Highly, highly doubt it. Most of it probably came from depositing your own money into the safe which most business owners do. The 35k is only how much was taxed after a bounty was completed, 25%...and doesn't include bounties that haven't been completed yet.
Not to mention bounty prices are less than half of what they used to be...I could've kept them high and had mostly the same results (in regards to number of bounties placed).

Well, hopefully, we'll soon find out.
Also, if you were able to check how much was taxed from bounty hunter, the numbers would prove to be astronomical no doubt.

So sorry Jr, you ain't doin' anything that we haven't already done, better.
We've already proven that people rarely used the private system to place bounties, that's why we removed it...lol

First of all, my NUMBER one rule ask anyone was that no one in Bounty Hunter deposited money to the safe. Only time I ever deposited money was if a player sent me money fron a raid contract (Check it) or if they deposited the pay themselves.
Second of all, doubt it all you want... those that were around back then, know it to be the truth, Icarus was manager at the time, GC was Admin, ask him, ha. That was what it was, bra... your system was far outdone.

Not to mention I have never had 450,000$ cash on me or my atm account.

You've PROVEN what? Roflmao? The two weeks of our lowest inactivity ever, we made over 25 percent of what your system made in its OPENING week. Your system made less than 10 percent of what we made in our opening week? You're outdone already.

If it needed to be removed due to failure, the people who's job it is and who are QUALIFIED to do so, would've done it. Not the ones who were hired to build, not think. Seeing as dumb moves like this are made when you think, rofl.

Think about events, not businesses... hmk?

First of all, it's not a business, it doesn't make money -- it's a job. Its main purpose isn't to provide a bounty hunting service, it's entertainment. It's more fun to place a bounty on someone hoping to hurt their score, make them paranoid, or deliver a message than to just pay to have them killed, leaving it at that. It's also wayyy more fun to be able to hunt people yourself.

Also, if you factor in the fact that 35k is only the amount removed from taxes, not the total amount spent by players, and the fact that bounties are on average 70% cheaper than before, my total is if not greater than, relatively the same as, the 450k that you cannot substantiate.

If its not a business, but a job. Why was the "business" removed? lol. It doesn't interferre with your "job" as you put it.

And increasing the price means a decrease in bounties, lol... thats pure logic. It will definitely not pass it, nor even get close, lol.

In any matter, if you want someone's score to drop, shouldn't you have the option of selecting "professionals" to do it for you? Which would furthermore promote the business, and players who were killed due to a public bounty might want the hunter hunted down by "professionals", lol.

My point: There is always a generic and name brand form of a product.

Speedy Pizza = Generic
DD and DH = Name Brand

Gun Shop = Generic Ammo
Ammo Mart and GP = Name Brand.

PPA and Bounty Hunter are not the same, and we all know it. Two Diferent Types of Businesses, with two different products.

Your public system = Generic
Bountu Hunter = Name Brand.

Poor people use you for low-quality service, financially comfortable people use us for quality service.

I see competition in that, so does everyone else. Not to mention Bounty Hunter was a GOAL for many pkers.

I believe Chris and I have given you several reasons for removing the business, all of which were more than valid. Though, none of which you seem to accept.

I just stated that the current system is not a service, and adding another system for bounties would be counter-productive.

I can see how hiring "professionals" might be a good idea, but if something like that was added, it wouldn't be in the form of "Bounty Hunter" as you know it, but would most likely be incorporated into the public system.

Wink

The reasons you have given are a subtotal of none because NONE are valid, not just to me but to anyone but you two.

Reason 1: Business wasn't booming for two weeks.

Circumstances (You seem to have ignored) : Leader was banned at the time, system was malfunctioning, prices were unattended to.

Also neither of you are allowed to delete a business for this reason, lol. This is at the discretion of Daz and Squirt making it further MORE invalid.

Leaving that reason to be invalid.

Reason 2: Impossoble to co-exist.

That was proven wrong long ago, making that invalid.

Thats all I recall, got anymore?

We are the professionals, like I stated no "system" can measure skill to even give you "professionals.

The number one player on your list right now is Rykon, roflmao. He accepted over 150 bounties and failed over 95 percent of them, true professional.

Private Bunter Hunter was only fun for a select group of people, the new public system permits anyone to have a good time. If you think Bounty Hunter was so important as a "goal" for players, make a party. You can still complete bounties.

Tell me it's not the same thing? You're probably right...players probably won't care for it that much because the perks (lame guns/pay checks) don't come with it. But hey, if you successfully make a party that everyone wants to join, you win, you've got Bounty Hunter back...atleast the part that you say makes it important.
