Kal-zu and Dark Marauden

Well I`ve never played UC and I`ve had paid accounts on more than 1 server for over 2 years and I still like the idea so meh.
it is probably a bad idea but I always liked the idea of having mercenaries. Maybe have some kind of credit transfer from another empire to them for making hits on certain empires. Lots of room for abuse and would probably mean lots of coding for Stephen so it`s a bad idea but I still like it and u wont change my mind :P

the old players are were the money comes from, not fly by nighters that stay a month or two then sod off, assuming they even get a paid account


Anyways in regards to the realities of bounties in GC, how would they be implimented?

Credits?

Easily got by strip mining or actually playing the game

Infra levels?
The old players would milk them for all they are worth and the gap between new player and old vet gets even larger than it already is

Land hand outs?
Nop we have had our share of them last year and that just screwed everything up.

Arties?
Nah everyone gets their knickers in a twist, especially the slower servers were arties can make or break empires

Minerals?
Thats why we have miners, have mineral hand outs would make the race next to useless cos the amount of minerals rewarded would have to be decent tpo even motivate most people that could actually pull off the bounties being offered (assuming high PR KZ/DM kills etc like the past)

Planet hand outs?
Seems to be a realistic approch and would possibly work, 5k barrens are handy but for established empires that are already `colonied up` they are just a temp boost were as the newer player they are a fantastic boon.

Wild card rewards?
These include otherwise unobtainable rewards like 1 land Spaz`s (also covered in the above option), infra level turn reduction (like the effect once all missions are finished, even for races without missions), boosts to loyalty over the 5k limit (ability for guard to gain loyalty outside of lucky captures and missions maybe?) and many others I cannot think of at present.

Could be something worth thinking about but DONT call them bounties, they are rewards, a bounty is what you put on someones head you hate, a reward is for finishing something and obtaining the offered prize, the reward for the action.

because then all the old players will start crying that GC will become UC, and we dare not make them mad. ^_^

well wasnt UC meant to be trial ground for GC ideas? and why cant we try out a few of their features here?

it would be a nice source of income for the D Maru :D

bounties are for UC, sorry

And the tital of the thread is screwed up...it`s Marauder..nor Marauden that admin...geeze :P

yeah, bountys would be good as.

ehh, that`s all nice, but having sections that you can click on like a normal forum would be nice. Also there is no search function from what i can see.

check the links at the top ;)

Forum > General | Strategy | Wanted | Federation Help Center > Ask | Inbox | Public | Announcements | Updates | Bounty | Top Stats

... it would be cool to see bounty being used, if funds could be transfered for such things

Basically my last post is just saying that things could be better structure with the forums on our end. That`s all *tip toes away* :p

Maraudian, I wouldn`t allow two scum bags ruin your duties as an administrator. In all honesty, I think that is unfair punishing all of us because of two jerks. You can snap your fingers and make those two disappear if you ever so pleased. <--Biggest thing I wanted to say..The rest is just ideas hehe.

If you do not like how people accuse you and other administrators about the game, you should ACTUALLY make the forum a bit better. This way you can go to that section if you decide too.

A good forum format example is www.furcadia.com/forums . The creators did a great job by sectioning off things. Suggestions, Offtopic, General, and so forth.

I don`t know WHY this game doesn`t have something like that dudes.
~Suggestions (Post accusing stuff here)
~Offtopic
~Federation (Where newbies can find a federation to go too)
~The Market

If people post anything outside the section, you move the topic to the proper section and give the person a warning to stay on topic.

Kal-zu Knossos. Has a nice ring to it I think. Only in my dreams...

land increase for that event was for colonies and planets over 1.5k land total so homeworlds, spaz`s and small colonies were excempt from the land increase

Id like to see a special event uw in the near future :)

they havent come out since tbk and sk8land accused me of using them to planet trade with CC on RT , but not because of them , because you all believed there BS and rioted resulting in me removing my admin status forcing paid staff to waste many many hours in dealing with it , why do i bother wasting my time making events for yall if one pathetic loser bypassing a blacklist for being a cheating peace of scum can cause such an affect.

but sk8 would take this as a compliment and encouragemen t to contniue because hes a loser while tbk im sure has grown up and moved on ;)

I still remember when Stephen gave everyone 50 land on all colonies. Wow that made a lot of people with spaz`s a tad upset...lol

ohh...decreased land in a spaz...that`s good. wasn`t the 10% land increase on clusters only?

i certainly dont want a land increase on my u.spazial. if anything i want it decreased to1 land. or 0 if thats even possible.

well, if you notice the winner`s list you`ll find that kalzul got on there one or two times on the RT server. That`s usually what he`s used for. Some time back everyone got like a 10% or 20% land increase for defeating the D Maru i think.

We need more events like that where either everyone gets some sort of (non btc/pcc) prize or something.
