The return of bounty hunters

[ghaleon]

For those of you who remember the times of bounty hunters and orc mercenaries I was thinking "why not let them back?"

I personally loved them, even though I was always evil and they were constantly chasing after me

This gave a reason for players to not continually kill people until they were FIEND. Theres nothing positive about a person doing that on a mud.

I liked bounty hunters, I also like them white assassins.

I thought that a tradwars like system of rewards and bounties would be the best thing to do here. I'm not a PVP pusher but a little can be fun especially if there's a good reason for it. The bounty hunter bit was a little one sided in my opinion so if something like bounty hunters is put in there should also be dark assassins (kills the goodies) for the areas that have a more evil lean to them.

I have seen muds where if a player 'reports' another player that recently robbed them, they would have a bounty on their head. A message would be instantly posted on a sign in town square. Then anyone that read the sign and tracked down and killed the person would suffer no evil points. The person could either just be killed, or sent to jail. Either way it would give more player interaction

I posted something like this in the idea forum a while ago. The idea was that it would replace the retaliation period. I like the idea that the attacked player could be sent to jail that would be a very cool effect if the two players were fighting in a town or just out side of town. It would be a little too unrealistic though if they were say out at markus and got sent to say silvermere's jail (just to give a distance idea).

speaking of robing players, you could make robing someone work in this game, that would be nice
