    I've had one that disappeared the moment I claimed it and saw all the corpses on the floor when I went to the area I saw them in last. Shame you can't do anything about them actively avoiding combat by QQ'ing
    You can if you engage them first. If you manage to hit the them / attack them once and they qq you can issue (i think). It's illegal to use qq to avoid combat.

    Once again was reminded today that it's somehow not so super smart to unphase safely and then just walk straight into a FRIGGING PILE OF GUARDS. Thanks for the quick update, swami.

    Straight up had a bounty QQ rather than face the music. One starburst isn't that bad, is it? :D
    Orr... he ran into his wife he hadn't seen in a year and she won out over being groped by Targs when they fell out of the sky a minute later. :p

  • AnedhelAnedhel
    I didn't really want to name names, but if he actually hadn't turned down dueling over that bounty twice, I'd be happy to give the benefit of the doubt! Going into the sewers then disappearing deeefinitely doesn't sound like 'running into his wife,' but w/e.

    I'd just shown up at crossroads when you two appeared out of nowhere in front of us, so he moved to the sewers, and shipreturned at my request, because our times do not overlap lately and they literally have not had a chance to talk in over a year. Sorry, but there was nothing illegal happening!

    If someone was away from you long enough to shipreturn uninterrupted, they could easily qq anyway  without breaking any rules. A bounty does not mean someone has to prioritise what you want to do over what they want to do, or make themselves available to you to play with.

  • AnedhelAnedhel
    I never said anything about something illegal, did I? :O

    I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I was just saying what happened to me today- I took a bounty, and someone disappeared rather than face the music, that's all!

    Others did, not you. See Xaden and Sobriquet's comments about illegal qqing and issuing on the last page.

    I'm just saying that wasn't what happened. I asked him to come spend some time with Valk somewhere people wouldn't interrupt as they were at Crossroads, and he did.

  • AnedhelAnedhel
    I deliberately didn't include a name because I didn't want to be accusing anyone of anything. It's a bummer that bounties are so easy to escape by sitting on a guardian/running to ships, though, I will say :D

    Shipreturn takes bloody ages to go through... there's guards on all our sewer exits. If he'd sat in the sewer he would have been just as untouchable, but who wants to hang out there?

  • AnedhelAnedhel
    I guess I've never been so worried about bursting that I'd consider going to such lengths to survive, so I can't give you a good answer to that question :D

    What part of 'wanted to spend 15 mins with someone who they haven't caught up with in a year before their player has to sleep' do you not understand, and keep translating to 'tantrum about burst'?

    Keep it up Targ, at this rate you'll just make all the casual PKers decide it isn't worth time raiding you ever, because their bounty hunters will not only try to kill you fifty times even if they fail each and die trying, but constantly tell you you're not playing fair when you get sick of it and go somewhere they can't. What a blast we're all having huh?

    Hope that's what you want.

    I responded to a comment made by Sobri. While it came up as a result of Anedhels comment it had literally nothing to do with Anedhels bounty. 

    But, to be fair, it's hardly surprising you'd be defending someone for trying to dip the consequences of their actions.

  • ValkynValkyn
    Yeah. Funny that, because I believe in consequences relevant to actions. Harassing someone for 6 days non stop like Targ is for one raid up to a year or more ago, from someone who barely attacks you? That's not remotely reasonable. If you were being reasonable, people may be more interested in playing ball. 

    If it was a hard core PKer who's raiding/fighting you every day and they're trying to dodge it, yes that's a bit shit.

    I never said anyone's throwing a tantrum. I just said I don't get why someone'd drag it out! I'd personally rather go die in two minutes than have someone chase me around for three RL days, but that's just me!

    I also haven't said someone's not playing fair, for the record. I haven't accused anyone of cheating or anything, have I?

    It's not like I'm out to personally grief anyone- it's just one death, just a bounty. No more'n ten minutes either way, probably, and it'd be over- if people accept dueling me, I don't jump 'em for it again when I lose (and I do make that very clear when I offer the duel)!

    Really, I didn't even want to get into this, which is why, again, I didn't mention a name or anything, so I'm not sure where this accusation of me wanting to give you crap OOCly is coming from, to be honest!
  • ValkynValkyn
    I didn't say you did at all. Someone else from Targ has recently, and it's a pattern I've noticed. Throwing yourselves suicidally at guards to get a bounty and then complaining someone qq'd because they weren't interested fits that pattern though.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Six days?

    I asked him to duel a week ago, he said no, fine, I left it on the board. I took the bounty earlier tonight. I tried breathrain at crossroads, died to the guards, broke in to try and force him out of Hashan, for a total of fifteen minutes, at the very, very, very most. I haven't attacked him a single time outside of that, so are you sure you're not exaggerating a little bit?


    How many times can I say this is what TARGOSSANS have been doing, not -you- specifically. The kamekazi attacks just seemed like you were going on similar paths, but I was not personally accusing you (and did not specify that) of it.

    I need to sleep, I'm passing out, and I'm far too far away to make out sorry Aerek. Sounds fun though.

    One raid = One bounty/death.

    It's pretty simple.

    If you decide you want to avoid that bounty / death then you spend 6 days being chased. It's pretty simple to make it go away.

  • ValkynValkyn
    It's not the bounty/death that really bothers me it's the ooc borderline harassment that comes with it when you don't die and make them happy.

  • AnedhelAnedhel
    S'okay, s'okay. I'll do my best not to bring up Hashan and bounties in the same sentence again on forums :D

    You do realise how bounties work, right?

    I'm sure this isn't the same for everyone but I like people like Anedhel that speak up about their bounties. I wish I could see who accepted it, so I can contact THEM to duel it out.

    It's fun.

    Raiding has consequences, and it turns out I enjoy this one! some days I'm less enthusiastic about it like when I'm about to lose a level, but thems the breaks

    If you don't want to fight a bounty holder (and by all means, you're not required to), you don't have to, but that doesn't mean the potential of consequence should go away. I don't log out when I get bounties placed on me - I'm just more careful and watch where I'm going, and either look out for the individual if they contacted me, or just watch out for citizens of the city. If I'm out, I watch who is around me and keep an eye on alertness. If I get found, I slip away.

    Exempting like, Seragorn, it's not usually too terrible to just be aware and careful for five days. Kind of adds a fun bit of risk to your every day.
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking
    Shown in this shaking                                                             Though crazy
    Lately of my wasteland, baby                                                 That's just wasteland, baby

    Whenever someone gets a contract/bounty for me, Seragorn and Proficy are the two I hope don't get it. Those two are relentless in having it completed. :( It does make for a more exciting time of not being able to sit AFK for ages like I usually do when logged in, I guess :p

    I always ask :o Manhunts are boring, I even let people off if they kill me in the duel. I think a lot of Hashan does that, I know Tyamat, Kasa and Lala do, at least, there's probably others as well. I don't see much point in taking a bounty if the person you're after isn't in the mood to fight. They're just gonna run to guards/ship and wait until it runs out most of the time.
  • KalitheaKalithea
    Once I get some more arena experience under my belt I'm going to start trying to complete them. Even if people won't duel, the thrill of the hunt! Tally ho!

    I'm back from my Make-A-Wish trip to Berlin. It was awesome, but I did a lot of walking and my feet hurt. I'm looking forward to getting back into Achaea and not walking for the next month until I move to campus. :smile:
