FORUM - ROGUES GALLERY



Welcome to the Bounty Hunter Guild article. 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 become a Bounty Hunter.

The Bounty Hunter Guild (BHG) is a forum for bounty hunters to talk to and coordinate with other bounty hunters. It has a public area which is available to all and a private area which is only accessible to bounty hunters who have submitted the required evidence as proof of their trade. Though bounty hunter coordination may also take place on other forums, particularly group forums, this is the central forum where most of the coordination takes place.

Bounty Hunters, Player Killers, and the Rogues Gallery

A Bounty Hunter (BHer) kills Player Killers (PKers). The BHer/PKer relationship is similar to a game of cops and robbers, though given the lack of official law in Malton BHers might 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.

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 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 (increasing by 1 for each kill within the same month). 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 is transparent and evidence based; screenshot evidence of a kills 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 gained its independence from the DEM but 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.
