Personally, suspension or not, it's probably best I'm never in a room with (Gregg) Williams and wonder if such an order crosses the lines of the aggressive, competitive spirit we all know and love about the sport and leans closer to a criminal act and therefore litigious matter.

Chicago White Sox GM Kenny Williams • Expressing anger at the now-suspended former defensive coordinator, who spearheaded a controversial bounty system on his NFL teams, which encouraged defensive players to violent hit receivers. Williams has a reason to be upset — his son is San Francisco 49ers receiver Kyle Williams, who was one of the players targeted in an audio recording released Thursday. The receiver has known a history of concussions.

People are still bitching because I hate the Saints?

Hahahaha. Get the fuck over it. I hate thay team. I hate that city. I know more about football than you think. So don't jump to conclusions. How would you even know my level of intelligence about football? Based off of what? My Tumblr? Sorry I don't blow Tumblr up with football talk. But I know there are stupid fucks like you who hide behind a computer screen and try to act superior. You get off your high horse. Every single one of you proves my points about Saints fans. None of you are rational and listen to someone else's point. I don't give two shit what Drew Brees does for a city. He isn't on the same level as Tom Brady, he doesn't deserve to be paid more than him. And he won't be. Also, I was talking about the bounty. Way to just ignore that. But oh wait, no one wants to talk about that. Let's just ignore how I was talking about how Kurt Warner should sue. Didn't even mention Drew Brees in that post and yet that's all you argue about.

I understand that you're proud of your team and your QB. I get that. But you also need to realize how much the Saints are losing because Drew wouldn't take $18 million. Maybe he does deserve $24 million, but that's not the point. The point is that there is only so much cap space and they have other players to pay too. He is being kind of selfish for trying to get more money than what they can give him. They're the New Orleans Saints, not the New Orleans Drew Brees.

And I'm not saying that you shouldn't be proud. You have every right to. Just like I have every right to my opinion and every right to not like the Saints.

Fixing the Eve Bounty System

Through forums, podcasts, and local, I've heard a lot of ideas for fixing the current bounty system. I've also heard a lot of frustration and seen people throw up their hands and claim there is no fix.

I have a proposal and figured I would post it here before taking it to the forums.

The problems are:

If you place a bounty on another player, you pretty much have to follow that player around to see if the player was killed and the bounty paid. There is no notification or other visibility mechanism. This is a poor user experience and takes the drama out of placing bounties.

The system is easy to game at the moment. If I have a 20M ISK bounty, I can jump into an empty clone and have an alt kill me. The alt gets the 20M and I have a laugh.

My proposal is a little wacky, but as someone likely to have a bounty on my head soon, I think effective.

When I set a bounty on someone, it can be for any amount of isk up to 50M (or a similar number). When a bounty hunter kills the target, they get that amount. But they're paid from the wallet of the target.

If the kill doesn't happen in 30 days, the originator gets back some amount of ISK and the bounty is removed from the target - like kill rights.

With a successful podding, the original bounty is officially released to Concord as a fee. It also acts as collateral to pay the successful bounty hunter, in case the target doesn't have enough ISK to pay. If that's the case, the target will have a negative wallet until they pay it off. Ouch.

It fixes a few interesting exploits that would otherwise pop up.

A target can't have an alt kill him without at best breaking even. There's no motivation, except perhaps to clear the bounty on is head. That seems like an acceptable condition, though, as it's inconvenient and funny.

A griefer can't add a bounty to a random and kill them for profit, as the bounty creator and the target both pay.

That approach, plus keeping a log of bounties in the Character Info screen (to show history and self-kills) would make the bounty system fun and functional, if a bit controversial.

Now, obviously, a rich griefer could very well just toss a few billion in as a bounty, effectively bankrupting the target toon for life (most likely). That's why I also propose a limit of 50M or some small multiple of that at any given time. Sort of a maximum bounty limit per target.

One modification to this could be to make the fee much less for anyone with active kill rights. That would also act in a way as transferable kill rights.

I would love feedback. You probably think I'm nuts, but I quite like the idea!
