Assassination or Slavery OOC (MU)

[Saul Perth]

Viktor doesn't get more for saving his life? :CCry1

 

[Ten10dix]

Now now, little peoples. Lets not get carried away with the moneyz xD.

Anyway you put it, I very much doubt any of us would be allowed to gain 500,000 credits from a single, simple thread such as this one. That is the main reason I refused, that and the fact Karl is smart and wouldn't risk his life for a few deliciously tempting credits.

 

[Fantasy Liver]

I have a feeling that one of us is going to end up dying depending on what Viktor chooses. :)

 

[Saul Perth]

muahahahahahaha

You'll have to wait in suspence a while longer, no time to post atm.

 

[Saul Perth]

Here's my decision, and I will honor this in thread.

I'll let Karl live, provided he runs away and causes no trouble for us. Also, no money for him. Otherwise Viktor will probably just barbecue him.

As for Audric, he gets his one of the credit chits, while Viktor gets the other two. BUT, Audric gets to return with our prisoner and collect the reward for finishing the mission.

I'll go ahead and wait for Ten to post.

 

[Ten10dix]

But that makes no sense...

As mentioned previously, I very much doubt we will simply be able to acquire 500,000 credits in a simple thread such as this one, let alone 750,000. I can ask an Admin about this, but I am almost certain we would not be allowed. Like I said, this is one of the reasons I'm having Karl refuse the offer.

I've given you both a perfectly good set of reasons to go along as originally planned, the gun to the face was simply out of fear you'd give in. As Karl already said, you'd of both done the same were you in his position. Your characters are rather prone to temper, but I doubt they are devoid of reason.

All in all, the only way we can finish this thread fairly (and by that, I mean not get loads of credits this easily) is if we all go on and complete the mission.

 

[Saul Perth]

1.5 million isn't a crazy number given the stakes involved and how much cash indie factions can throw around with a bit of work, but I agree admin approval is the best route.

It's also less about why Karl pulled his gun, but more what Viktor and Audric saw/felt when he did.

 

[Ten10dix]

There are no stakes involved...

This is as easy as us going in, rolling around a bit and tackling someone down and bam! We make 500K each.

That is how easy it would have been if Karl had agreed to go along with it. Such a system cannot be approved because it can be abused way too easily.

But I'll bring the Admin in, just in case.

 

[Saul Perth]

The stakes in this case are our character's lives, at the hands of another PC. If the mission was as you described, we wouldn't be in a position to make 1.5 Mil.

 

[Ten10dix]

No, the stakes aren't our characters lives. The only reason the stakes went up is because Karl refused the offer. If he hadn't, then we'd of easily been able to walk off with 500,000. The only reason Karl refused was because I assumed we wouldn't be able to take the bribe anyway, and so I added the "gun in your face" aspect for a bit of interesting and tense RPing which has now escalated. I assumed you'd be like "Get the gun out of my face, moron, I was never gonna be bribed".

Regardless of the above, I was never planning on killing anyone. You were the ones who mentioned killing, not me. Again, I assumed this thread would be a no death thread, and that you guys knew that.

It seems I may have assumed too much lol.

*Ahem*

Currency isn't of much value on the SWRP as it is. So if your characters were able to make it off with 500K credits (which they wont; you think a Muun would just willingly give up that money?) there's not a lot you could do with it anyway. If you wish your characters to stay with the MU I suggest you complete the mission objectives:

"It is imperative that you find the Muun, and more importantly the two million credits he stole."

I don't mind dirty dealing and keeping the money for yourselves, BUT all three of you have to be on board. If you're not, than you have to find something all three of you can agree on. The mission isn't just a test of will, it's a test of teamwork and cohesion. So far you're failing on the last two counts.

 

[Ten10dix]

Currency is quite a big deal, it can get you equipment from the tech boards.

I never knew this was a test of teamwork... I didn't even know this was a test xD.

Anyway, don't blame me! I'm the only guy trying to play with the M.U. fairly! It's the other guys who want the money...

:CStern

Damn greedy mercs... xD.

 

[Saul Perth]

Advanced technology like grenades duct-taped together doesn't buy itself. :CStern

And there's the speeder bike, and Viktor's new chiropractor...

 

[Ten10dix]

He did crash his speeder bike into an apartment...

Something that was completely needless but also rather cool.

 

[Saul Perth]

Something that was completely needless but also rather cool.

Which means it was absolutely needed. :CHappy

Honestly I've gotten all my ships and weapons (save lightsabers) from the tech boards and haven't payed a single credit for any of it. I think the price tag that comes with it is to determine what class of citizen could afford such a weapon/ship. If someone wants to RP all their credits and plan out what to buy with the credits they accumulate then go ahead that sounds pretty cool. But at the same time I've yet to see anyone demanding, accepting, or giving money for the tech they use with their character.

You can't be a top class mercenary if you can't play well with others. :P If they want the money let them take it. The chips are forged anyway. XD Who just carries around 1.5 Million credits in their pocket?? That kinda money gets left in a bank! I will say this though; I hope the three of you can work out a game plan on how to tackle this. Missions in the future will come against much tougher opponents and the "distractions" will be a lot higher than just credits.

 

[Vencu]

Ten10dix is right. We're not going to allow any of you to jump into a single thread and walk away with hundreds of thousands of credits. If you want to explain why he isn't offering each of you more, say that he spent a lot of it already to pay people off or that he was robbed (which could lead to another mission, hunting down the thieves). If you still want him to try and pay all of you off, one-hundred thousand credits each is the limit. That's still a hefty sum considering Jabba only paid thirty-five thousand for Chewbacca. That's my ruling.

Thank you for being honest. I haven't taken a look at your character profile yet, but most of the starships in your faction write-up will need to be removed, as they belong to other factions or organizations. If you want them, your faction has to get permission, purchase them, or steal them. The Mandalorian products can be purchased here. I don't believe the Chiss Ascendancy sells their technology, so you'll have to go through the faction leader to find out about the others. If you have faction tech in your character profile, please run it by me via PM.

I think the price tag that comes with it is to determine what class of citizen could afford such a weapon/ship.

Sometimes that's the case, but if the affiliation and ownership lines say it belongs to someone or something else, you can't just take it as your own. Faction tech is usually restricted and can only be captured, stolen, or received as part of a special deal with the faction leader (all of which require an IC thread and faction members to role-play the opposition if it is a theft or capture). The Mandalorians are one of the only factions that sell their technology openly via an IC catalog thread.

But at the same time I've yet to see anyone demanding, accepting, or giving money for the tech they use with their character.

You haven't been looking close enough, then. Every tech profile tells you who owns it and if it is for sale or if it can be used by others.

 

[Ten10dix]

Thank you for clearing that up, Vencu.

Ok, so bribery is out of the question unless either of you want to take up the 100,000. I doubt you will, because doing so will get you hunted down and make me very, very, very sad. Like this.

:CCry1

Or we can all happily do what we were planning to do anyway and all be like this

:bitchez :CHappy :bitchez

In all seriousness, and silly humor aside, Karl is very sorry for putting a gun to your heads and, while he cannot promise this will never happen again, he does promise it won't happen in the immediate future.

 

[Fantasy Liver]

All right, I'm fine with that. I think it's Viktor's turn to post.

I appreciate your help, but in my previous posts I'd already told them they weren't getting 500K:

I feel like people didn't read my post...

The reward for this mission is 10,000 credits. I have a word document with all the mission rewards and none of them get anywhere close to 100,000 credits. I appreciate you guys calling in the admins, but in the future PM me first so we can work it out amongst ourselves. If there are still issues beyond that, then we'll contact an admin. They are busy enough as it is without having to be called in on things that could have been dealt with in-house.
