WANTED!

Username: JohnWalker
Suggestion Idea Name: Wanted System
Suggestion Details:
So, I came up with a quite (in my opinion) interesting idea which will make the Dark Guild characters seem a bit more scary and overall threatening. (ICly ofc)

Here it goes.

Since Dark Guilds does (usually) dark things like destroying cities, crimes and all that in general I find it quite odd that there's little to none recognition of a dark guild member that has done something pretty horrid, now I'm going to use myself as an example here.

Let's say John goes out on a job, the job is to take out and kill one important person. Now John does this successfully but the way he does this causes an apartment complex to burn down and kills 5 civilians as well. Now, this will cause the police force in the area to go looking for him and if John gets away they put up a Wanted sign for him based on descriptions and witnesses.

Now the reward for the one taking down John is of course going to differ, if he gets dangerous enough they might offer a reward for seeing him dead and an even bigger for someone catching him. But if the wanted poster says Alive only, then if he dies there is no reward.

Of course this can mean that a D-rank Dark Guild Mage can get hunted down by S-rank Legal guild mages but to balance it out a bit I think a limit of 2 ranks above so the person who gets hunted down has a chance to either fight back or escape. Same if the wanted person is of S-rank, a D-rank mage doesn't have a chance at all, nor does a B-rank mage really have a chance either, but should they group up they can take the convict down.

Now different crimes will of course give different punishments and different rewards.

Should John be captured after burning down an apartment complex he might get a wanted sign saying.

Wanted:

But of course this is just speculations but if something like this were to be implemented (and correctly) it could work out nicely and it would give people a reason to ICly fear or respect Dark Guild characters, of course there are plenty of ways it can be exploited but if you turn it into a Job it could work quite nicely I think, especially since it would allow character development a lot more as well.

Though one thing I'd like to touch on is just because a Dark Guild Character goes on a Dark mission, doesn't it mean that he's wanted for it, there are several types of missions and I think that a special type of Dark Jobs should be implemented and in the information for the Job it should say: This job will give you an wanted level of x (X being able to vary from 1 - 5. 1 being low risk low reward and you have to take them alive whilst 5 is high risk high reward and it's either dead or alive.)

Now, I understand that there are some people who will disagree with this because of the Dead or Alive thing, as not everyone wants to kill their character. I'm still just brain storming right now and I'm open to suggestions.

So, what do you think and give me your opinions.

i agree with this idea, we are a dark guild after all we should be doing some dark deeds~

I like it, it gives dark guild mages something to strive for (becoming one of fiores most wanted mages) and for legal mages something to get money from

>.> well hate to rain on everyone's parade. But this has been suggested. 5 times now I think. I do believe Hiro Villein had a very likable system for this.

If it has been suggested so many times, why hasn't it been implemented yet?

idk

Because of the flaws. Such as: A character isnt going to get arrested if they dont want to. They can just ignore any attempts to capture them by just *not* doing threads with legal mages or however you feel this should be done.

Also, there's no mirror system for the dark guilders. We dont have enough darkies as it is, so making choosing a legal guild even *better* probably isnt the way to go. Like you said, characters arent going to get killed off.

This is a system that makes sense IC, but fails OOC because it would make more people likely to come to the legal side when we have enough as it is. Beat them in PvP and take them to jail with some special lacrima handcuffs that are issued by the MC. If this system DOES get implemented, it should only be for Rune Knights, because god knows we need more of them. Prison sentence etc should depend on the crime and then there's always the whole "prison escape" thing.

Lots of work, not enough payoff imo.

We are working on a jail system. Be patient.

Don't we have like 3 prison sub sections?

This has been in discussion before. Everyone seems to want it but it never gets implemented.

I've even offered an old system I used/built on a failed site. I'll post it again because I want to.

also the original discussion was here, https://www.fairytail-rp.com/t6350-wanted-criminals-contract-kills-oh-my

Once again be patient. We are working on stuff. Quit adding to our pile. We are streamlining the prison system because there ISN'T one.

I think it'll be well worth the wait :) Sounds exciting and there's really nothing on here I don't enjoy so far! :3 *is pumped*

O suggest this thread be closed down before someone says something that will infuriate Kyll and bring down the mighty banhammer upon us all. ^_^
