Suggestion Write rules protecting Bounty Hunters invading Dominion threads without faction permission

[Tefka]

Do you want this to happen?

 

[Kitter Bitters]

Just to clarify ... this would only apply to writers who have their bounty toggle on right?

 

[Kyric]

A lot of writers got that dog in em, I tell you what.

There's a part of me that feels like we should be able to discuss this without needing proper rules in place. But the larger part of me feels like it's better to have some form of rules put in place to protect people who want to do bounty hunting.

Some follow on bounty hunt thoughts - I don't think that they necessarily jive with how we operate BUT it would be interesting to see an instituted bounty hunters guild that is not only IC but OOC. If you want to bounty hunt you have to get a license and join the guild. Keeps tabs on all licensed hunters. If they act crazy then their license could be revoked - no more invading dominions. Feature not a bug? Might be neat.

A very fortuitous ruling, if it's accepted by the community. I assumed that the phrasing "invade your threads not labeled "private"" (from the bounty toggle option) extended to faction map threads like dominions, but a rule that explicitly protects bounty hunters from being barred from RPing their bounty contracts would be excellent.

I think there should be rules for it since it could be plenty fun to have in the right context, but I also think those rules probably should include that if the target being sought after is already in a group for that dominion with people who may not have the toggle on, then it needs to be discussed first rather than impromtu jumping in so that the parties involved who don't necessarily want to be part of bounty hunting stuff don't get sucked into it without consent. Otherwise, we could end up with people who have the toggle on getting isolated from writing partners who don't and don't want to be part of it and unintentionally encouraging those people to turn off the toggle as well.

hen it needs to be discussed first

Unecessary beauracracy intended to bloat and nothing else

You can already discuss joining doms to pursue a bounty toggle. These rules are specifically being asked for to avoid having to ask permission to join.

 

[Sahan Dragr]

For clarity sake, I think it's a good idea. I'm pretty sure it's already technically possible, but it's always good to make things more clear, so everyone is on the same page on what is permissable and what isn't.

You could just turn your toggle to "off" if you are really wanting to tell a specific story in a certain dominion. Then set it back to "on" once that story is told. To me the toggle seems to be the consent.

Saying "Please, no bounty hunters" or similar in the intro would also be pretty simple.

I think the onus should be on the bounty hunter to obtain consent. Prewritten consent can be revoked IRL.

The toggle is abstract enough it might as well be a "DMs are Open" flag for Bounty Hunting.

A shortcut for avoiding communication with factions in a dominion seems like a quick trip to salt-fueled bounty based sabotage.

Spoiler: PSA

 

[Vazela]

Yes.

To the folks talking about permission for entering a Dominion or approaching other writers about whether or not they would be 'ok' with a bounty attempt on their character, in a thread voting to nullify both of these concepts, is really funny.

Next can we look at having a bounty board section under marketplace?

I’m working on creating something like this as we speak

I've recently written bounties that people absolutely could use to harass others in a dominion.

I'd like for that not to be the case.

Also, to repeat something from the other bounty thread:

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.

If we're going to let people drop in unannounced without communication they should be ready to accept that they might be entirely ignored without communication.

 

[Jasper Kai'el]

I think it's pretty simple to me. If you ain't looking to be hunted turn off your toggle for an invasion. As long as folks are being respectful about who has the toggle on I say it's a solid idea.

This PSA is stupid af lmao why are people listening to crap like this

“Consent requires an enthusiastic yes”

Does denial require an enthusiastic no?

Are we just trapped in a state of inaction if nobody’s enthusiastic?

Literal brain dead take. You should try taking that to a judge in any country’s court. “Well, your honor, as you can see in Exhibit 3.12, there is no exclamation point next to my signature on this contract…”

I thought we had that, I can check.

But im also unenthusiastic to consent to this given Chaos has a history of treating bounties like high school popularity contests and not utilizing them for rp potential
