Below is when the fourth chase will be.
TIME: Saturday, October 11th, at 3PM PDT
LOCATION: All sectors with a station that is not owned by a nation.
OBJECTIVE: FiReMaGeII will be running across sectors. You are to search and destroy FiReMaGeII for FiReMaGeII's 160k bounty.
RESTRICTIONS:
1. No Lightning Mines. (Some say they cause lag, I'll go with them.)
2. No Locust Swarms. (They have a low chance of hitting me.. and they may also lag the sector.)
3. No lag related exploits.
OPTIONAL: Stop all players using lightning mines and swarms.
Yes, Avalon Torpedoes are allowed, as well as proximity mines. Everything else, other than the restrictions, is permitted. That includes station nuking.. for now.
What I want to see out of this is many people working together to kill me and killing others to stop them from getting me. And, of course, for me to live at least longer than a minute :P.

The first bounty chase event had around ten people. The two that hit me most were StarFreeze and Blaster. Blaster and Hunter Alpha always seemed to be the closest people behind me. StarFreeze kept predicting where I would go next to wait there for me.
THE WINNER: Hunter Alpha
SHIP STATS:
Hunter Alpha - Vulture with dual Sunflare and a heavy engine
StarFreeze - Centurion with a Sunflare
Blaster - Vulture with dual Rails

This week had only 4 players, and the run was only half as long as the last. So that means I only survived 5 minutes, unlike ten minutes the last time. zamzx GOLD mined a billboard that I never flew through. The two that were closest behind me were UncleDave and Defense Ship 4 (SirCamps). UncleDave dealed the most damage.
THE WINNER: SirCamps
SHIP STATS:
SirCamps - Standard Rocket Valkyrie
UncleDave - Standard Rocket Valkyrie

This is the first bounty chase to have gone across sectors, and it lasted up to 35 minutes. It all started in sector 10, but no one was chasing me even after I traveled to sector 5. Wilo spotted me, but I quickly went all the way back to sector 11 still with no players behind me.
Going to sector 10, many have found my location out and chased my ship viscously. There was no other option but to cross sector 7 and arrive in the overpopulated sector with TGP Corp in the center. Hit by the edge of a tri rocket, I was pressured by mind into hesitation, planning to get to sector 17.
No extra hits were made until I was scattering around in sector 17. Boing! and /^\ were behind me from this point and on. The purple ships of sector 17 could not do anything to destroy these two. Locked down by two standard rocket valkyries, I struggled to warp to sector 11.
Finding out it wasn't hard at all, being afraid of the now orange hull percentage, I warped to sector 11. There came more players, hungry for my bounty. Blaster and Dark Katarn became part of the group that was always behind me. Dodge maneuver after dodge maneuver, my ship trailed along the shattered ring of sector 11. But only forming a quater circle, I went to the mostly unused sector 13.
My plan to go from one end of the asteroid line of sector 13 to the other end failed as most of the chasers were making that asteroid filled path dangerous. However, I still made it from one end of the asteroid line into the hollow asteroid of sector 10, which spaced the chasers from my ship, giving myself some breathing room. Upon leaving the hollow asteroid, I became conscious of my HUD enough to look at what the orange percentage was. This said percentage was 22%.
Minutes have passed and no extra hits were made. From within sector 5, I managed to fly around sector 13 warp, tricking half the chasers into warping to 13. I hovered to sector 9 warp and tried to deceive the remaining chasers, but they wouldn't budge, leaving me to decide to warp into 9.
Uneasy with the situation, I made no decision to stay in sector 9, fleeing to sector 7. My fleeing did not stop; I went to sector 10 immediately, making no fancy dodges. There, in sector 10, came all the dodge maneuvers which the past minutes lacked. After Blaster hit me with a single rail, these dodge maneuvers improved, disallowing a second rail to hit even after being in nearly close proximity.
Making no progress with the path that leads to sector 11 from sector 7 warp, I chose to get back into 7. Before I could travel 2000m away from sector 10 warp within sector 7, Hoax hit me with his devastating dual rail. My ship instantly exploded, keeping me from knowing whether he hit me with one rail or both. That concludes the Third Bounty Chase Event.
THE WINNER: Hoax
ROUTE: 10 - 11 - 13 - 5 - 13 - 11 - 10 - 7 - 9 - 11 - 17 - 11 - 13 - 5 - 9 - 7 - 10 - 7
SHIP STATS:
Hoax - Vulture with dual rails, medium engine, and heavy battery
Blaster - Vulture with a rocket launcher and rail
Boing! - Standard Rocket Valkyrie
/^\ - Standard Rocket Valkyrie

rogue? really? 10mil vendetta bounty? well no one has over 7million score...
Some of you have looked at the ranks and wondered why FiReMaGeII is in the robot nation (it displays as "??"). This post presents an event and explains this.
FiReMaGeII has a Vendetta bounty (not the sector 7 bounties, a real one) of 160000. That's 160k. I wanted everyone to have a chance to get it, so I asked a1k0n for FF (not robot nation) on me, and this is what I got.
I wish none of you bother a1k0n into getting into robot nation unless you have a 160k bounty that you wish to share, not to enjoy robot nation...
Remember, read the entire post. Carefully. [Edit: Regarding about people who mistaken the kind of bounty the bounty really is...]
For those curious:
1. The client only displays me as green in third person and white in scoreboard in the first sector I am in. After warpign to another sector, it thinks I'm in nation one (Itani Nation).
2. My name is white in the scoreboard and my ship is green.
3. NPC's of the robot nation do not attack me even if I damage them.
4. Defense NPC's will still attack me.
5. I can talk in the main chat, it displays as white. (Which is why I don't want to, it will be the most eye catching and hype players on how I'm doing it)
6. I haven't stolen a flag, a1k0n isn't eager to know what will happen.
7. I can dock and do everything else normally. (And that means I don't have access to a furie or blue ions.)
8. I'm not the first to be in robot nation.
9. My kills are not announced (unless it is a PK), but all kills count and add to my bounty/score/money.
10. While it thinks im in Itani Nation, I see all blue players as allies, so they dont come up with the X button, but I can still damage them and etc.
That's all, I'll put more if I find anything new.

I don't think his kills register.
I added #9, look at it. The bots probably can hurt me (I haven't rammed any to know), but I said they don't attack me.
it's the last hit that counts, so yeah :/
nice job, though i must admit i wouldnt have stood a chance, so yeah.... lol
