    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    SG Server
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Bounties in SG
    What are you suggesting:
    So just like in GTA when u can phone up Lester and set a bounty on a specific player to earn money when the person kills them. So outside SG you maybe type /bounty add wolfspy7 3000 and whoever kills that person gets the 3k lets say.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It would make people get people that are either really hard to kill or really annoying to kill. It would also be a little fun addition to the SG server as its looking pretty dry now not gonna lie. Not only that, but it would also allow people who aren't very god
    Other information:

    Plugin or custom addition:
    I'm not really sure how you would do it but I'm sure it's doable some how?
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    Love the GTA reference, lol.

    I think this would be a fun idea, but I feel like this would encourage teaming and might indirectly benefit toxicity/harassment. Idk. I’m at a 0 rn, not -1 nor +1. Curious to see others’ thoughts.

    +1 The idea is really good, however a little thought on how to apply this so people don't abuse it probably maybe if enough people set that person as bounty it becomes valid and maybe limit the amount of money.

    -1, this will encourage teaming against one user probably because you don’t like them

    Would be able to constantly bounty someone just because you don't like them / promote others constantly killing them which results in flame wars.

    I mean you could just bounty them back. Plus the person wouldn't be that mad about getting a bounty set on them adds a bit of challenge and if they don't die the money goes to them so bounty setting isn't likely to cause too much harm. I feel the person putting the bounty and the person receiving could both potentially benefit.

    I think we used to have bounties back when mining world was pvp. Those days were fun.
    +1

    Maybe just limit it to 1k and have a 24 hour cooldown? That way it's not a huge deal and you can't ruin someone's whole day by spamming it.

    I suppose you could if you had the money.

    That sounds like a per-person sort of opinion right there and doesn't hold true for everyone.

    Why suggest something that would bring any harm at all?

    How could both parties benefit?

    If anything, this would just promote people in large teams to "coincidentally" let people with bounties in their team to win if the rule of "and if they don't die, the money goes to them" so they'd make more money. It's a flawed system and one that we don't need as people would surely abuse it.

    The SG plugin we use is already limited in scope, and I don't think Andrew would be willing to spend countless hours with our dev to implement this. Plus, I have to agree with the reasons above. SG already gets toxic enough at times and we don't need anything else adding to that. -1

    I mean personally as CrazySwagMaster1 said if it's regulated and has a cooldown I see no harm I mean it's just an idea I've thrown out there we can always adapt it to make it more fair. It works in GTA why not ECC.

    When I said it won't do much harm I mean it won't do much harm. Are u really saying that no suggestions that have been suggested have caused absolutely no harm whatsoever. There's pros and cons of everything. SG is back with it many players have come back. Downside people are a little toxic. I mean to say why add anything with a little harm is absurd because there is downsides and opportunity costs for everything.

    I mean with the chat sg people can be as toxic as they like tbh if they bring it into global enforce the law I mean it is your job it seems staff want to try to avoid any sort of work these days. As for the hours spent with the dev It can be done over a long period of time doesn't have to be done instantly and we know #noeta.

    I mean this suggestion is only to add a tiny bit of flavour to sg. Right now it's okay but it's still a struggle to get more than 5 players in and I feel that adding this idea could bring peoples attention back to sg. Welcoming other ideas as well but at the moment other than the one off events sg still has a long way to come to make it as good as it was or even better.

    People can get scammed, better remove EcoDollars. Welcome to CommunistCityCraft, comrade!

    As long as the bounty has some sort of tax then no matter who takes the bounty, less money is going to that person than was initially paid to place it.

    This seems like a good bit of fun. Honestly if you think it's salt inducing... just turn the tables and get a friend to kill you and split the bounty with you. People won't constantly bounty you if it's just free money for you.

    I'm a firm believer in keeping things simple. And honestly, bounties don't really add anything to SG, I feel.
    Also there's the fact that if you put a bounty on someone that doesn't mean anything will actually happen, as it's trivial for you to get someone else to kill you and split the cash. So why the fuck would you even put a bounty on someone? Getting a group of people and hunting them down yourself is much more effective and won't cost you any money.

    I'd have to say -1

    Yeah Xboys angels kinda does that already. However I still feel like this could be a good idea because although teams can kill each other and get free money with only a few people playing sg in off peak I think it will offset each other. PLUS if the bounty is set on the team member and they get someone else to kill them at least that's one team member down and then it gives you an opportunity to win.

    In my opinion something like this is not necessary, and it wont help in adding those extra few players to sg that are needed to start games. The problem with sg starts with the fact that sure you can play, but youll make what 9-10k in an hour, and thats if your lucky due to all of the teams in sg. I personally think, why would I join sg and play for an hour for money that isnt guaranteed when I could make for sure money, and an easy 2x+ that doing anything else. People like sg, you saw that during the sg event that andrew held, there were plenty of users playing. So maybe hold some competitions, and these dont have to be andrew competitions, users can start their own competitions with incentives to join.

    Also from what I have picked up since the release of sg, Andrew has no intention of doing anything custom with it, he has so many other things on the list of what needs to be done, and sg was really just something to introduce to keep the people who enjoy pvp happy.

    I would also like to point out, that in the last week/two I have seen so much flaming in global due to sg, adding bounties would definitely make that worse, sg is fine the way it is.
