If a target survives the first posted bounty then it should go up the next time they are targeted.. so that one could then become informas...

Interesting concept! I do not quite understand how you assassinate someone by posting a message but it sure sounds fun.

This is just the rule of the game: post a "termination" message just after one post (issued after the beginning of the contract) made by the target. The hard part is to find a post from the target (could be difficult if he doesn't post due to the contract) with no post after.

And yes, it is fun. But only IBH members can make an assassination.

Target J.T.Qwerk eliminated here


Now wait a minute where was the Contract issued? If it is requested by someone other than IBH it should at least be confirmed by IBH that it is underway and it should be confirmed in this thread. If it was I apologize for the outburst but I did not see it issued here by IBH.

Look at post #66.

Peace, my point is the contract was not confirmed by I.B.H. So I think that the contract was null&void and now Lordadmiral Atlan of the USO (closest thing we have to cops) is after you.

As it wasn't confirmed for Icho Tolot. And the confirmation isn't in the current rule.

So I think that the contract was null&void

Unless my emperor say the contrary, I will stick with the current rule: as soon as a contract is posted here, the 48 hours countdown begin. No confirmation are needed. Only refusal of a contract will be explain (like targeting an IBH member, issuing a contract before the end of the previous ...)

Still, it would be nice to see a formal announcement by the IBH in this forum that a contract has been accepted.

surely someone who is targetted could terminate the assasin thus taking them out of the race?

Would make it far more fun!

I propose that if someone is targetted they can terminate any IBH member by posting a termination thread immediately after a post from that member. That member is then unable to make the kill. Other IBH members are however able to continue the chase, possibly even terminating immediately after the target terminated the previous IBH member!

Termination of an assassin by the target should also increase the bounty on the target by 25!

Yes, nice to see, but don't make it a prerequiste.

Nope, it would make it more like a war. And it would be something like : if contract is issued, then target can terminate all IBH members.

More, there aren't many active IBH members in the forum (mainly me and Mace)

Now, if you want to generate a termination war in the empire forum, go ahead and propose your rules.

Whew.... that was close....

thanks NewFy.. it was posted but never accepted freom what i've read.. I may have missed it though



                          
#86  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 10/19/2004 7:41:10 AM

arghhh... an i dead or not....

Darn script writers... can never get it together...



                          
#87  by Ambassador Solitair - 10/19/2004 7:45:53 AM

Oh it wouldn't be a war, it would be like cat and mouse.

Target identified, IBH assassins moving in for the kill, but always having to watch their backs in case the taraget out smarts them. Sounds much fairer!

Would also automatically have the benefit of increasing the value of those targets who were good at defending themselves!

You are dead

Think 'real life'! would an assassin broadcast to the world that he was actively targeting someone! I dont think so.

As long as there is only one contract open at any given point in time we will automaticaly accept it.

We are also thinking about increasing the time allowed from 48hours to 5 days. This is due to the fact that some board members do not make posts every day so more time is needed to 'get them'.

The whole idea is still in testing really. At the end of the month the IBH members will gather together and discuss the final rules and regs. for the contracts. This will happen in the embassy forums and all will be welcome to participate.

There should be conequences or a outcome to the game to make it really entertaining. Maybe an actual scoreboard of hits and targets. There are no points it seems and something type of rewards should be given for targets avoiding being hit, and assassins who are tallying up a nice list of hits.

You probably have considered most of my points though I figured it would not hurt to bring them up.

Interesting movie how does it apply here?

Foreshadowing

                      
#93  by Citizen NewfyScotian - 10/19/2004 8:59:43 AM

Mace, can there be more than one contract active at a time or will they be sequential?

How about making it a bit more interesting like if a contract was out on JoeSmith.

JoeSmith can be protected by anyone that posts after him unless it is an IBH assassin. (this is how it works today)

But JoeSmith can also be protected if he posts right after an IBH Assassin. This would allow JoeSmith to post with safety.

Since there is only 2 IBH assassins actively posting this shouldn't add too much difficulty.

                          
#94  by Citizen NewfyScotian - 10/19/2004 9:02:45 AM

And another thing, if the person in this case JoeSmith eludes the assassin for the 5 days he/she should get the points that the assassin would have gotten.

But this needs to be a little more complicated, since JoeSmith must have posted in the forum. It would be too easy otherwise.

Safety from which assassin?


                          
#96  by Diplomat Peace Phoenix - 10/19/2004 11:17:14 AM

I was thinking about something:
If John Doe issues a contract on Joe Smith, we could perharps allow Joe Smith to terminate John Doe before being terminated. In this case, the contract ends with the termination of the person who have issued the contract. And Joe Smith will be awarded the points associated with the contract.
Naturally, John Doe's post issuing the contract can't be used by John Smith for termination purpose.

See http://ibh.diplomats-empire.com for scorecard



                        
#98  by Veteran Icho Tolot - 10/19/2004 12:32:43 PM

The score goes on the mark? Interesting

                          
#99  by Senator Drengin - 10/19/2004 12:55:46 PM

Still not the final look of the scorecard. but i thought i had better throw something together to show how the previous 'hits' had done
