Title: Aces High Bounty Hunters.
Post by: SNA on October 03, 2002, 04:13:04 PM
Please let me know if this is not the appropriate place to be announcing this. I donot want to SPAM.

I dunno if anyone remembers Airwarrior Bounty Hunters, It went over quite well.  I have made this Feature available for Aces High Pilots.... It will begin Nov. 1 2002.   ALL Pilots are welcome to participate or add  'Trophies' (A term listed in the rules).

If you would like to see pilots Hunted ( or shot down ) this is for you.

Please take a look at the rules for more details.

DOES THIS MEAN that AH just took one sad little step closer to being just like AW?

I played a game called Tanarus back in the day, which was futuristic tank combat, with a similar arena format to AH.  They had a bounty system built into the game.  The more points a player scored on a streak, the more his bounty was worth.  When you killed a player, you got his bounty added to your score, and your bounty increased as well.  It made for some great bounty hunts which livened up the typical arena combat.  You'd get everybody in the arena going after one guy, while his teammates tried to protect him.  Needless to say, this opened up the opponents to counterattack in the strat department.

The only difference between a hunter and a trophy is... The trophy doesnt earn bounty points he just gives them out... if you are a hunter, why would you want to be a trophy?

Post by: Sandman on October 04, 2002, 04:15:08 PM
If you set it up so that the most prolific hunters were also the most valuable bounties, you would have the makings of a really cool contest.
Title: Aces High Bounty Hunters.
Post by: SNA on October 04, 2002, 04:23:26 PM
If you think about it, the only way to determine how good a bounty hunter is... is to see how many bounties hes collected... thus the more bounties.. the more his 'head' is worth... the way the system is designed... your cool contest just  emerged.

I just registered as well :D  This is going to be something to see what comes out of it :-)


Do vulches count? I didn't see anything about vulches in the rules.

Vulching is the only way I can get kills :rolleyes:

So how exactly are we going to know we kill a bounty if the group gets real big? You say we need to hit some sort of macro and what not, but I think if many people do this, I don't think Ill remember who is or is not a bounty.

Can we cut out the beginning of the films to help keep size down? I know ya need to see the end to see if we die or land, but the beginning doesn't matter right?

Beginning doesnt need to be filmed.

There will be a printable kill list with bounty points. :)   (place next to joystick )

I will get him to fly.... And remember.... maybe giving the pilots that rarely fly a higher bounty...   Harder to find...   A good bounty hunter will know when and where, if he does decide to fly :)

I'm going with Midnight's post here...

I'd like to register as a hunter.  If I do so, I cannot then be registered as a trophy (although I doubt anyone out there would consider me a target worth a "trophy").  Why can I not be both?

I think if you are a hunter, you are automatically a trophy.

If you are a hunter, you have a value on your head just like a trophy. Check out the scoring examples SNA put in there - your value goes up when you kill trophies or other hunters.

The only difference between a trophy and a hunter is a trophy can't claim kills, he's a "target only". Any hunter is both a target and an eligible killer.

Thus, if ya give a toejam about this at all, its better to be a hunter :)

Feels like AW more & more!  Snailio was SNA's servent in AW3, bringing him beer & sheep.  Cleared there 6's several times in AW3 but in the same situation reversed they flew right on over (SNA, & Snailio) didn't even bother to return the favor.  Must have been watching XXX training videos! ;)

Z6, what was your CPID in AW? I flew with SNA and Snail in AW and they were good teammates and skilled pilots. I had my most successful missions when they were in the area. Maybe they didn't like you Z6. :eek:

Uh...how many times did you clear a teammates' six, have him ignore you in return and continue clearing his six? "Many?" Bout the second time a teammate left me in the lurch I quit helping him out too. You are either charitable or gullible, I'm not sure which.

Obviously you don't intend to take part in SNA's little game, and that's OK, I won't either, but that's because I lack skills to shoot anybody worthy enough of being a bounty. However, I WILL nominate a pilot to be a bounty- do you want to guess who it is? ;)
