[IDEA] Wanted/Missing/Information Posters

[trifecta 0]

I don't know if this was already suggested but here it is anyway.

[WANTED POSTERS]

I think a way to get rid of bandits is by putting Wanted Posters.

A good place for this will be a huge board in the big cities and 3 or 4 scattered around in some random villages.

What will you be rewarded if you kill the bandit?

That's simple, his loot.

I know it's hard modding ARMA 2 but i was doing some thinking about the wanted system and it will be good if it worked like this:

1)Find Paper and pens as loot

2)Interact with the bill board

3)Use paper and pen

4)Input name of player

5)Input description and last seen location

6)This will be only available if player has X amount of murders and X amount of humanity.

[MISSING/INFORMATION POSERS]

The same issue with finding pens, paper and a bill board.

A missing person (friend) or some information like bandits are holding Devil's Castle...

It will improve realism alot.

Please discuss!

So how would people know about this? Would they have to go and read the boards? If so, sniper heaven...

And if someones name is listed there and you kill him, do you get a bonus of some sort? Or if you kill a player who isnt on the board do you get penalised?

Maybe, if a player has killed >5 players his name gets put on the board automatically?

Good idea, but should be some sort of automatic thing.

As it's already hard finding a specific guy, this wouldn't change much, but would be interesting.

The "Top bandits" could be listed.

And the other way round: Do gooders that kill too many bandits would be blacklisted.

Well if there is anyway to remove the sniper DM it's better to be automatic... And the last seen location would be updated every X hour or so...

This is what happens when you kill many people. You get notoriety and therefore you become famous, but fame makes people hunt you down.

Well a good thing is when the last seen will update every hour or so... and this board system will stalk the player on every server he will go so there is no hiding.

But then we need to see the limitations of the mod and the ARMA engine... (forgot it's name :p)

a) learn to use the search function

b) I agree that a zombie apocalypse is the perfect time for a magical hand of god to come down and put up wanted posters that update every hour so the bad man can be hunted because god is a good man and his hand will make everything betterer yay magical powers to save us from the bad men

c) most people who die don't know who killed them (at least, on the veteran servers and anyone not playing veteran is a coward and a cheat) so how can the put up wanted posters?
