Question How would you feel if your character had a bounty placed on them?

[Soundwave]

It's as simple as just don't.

If someone can't be bothered to read the very clear consent before toggling it, then I don't know what to tell them.

Obviously yeah, it'd be a good idea to collaborate with the people, but the point is if the toggle's on then it's fair game, especially if this is in tandem with a legitimate Bounty Board post.

You open yourself up to the consequences then be ready to face them, imo.

If that's the case, if we're treating the toggle as ultimate consent for it, then it should be fine to be revoked at any time for any reason.

I.e. Seeing a bounty hunters post targeting you that you have no interest in writing with, completely ignoring said bounty hunter's post, and promptly turning off the toggle then continuing as if nothing happened should also be acceptable without OOC coordination.

Then just don't have the toggle on and just collaborate with BH's you are open to writing with. The toggle is quite literally saying "I'm free game to anyone who wants to take a crack at me" not "I only want to write with a very specific person"- if that's the case then you already know who you intend/want to write with at that point, so having the toggle on would be pointless other than "I want to look cool".

I still fail to see what's so difficult about keeping the toggle off if you are not okay to being hunted.

What's to stop a series of independent bounty hunters disrupting a faction thread, or a mission thread?

Nothing, ideally.

So if I were to jump into every Operation Cinder faction thread in an attempt to kill Darth Solipsis because his toggle is on and I put a bounty out as he was head of a faction that ran an annihilation years before I even joined, it would be his fault for leaving the toggle on?

Yes.

It should be an opt-in system

It is.

Who hurt you?

Who hurt you?

Myself in past incarnations

I'll modify my bounties so I'm not dishing out what I wouldn't want to take, I seem to be less trusting of the average writer anyhow.

Be constructive or get out, derailing is my culture and you’re currently appropriating it.

It should be very obvious by now site staff are very interested in these threads regarding these questions, so lets try to stay on point since real change is possible with our interest involved.

Csariden - you bring up a goodpoint and i want to use your reply to build on something i was thinking of.

The BH toggle is mechanical and symbolizes conscent. Yes, but there is no definition of ultimate consent. There is still OOC which would be and is relational. And imo should be absoluty still encouraged, but for this context its not dependent on. You can't make a cool collaborative story if there is. You don't have to have the toggle on, but if you do you can always tell other writers your boundries, you could dodge left, you call your own hits, you could run away, you get ultimate consent over your own character. You could even retcon a rp or interaction if you wanted to, it's your story, your character, do what thou wilt.

Writers have liberties and right they can use to navigate bounties and alot of other rps too.

So I have a question for everyone about this related topic. And I personally don't understand it, im a direct person I speak my* mind and im asking for perspective.

Why might writers choose not to use the above and insist/expect/(insert w/e synonym you want)that others change for them?

Edit: I'm on mobile. Excuse the typos
