The main purpose of the skull is so you know you can't trust anyone. You know there's a bounty on your head, and you know anyone out there could've accepted it. Part of bounty hunting is getting the target out into the open...somewhere where you can kill them. If they want hide, more power to them...just makes that bounty even more of a challenge. I doubt someone will never leave unstick me ever again because of the skull on their head.

I'll look into hiding the skull, but it will probably require me to create some work-around script with a timeout instead of just using a player.attr[]. I don't see how it's annoying...no more annoying than a shield, head, body, etc

Uh, even if the skulls were gone, their level of caution still would be high after your first attempt.

90 Percent of hunting is using trickery, the bounties you claim without tricking the player are the ones that really have no meaning. I'm known for tricking everyone, even staff into going where I need them, get creative.... and stop complaining.

In any event, Sales... which one of you deleted Bounty Hunter, you or Chris?

It wasn't the sole decision of one person.

You could've saved me this step, Daz wasn't a part of it nor was Squirt (I was told by them). So it was a joint actiom by the two of you? (Sales and Chris Vimes)

Yes, it was agreed on by both of us, though I won't bother explaining our reasoning since I'm sure you've already decided why we did it.

Thanatoses · #51 06-03-2009, 04:55 AM

Not at all, I wouldn't bother asking a question in which I knew the answer to. So I'm all ears, I'd have preferred such a discussion beforehand, but better late than never.

So lets hear it, unless you want to get private (messages).

salesman · #52 06-03-2009, 05:31 AM

Squirt knew, he just didn't really voice his opinion on the matter at all...but it seems like common sense if you're going to create a publicized system for an already existing private business, the business isn't going to stick around.

Thanatoses · #53 06-03-2009, 05:43 AM

Personally, I didn't care much for the system because I was told it'd co-exist with the private, by Chris Vimes.

Its not so much common sense because no one expecially me saw a publicized system making it impossoble or difficult for the original tp exist.

If you want, to clarify my point I can forward a message I sent to Squirt, to you.

I didn't know that he told you it would co-exist, but I really don't see why he would if that wasn't the plan. Actually, I highly doubt he told you that. If he did though, it was more than likely just to get you off his back.

Thanatoses · #55 06-03-2009, 05:58 AM

Unlikely, seeing as he told me that, which was my first knowledge of the publicized system, before that I knew nothing of it.

Also, you haven't answered my question, what was the necessity in deleting the business? I mean overstepping your boundaries, and etc? I mean, you had to know it wouldn't just stop there.

As I pointed out before, the business existing would only benefit the publicized business.

Which leads me to questioning your initial intent, was it to make Bounty Hunting available to other players or was it to nab a slight reason to remove Bounty Hunter?

cbk1994 · #56 06-03-2009, 06:21 AM

I do not recall telling you that the two systems would coexist, but rather that I did not know all the fine details, but they would coexist from what I understood at the time. Obviously, when learning about some of the other stuff, I decided, with Sales, that it would be best if it did not coexist.

Please stop trying to classify everything I do as some kind of "personal vendetta" against you. It is well known that I do not especially like you, but this does not mean everything I do that is not in your favor was done to hurt you.

Actually, this was my motivation:

Motivation to do what? Seeing as like I keep out, deleting a BUSINESS was neither within your right to do or NECESSARY to do in order to create that system. Its existance would not have interferred with your system (I've seen the system).

Leads me to the question you've avoiding, why did you remove it?

Because it was replaced with a public system...

When you're making a new system you do not keep the old one around. That's the way things work. I'm sorry if you feel like you drew the short straw...another example is when Speedy Pizza turned into a public job, the private version was not kept.

I won't speak for him, but my reason for wanting to remove it was because I did not feel the two systems could co-exist, especially since the current one had nearly no business.
