FORUM - ROGUES GALLERY Bounty Hunter Guild Abbreviation: BHG Size: Various groups and individuals Goals: Greater coordination between all bounty hunters Contact: Forum Welcome to the Bounty Hunter Guild wiki. This page has been written with an emphasis on bounty hunting and so does not necessarily provide a neutral point of view. Here we will explain the typical terms used in the community and any tools and resources which might be useful for anyone interested in becoming a Bounty Hunter. The Bounty Hunter Guild (BHG) is a forum where bounty hunters can talk to and coordinate with other bounty hunters. It has a public area which is open to everyone and a private area accessible only to bounty hunters who have submitted the required evidence as proof of their trade. Though coordination may also take place on other forums, particularly group forums, this is the central place where most BHers now meet. Bounty Hunters A Bounty Hunter (BHer) kills Player Killers (PKers). The BHer/PKer relationship can be compared to a game of cops and robbers, though given the lack of official law in Malton you might consider BHers to be more similar to vigilantes. Some say BHers are PKers themselves, others suggest they are a different entity entirely. There are significantly more PKers than BHers and as such a more challenging style of play and and many opportunities to make a name for yourself await any prospective new hunter. Challenges Leaderboard Player Killers In the literal definition of the term a player killer (PKer) is anyone who kills another player, but since every character in Urban Dead has a player behind them even killing a zombie would make you a PKer. In more practical terms a PKer is one who kills other survivors that don't have a bounty themselves. They do this for many varied reasons, or for no reason at all. The Rogues Gallery The names and current bounties of all reported PKers are recorded on the Rogues Gallery (RG). When a PK is reported the killer is assigned a bounty of at least 2 per kill. The list is maintained by a group of volunteer moderators and the information it contains can be accessed at any time by any body. The RG uses an evidence based system. Screenshot evidence of a kill and other required information must be submitted with any PK report or bounty claim. If the evidence does not exist or is not sufficient the report will be rejected. When first created the RG was operated by the Department of Emergency Management from the Brainstock forum. In 2006 (?) the RG became independent from the DEM, but it still had its own area of the Brainstock forum. In 2010 the RG moved to a new forum and a new system were claims and reports are added directly by the user rather than via a separate forum. There are various other PKer list run by other organisations throughout the city, but the BHG supports the Rogues Gallery only. So you want to be a Bounty Hunter? Becoming a BHer is easy, all you need to do is start killing PKers who are listed on the Rogues Gallery. Several tools and resources exist to make the job easier, but it's possible to do it without them. One way to learn the ropes is to join a group which specialises in your new trade and you're in luck because there are several to chose from. Each of these groups have their own recruitment process and you can find out what you need to do on their wiki page. You might also spot their recruitment threads on various forums. The next section is a list of the groups which currently have access to the bounty hunter guild. You wont go far wrong joining any one of them.
