An interesting idea

Yes, I think that target should be somehow rewarded if we keep hunting successfully hunting them. Since they have played the game as target (since neutralization was possible), they should be allowed to become hunter. That won't prevent them for being targetted by a contract through.

We can also reduce the numer of required neutralizations

I need to know the reason I was targeted for the termination

Hi nuts

The only reason you were the fist to be targeted was because at that time you were directly ahead of me in the Metaverse. It was when i looked at you ahead of me i got the idea for this game. It kinda evolved from that. Nothing personal buddy, you just happened to be the one ahead of me at the time

Going to open a new area in the embassy forums for this game later today. Please add your ideas for the rules / regs. etc into that thread. will make it easier to correlate them when the time comes to vote on them. At that time there will be an open vote for the various rules as to whether you agree or not. We will try and keep this process as diplomatic as possible.

Some great ideas coming forward though. Please keep them coming.

PS No contract issued?????

Mace the Embassy is your website for the Empire? Are you going to do the game only here or there as well? Can I use this concept at my own website? I am new to this and only beginning to understand how it works. Now I will probably be targets being I am a rookie!

Is there ever a reason for a contract made? Can anyone make them at any time? I ask because it seems someone can have a problem with someone and use the game to get the frustration out.

More I would say that only me PP benefit since I am the only IBH who actively hunt

Give me a chance and i will get there. Unfortunately i cant get onto the web at work so i can only look into the forums at lunch or in the evening. i will get one though

DF the embassy is the communal forum for the diplomats-empire domain. However at this time i plan on running the game here only. Hopefully this will bring some life back into these forums again. By all means use this concept, however we would like a 'heads-up' before you go ahead with it.

Anyone can ask for a contract to be issed. just follow the directions outlined in Peace Phoenix's last post.

The score sheet for this game will be created over the next few days (time permitting). A basic idea is alredy available at the ibh website.

Nothing personal buddy


Your disrespect has been noted. I read hidden. The matter is out of my hands. I honestly feel that you are one of the reasons God put evil in the universe. There can be no free will without it.

                      
#183  by Senator Drengin - 10/22/2004 8:12:16 AM

Not sure whether to take that as a compliment or an insult

There are no accidents there is only retribution.

A cleansing and then a healing are needed in the verse.

Thanks Mace! I was wondering if the Embassy forums were Empire only. I will give you a heads up and credit placed where it is due. It is a very original idea as you know and I think you should run with it. If Stardock likes this idea putting code into the website to handle it would be great! Heck I could see this being a great online forum game to play maybe sell it for certain website software. Just a thought.

How could there be any hard feelings over something like this game?

...
you guys better be Roleplaying, cause it's sounding a bit too personal there, don't take it too far guys, k?

okay after reading a few back pages, it seems to me this is being taken a little too far, and the game is still growing, changing, it's still in the experimental phase, probably a little bit too late, but i think we all need to think a bit more level headed.

Please use emote Icons people. This site is supposed to be for fun. Most of us only know each other from this site and electronic messaging can be misinterpreted.

Have a nice day

                          
#188  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 10/22/2004 11:11:09 AM

Good comment Newfy! I wish everyone at all websites had the same logic and insight as you do. Why be online if you are not having fun eh?

An observation and a couple of suggestions

First, being a victim doesn't really hurt anyone other than maybe a little wounded pride, right? You can choose to ignore the game, even if the game doesn't ignore you. However, maybe we need to make a list of willing participants and post it so only people playing can be the target of contracts. Opinions?

One problem that we see is that we don't want victims avoiding the forums to avoid targeting. So, why not make the contracts secret. Perhaps set up a Bounty Hunter only forum where contracts can be posted. Create a seperate email account so people can email their contracts to the list (Mace may need to administer this). The contractor may specify terms such as amount of points and duration of contract. Even allow multiple contracts since they will be listed there for the bounty hunters to keep track of.

OK, so how to keep the IBH from running amuck? Well, that's where we come in. How about we Guardians start acting like it and join in the fun. Whenever we see a termination message posted by a Bounty Hunter, we can "arrest" him and confiscate his points. We follow the same rules as contracts. We must be the next post after a termination post (except the "perp" can't count his own posts to protect himself). If we arrest someone, we get the points and the Bounty Hunter can't complete another contract for at least X amount of time (2 days? 1 week?). Also, (more work for Mace) keep a record of number of arrests for Bounty Hunters (bad for them) and for Guardians (good for us). Finally, should a Guardian be the target of a hit, he can not be the arresting Guardian for his own "hit".

Advanced rules - A Bounty Hunter may avoid arrest by naming his contractor. The Guardians then have 48 hours to arrest him. The Bounty Hunter then does not get an arrest credited to him or need to wait out the arrest time, but still forfets the points to the arresting Guardian (States Evidance )

What do you all think? Worth a try?

Sound a bit complicated. And there is more active Guardian than IBH

Make it a list of those who have opted out perhaps...

That makes sense to have a list. I think the rules are a bit complicated but this would be a way to handle things for time being to prevent anyone getting upset.

I take the stand of Pro-Life. The other side is Pro-Death. It's time to choose. I believe there is a voting mechanism which could be used to settle this. I am brave enough to stand up to a vote. Are you brave enough Mace? Oh, I shall use your word instead. Are you a coward Mace? I honestly wish you good luck in supporting your Pro-Death platform because I honestly believe you will need it.

                      
#197  by Citizen Evil Druid - 10/22/2004 9:32:10 PM

Aww Nuts are you joking. Please clarify. Mace invented a game for fun. He meant no personal afront to you or your values. Mace stands for fun. He may have missed the mark, but in his heart he had no malice towards you or anyone else.

This game should be terminated. At least 2 out of the 3 targets agree.

                          
#198  by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 10/22/2004 9:50:53 PM

Ok, you guys are freaking me out. ITS A GAME. FOR FUN. NO MALICE. NO REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS. At least as far as I see. And it is hard to freak me out. So, since this is scaring me, I think I'll just drop out of here.

                      
#199  by Citizen Krazyhorse - 10/22/2004 9:58:46 PM

I think you all should drop this game, some people don't agree with it. Lets sit down at the shade of the Bramkush tree and smoke the pipe of peace filled with scared grass.
