I had the idea to make the public Bingo Book in the Character Profiles section. Now ICly for role play purposes it would be a tablet device sold in all general stores. This allows it to electronically become updated whenever new information is posted. I think I might have an alt to act as a scouter for information. To avoid an invasion of privacy, ooc knowledge will not be put in the book. Meaning the knowledge of ones entire history, skill set and all that other junk us computer typers may see but the characters don't, won't be included..
As well I thought the information should be very brief and subtle;
Name
Age
Height & Weight
Affiliation/Home Town
Rank
Status
Lastly, a bounty
I figure that not all nin will have a bounty on their head, for most aren't evil. The bingo book itself is like a manifesto of the sort, keeping track of the population as well as active role players we have on SL, meaning the more outdated the information the more inactive said character is. As for the bounty section, instead of imaginary money, I'm thinking of a twist and incorporate DP and possibly give it a better use. There would be a chart that needs to be setup to calculate pricing and what not, but I'd like the idea of villages and high authority figures themselves to be able to declare bounties. For fun, for justice, for whatever purpose.
An example would be: A group of players have just breached a village's walls and is now robbing their bank in what seemed to be a heist operation. Things go sideways and the village's ANBU managed to subdue one of the members. Through the use of the bingo book and interrogation they are able to find out the names of the other assailants. By placing a bounty on each of their heads the village asks for a high price. Now other players may seek out said nin to capture them upon the request, and claim the bounty.
A small scenario of how the bingo book and bounty hunting could add a new aspect of RP to SL. One thing I do want to make clear is that I am not trying to make the Bingo Book some sorta magic genie that tells you where exactly a person is. Its to guide players to track down those wanted, as well as keep order of who is roaming the SL world.
Maybe even a little small picture could be displayed next to the information, maybe not. I feel like this could open up a whole other style of role play, making criminals really watch their step; due to being on the look out. As well as make heroes, seek out the villains for extra loot and justice. Cops and Robbers still at play.
