Bounties

Bounties

In version 1.29, it became possible to place a bounty on another player's head. Bounties can be used to exert revenge on a player, to show your dissaproval of a player's actions or just because you're bored and have money to burn.

The Bounty system

Placing bounties

You can place a bounty on another player via a town's Sheriff building or the desired player's profile. You can choose from a list of reasons for placing the bounty, and also the reward that goes to the player that collects the bounty.

Collecting bounties

In order to claim a bounty, all that is required is to beat a wanted player in a duel. A KO is not required and you only have to beat them once to claim the full reward.

Rewards

When placing a bounty, you are able to choose the amount of cash which will be awarded to the player who collects the bounty. The amount you choose is deducted from your on hand cash when possible, or your bank account. 91% of your chosen reward goes on the player's head and that amount cash is given to the player that beats the wanted person in a duel. The miminum amount you can offer as a reward is 50 * the player's level.

Eligibility for receiving bounties

You may not have a bounty placed on your head if you are not a member of a town. However, if a bounty is placed on someone while they are in a town then the player leaves their town, they are still able to be duelled as long as the bounty is still on their head.

If you receive a duel report while you are not a town member, this is not a bug; the Advent Calendar of December 2010 put bounties on the heads of townless players if they opened a Calendar door early, thus making them fair game for duellists.

Reasons for a bounty

There is a range of reasons that you may select when putting a bounty on another player. It is still possible to place a bounty with a reason that may not necessarily be considered true. The reasons you may select for a bounty are:
