*'''Zombie Criminal''' - A criminal (or "target") recorded on the Dulston Alliance's Black List who is currently a standing zombie. Keep in mind there are only two methods to score points when killing a zombie criminal: when they are inside a building or standing at a revive point. Injuring a zombie criminal at any other location (i.e. outside a building) is scored as an assisted kill if the zombie criminal then proceeds to enter a building or return to a revive point while still injured, whereupon they are killed. | *'''Zombie Criminal''' - A criminal (or "target") recorded on the Dulston Alliance's Black List who is currently a standing zombie.

*'''"Top 10 Most Wanted"''' - A list comprised of criminals from the Black List who are considered the most annoying, hardcore, and/or deadliest criminals in the northeast. As this is Northeast Malton we're talking about in general assume they're just the most annoying. 'Deadly' just doesn't factor into the equation that often. The list may be updated from time to time during the competition, but all bounty hunters will be notified in advance of such an update. Updates to the list of criminals are not retroactive (in terms of scoring). | *'''"Top 10 Most Wanted"''' - A list comprised of criminals from the Black List who are considered the most annoying, hardcore, and/or deadliest criminals in the northeast.

*'''Assisted Execution''' - This is when two or more bounty hunters work together to injure, and kill, the same target. In order to be considered a part of an assisted kill each bounty hunter must inflict at least 15 damage to the target and report the attack (post proof). If at any time the criminal is restored to within 5 points of their maximum health (45 of 50, or 55 of 60) the bounty hunters who attacked the target previously are no longer counted towards the assisted kill score. There's a lesson to be learned in that kind of situation. | *'''Assisted Execution''' - This is when two or more bounty hunters work together to injure, and kill, the same target.

The following is a list comprising the "Top 10" bounty hunters who participated in the '''Hang 'Em High''' competition. It should be noted however that not every bounty hunter joined the competition on the official start date and not every execution was recorded/scored (as proof was required for each one... and sometimes in the heat of the kill this was overlooked). Nonetheless, here stand ten of the thirty-one bounty hunters who chose to compete. Each bounty hunter who made it onto the "Top 10" list not only earned their place in the glorious history of the hunt, but will also be remembered for all time. | The following is a list comprising the "Top 10" bounty hunters who participated in the '''Hang 'Em High''' competition.

This year's bounty hunting competition started on June 4<sup>th</sup>, 2010 and was to end on July 9<sup>th</sup>, 2010 at 12:00 PM (EST), or for six weeks. However, as fate would have it the zombie situation in Northeast Malton, which had left suburbs like Dulston, Rhodenbank, and Pescodside contested became more serious as the competition progressed. On June 21<sup>st</sup>, 2010 it was decided to postpone the competition until a later date, so that survivor efforts could be refocused from hunting criminals to hunting zombies. However there never seemed to be a "good time" to restart the competition and it was finally decided to wrap-up the 2010 season with a final 3 day closer, which ran from August 4<sup>th</sup>, 2010 to August 6<sup>th</sup>, 2010 at 12:00 PM (EST). | |||

Welcome Bounty Hunters
Welcome bounty hunters of the northeast! The Hang 'Em High competition takes place in Northeast Malton. While the Dulston Alliance is sponsoring the competition it is not restricted to its members. In fact, whether you are with an Alliance member group, an Alliance ally, or just a local independent survivor, every pro-survivor in the northeast is invited to join in and compete to earn various trophies, including the prestigious Hang 'Em High trophy itself. The competition brings together all pro-survivors against the misguided criminals which disrupt the peace of our fair suburbs with their wanton slaughter and vandalism. The competition will run for about a month, but with a clearly defined start and end date. Also, while the main competition will center on the four northeastern-most suburbs of Rhodenbank, Dulston, Rolt Heights, and Rhodenbank, any criminal wanted on the Black List is fair game no matter which suburb they have skulked off to hide in. Just keep in mind that all targets MUST be on the Black List to qualify as valid executions. Point SystemBounty hunters competing in the Hang 'Em High competition may earn points in various ways. The following is the complete list of all standard scoring methods:

Term Definitions
The ScoreboardThe following is a list comprising the "Top 10" bounty hunters who participated in the Hang 'Em High competition. It should be noted however that not every bounty hunter joined the competition on the official start date and not every execution was recorded/scored (as proof was required for each one... and sometimes in the heat of the kill this was overlooked). Nonetheless, here stand ten of the thirty-one bounty hunters who chose to compete. Each bounty hunter who made it onto the "Top 10" list not only earned their place in the glorious history of the hunt, but will also be remembered for all time. 2010 Scoreboard

Nothing But A StatisticOh sure, we've all heard it before... the self-aggrandizements of the criminal masterminds of Malton. The way they chortle maniacally to themselves while murdering and vandalizing. Many of them have over-inflated egos, which does little for them because in the end the Hang 'Em High competition reduces them to their most essential and basic function. They're all just statistics. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Competition History2010This year's bounty hunting competition started on June 4th, 2010 and was to end on July 9th, 2010 at 12:00 PM (EST), or for six weeks. However, as fate would have it the zombie situation in Northeast Malton, which had left suburbs like Dulston, Rhodenbank, and Pescodside contested became more serious as the competition progressed. On June 21st, 2010 it was decided to postpone the competition until a later date, so that survivor efforts could be refocused from hunting criminals to hunting zombies. However there never seemed to be a "good time" to restart the competition and it was finally decided to wrap-up the 2010 season with a final 3 day closer, which ran from August 4th, 2010 to August 6th, 2010 at 12:00 PM (EST).

Memorable MomentsThe following are a few of the highlights which took place during the Hang 'Em High 2009 competition. Most of these events took place, as you can guess, right near the end of the competition. It really is much easier to see how frustrating the winds of chance can play when you're down to the line. Botherers-in-Arms: Many of you may not know this but N00bert, the leader of FOXHOUND, was actually in the lead for the Brothers-in-Arms trophy coming into the final day of the competition. However, he was only leading by a single point, although he was oblivious to this fact. The following is the actual chain of events that led to his de-throning and caused him to snap:
Last Minute Entry: During most of the competition Rotten Ray was doing great. Better than great actually. Awesome would be a more accurate word for it. He had a huge lead going into the 3rd week of the competition and no one was even near his score. It seemed like every time someone in the top 5 ranked bounty hunters scored Ray managed to score soon after and maintained his healthy lead. Ray seemed to always have a large "buffer score" between himself and anyone who ended up in 2nd place. And so this continued until the final week of the competition... It was in the final week that Druboo and Ottari closed the gap, whittling away a seemingly insurmountable lead into the kind of lead that could potentially be beaten. With this in mind Ray had, how should I put it... "lost his cool"? You know this when you get a forum PM inquiring about the exact time when the competition was supposed to end, even confirming my time zone (EST). Well this was understandable considering the turn of events. I advised him the deadline was at midnight (Eastern Standard Time), because that was based on where I live and I would be calling the final countdown. As fate would have it though going into the final day Ottari managed to actually come close to overtaking Ray's score, but in the end he appeared to be 5 points shy of tying Ray's score. That was a fair number of points, especially when you consider there were less than 5 hours left on the clock. The surprise came while I was counting down from 14 minutes to midnight, Ottari posted two final executions worth a total of 5 points. Wow. Talk about just making the cut. My thought at the time?: "Couldn't you have gotten 1 point MORE or 1 point LESS?!?" And that's how Rotten Ray and Ottari ended up tied for the coveted Hang 'Em High trophy, which makes them both Northeast Marshals until the next competition is held. Well on the bright side, having two excellent bounty hunters in the northeast could hardly be seen as a problem, now could it? A Common Theme: All the images used for the Hang 'Em High trophy templates came from one source. Or at least they did in the end. Originally I had several different sources for the trophy images. Deadly Wit? The French knight from "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail" who insulted King Arthur. The other images were from various other sources with even a historical photo of a real bounty hunter posse for Brothers-in-Arms. However after some thought I began to wonder how I was going to tie each image together. There were photos and drawn image. Black & white images and coloured images. I considered turning all the images black & white or filtering them with the same tone. But none of those ideas really seemed to "work" for me. The images would still be too different in my opinion. Then, while hunting around for ideas, I ended up replacing the "Lone Wolf" trophy image with one I thought was a better choice... and that's when a thought occurred to me: Maybe ALL the images should come from the same source. And so that's what I did, though it took a lot of searches. Hours actually, as it's always easier to find images from various sources than it is to fine them when using only a single source. Can you guess the source used? And yes, the images WERE PhotoShopped to hide their true identity. I thought it was very fitting, all things in the competition being considered.
Anime Sucks ----- As you can tell, and so could I, the front runner was really out there in front. It was at that point I decided to keep this under my hat until the end of the competition. A Relentless Joyride: For those of you who are not familiar with how scoring for the Relentless trophy works it is based on executions reported for any criminal on the "Top 10 Most Wanted". When you execute a bounty and you earn a point towards this trophy. For the sake of keeping things interesting I counted not only pure executions, but assisted executions as well. This opened up the scoring to anyone who had even helped kill one of these criminals. Now looking at the chart below the answer as to who won the Relentless trophy is obvious. Ottari is clearly the winner:
Ottari -------------- And yet when I was actually tallying up each bounty hunter's scores it was more of a rollercoaster ride trying to determine exactly who was going to win. At first I thought Rotten Ray had himself another trophy, after all he had already won the Lone Wolf trophy which meant he had the most pure executions to his name. But then Druboo appeared seemingly out of nowhere and started racking up kill after kill, with most of them on the "Top 10 Most Wanted" list. It appeared like he was mostly targeting this group of criminals, no doubt because they scored the highest points in the competition and Druboo seemed to be in it to win it. His score jumped from nothing to the same level as Rotten Ray in even less time (keeping in mind that Druboo did not join the competition from the very start). It wasn't long before my tally had Druboo surpassing Rotten Ray. At that point I figured Druboo would claim the trophy to add to Deadly Wit. In an effort to prove me wrong however there were a few other bounty hunters whose tallies started to add up quickly and in short order as Druboo's scoring slowed down. Among these bounty hunters was Ottari. When Ottari first started rising through the ranks I thought, "Where did that come from?". By the end of the final day Ottari had a one-up on Druboo, and Ottari's last-minute executions, which included another individual from the "Top 10 Most Wanted", was just icing on the cake. Really, he just came out of nowhere.
